Oh. Lol
PRELIM INJURY REPORT
Per Buha
Anthony Davis (left ankle sprain/bone bruise), LeBron a James (left ankle peroneal tendinopathy) and Rui Hachimura (left wrist soreness) are questionable for tomorrow’s game in OKC, per the Lakers.
Jalen Hood-Schifino, Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent are probable.

On a positive note, OKC is on the tail end of a back to back.

Negative. They don't play today.

| I would be surprised if the team didn’t have there best performance since the IST tomorrow in OKC rather that translates it to a win.. I don’t know, we have guys who step up 1 game and then have a mediocre game the next so it’s hard to envision anything with this team |

As long as we beat Foston, all will be forgotten and forgiven. Don't really care much about this game.

| Telling your starting PG to come off the bench will all but kill his confidence, the FO needs him to raise his trade value, now he’s gonna act up and possibly cause drama if he doesn’t like the decision |

He went from 30m to 18m. One team wanted him. He knows exactly who he is.
We need wins not good feelings

We definitely need good vibes to get wins, DLO knows his time with the Lakers is all but coming to a end in a few weeks, we don’t to add more wound to the broken, let him scoring his 18-20pts while we are winning in the process, I could see OKC totally mopping us off the floor with Vando and Cam in the same starting line up only to cause more frustration with the team |

And even though DLO has struggled from 3 lately, replacing him on a team that is routinely outscored from 3 with a guy who has made 0 this season is a good way to win?

Prince/Vando/Reddish lineup is gross.
Also, no more players from Miami. (bleep) is cursed |

We're trying to win games. If DLo coming off the bench helps us win games, then I'm all for it. Who cares about a little hurt feeling? Confidence? We've been starting him for 1/3 of the season now and if he still hasn't built up his confidence, what makes you think he would magically regain his confidence in a few more games?

I don’t think we can go on a winning streak with a banged up Vando and Reddish in the same starting line up at the least we would need Reaves in the starting line up to give us offense, so hopefully we see Prince off the bench and Reaves in the starting line up |

How can you still be surprised by this team? They have shown us time and again what motivates them and what doesn't. They don't 'come out angry' against the next team even if they get a beat down previously, and they don't give a hoot about any so called rivalries too.
They are a team that needs a tangible motivation, such as money or being in the playoffs. They are what they are |
