Dillon Brooks Insults LeBron James While Reacting To Their Mid-Game Confrontation: "I Don't Respect No One Until They Come In And Give Me 40"
I guess Brooks can now respect LeBron, since the Lakers beat them by 40 points. The Lakers are so scary in these playoffs; they have proven to everyone that they are still here. Although they are the underdogs, beating Memphis in 6 is not as easy as we think, but the Lakers dominated the series.
Lastly, I would like to say that Memphis DYNASTY IS OVER!

As I previously pointed out, if the Lakers won't do something to aggressively contain Desmond Bane and Ja Morant, in Game 6, Memphis has a chance to tie the series and force a deciding Game 7 back at the Memphis home court which will be critical for the Lakers.
And guess what, here in Game 6 which is currently in Halftime, the Lakers are doing a good job containing both Bane and Morant and surprisingly these 2 Memphis Gunners just finished with 5 and 7 points respectively before halftime. Both also not showing a good stroke at their field goal attempts and having a bad night. Who knows though that they might be able to bounce back in the second half.
The Lakers are now up at 17 points. The score is 59-42 at halftime.
Yeah, it seems that the Lakers have a good chance to win the series and go on with the playoffs. They not only contained Bane and Morant, but AD is on fire in this game as well.
As for the Warriors, it was a disappointing lost at home, we thought that they are going to sweep (meaning winning the last 4 games), but they allow the Kings to steal this one at their home court. Now, they are tied, and this is the first series in this playoff that we are going to see a game 7.
The Lakers became the problem in the West right after the moment they made that trade and after a couple of games with DLo, Vando, and Beasley on the roster, the fans started to realize that the Lakers are now a playoff contender.
Judging on the Lakers performance from this series, I think they are capable of making it to the Finals. I mean when they play great, they play great both offensively and defensively. It looks like they made a re-run with how strong their defense was in 2020.
On the other hand, the Warriors and the Kings really had a long and exhausting game 7. This is gonna be good game to watch as they are down with the final showdown. Who ever gets the W will definitely have a good series against the Lakers.
The Nuggets and the Suns will have a great series too. The playoffs are just getting more interesting, I haven't seen a lot of upset in a while now.
With the way Lakers are playing, they are simply becoming deadlier than all the players are adjusting from one another,
unlike before, where most of the time LeBron handles the ball.
They are indeed. It's just really scary when LeBron and AD is playing pretty well.
I'm not sure if anyone else in here have noticed, AD was actually proving something in this series. I mean, JJJ is the NBA 2023 DPOY, but look at how AD dominated him all throughout this series. AD just had a total of 26 blocks in this series in comparison with JJJ's 12.
AD is built different, all he need to do is to protect the paint (like what he said in the post game interview) and be healthy.
While on the hilarious side, DLo stepped up in game 6 and the fans were saying it's because Kyrie was in attendance, if you know what I mean lol.
In the west, I consider Denver and Phoenix as the top dogs as well yet they need to face each other in the semi-finals. I really want to see Denver and Jokic win the championships this season.
They are a good team this season, and yet they are still the underdog in the series against the Suns. In terms of chemistry, I think the Nuggets are the better team, so I would not be surprised if they beat the Suns.
Murray needs to be consistent in the series, but he has already proven against the Wolves that he can lead his team. Even when he struggles, the team does not struggle fully because Jokic is always there to step up, and role players are ready to step up as well.
I think the bench players are the biggest advantage for the Nuggets in this series.
I don't know if GSW played badly last night or if Kings really had a solid game because I did saw the first half live and the 2nd half on highlight and for me , it was GSW playing poorly with bad shots , bad defense and bad teamplay during the attacks. With series being tied 3-3 , I do see Kings moving further because after all this is their best season after a very long time of waiting and eliminating the champs from last year , would be even sweeter for their fans.
Lakers...oh man , what a show from them and Memphis stood absolute no chance and I'm happy to see Lakers doing good again.

This is like the match where everyone would say that we need a new face in the next semi finals. The viewership for this remaining teams in the last first round match will be focused on them.
As they're the last one to get a toe to toe and do or die match.
As they're the last one to get a toe to toe and do or die match.
Will be cool to see if Kings would defeat Warriors in game 7 since for sure their games will be hype since they experience long playoff draught for almost 2 decades.
But Warriors is also a solid team which got huge global fan base so if the defending champ can surpass kings still their sales will soar up since many are still interested to watch if they can defend their title this season. They are the last team will face each other first round playoff so most provably many are now speculating on which of these team will be the best match up against Lakers.
I'm sure that it will be one of the greatest upset but then, it's not that of much an achievement for them until they get on the finals.

The matchup of Knicks vs Heat and Sixers vs Celtics is quite close two teams as well, surely if teams were switched and Knicks or Heat played Celtics or Sixers, I would say that Celtics and Sixers would have beaten the other two team, but now that that they are facing each other, it is not going to be easy at all, and that is a tough situation to be in. I hope that they will do a lot better, I hope that they can make it work as well as possible and my favourites right now is Celtics and Heat.
Celtics because they have been playing very well both all season long and during Hawks series as well, whereas Heat also beat Bucks so it could be great too. Depends a bit on injuries as well, if all is healthy, that is my prediction, Heat vs Celtics final for the eastern conference for sure.

