The Lakers' Pivotal Fourth Quarter
00:00:05
Speaker
I am watching the Lakers game. They are playing the Pacers. We are in the fourth quarter. This has been the most exciting time for Laker basketball right in the fourth quarter. We're usually doing some kind of magic right now.
LeBron Nears Scoring Title
00:00:19
Speaker
Rui Hachimura is lit. Okay. He is at the free throw line and getting us some extra looks. The Lakers are only down by eight points and it's totally possible that we can win. It is totally possible that we can win. LeBron is coming back into the game.
00:00:35
Speaker
Everybody is excited about LeBron breaking the all-time scoring title. It's not going to happen tonight, but it's getting close to happening.
Free Throw Struggles Begin
00:00:45
Speaker
Hachi Moro was such a good pickup. I had no idea who he was until this happened, but I can tell you right now, he can't shoot no free throws. He can't shoot no free throws. He done missed so many free throws.
00:00:55
Speaker
that I've seen, but the Lakers are 16 for 19 on free throws today, so it ain't too bad, but Rui, he gotta get that free throw percentage together. Oh! Paces, come on, Thomas. Man, Russ attacking the... Russ know he become a different player in the fourth quarter, I promise you. Russell Westbrook in the fourth quarter is like Jordan. I am just...
00:01:14
Speaker
So excited that the Lakers are playing better. Russ missed the free throw. Rui missed the free throw. That's two points. We down by eight with nine minutes left. This is what I'm saying. These free throws and these offensive and defensive rebounds is really where we need to pick it up.
00:01:31
Speaker
Why are they taking after all the big people right now? I don't understand why they got this small line up in, but Hachimora is bigger, but Thomas Bryant needs to be on the floor. Because now you got
Defensive Adjustments
00:01:42
Speaker
LeBron Garden, the largest guy on the court. It's like, we need him to LeBron right now. Don't split the man. Swing. That's a three. Defensive breakdown. Luckily, the Pacers ain't too, too well tonight.
00:01:53
Speaker
LeBron code, he code. Three people guarding him. He still got through the lane, very calmly. Leggers on an eight and old scoring run right now. We are only down by six points. This is what I be saying. All of a sudden, damn, just hit, he just hit a three. Now it's now.
00:02:09
Speaker
You gotta play defense. Man, 9 point game with 8 minutes to play. It's like the most exciting stuff for all the Lakers games happen at the- Westbrook is almost indestructible. My man be hitting the ground, ground. 7.57 remaining. Lakers in the bonus. We could totally take this game, but we gotta make smart plays and stop giving away offensive and defensive rebounds. We need Russ to hit these free throws.
00:02:34
Speaker
There we go. It's only seven minutes left in this game, but I know for sure it's going to be like 30 minutes of actual time. Here we go. Seven point lead. Yeah. The Pacers can shoot. You need to. Luckily, that was a hard shot. That looked like it was going to make a hot cheek more. Get the ball from him. Come on, Pat. Seven seconds left. Come on, shooter. Cook him. He got a foul. He got a foul. That we got like five different chances to get the ball back on now. That was nice.
00:03:03
Speaker
I thought for sure we was going to hit that little that little mirror range jumper, but I think it was on a weird angle. Ninety five one on one.
00:03:11
Speaker
Anthony Davis coming back in, so we're getting some
Key Strategies and Plays
00:03:13
Speaker
bigs. This is better. I'm feeling better because if all else fails, LeBron and Anthony Davis can do a high screen pick and roll and make a play every single time. You can get a foul. They gonna foul him. Hopefully the refs call it. But if LeBron could take the ball, Anthony Davis get the screen roll. That's the play. Unstoppable.
00:03:35
Speaker
he huge who gonna stop him when he come going through that lane who gonna stop him nobody that's what i thought so i'm excited for this hopefully we can pull out this win this last minute win with the pacers because every game counts right now y'all every game counts also just moved to a new apartment so i'll be going live more often on youtube i took the green screen down because that was kind of like not that um
00:04:01
Speaker
informal i feel like it really couldn't get a chance a little green i'll let me make sure the microphone is i bet that shit was not trying to get it in a better way
00:04:10
Speaker
That probably was hella loud, but it's because these clothes are so soft.
Unrelated Tangents
00:04:15
Speaker
My mic don't even want to stay on the shirt. I have no idea what's for dinner or anything like that. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, come back, come back, come back. I got this new gimbal, so I'm playing around with this too. Why would I just try to show my whole apartment like that?
00:04:32
Speaker
I didn't, I didn't need for you to do that. I really didn't need for you to do that. I should have made me some kind of smooth lesson. My legs feel like I'm giving y'all a peep show with my legs. Look at my doggy. Hey doggy. He's so sleepy. You don't care about the Lakers games. Tell him I care about the burger. Stop looking.
