| Morant gonna need a dozen cortisone injections in that hand to be functional. If he plays, he will be severely limited for several weeks at least. He may have escaped Broken bones and tears, but it still looked like brutal injury. |

Ja's outside jumper was already inconsistent. With a busted hand, let him stroke the three ball all he wants while our defenders stay at home on their man. On his drives, shade him towards interior big-man help and live with the results. |

| If Ja plays it’ll probably be like when Jameer Nelson came back for the finals with the Magic and couldn’t do anything. |

I watched the video and saw the body language in Ja's post-game interview. He hurting. If he plays I don't think he'll be much of a threat. If he plays I hope a Laker doesn't intentionally hard foul his wrist.

He was super sad. That made me sad for him. |

| If the Lakers win tomorrow against that desperate Grizzlies team who will make their final do or die push, they will have shown me they have the talent, hunger and unity to beat anyone in the NBA. A victory tomorrow, with or without Ja, will be massively telling. Considering the Lebron/AD teams have the best habit amongst all the Laker title teams of not playing with their food, I expect them to show me a similar performance to Game 1 |

We haven’t won anything yet. Let’s hope the Lakers can stay consistent. |

Lebron usually plays better as the series goes on and he figures out the schemes, I bet he looks sharp and goes for the kill. Especially with two days rest.
Unless his foot is really limiting we should see his best in game 2. |

| Stay close to Bane and Kennard let JJJ get his if necessary as that's usually just a duece rather than a triple anyway. |

why? We have 0 impact on the games. Why not be cocky. There are zero repercussions if for some odd chance we lose. The only downside is the depression most feel after losing.

You know that feeling when its the first day of school and you worked at a slave plant during the summer so that you could purchase the flyest gear and a fresh pair of kicks?
That is how I feel right now.

| honestly JA playing or not is pretty irrelevant here, he will be severely limited. we were going to give him all the open shots before he even hurt himself, now with his hands hurt, he can't even do those crazy attacking the rim stuff he usually does because there will be a lot of contact on those type of plays. i can even make a case that him not playing give the Grizzles a better chance of winning. |
