In the most explosive series of these Playoffs, Lakers and Grizzlies meet at the Crypto Arena for Game 4 of their series. Led 2-1, the Grizzlies, like the Bucks, must absolutely take this game to maintain a good chance of victory. But for that, the whole team would already have to be in good health and pass the ball properly.
From the beginning of this series, we knew that it would be tense, tight and with a good dose of trashtalking. Dillon Brooks, an expert in the field, had indeed already titillated LeBron James in series before, then he gave a layer during the equalizer at 1-1 by saying that the King “was old.” But the truth is on the ground and for the moment it is the Lakers who dominate the debates by leading 2-1. Game 3 was a nightmare for the Grizzlies with a disastrous start (35-9 in the first quarter) and a Dillon Brooks who gets kicked out for messing with Her Majesty’s royal jewels. Fortunately, Ja Morant woke up at the end of the game to give some suspense. The young superstar finished with 45 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists, but not enough to counter an in-form LeBron/AD duo.

On the upcoming match, the Grizzlies must therefore get back to the place. To begin with, Dillon Brooks will have to stay on the field to play his defensive bulldog role, because talking is good but acting is better. Ja Morant must start his madness from the first quarter, and collectively the team must start their meeting better and above all put their young leader back at the center of the collective. Seeing Game 3, we had the impression that Ja’s return was disturbing his teammates when it should logically be the opposite. From experience, LA will give everything to lead 3-1 and play the game thoroughly, knowing that for the moment Memphis has not found solutions to stop Anthony Davis. When he’s not sabotaging himself, the monobrow is a constant threat and definitely the best player in the series. Taking the advantage at 3-1 would mean a 95% qualification according to NBA stats, and in a case like this one can imagine a scenario where the Angelinos would finish the job in six, at home.
Capital match in this series tonight at 4 pm at the Crypto Arena. With the blue pill everything is restarted, with the purple and gold pill everything will seem to end!
