The hosts of the most recent Inside the NBA programme sat down to talk about what the Lakers needed to do to win Game 2 as well. Shaq's situation, however, deteriorated after he trampled the depleted Grizzlies squad.
Shaquille O’Neal gave a scathing take on the Grizzlies
Shaquille O'Neal was questioned by Ernie Johnson on the likelihood of the Memphis Grizzlies winning the game without their leading scorer, Ja Morant. The legendary player for the Los Angeles Lakers also did not hold back.
WHAT WAS SHAQ's OPINION?
Shaq said, Shaq said, “It’s not about the Grizzlies, unfortunately. It’s about the Lakers. They stole game 1. Tonight’s gonna show me where their mentality is. They’ve played with a switch all year." He added “The first half of the season wasn’t going too great. Rob Pelinka made some trades. And then after the All-Star break they’ve had a nice run which put them in a position to play the Grizzlies. They came in and played a really good Game 1. This is a must-win for them. They have to take care of business,”.
