But but but extra minutes don't mean more injuries, just ask Pasta
Honestly, none of ya competed

None of ya

An Athlete gets into his grove 3qtrs in

That applies to all sports

Injuries happen to all, they can’t be predicted, avoided . They happen

They had nothing of what they have today and now they decide to implement load mgmt? lol

Knicks without KAT

And while I’m on subject

Does any team play with a full squad anymore?

Thanks Leflop

Classic Pastalogic....blame the 40 year old guy still playing at MVP levels for injuries and missed time throughout the league.

KAT has personal thing he's working through, don't believe it has been explained more than that? Maybe he's trying to disguise ducking the Lakers after they shut him down last time lol? Really though, hope it's not a family issue, those can be brutal.

Overuse leads to wear and tear. It's the reason pitchers are now limited to 100 pitches or less. Absolute common sense that seems to elude you (or delude you perhaps?)....

Keep trying to tell ya this is a giveaway you are lying.....Real athletes don't feel the need to tell others so often they are athletes.

But I agree injuries can happen to anyone.

Who the hell came up with this overuse?

You don’t train for how many minutes you play

You train to fight through all obstacles

You train to win

Will say I do wonder where 100 pitches became some threshold not to be passed (or not by too many pitches). Especially since Ps used to go well past that number and don't think injuries were more frequent (and were maybe less frequent).

I pitched , the 5 th inning is where my body was ready to go rest of way

Now, they take them out of game which is absurd! Ya freekin get 5 days off before your next start

PATHETIC way of thinking. Ya know how many records will never be set or broken with this puzzy way of overthinking the game

Wont go so far as to call it pathetic as guessing they have their reasons.....especially since every team pretty much does things the same way or close.

Bro , bro. Brooooooo!!!

It’s all about the money

You’re an investment and they want the most out of it

The players have now bought into this mindset and now are just concerned about prolonging career for the money

Do you really believe winning is the ultimate priority today?

what the hell are you talking about? I guess can see players buying in since paid more and more but wouldn't teams get most out of investment starting them 40X/year as opposed to 30? Guessing careers were just as long back then if not even longer.

At least blame the right people for load management.

It is Greg Popovich who really made it mainstream. Before LeBron.

And for the 1000th time it usually isn’t the player deciding to rest.

Yes...had forgotten about Pop doing this. And thinking if wanted to pin this on a player (or team resting their player) it was more those who were hurt a lot like Kawhi, PG, AD, etc.
