A few years ago the Lakers were in an elimination game and AD had a bad groin injury but it wasn’t torn or severely injured and sat out the next 2 games. The media was giving him shit for a few days so he decided to give it a go in Game 6 when the lakers were down 3-2. He reinjured it badly 5 minutes into the game and the lakers lost and ended their season.
I personally respect AD for giving it a try in an elimination game. I know he made it worse for himself but without him the Lakers lose anyways. He also had 3-4 months to fully rehab and get back healthy for the start of next season, it’s not like he risked reinjury in the middle of January when you have 50 games left.
A lot of people take the opposite stance and say that AD should have never played in that game and the media and his coaching staff pressured him into playing. I think some of that is happening to OG for game 7 with the pressure and with his impending free agency. Hopefully it works out and OG can make the right health conscious decision.

Both guys will dress and both will give it a go. Will be a huge boost for the team

I think they both play. Org goal is to get to the ECF and if OG and Hart need to be out after that, fine. Win tomorrow.

It will be legendary if both end up playing and we take game 7.

Honestly we only need 20 minutes from each of em anything would make a big difference

Even if they play 10 minutes each, that might be enough to galvanize the crowd and the remaining guys.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Is it weird that I’m worried about these dudes? They’re really gonna try and kill themselves for this.
It was all a smokescreen.. OG, Randal, Mitch, Hart walk out the tunnel laughing
I doubt OG plays though
What’s the downside?
He plays, gives us what he can, and we lose, season over.
He plays, gives us what he can, and we win, we go play the Celtics with zero expectations whether OG is available or not.
👀
pay him
Ahahahahahahah all these memes is literally me
I have been shooting the absolute piss out of the ball in my weekend runs over the past three weeks.
Sometimes you wake up and just realize the team needs you.
This way, OG can come back for g1 of the ECF.
Can someone take my abdominal muscles and hamstring and give to Hart and OG!?!?
Game 7 is ours!!!

I believe
At least they’re giving it a chance.
