    They are not looking at the teams they are playing when sitting those two out. It's the fact that they are playing 3 games in 4 nights, and the previous game went to over time. They are trying to give them two days off to recover.

    Bron definitely needs and deserves some rest. I don't think the soreness is that bad, but you have to have an excuse. "Old age" isn't enough these days, I don't think.

    Another amazing thing about Lebron, he'll be up to 4th All Time ,in assists before he catches Cap, for the scoring record.

    very bad first half from him, imo. good second half until the last two threes to gift the knicks OT.

    1st half sucked 2nd half good. Passing was great.

    Would be fun to speculate how well a guy like Brunson would fit with him

    He had a poor game for his standards but you can clearly see his impact when he's in the game. +22 in a six point overtime win.

    Should be even better after today.

    is it really a triple double if you need overtime to get it? Asking for a friend.

    it's some disrespect, but it's also him just not driving as much as he used to (he drives about 10 times per game compared to luka's 21 and SGA's league-leading 24). he shoots a lot of bad threes that don't allow for FTAs to become a factor (see: end of every close game).

    plus he is just bigger than guys he dares to post up, so they let contact go. if a big man swatted him, they'd probably call it.

    but skinny wings? nah
