Thunder vs. Lakers Injury Report

Thunder: Ajay Mitchell: Out (Toe), Nikola Topic: Out For Season (Acl), Ousmane Dieng: Day-To-Day (Calf), Alex Ducas: Day-To-Day (Quadricep), Isaiah Joe: Day-To-Day (Knee), Jaylin Williams: Day-To-Day (Ankle)

Lakers: Maximilian Kleber: Out (Foot), Rui Hachimura: Day-To-Day (Knee), Bronny James: Day-To-Day (Illness)

Slims Keys to the game

* Get out to a hot start early, this OKC team Isn't to be messed with, also win the 3rd quarters
* limit 2nd chance points
* Defense and also keep SGA under 30 points

This Isn't exactly back to back, day or 2 rest Inbetween but figured I'd give you all 2 options In the poll 1 for both games.

I won't be watching as for me It's starting 5:30am and i'll be leaving for work then.

Let's Go Lakers!

He came back too early IMO

I'd love to see Rui for John Collins trade In offseason, Rui better defender sure, but Collins more athletic better catching lobs, more consistent then Rui.

Utah fans seem the trade could work If 1 or 2 SRP's would be involved.

Let’s go. I trust our coaching staff to have a good game plan. They’re total rockstars when it comes to scouting but the OKC team defense is tough. If we get one of two games, I’ll be thrilled.

I don't care if they are/or people will say that okc was not revealing anything to us as they near playoffs to let us figure them out or anything, I don't believe in that, it's highly overrated thought process, we beat them every single game we have a chance.

26 point lead going into 4th.


Not garbage time
We have to not play with time trying to run it down. It never works. Lakers has to come out same intensity and pretend it's a tie game.

Everyone on general board saying okc let us win and that they didn't put the foot on the pedal.

Makes a little sense I suppose. Help us secure 3rd seed so they don't let us get into their bracket.

But if that's true, why not just whack us today; what difference does it make if we're in their bracket if they can beat us if they choose?
