Sure he did it cause of ABC thing.
Resting everyone yesterday was a pretty good indicator.

Plus they already screwed ABC once on Saturday Night.

Surprise to see the Spurs playing their guys tonight.

Pop trolling again. He started the resting thing. Now everyone else is doing it. Media and fans are bitching about it...so he stops doing it. lol

I can't wait till they take the handcuffs off of Dejounte. I'm so over seeing Parker play.

If what Lue said on Friday is true, they're going hard til they get the top seed locked in. No matter what happens tomorrow in ATL, the top seed still won't be clinched entering the Miami game on Monday. Will be shocked if they don't play their A team. Kyrie may be the one exception because of his knee injury

James has said he doesn't care and rest is more important.
Potentially the playoffs start 5 days later for the Cavs.
I'm not saying he won't play, but it's his call, not Lues.
Prob depends on health of Kyrie and how tomorrow's game goes.
If he plays a full 38-40 tomorrow, I just don't envision him trying to do it again the next day against a team as desperate as the Heat will be, plus the other Miami intangibles.

So, after watching Heat vs Raptors, Wizards the last 2 nights, who really thinks that either are that much better then the Heat?
And that's the Heat without Waiters.

I guess if people feel the Heat couldn't give the Cavs a legit fight in a series, then how could you think the other two could?

The Wizards have a player that could take a game over when needed to ( Wall ), which the other East teams lack.

But I can't see no one stopping the Cavs.

* Besides Butler and George too obv.

I thought Whiteside couldn't switch on perimeter players though? lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

I was smart to take Clipps....most took the Spurs.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wish I bet more.

Similiar to the Love play vs Curry that @WiggyRuss has spammed us with 50 times.
Difference being Whiteside is a good defender on a nightly basis.

Somebody's gonna get paid this summer.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Heat call of Whiteside block

26 first quarter points for dame

At least Kawhi is the only Spur that's playing tonight. This is around the time LaMarcus the fraud shows up anyways.

Probably didn't want to get fined again for resting starters on a nationally televised game.

Fuck you, Stern.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Stacey's pissed because the Clipps won...
