Hey may not be allowed to say for various factors within the organization. Just like he likely knows what it means when a given player goes into the health and safety protocol but he’s not allowed to say specifics. |

Health and safety protocols are different when a player is out because no one at that point knows if that player is tested positive, answering a question in regard’s to LeBrons return from a high ankle sprain is different.

| It’s the truth, there is no secret in hiding when LeBron will return from a high ankle sprain, it’s been known for a few days that he’s already close, no one is gonna fall for Vogel’s mind games.. |

If there's no secret to when Lebron is returning, then why do you still need to know when Lebron is returning? Keeping information from your competitors in order to gain an advantage is the textbook move of every HC. If it means gaining a slight advantage in just one game, then so be it. That game could mean the difference between 5th and 6th seed.

Werd.
And Vogel is *very* tactical in that way. He doesn't even like to say what the starting lineup is until right before the game I mean please
Eyeroll was because it is eyeroll inducing when fans think they know more than the folks actually in the organization. I'm sure Lakers/Vogel/Bron have their reasons why they aren't making firm statements yet. It's fine. |

Orlando is basically handing this game to the Lakers. If they lose this one...
| Quote: | Lakers’ starters vs. Orlando:
Andre Drummond
Anthony Davis
Kyle Kuzma
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Dennis Schröder |
Schroder and KCP availability is to be commended. Those guys are throwbacks in an era where a lot of players just take the night off. We should all appreciate their willingness to play hurt.
KCP sometimes looks like he’s playing on one leg.
Schroder has been limping for 3 weeks it feels like.

no worries I didn't even notice I was in the Zone.
But I told you DS was going to play. His leg would have to physically fall off for him to miss a game |

| This is exactly the kind of game that scares me a lot more then ORL playing there regular rotation guys, everyone now expects a blow out win, but Stu Lantz seems to be the only 1 who doesn’t like these kind of games as he has always said giving a depleted team confidence can be tough for a team. |

This SHOULD be a W. Even better if the Mavs lose tonight.

DS is growing on me more and more by the day it seems like. The kind of dude Kobe would have absolutely loved to play with as well. Nice to see KCP back as well, he's no slouch in that department either!
This should be an absolute blowout and the game that gets them going on a nice little win streak to end all this play-in talk for good 
AD dominates inside while also hitting 3 bombs to put the rest of the NBA back in nightmare mode when thinking about facing us. |

| Okay, let's not get overhyped. This is a game that this team should win even without LeBron. This game is certainly not going to sending a message to the contenders because it's a game that we should win. |

Nah, this will dictate if we win the Championship or not. |
