This game is especially winnable because I just read Jerimiah Grant might be out due to COVID protocol

If that happens and both he and Nurkic are out, we have to get this one

Agree. Falling 2.5 behind the 12th spot starts becoming a big problem.

At some point the realities of the hole this team have buried themselves in has to create some urgency. Doesn’t it?

So many key players tonight who are new to the system and just learning to play together as a team. It's going to take a remarkable effort to win this game IMO.

But yes, we do need this win to climb out of the crater and close in on a playoff spot.

Conducting an internal debate whether the length of this post-shoot LeBron workout is a “I’m going long because I’m not playing tonight” session, or a “trying to get in rhythm for my first game in almost a week” session.

LeBron James went through an extensive individual workout post shootaround today: his playing status for tonight won’t be determined until going through another workout pregame.

Well damn, at least Portland is missing some key pieces. Bev did a great job against Dame in that last matchup. Curious what Ham does against him tonight

Gotta lockdown their backcourt in Dame and Simons, Simons torched us last game, but somehow we made a heroic comeback.

They basically don't have anyone tall. Davis should feast in this game like never before. No one there cant guard him.

I’m tired of hearing anyone saying we gotta go 16 & 10 to make play in & go .500?

What the hel[ is wrong with winning every game & going 25 & 0.

No time to dwell on bad 1 point shoulda won 6 more games.

Give me the players on the court to go hard for 48 minutes & win games by 6 or more points no matter where we play!!!

You play to WIN the game!!! We’re 11-12 deep if someone’s not pulling their weight get someone in there to do the job HAM!!!

Rob, gave you the weapons finally in 2 years (Frank didn’t have) it’s up to you!!! Basically your fault if you don’t push the right buttons!!!

No more excuses!!! 🤯

If Lebron can't play tonight, I don't see how he plays Wed - gonna improve that much in a day?

He is playing in NOP so he can justify playing the AS game.

Lame.

NO MATTER WHAT, HE SHOULD THINK TEAM instead of ego!
I already question this since his all time points goal. Yeah, he’s 38, but that’s on HAM limiting his minutes to 30 instead of contributing to his injuries!!!

No more excuses with this fire power & depth!!!

This is very important game as we are competing with Blazers for the playin. Losing this game has more impact than losing to other teams.

This will be a 3pt chuck fest with Dame and Simmons

They don't have Hart anymore, Grant is out, Nurkic is out, Gary Payton III is no longer there

We still have enough horses to win this game even with Lebron out

Look at their personnel we should be able to take them if Ham develops a good game plan

Glad Lebron was able to go through a longer workout to test his foot though

Hopefully minimal swelling tomorrow and he can possibly play on Wednesday.

No Nurkic or Grant... AD needs to dominate

This would be a big win, and we'd really be feeling good if we could knock off NO on Wednesday as well.

I suspect that he could play and drop 35-40 today without any issue and they’re just being cautious and trying to manage pain.
