By health do you mean able to take the floor, or as in no ailments? Because we know damn well the latter isn't a reality.

Lakers aren't doing shyt against a younger, more spirited and cohesive unit like the Grizzlies. Over the course of a series, the Lakers' age, wear-and-tear and lack of consistency will be their undoing. They're not walking into FedExForum and taking multiple games off Memphis. It's just not happening. As strange as it may sound, the Lakers' best hope would've been drawing a team like the Suns in the 1st round, one that is similar in age and pace, and not a young, hungry team who has playoff experience like the Grizzlies.

Facts. The Grizzlies gonna destroy the Lakers, AD gonna get mauled by JJJ, hell that G League rook they just signed might even tag in and work AD over too. I don't know why yall put so much stock in AD after what he's showing you. Lebron ain't gonna have it like that either over the course of a series, because he's old he keeps falling in love with his three which ain't that nice and tends to let other teams stay in games when he misses those. Which means you're relying on/hoping on/praying for the supporting cast to show up and not be asscheeks on a consistent basis. They'd be better off dropping this first play-in game and trying to snag that 8th seed to go up against the Nuggets. Limit Jokic and contain Murray and they got a good shot at beating them.

Wolves had all that drama and still beat the Pels.

KAT was in foul trouble in the 4th quarter and Willie Green keep JV on the bench. :beli:

I wish the Clippers and Sun's weren't facing each other. Two teams that I think could give Warriors real problems.
