“I Fear For LeBron James’ Lakers Tonight”: Skip Bayless Issues Warning For The King Ahead of Game 4 Against the Grizzlies

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are set to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies in Game Four of the Western Conference playoffs. The game will be at the Crypto.com Arena on Monday night, and the Grizzlies will be looking to even the series at 2-2.

There has been drama, injuries, ejections, and a high level of competition in the first three games of the series. Game 4 is expected to be no less, and Memphis will be hoping for a better start than Game Three.

The Grizzlies went down by almost 30 points in the first quarter for Game Three and had to claw their way back but eventually lost by 10 points. Besides Ja Morant, no other Grizzlies player showed up on the court. To make matters worse, Dillion Brooks got himself ejected for a flagrant foul on LeBron.

The co-host of the show ‘Undisputed with Skip and Shannon’ – Skip Bayless is expecting the Memphis team to regain home-court advantage by beating the Lakers tonight. Skip has been critical of James his entire career and tweeted the following before the game:

“I fear for the LeBron’s Lakers tonight.”

After a dismal start to Game 3, Ja Morant and his troops are expected to come out with high energy in the upcoming game. Desmond Bane, the best shooter on the team, has had a tough time seeing the ball go into the hoop and will be itching to make his mark in the series.

LeBron James, on the other hand, will be looking to take a 3-1 series lead heading back to Memphis. The Lakers have looked solid on both ends of the court and will need that production to carry in tonight’s game. James, however, has not been shooting the ball well from the perimeter at 20% and will need to correct that as the series progresses.

How has the series fared so far?

The first-round matchup between the two teams began with the Lakers winning Game One in Memphis. With a stellar performance from Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves, the Lakers beat the Grizzlies who saw their superstar Morant leave the game with a wrist injury.

With Ja unavailable for Game Two, it was a golden opportunity for the LA team to take a 2-0 lead heading back home. However, the Grizzlies showed a lot of grit and toughness as a team to overcome their opponents and won the game by 10 points.

Game Three was a blowout right from the jump, with the Lakers storming to a 35-9 opening quarter. The game was pretty much over in the first few minutes, and despite a valiant effort by Morant, it was an obstacle too difficult to overcome.
