| 0:38.8 | We know that LeBron and Anthony Davis are game time decisions tonight in their game |
| 0:45.7 | against the Clippers. |
| 0:46.7 | But Coach Darvin Ham had an interesting statement before the game. |
| 0:51.1 | I'm going to let Rob G fill us in. |
| 0:53.4 | Yeah, according to Fox Sports Radio NBA insider, a friend of the show, Mark Medina, |
| 0:57.0 | who's there to cover tonight's game between the Clippers and the Lakers. |
| 0:59.8 | They said nobody's playing? Oh, I'm sorry. No. So this is what Darvinham said about |
| 1:04.4 | LeBron James and Anthony Davis specifically. He said that both players have the power to dictate whether they play or not, before adding that it's, quote, a group decision among medical and coaching staff that determines whether or not they play. |

This game is important to us. I think he put it on LeBron and AD. That's what it sounds like. They can play if they really want to, but we're just telling them that they shouldn't play. And if they really want to play and going out there and play, well, they should play. Just mind-bock, because, Chris, we already know. Players have that power. You can't tell LeBroni can't play. Right. You can't. I don't care what, this is not good for the organization. No. If LeBron says I'm playing tonight, are they going to stop them? |
| 2:20.5 | If Steph wants to play, are they going to stop? |
| 2:22.5 | No. |
| 2:23.1 | They won't. |
| 2:23.7 | They won't and they can't. |
| 2:25.3 | So why not play? |
| 2:27.4 | Right. |
