 What's the word y'all? The Lakers just had a ridiculous, ridiculous fourth quarter comeback versus the Clippers and I watched it last night. I'm gonna rewatch it again. That's how good of a fourth quarter it was. I need to rewatch it again. I've said this before, the Lakers are one of those teams, them and the Warriors, that it's hard for me to close the door completely on them because something like this could happen. I know that a playing team, playing team, I know. Starting off with a ridiculous camera shot. That set the tempo for the entire court. That is a shot that he had no business taking. He had no business making, but he did. Like fumble the catch and PJ Tucker, yeah, just saw a stat earlier today that PJ hasn't scored in the NBA game since November. Now it's not like he's played every single game, but that's still a very long time. A lot of this was this fellow right here, number 23, arguably the greatest ever do a fly-by three-point shot for LeBron James. I think he scored in this game 19 points. I'm sorry, not in this game, it's quarter 19 points while the Clippers scored 16 as a team. So it was just a ridiculous takeover. Something that we don't get too often now in this old age. He's still been amazing, but like a full, full quarter takeover for LeBron has been phenomenal. Is that Jay-Z? Brother Jay is there? Okay, Jay-Z is at the game. Didn't even peep that, didn't peep that. They probably showed him. I might have been in the bathroom when it happened. Quick stop, these hats to enjoy enthusiasts. The basketball enthusiasts enjoy hats are back on sale. The last time we sold them, they sold out in a matter of hours that tells us to tell when to restock, baby. So we restocked them. The link is in the description, enjoyvball.com, go copy one and let me know what you think I've been wearing mine for about a year or so now, it's one of my favorite hats, man, so get in. PJ Tucker has been really upset with his play time and I guess lack of play time, but like you're there to shoot corner threes. Shoot the ball, shoot the ball. And what is it ending a terrible shot attempt for the team? Like that is one of the sole reasons you're on this roster. Granted, if they were completely healthy, he probably wouldn't be playing at all. But still, you have to make yourself a threat. LeBron is such a crazy player that you think the idea of going under on a screen like this makes sense. Obviously PJ decides to fight under, because again, LeBron is a tank. If he wants to get to the basket, he's just going to get to the basket. But right here, he goes completely, completely under. And though his recovery wasn't too bad, LeBron didn't need that much space or doesn't need that much space to get that shot up and in. This is the point I'm pulling PJ at the game. Now this is not PJ Tucker's fault. I don't want to make it seem like I'm blaming PJ because Bron just pulled up and hit a ridiculous shot, right? That's not PJ Tucker's fault. But that is the moment of time. I'm like, you know what PJ, you know what PJ? This right here is really good anticipation by Norma Powell. They're sending the help for Terrence Mann with Mason Plumlee. LeBron just sees Mason Plumlee coming around. He say, hey, that's a bucket for Jackson. Jackson's telling them, throw it up. That's probably the better way LeBron opts to not do that, but throw a bounce pass. And Norma Powell playing both gets in and causes that turnover. But it can't capitalize because Mason Plumlee thinks he's yokin' to something and gets picked from behind. And this ends in a three for D'Angelo Russell. Back to a single digit game. And this is like, as much as the offense is amazing, this is the defensive master class by the Lakers too. Every single pick and roll with James Harden, they bringing a guy up and that's right now is Jackson Hayes, right? Because they say, Mason Plumlee's not that much of a threat as a role man to us. Maybe he is, but to us, he's not. We'd rather just try to get the ball out of James's hands, which they have done a lot. Now, this right here, they're like, Mason, make a plate. Torian Prince is playing both. Are you gonna hit Norma Powell for a three? Or do you see Terrence Mann cutting? And everybody sees Terrence Mann cutting. In the past, it's lofty and boom, turnover, Torian Prince with the steal. And well, this was LeBron James fourth quarter takeover. So of course, it ain't gonna be just all three. Smaller defender, get to my spot, take the bump, create space, high off glass. And just like that, it's a five point game. Another great defensive possession from the Lakers. Now this ends in a Clippers basket off a loose ball, but I do wanna highlight how good they defended in this fourth quarter. Again, as much as it was in LeBron James takeover, they also had to prevent the other team from scoring. And again, they scored on this, so Norma Powell hits a good shot. But look at this defense right here. Boom, they send two. Here's James Tarantino trying to get it to Mace. Then you see Bron pop in, the Kawhi Linn instead of Recover. And then he finds the open man. And again, a good shot from Norma Powell. But Kawhi Linn in a right place, right time. Everything else the Lakers did was perfect. Like you're not even mad at that if you're Darwin hand because you played great defense. Even though LeBron was kind of upset by his body