FS1 Analyst Skip Bayless mocks LeBron James and the Lakers, as the Memphis Grizzlies beat them without Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks

The Los Angeles Lakers made their way to Memphis tonight, to take on the Grizzlies. There weren’t many expectations for tonight from the Grizzlies, playing without Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks. However, the Grizzlies showed us how gritty and tough they are, and beat the 2020 NBA Champions 108-95.
After beating the Celtics at home, the Lakers rode in with high confidence. However, they couldn’t get into any rhythm. The Lakers were bothered by their 22 turnovers, most of which seemed very unnecessary. LeBron James recorded the 100th triple-double of his career. He ended the night with 22 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks.

Anthony Davis had a very empty 22 points and 8 rebounds and seemed to be zoned out tonight.
Skip Bayless mocks LeBron James and the Lakers for dropping the game against the Grizzlies
Playing a Grizzlies team without Ja and Brooks, the Lakers seemed favorites. However, they also were their worst enemies tonight. In the first quarter, LeBron James dunked the ball on a fast-break, and then pulled out the mean mug smirk.

This did not sit right with Skip Bayless, as the Lakers went on to lose the game. Skip, just like always, had a lot of thoughts about the game.
Mid 1st quarter, LeBron dunked and gave it the curled-lip snarl. Really, King, against the short-handed Griz playing back-to-back??? Then … THAT happened.

He couldn’t believe what had just happened, and cannot seem to contain himself.
I CAN’T BELIEVE LEBRON’S LAKERS JUST GOT SMOKED AT MEMPHIS BY A TEAM WITHOUT ITS TWO BEST PLAYERS. Will Vogel last until 2022? Will Shannon Sharpe call in sick tomorrow? I’ll sure be there at 9:30 E sharp, ready to unleash.

The Lakers’ loyals would hope that the team picks themselves up and dust the loss off. They play the Thunder tomorrow, a team they’ve dropped two games against already.
