not sure if these players in the nba aren't healthy or just those things that Trump likes the grab. load management is a fuck you to the fans who are dumb enough to pay to go see an NBA game. so i shelled out $100+ and this ahole is sitting on the bench because he's tired. fuck kawhi and any other player that pulls that shit. get your ass in the game.The Juggler said:
I guess Kawhi has never been healthy then.pjhawks said:
now why would you need load management on a guy you insist is healthy and has been since day 1? hmmmmThe Juggler said:
No not really as I’m a big proponent of it with Embiid.tempo_n_groove said:
That is a little bit o hindsight now though, huh?The Juggler said:You guys think Raptors fans care about some missed games in November last year?
just kidding above...kind of. shall we do an over/under on how many games simmons and embiid actually get on the court together in the regular season this year? what are at, 2 now?
Load management is a disgrace to the league. maybe Kawhi should only get paid for 60 games then?
Loan management is rampant throughout the league. The Sixers were on to something clearly.0 -
If it were up to me, I would not have Joel Embiid ever play a back to back for his entire career.tempo_n_groove said:
Is that how it works? Cool, thanks...The Juggler said:
Hey man, I wish the NBA was like it was 30 years ago too. But, all that matters is putting your team in the best position to win a championship. And you're not winning anything with your best players not on the court come spring time.tempo_n_groove said:
It has become a hot topic now in the NBA and that is all people are talking about, load management.The Juggler said:

On the Jump T-Mac wished they had the amenities that the players have now, five massage therapists, 5 trainers, dietitians. Then you had Richard Hamilton that looked at playing in all 82 games a s a badge of honor.
Iron man awards aren't give out and a player doesn't get extra money or incentives for playing in more so I get it.
Everyone is striving for the playoffs now a days. That is all that matters...
Last year he led the league in minutes played for centers for the first half of the season and then he had some healthy issues in the second half. That's just stupid. I think you have to do everything you can to preserve your greatest assets, especially if they have an injury history like Jo and Kawhi have had. I just think it makes sense to be conservative with this stuff.
Now, if I have tickets to a game where he's sitting, I'm pissed! But that's a short term thing. I know what the long term vision is.www.myspace.com0 -

Well you're making my argument here. They overplayed him way too much early which, I think, lead to injuries in the second half and missing a bunch of time leading up to the playoffs. Had they managed the load better early, odds are it probably would've resulted in a healthier Embiid come playoff time.pjhawks said:

His eating regime and stuff like that were also a factor last year that they say he's improved. Who knows though.www.myspace.com0 -

The spca was about the playoffs and nothing to do with drafting a center with bad feet and bad back. So what is the over under on games embiid and Simmons both start and finish the game together? What are they at now just 1 I believe?The Juggler said:

And you didn’t think they would make the playoffs BECAUSE you believed Embiid would never be healthy and to expect nothing from him for his career. Stellar prediction.pjhawks said:

Why do NBA players change teams so often?
I was watching Miami vs. Lakers the other day and noticed Jimmy Buttler is now playing for Miami.
Last I knew he was at the Bulls, then I read that he's been to two teams in between Bulls and Miami.

Players run the league now. If they are unhappy somewhere they ask to be traded. They are all pulling a Marbury now. He was ahead of his time, lol.
