NBA hot talk
But the Big Three are there for the Lakers last night at a lively Forum at the Staples Center in Los Angeles of Anaheim.
The Lakers actually decide to show up and the oft maligned DeLa Russell goes point for point with Irving and Lebron and the Cavs pull away at the end to win rather easily.
Imagine the Patriots sitting Tom Brady for a NBC Sunday Night game.

82 = 16RaceBannon said:For the second or third week in a row that main event team sits their stars for ABC Saturday Night Basketball. So the Clips beat the Cavs by 30.

If the best they can do is sit for the main event game of the week they are fucking stupid
And Brady did sit out a NBC Game. Shout out to Rog -
Yeah it's really bad business. The Cavs should have sat their guys vs the Lakers. The schedule is collectively bargained and 82 games isn't going away because neither side wants to take less money. Coaches need to stop throwing hissy fits and sit their guys before the big TV games.

Sitting guys just doesn't sit well with me ... it's a fucking joke ... coaches should largely utilize their benches more if they are worried about mileage on their top players.
It's one thing if guys are injured ... another if it is just rest -
Resting players over the course of a long season is the norm in baseball (and soccer and other sports). Golfers don't play every tournament. I really don't understand the outrage.
It's the NBA regular season. It's all dreck anyway.

Completely disagree. Pop started it and he's arguably the GOAT. It's smart as hell.Tequilla said:Sitting guys just doesn't sit well with me ... it's a fucking joke ... coaches should largely utilize their benches more if they are worried about mileage on their top players.

I get that it's a bad look for the big TV games, and I don't blame fans for being pissed. But if it's my team doing it I'm all for it. -

I don't mind it like I used to. 82 games is too many, but that won't change because of the money.
Nobody cares about guys sitting in baseball which is a less taxing game physically. It was a TV game, but nobody actually cared about it with the tournament going on.
The Cavs will win the #1 seed in the East anyways. It's great that playing 82 was a badge of honor, but it's stupid for a team's long term goals. -
What a bunch of drippy cunted fag wusses
When RACE was young he played 27 sports with 94 game seasons, all barefoot, uphill in the snow, limping on a broken leg while a wolf chewed on his femur - and he did it for love of the game

I'm fine with teams resting their players at home. On the road, you owe it to the fans who only get to see you in person once per season.
