By the way, talking about players that get in shape and need you back on the court, let's go over some injury information. Webb and Yama down for a couple weeks here. It looks like with the calf injury, Giannis Antonopo last night goes down with a groin injury that Doc Rivers said not gonna look good. Then you have John Moran out 2 weeks and then we got a video here, coach LeBron James talking about his sciatica right here. You ever had it? Anybody ever had it? Some version of it? I've had it. I've had it I had it 2 years ago. I had it 2 years ago. If you had it, then you know what the hell it's about. If you ain't never had it, people making jokes about it, I pray you never get it. And it's not, it's not fun. Did you have it during the season two years ago. A lot of superstars coached around the NBA banged up here at this time of the year. Well, let's start with LeBron because I've said it forever. You know what's undefeated. Father Time and it catches up with all of us is up for. I got a little C6, C7 in my neck. It is driving me crazy. So I understand that as you get up in age, it's gonna be an issue. So for the Lakers, it's about managing and getting LeBron to the finish line. They have to lean heavily on Luka Dodge and, and obviously Awetin Ree just play like a, let's be honest, a top 10, top 15 player in the league. San Antonio guys are so intrigued. To me because they finally got the Aaron Fox back. Well, once they got the Aaron Fox, he lost Dylan Harper. Now they lose Victor Webb and Yama, but if you really peel back the courage to look at this team healthy, when they go, you can go with a three guard lineup of Daon Fox, Stefan Castle, and Devin Bissell, and then you go front court with Harrison Barnes, Victor Webb, Yama, and then you bring Soha off the bench. Then you bring Kelvin Johnson off the bench, uh, then you bring Shane. Penny off the bench. And then you bring Dylan Harper off the bench. That is a secretly deep team in San Antonio. A team that's gonna make a run. I think what's really a note, guys, is as we get down to this last 3 games of the NBA Cup or last 2 games, I should say, before we get to that knockout round, look at the young teams, guys. Look at the young teams that have not won in the playoffs and see how they manage it. Can this be Indiana 2 years ago. They took themselves to the finals and then spearheaded that run they had to the Eastern Conference finals NBA Finals. Look at a team like Orlando that's 2-0. Uh, look at Toronto that's played really well as of late. And then in that West Group C, I think it's San Antonio, it's Portland, and there's another team that's all one and one that are all looking to make that jump. NBA Cup is good, especially for young teams that are trying to learn how to win.
