“Grizzlies in 7”🤡🤡🤡
The Lakers played championship-level basketball tonight
DLo saved them that last game with that 9-0 run he did
"I don't respect someone till they give me 40"- Dillion Brooks well u got your 40 brotha😂😂😂
2-10 15th in the west , 13th in west at the all star break, Lebron loses his first all game as a captain, now the Lakers are in the 2nd round this has to go down as the greatest comeback of all time in NBA maybe in sports
D’lo is trying his butt off to get the bag
Bro saw Kyrie courtside and had to turn up
Good in the West means 2 wins? Glad they are eliminated after all the crap they talked this year, the Ja gun incidents (plural), and Dillon BS. I don't know these Lakers are consistent enough to win the West, but they are much more balanced and AD is playing great D.
Everyone can be key player in this laker squad not only LeBron. Love it
🥶🥶🥶
Payback for Ja's too small in game 5, DLO went in on Ja.
This man saw kyrie sitting court side and said fuck that 😭🏀
ISSA PARADE INSIDE MY CITYYYY
THIS ONE FOR ALL THE DLO'S OUT THERE…DROP A LIKE 💥💯…WE BEAT THEM BY 40 DILLON BROOK'S 😆😂 SUPER ‼️ L
Lbj and AD set the tone.. dLo finished it and dropped 31pts!! Lakers on semis 💪
Ice in his Veins
He saw Kyrie and decided to drop 31🤣🙌. I'm hoping for him to play more consistently.
Russell the truth…hope he’s convinced now
Brooks asked for 40 and the Lakers gave it to them. be careful what you wish for.
Its Party in Cancun ya"ll👈👈🤣🤣🤣👉👉
He cook JA😂😂😂😂
Good game for D'Angelo Russell, I hope that he can play like that against Steph Curry next round assuming the Warriors beat the Kings on Sunday.
Kyrie should watch every Laker game so dlo can play like this.
I remember ja hit DLO w the “too small” gesture last game.. DLO got his lick back crazy this game 😂🔥🔥
Dlo saw kyrie at the game and said naw fuck that i need my job 😅
We need you, D-Lo 💪🏾
Now,Dillion Brooks got his 40 that he's wishing..
Championship 🏆 right there! anyone can blow up at any moment
DLO saw Kyrie and went crazy.
he was hoooooping tn
League is in trouble. On God. 2 best players having a relaxation session the whole 4th Q. And team still wins by 40.
the real mvp of this series was Tristan Thompson, he easily broke the high five and cheering record
🐔Chicken Brooks has left the building!! HAHAHA
Pink Baphomet Dress ,The King is Back big dick in the ass for the Championship Lebron Sexual Ja Morant Silenced by the Baphomet King , Stay in your place boy , Scarfice have to be made to win the rigged chip Boule Oath big Tofu Gmo Cloned head Lebron Broke back city.🍆🌽🍆🌽
hes unbelievable!! the russel we need
Lakers Nation house is on fire
Dlo seen Kyrie in the crowd and went OFF !! He said he’s not taking my spot next season 😂
The difference maker Toni. Let's go DLO 💜💛
He took it personally when he saw Bron dapping Kyrie
Everyone is ganging up on Memphis for their attitude but really you want that kind of crazy personality on your side beside someone who thinks they have something owed to them.
DLO saw Kyrie in the stands and instantly turned up 😂
Dlo ready to sign then custody papers to own the entire Memphis roster
Kabum!!!!!
When the opportunity presents itself, dlo always rises to the occasion. This is the version of dlo that's deservant of the max salary. His play will again be crucial in either matchup VS curry or Foxx at the PG position. Hope this is the turning pt for dlo in these playoffs. Stay hot and consistent with the shooting.
The BETTER Russell.
