Why? We're 9 games behind the Hawks. We aren't getting the #1 seed. If Lebron isn't feeling 100% and wants to sit the 2nd night of a back to back I couldn't care less.

Lol are you at the game or something?

Absolutely 0 wrong with Lebron taking a game off here and there. It's the regular season and we are almost second in the conference.

The Sportscenter twitter account didn't mention anything about his back, it just said rest. If he's hurting that's fine, if it's just rest, he can take a game or two when Kyrie is back.

Absolutely stupid to rest LeBron. Fuck that. You play to win the damn game. Dellavadova now 4-17 from the field.

It would've made more sense to sit LeBron against the Rockets. Would've given him 3 days rest, instead of two, assuming he plans on playing Sunday.

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make the trip to Houston and stays home until Tuesday.

Rest LeBron for the rest of the regular season. Regular games don't count. Do they?

Shouldn't be resting period. He makes about $600,000 per game. He's 30 years old....not 40.

Once again, when did this happen?

Indeed. I think it's obvious that talent-wise, the Cavs are capable of winning the East, regardless of which three teams they play in the East playoffs. The key will be health, as of their three main guys, two have injury histories and LBJ is a 30-year-old who has played a lot of games over his career. If giving him nights off on the second day of back-to-backs, especially in situations where he'd have to really carry the load if he played due to one of the other two being out, helps him be fresh for the postseason, then who cares if the team loses here and there? Not like you have to be a regular season juggernaut all year long to make the playoffs or even get highly seeded in the East.

So, of course, FW is all indignant he didn't play against Indiana. And seems to think that because he's a highly-paid star, he should be out there every night no matter what. At least with Sleeper's posts, you can at least get the idea he is self aware and just providing HOT TAKES daily for the lulz. Here...lol...these are the legit hot takes. Loud, emphatic and so lacking in perspective it makes your head spin to even try comprehending them.

I don't think people realize how unimportant a regular season game vs Indiana is.

And they're also undervaluing how important rest is for players before the playoffs roll around.

Who cares that Lebron rested? The reality is, the Cavs are the 2 seed in the conference because they sure as shit are better than Toronto and will catch them no problem. We aren't going to catch the Hawks even though we will sweep them or beat them in 5 games. Book it, bank it, rest it.

This tendency of resting the superstars will keep me from ever going to a game. I completely understand it but I'd be furious if I paid a couple hundred to go watch.

Then the NBA should consider shortening the season.

Yeah.....72-76 would suffice everything but I can't think of the last time anything in sports scheduling that has been lessened. Everything is more teams in the playoffs and more games.

I pay to watch the team. A certain player being there is just a bonus.
