Hopefully, Jerami and Grant are still good to go.

 

[OR-84]

Hopefully, Jerami and Grant are still good to go.

Like both of his Egos? I hope so too. If just one of them could get 1 rebound each that would be more than their average.

 

[Domihatin]

I wonder if Jrue and Holiday will play?

 

[wizenheimer]

Hopefully, Jerami and Grant are still good to go.

I wonder when both Deni and Avdija will play

 

[blazerfan11]

I wonder if Jrue and Holiday will play?

I will Grant that Deni is on a Holiday for today's game.

 

[andalusian]

I will Grant that Deni is on a Holiday for today's game.

Love (not Kevin) it.

 

[wizenheimer]

I will Grant that Deni is on a Holiday for today's game.

that's way toumani puns

 

[Domihatin]

I will Grant that Deni is on a Holiday for today's game.

Very clever!

 

[Chris Craig]

Hopefully, Jerami and Grant are still good to go.

Ha I meant Jerami and Jrue. Funny

 

[Chris Craig]

Like both of his Egos? I hope so too. If just one of them could get 1 rebound each that would be more than their average.

I prefer one over the other

 

[Domihatin]

It Luka like Doncic won't play today. 1000 lols for the people who pay a ton extra for this game to see him and then he's not playing. Doh! I was one of those guys! But I paid to see us beat Sore Groin Boy.

 

[Domihatin]

SGB: Sore Groin Boy
SGA: Surely Gonna Bait

 

[B-Roy]

No Deni or Luka tonight.

 

[blazerfan11]

I prefer one over the other

If there's only one, there may be a fight over it...

 

[blazerfan11]

Nice defense by the Fakers in their last game.