00:04:48
Speaker
Look at Austin Reeves. I miss him. You ever just look at a player sitting on the sidelines injured? Like, please just put your clothes on and get in the game. Put your clothes on and get in the game. See? Pick and roll. Anthony Davis, they playing all the replays. I missed a little bit of the game because I was on the phone, of course, running my mouth, but y'all knew that.
00:05:06
Speaker
Anthony Davis got 25 points, 11 rebounds. Double double, let's do it. Didn't intruder man, he is really a battle cat. He's not about to go out without a fight. He is literally not about to go down without a fight. All right, the Lakers are on the 12 and three run in the last four minutes and 15 seconds.
00:05:23
Speaker
96 to 101. The Pacers are winning. You got to stop letting them shoot them long.
Free Throw Concerns Persist
00:05:27
Speaker
Three. Rui been getting mad. He been getting busy. He been playing a lot of minutes. I like his game so far, but he got to hit free throws. That's my only grieving. He shot a three. Nine points. Nine points. And LeBron had that rebound in his hand. I know he pissed. Nine points.
00:05:42
Speaker
Hopefully the Lakers can pull this off in the next six minutes and 28 seconds. I told y'all this was about to be a 30-minute video. I started this dang-on thing when it was like 11 minutes, 11 and a quarter. Crazy. Carl's Jr. be for real. Y'all are advertising many tacos and Red Bull together in a meal. They trying. You can't be for real. Many tacos, Red Bull, and a juice for adults.
00:06:10
Speaker
Be for real. Be for real, Carl's Jones. Absolutely not. There would be no way I would be eating mini tacos in Red Bull. Waiting through these commercials. Commercials. I don't even know who held the timeout, who called the timeout. I should bring my computer over here so I can look at Twitter. Even though looking at the commercials too be a whole interesting, different kind of journey. It's like, what the hell is on TV? Because I live right down the street from crypto, so I have to watch the games on Spectrum. They're not on League Pass or nothing like that for me. Oh, they got classic.
00:06:40
Speaker
as they doing this halfway through the CSA out of market games who cares about that see they they've been putting LeBron games on national tv because he about to break the record look at this
00:06:50
Speaker
Look at his little gray hairs, man. He old, but he's still out here. I mean, he's literally got another five. At least another five in him, LeBron. And really that fifth one, he could have a hell of a season on the go out. LeBron Cole. That's what I'm saying. That play right there. Smart Cole calculated. They thought it was Anthony Davis. They actually played.
00:07:10
Speaker
He got a 21.5 rebound. LeBron got a foot injury, ain't no win. Hell, he was about to try to block that ball. I wouldn't. I need to play the rest of the season. Try to shoot her with AD in the paint. That's what I'm saying. That screen and roll with Anthony Davis in the game is the key.
00:07:27
Speaker
This is the cheat code. If I had my 2K controller in my hand, that would be the cheat code. 27 points, Anthony Davis. He's 11 for 23 on field goals. He was out of bounds. Thank you. Crazy. Shooter didn't even look. That was the code as nasty as no look path. Get the ball from Patrick Beverly. Do not let him inbound it. As we get closer to that trade deadline, I really hope they found somewhere else for him to go.
00:07:51
Speaker
Yeah. If the Lakers can
The Pressure of Free Throws
00:07:53
Speaker
consistently hit they free throws at the end of this game, we could win. We've already had so many more opportunities. The Lakers are in the bonus. They are fouling every shot damn near. Come on. Just fake it. Look, look, pump fake. Make him slap your arm around a little bit. Boom. Come on. Then intruder, man, he four for eight. I know he better not miss one of these free throws. We can't afford it. See, right. Me talking shit that made him miss the free throw.
00:08:20
Speaker
The Lakers are 20 for 20. Okay, let me pipe down because they look like they missed six in this damn quarter alone. He missed both free throws. The Lakers gonna lose because of free throws. This is nuts. Talk about a damn pass. LeBron to Anthony Davis in the paint. Come on, man. Assist King. Just gonna let Anthony Davis score. He big. He ain't gotta move around as much. You got a foot injury. You know what I mean?
00:08:48
Speaker
Miles Turner just shot an airball for all the airballs that you've ever airballed. Damn, that looked like a shot that was going to make it. I thought Anthony Davis could show, for sure could have done that. The hell happened? That was a nice ass play though, Russ. Come on.
00:09:05
Speaker
Bomb! Patrick Beverly just hit a three. One point game. Patrick Beverly, this is what I be saying. Patrick giveth, Patrick taketh away. He just got hit a three pointer, just made a foul, thought he had a steal, he being dramatic now. The Lakers is challenging this. You see people, they don't look like they talking to me. His energy is too wild.
