    obviously not a MD/PT, but watching him loft soft layups on one foot wasn't inspiring confidence, lol.

    With an oblique strain, it's a pain referral thing - I've had a few from going full power through rotational movements. After a few weeks, they don't get worse, but the pain is odd, it's a same (or similar) amount of pain on low and slow movements as higher more dynamic movements. So if Reaves can move freely at the beginning of a warmup, it's a fairly good sign that he can take the pain of more dynamic movements - or that he is free of pain.

    Either way, he is playing this week.

    I assume Luka is on track for next week.

    Can he play just in the final clutch moments( if it comes to this) of next game so we don’t have to watch the LeBron iso game?
    Please!!!!!!!!

    Reaves comes back game 4 to lower the team's minutes. I anticipate him to get two games before the second round to shake off a bit of rust which is good news.

    I hope he can play like 20 minutes next game as well to shake off the rust.

    Just eat Jake's minutes and pull a few minutes from each Marcus and Luke. That'll get him in the low 20s. Don't want him getting more than that his first game back.

    Focus on knocking off some of the rust to get ready for round 2.

    Jake needs to play to lower Lebron's minutes. I expect Jake to play more next game not less to save Lebron.

    this. Very much so.

    i still maintain that we put Jake in all sorts of awkward positions including ISO on reed and such. It should be rui so you swing until you get that. Rui even being dummy knows to punish smalls. Jake doesn’t.

    of course on those particular sequences Bron held the ball too long so we rushed
