Hi,
Tim here. You might know me as Cranjis McBasketball on Twitter. I’ve done a full scouting report on Memphis in advance of the Lakers-Grizzlies series that begins today, have released pods on [LA’s offense vs Memphis’ defense](https://twitter.com/Tim_NBA/status/1647472893125615617?s=20) and [LA’s defense vs Memphis’ offense](https://twitter.com/Tim_NBA/status/1647245759845212161?s=20), and am curious what questions you have about the matchup.
During the game today, if you want this kind of coverage be sure to join our [free Lakers Watch Party Playback stream](https://www.playback.tv/lakerswatchparty) (just authenticate w/your TV provider to get video or you can just sync up the audio and use us for sound) to watch the Lakers game with me and my podcast co-host as the announcers!
Ask me anything Lakers-Grizzlies!

Is it possible to target Jaās defense and play him off the floor?
Can Ja be limited by packing the paint in front of him?
Hello Tim my only question is: how are you doing on this beautiful Sunday?
Hey Tim, do you expect a feel-out game from LeBron today?
Brooks isnāt a great shooter. Any chance AD guards him with the same strategy memphis has re: JJJ on vando?
Any tape/stats on defenses forcing brooks to be the guy?
Do you think AD will return to his dominance playoff form from a few years ago or will he just disappear?
Right now Iām listening to your pod and reading this AMA at the same time. I know you picked lakers in 6 or 7 games to win. What percent chance to you give the lakers to win today? Lakers lost first game against suns 2 season ago and 1st game in a couple series in 2020.
How would you feel if the Grizzlies go smaller and start Kennard instead of Tillman? Would that help or hurt the Lakers more?
Less about Xs and Os, how significant do you think the 4 days of rest was specifically for Bron and AD? For Bron, do you expect him to have the legs to attack downhill out of PnR?
We all know more or less what weāll get out of our 2 stars, but do you see another player potentially being an X factor given the matchup? I personally would love to see Dlo, Reaves, or Rui take advantage of the opportunity
Do you think Rui will be starting by game 2?
