For resting in this game? No. It's the second night of a back to back and their 3rd game in 4 nights. Teams with postseason aspirations rest players in this position all the time.


OHHHHHH Poor $20 million A year babies...


This generation of ALL pro athletes is just sickening.............

I thought you said you liked Tim Duncan.

Pop did this with Timmy all the time.

Make up your mind.

If you want to sit out do it during a home game. Don't push fans who paid to see you during your one trip to their city.

So punish your own fans?

That doesn't make sense.

Players are 3x more likely to get injured on the 2nd night of a back to back.

Tonight's game is a back to back. Do you blame CLE if they sit Lebron to avoid risking 3x the likelihood of injury for a meaningless regular season game? Why?

They at least get 40 other chances to see them. OKC will not get one.

Not all of them.

I'm sure there are hard working CLE fans who save up to get their 2 kids to a home game for the 1st time ever, but you want CLE to not care about that guy so they can care more about fans of another team. I don't follow the logic.

Lebron falls down and misses the break away dunk and then immediately gets up and charges the ref bitching that he was fouled....replay shows he was never touched

If PJ can get to the scaffold everyday with a shitebag, it shouldn't be too much for these multimillion dollar CRYBABIES to play 3/4s!!!!

Correction, it's road back to backs, but it's 3.5x more likely to be injured.


Study: NBA players injured 3.5x more often on road back-to-backs than at home



So again, why in the world would CLE periodically sit him at home and not take advantage of avoiding that big injury risk in road games...meaningless road games?

The raw numbers matter though. Does it increase from 1 in a million to 3.5 in a million, or is it from 1 in 10 to 3.5 in 10.

There is a big difference there. Just saying 3.5 x more likely without more context doesn't provide enough information.