00:09:27
Speaker
He actually touched Patrick Beverly. That might be a good challenge. Darva Ham might win
Game Intensity and Clutch Moments
00:09:33
Speaker
this. The Lakers, man, we might pull this out. Fun times. Oh, relax. Everybody talk about how the NBA is so theatrical. You know, they talk about LeBron. Yeah, the Lakers are persistent, man. They're really trying to. Let's see. The Lakers are celebrate. Yeah. What is happening with this challenge? Your low key. The NBA challenges be the Super Bowl or the NBA that you just be watching to see the challenges and see like your
00:09:59
Speaker
Yeah, Miles Turner blocked the fuck out that ball. Yeah, Miles Turner blocked the hell out of that ball. We got three minutes, three minutes left. This is what I'm saying, the Lakers, this is why I turned the camera on right at, hold on, let me just write, because this is crazy. This is why I turned the camera on right at the fourth quarter, because the Lakers always will have you.
00:10:21
Speaker
The Lakers will always have you on a nail biter, man. For sure. It is crazy. It doesn't matter how many games we play. The fourth quarter is always the most exciting time to be a Laker fan. Miracles start to happen.
00:10:36
Speaker
All of a sudden everybody is playing better than they've ever played. This is how the NBA is. There's a challenge on a call and now all of a sudden we in a one point difference. This is wonderful, man. What a great game to be watching. Let me look and see what Twitter is saying. I'm gonna back y'all. Back it up. 106, 105. Nine, it's two minutes and 42 seconds left. He missed. LeBlanc for the league!
00:11:02
Speaker
Oh man, the legacy's cold. I mean, not, I mean, now the Pacers is like about to turn it up. He hit the three. The Pacers up by one. That's what I'm saying, man. It's fourth quarters when people start to turn it up. Cause Patrick Beverly could have made that shot. This is like three possession game, man. LeBron, the only person they get to argue with referees like this. Every time he was sitting there talking to him, I was like, yeah, they faking. But LeBron faked a lot too. So it's like, here we are.
00:11:32
Speaker
The Lakers is not going down on these rebounds. My heart is racing. Come on, Bron. LeBron, for all the people who's commenting, you hear that? This is LeBron's first free throw of the night. He hit his free throw. Gang, gang. Come on. The Lakers are 7 for 13 on free throws this quarter.
00:11:52
Speaker
The Pacers haven't shot once. It's tied. LeBron for the lead. He's the king. Come on. Hold the team down. Purge. One minute left. 12 seconds left on the clock for the Pacers. He left them open. That was a defensive breakdown. Russ got caught on the screen. Don't do no... Nobody's fighting for it.
00:12:15
Speaker
Anthony Davis the Lakers up by one don't foul Patrick Beverly beat it don't do nothing dumb roll to the rim weak side Anthony Davis with the block hold the ball for 14 seconds yes
00:12:31
Speaker
The Lakers about to win this. Anthony Davis is five minutes, 10 seconds on the clock. Is this a file? What do you say to him? I want to hear what Anthony Davis said to him. Patrick Beverly misses a free.
00:12:46
Speaker
Trade him. Trade him. We have 14 seconds left, but he can't hit two free throws, y'all. Patrick Beverly misses the fucking free throw. The Lakers lead by one with eight seconds, and Patrick Beverly misses both of the free throws. If you have never needed a reason to trade Patrick Beverly, this is the divine sign that we've been waiting on. This is literally one of the most exciting times in basketball.
00:13:15
Speaker
I have to just type and text on Twitter in my free time and shit because I'm
Narrow Victory Sealed
00:13:19
Speaker
telling you. Why would Patrick Beverly miss those two free throws? The Lakers have done everything that they have needed to do to secure this win in the last final seconds of the game and there is no way in fact that we will make it to the playoffs if we can't hit no free throws. I thought they was just showing something that happened on the break. Evidently this is what happened the last time the Pacers played the Lakers. It got down to the same stuff.
00:13:42
Speaker
Shut up, commentators. If Patrick Beverly had to hit them fucking two shots, I thought Patrick Beverly just made them have to shoot free throws. But I've seen they had a foul to give, so he ran two seconds off the clock. I get it.
00:13:57
Speaker
No fouls. Patrick Beverly definitely push him out of bounds. The Lakers win it. The Lakers win it. Period. Period. The Lakers win it. They hold on by one. Every game matters. And that is the moral of the story. Anthony Davis come up with a big win. Patrick Beverly missed both them free throws, but play some pretty solid defense to lock it down.
00:14:23
Speaker
They did trap him in the corner. That was an awful thing. That was an awful thing, but he almost had the shot. Bang, bang, Lakers win. And what was so crazy was that shot was way too close. Don't you love playing these reindeer games and being a Lakers fan? All right, Laker Nation, we win. Have a good night.
