Inside Guys React to Austin Reaves' 4th QTR Takeover in Game 1 | NBA on TNT

and the whole gang and I love these Lakers-ready white uniforms. I love the white Lakers uniforms. Play the first

game

on the FedEx forum. Hey, stop the ball, oh my God. I play defense like that. He is a fugitive. The Lakers would lead by 10 at first. Jaren Jackson Jr. Memphis loses five after one, you're getting a little mad, aren't you okay? Come on, stop it, yeah, two jaws ahead of the pack 38-27, they outscored the Lakers in the second quarter. Desmond Bain matched his jersey number with 22. Well, this guy right here, oh Anthony Davis, holding on to that shoulder after this play, couldn't move his arm.

Ernie, that's right, he headed to the locker room for the rest of the first half, you know what they put in the money, well, let me. I guess some of that hot, cold man on my arm is there. I see how that is, so you wonder what his status would be for the rest of the

game

. Oh, it turns out he came back out for the second half. Well, he could move. he put on when he came out, yeah, he could, okay, just checking, it must have been just one meat 65-59 Memphis at halftime yeah, it looks good She outscored Memphis 37-25 in the third quarter I know your name tomorrow in the second half, I told him You man, you get a Lakers credit, give Rob a Lakers credit, go out and get, I don't know how the hell these flakes got all these players, it's crazy how many players they got in the trade deadline.

A.D calling Morant's accusation and you saw that he bandaged his hand, he had a late season, oh, an injury to his right hand, since you can't try to hold on, you can't try to hold on, the x-rays were negative, I got it , you can't fall. Don't try to catch yourselves

guys

, LeBron for three, what do you land on him? His body is fine, just checking Sharon Jackson pitching from Deep Memphis one down with 3-10 left and then the Lakers scored the next 15 days. I told them, hey, this guy was. so this is not my line, it's Mark Jackson's line, Austin Powers said, Austin Reeves was killing it, first place, this is him in his first playoff game, he got 23.

The Lakers had four

guys

with at least 20, they came 128 to 112 they took away the home field advantage from the Grizzlies shooting 53 percent in the process 22 to 10 second chance points they won the boards 45-34-10 offensive huh, how about a post game from yesterday? It's not surprising what he's doing tonight, maybe for some of you guys who don't see him as much, you don't cover him as much, but for me not, I'm very happy for them and you know I wanted to do it again, obviously, when they met guys like brown and A.D it makes life a little easier you dream of being on a stage like this you know you just know the best basketball players in the world uh it's the playoffs and you know uh I got excited late and you know, have fun, man tough, especially you know, with everything, uh, I've been through, um, pretty much, you know, this season, um, you know, my main goal was, you know, being there for my guys, another incident, you know, in the which you know is largely, you know, in danger, honestly, man.

I don't know, at this point I'm not even surprised that you know my life has gone. Just you know I'm pretty numb to everything now it's one thing after another 128 112 your final score is one thing you see and it's really magnified in the playoffs. Basketball is when you get a contribution from someone saying wow, that was something you didn't really look for. Look at Trey Lyles for Sacramento, yeah, in the first game against Golden State, and then you look at Austin Reeves at 23 rui with 29. Ernie, this. That's why I've always been so enthusiastic about others. You know, LeBron had a pretty good game in the 20s, but there are no superstars in atmospheres like that, they have to be in the 30s, maybe even in the 40s, but when everyone else plays well. it just makes you run easier and the others play well.

I don't expect them to play like that every game, but they still have a big advantage on the court if he can give me two games like that at home as a superstar, Chuck and I or A.D. LeBron should be able to take care of the rest, but the others won that game for me tonight, so you know you have to make amends when Hachimura outscored the Memphis bench alone, you know, 39 to 24. You know, what we talked about earlier. They had a G League team a couple of years, they had a bunch of guys that just passed that Prime and then they had a G League bench.

I have no idea how they got Rui Vanderbilt Beasley D'Angelo, I mean, they became like real NBA players, just freshened up all the time, I mean like Ernie, they really are Reeves, he's been playing fantastic all along, but what Rob Polinko did during this trade deadline made them legitimate contenders because they were destroyed in the last two years. "He's on the bench and now all of a sudden you're like, 'They've got legit players, yeah, you know, obviously, I can watch the Lakers a lot, plus, if he's had a lot of games like this, but never on a stage, then.' It's like, it's the regular season, can he do that?

You know, first of all, honestly, the first time I saw him do it, I was like, yeah, that was against them, let me see, let me go against an elite team and then he couldn't. The leading team, oh, they said, can you do it again in the playoffs? And he's continually proving that he is who he is, but I think, Achimura, his 29-point game was probably even bigger because now it took a lot of pressure off of the game Inside and uh and then also Reeves allows LeBron not to be the primary ball handler you know you have you had a shooter you had Reeves and LeBron was spotting I don't I don't think I remember there's a point. guard in college, yes, yes, by the way, 58 shots in the last 11 games as a starter for Austin Reeves, but the Lakers, by the way, have won 24 consecutive series when they won the first game, yes, but you know what you have to understand as if no one had chosen.

Memphis to win this series you can't get over Steven Adams Clark's injuries uh that we picked him I picked him to win in seven grades yeah even without those two guys yeah oh Ernie that was a bad call they're not Brandon, I think so. I've only played one game in the series Hey, I'll give it to you. I'll bet you anything in the world. I said, you said you wanted to make another big billion, yeah, why not. That's all funny. I tell people Stephen Adams and Clark. to me he's fantastic, he's just a bunny full of energy, he's like a bigger Russell Westbrook, he gets every loose ball, every option, he has the same impact that Reeves has for the Lakers, yes, but he's a better player, but Stephen Adams to me is the guy and uh because you need him against A.D because and man, they just don't stand a chance without those two guys.
