Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard, Dillon Brooks, recently shared his thoughts on playing LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in a seven-game series. "I wouldn't mind playing LeBron in a 7-game series... knock him out right away in the first round," he said, citing the challenge it would pose to the Grizzlies as they make their first appearance in the playoffs. Twitter reacted with mixed feelings, but the question remains – can Brooks and the Grizzlies take down the Lakers in the first round?

As of now, the Lakers are seventh in the Western Conference standings and have won four straight games. They face possible first-round matchups against either the Sacramento Kings or the Phoenix Suns. Securing the sixth spot would mean facing the Kings, who currently have the best offensive ratings in the league. If the Lakers move up to fifth, they'll face the Suns, where fans can expect an interesting playoff record comparison between James and Durant.

Regardless of which team they face, it remains to be seen if the Lakers will be able to hold their own without stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, especially against a young and determined team like the Grizzlies.