language, but it's all right. Because it's just three points and he could get them right back, I guess. And he does. That's a bad man. Now he's 40 points away from 40,000. This is what I love. Kawhi Linn and LeBron James guard each other in the fourth quarters. Like, you know, I always say this, just because two players are the best players in the team and they seem to play the same position. We don't really get those star versus star matchups that much. So we got some of it last night and that was amazing. And this possession, Kawhi Linn end up getting the best of Bron. That's a tough finish. It probably should have been an and one, if you ask me. But Bron going right back at him. So it was just a good matchup that I enjoyed. This is them trusting each other. Char the Terrence Mann gets it. Now you trust Terrence Mann to make the decision a lot more than Mason Plumlee. And you see the hell from Austin Reeves. D'Angelo Russo, who's behind him. Notice this, his teammates are here. You also notice as Anthony Davis under the better rip attacks of basketball is there. Only three seconds to go. So he trusts his teammates to pick that up and D'Angelo Russo goes corner to prevent that as an avenue. And it causes a tough looking shot. And look at the old man, they Kawhi. Denied, denied, denied. That's all Kawhi's leg too. Whoo wee! Now with four minutes to go, it's a zero, zero game. It's just out of your opponent from here. Again, they were down by 20 not too long ago. Both teams are hunting matchups, right? Both teams are trying to get the worst defender on the ball handler. And that time for them, it's like getting D'Angelo Russo into the many actions. For the Lakers, it was getting Daniel Tice in as many actions as possible because they saw them as the weakest defender. Here he goes. There's Anthony Davis green. And the one thing I can complain about a lot when it comes to this type of stuff is there are certain players in NBA like Kawhi later, he did not fight through that or whatever whatsoever. They as a team, or is it Kawhi or is it Tyrone Lu were completely okay with Daniel Tice being the guy guarding LeBron down the stretch here? Cause there was no resistance, right? The screen comes and Kawhi later concedes and say, hey, all right, now I'm guarding Anthony Davis. Here's the screen, no fight. It's like, and that's just a scheme that they're running, which is okay. If that's what it is, that's what it is. But if you're LeBron and you're the Lakers, you lick your lips at this matchup. There's the two, there's the flash. Rui misses this one if I'm not mistaken. Offensive board. And I think he also, he gets it back if I remember correctly. Playing in space. James Harden is playing help on that cut. Bronn ends up finding them. And then Rui hits the second time around. Yep, that's how it played out. So I just don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I always want to see my best defenders kind of fight through to try to prevent the switch, especially if we're talking Daniel Tice on LeBron James. Ball goes to Kawhi here 12 seconds ago. You see Norman Powell coming off the double. Austin Reeves fights through here. There's no switch, there's no switch. Austin, you get back. And then Austin for five seconds said, hey, this is my time to shine. Norm, I don't care what you're doing, you're not even gonna get a shot up, baby. Here we go again. There's a screen from Anthony. And it's just what it is. Now it's Bronn versus Tice. There's a flash again from D'Angelo Russell. And Rui ends up finishing the play too. So it's happening over and over. It's a switch, there's a flash to the middle of the paint. D'Angelo Russell, a good creator slash decision maker and he made the right decision back to back possession. And this right here is my favorite moment of the game. I'm a sucker for a no-dip three. D'Angelo Russell is becoming one of the better no-dip three point shooters in all of basketball. It is the thing that I enjoy the most currently in basketball, a no-dip three. And this is not just any ordinary no-dip three. This is a huge three to put them up by six points with a minute to go. Let's see it one more time. If you don't know what a no-dip three is, it's just like no matter where you catch it, that's where you release it. Usually a person brings it down to their core, you do their jump shot routine. D'Angelo Russell has hit a lot of these this season and a lot of them end up being in these clutch scenarios. So shout out to D'Angelo, man, because that trademarked stuff could've got to him and it didn't. And I saw a lot of conversations about what happened at the end of the timeout, down by two, the Clippers with ball nine seconds ago. Kawhi Leonard goes immediately. I'm not mad at that shot. It missed. I thought Bronn played good defense for sure, but that is a shot we've seen Kawhi Leonard make 100 times. Like there's nothing too crazy about the shot. It's get him with a half full of save going towards the basket. He gets that, there's opposition error, he fades a little bit, but that fading is a shot that we've seen him make multiple times in this game alone. So I don't hate the last shot, but they lost. And that was the comeback for the LA Lakers, man. That was the comeback for the LA Lakers all in one period. If you enjoyed the video, leave it a like. And that would go a very long way.