Indeed, the eastern semi-finals have an odd pairing. The favorites to win the conference Boston and Philly are matched early while both Miami and NYC are the underdogs. Although it is hard to count out Miami Heat since they have too much experience in deep playoffs and has been upsetting higher seeds thru the years even with just a single superstar in the team. The Heat though is ravaged with injuries, even Jimmy Butler has an injury, hopefully, it won't get worse at least during the entire playoffs.
In the west, I consider Denver and Phoenix as the top dogs as well yet they need to face each other in the semi-finals. I really want to see Denver and Jokic win the championships this season.

This Lakers vs Grizzlies game was over by halftime. The Grizzlies have given up and I don’t think any of the Lakers stars will even play in the fourth quarter. A dominant showing for the Lakers as they prove they underperformed in the regular season and are going to be a problem in the playoffs. Now we wait to see if they’re going to be playing the Warriors or the Kings next.
Yes, the coaches of both teams decided to let the bench players play in the fourth quarter, thus giving the main players a rest. Although it seemed strange to me that the Grizzlies didn't even try to come back in the second half. By the way, there have been cases in NBA history when a team was losing a lot of points after the first half but still managed to win a game by continuing to fight until the last minute. So I am surprised that the Grizzlies had no desire to win such an important game and gave up so quickly.
It’s not that they didn’t want to comeback but their shooting percentage is very awful while they are behind by huge gap. I think Lakers will just continuously beat them to pulp if they manage to show any sign of recovery. Desmond Bane and Ja Morant is completely shut down. Lakers already knew how they counter this two and not repeat the same mistake on the previous match.
Lakers is a serious threat on anyone in Western Conference. I think they can beat any team if Warriors beaten by Kings since only Warriors have the experience to completely shut down Lebron on playoffs. The rest is just a rookie team to the current line-up of Lakers assuming that Davis will not get injured until the end.
This is like the match where everyone would say that we need a new face in the next semi finals. The viewership for this remaining teams in the last first round match will be focused on them.

Still either way or 50/50 as what the Kings shows in the last game, when they needed a win, they rise to the occasions and win big against the Warriors in their home court wherein, the Warriors is one of the best home team. However, Kings are not deterred by it and just fighting it back and giving everything they got against GSW.
Lakers on the other hand, didn't get the young Memphis team a chance, and by halftime they have secure a big lead. Thanks to AD and D'Lo, their defense is top in this game, Morant has a hard time scoring unlike in the previous games wherein he is just scoring at will. And it said that Brooks in MIA and won't talk to the media after this defeat.

Looking like the Kings are going to take the win against Golden State tonight. They’ve got their biggest lead of the series with just over 4 minutes left. That means the Kings have recaptured home court advantage for game 7. The Kings seemed to overcome bad officiating all night long which makes the win that much more impressive.
LeBron is up next tonight…
LeBron is up next tonight…
Kings beat GSW. This is an exciting series. GSW seems like already loss their composure in the since they are already missing easy shots and not eager to get the ball. Kings keeps getting an offensive rebound even Sabonis is already out. Wiggins free throw is terrible on crucial times. I think their mind is already on Game 7 when the lead is already above 10.
This loss is painful to me because I bet on GSW ML which bothering me since yesterday because I knew that Kings can do the same by beating GSW in the home court.
I skip betting on the next match. I really feel that I have the jinx. Let's go LAL!
Yeah, although I didn't bet on this one, but knowing that the Warriors are a huge favorite going into this game to close out the Kings, it's really painful to see and sad for the bettors who back them up.
But in the first quarter alone, they are not in their rhythm and we thought that they might come back in the 3rd quarter which they usually does and known to be that team. Still the same though or even worst as the Kings build up that double digit lead again and increased it at the end of that quarter. And with that, going to be a game 7 now.

Early garbage time. I didn't hit the over 218, thanks to that. Anthony Davis is scary when he is on focus. In 1st quarter he is already putting in a lot of defensive stops to give the Lakers an early lead that was kept until the final minute of the regulation.
I like what he did, he just used his height advantage to take rebounds, defend the rim, or catch an alley-oop. He didn't post up too much and was able to save time and follow the fast pace of the game.
With DLo catching fire, their offense is covered and Lebron had been accurate with his shots too. 9/13 field goals in 31 minutes, that's one heck of a high-percentage shooting performance.
The Lakers will advance, they will wait on who will win in Sacramento at Game 7. The only game 7 we have on all the 1st round games.
On the other hand, James leaving the floor early, sign that he doesn't respect Memphis or at least Brooks and not going to shake his hands in this huge win. Now, I hope that Brooks will learn his lessons here, do not poke the bear.
So now waiting for the winner of the Warriors and Sacramento Kings. Either teams though will be be a good matchup for Lebron.

With the way Lakers are playing, they are simply becoming deadlier than all the players are adjusting from one another,

The rotations now are really good with all the players inside the court are touching the ball and they keep it moving to find the open man.
I like to the way they play the game, all are options and all are capable of shooting the ball, the good factors also is when you
see LeBron and DLo' attacking both have good options to drop the ball to AD or kick it out to open man.

This is the last route I'd like to take but it a total sham of referring in the first quarter of the game, that's no excuse of course but Memphis Grizzlies were the better side for first few minute and Ja Morant drew the first foul on AD within less than a minute or thereabout, but then it went all side ways from there no single from every blatant, I think such could throw even the best teams of balance for the rest of the game, if I call correctly it took less than 2+ minutes for Memphis to get their first 9 points, but and but it was down the hill from there on!
I don't want to take anything away the brilliance of Anthony Davis or D'Angelo both were absolutely stunning today, I really do It's going to be the warriors the Lakers would be facing next, because should they play the kings, it might just be a significantly similar series like that of this.
