[Vincent Van Goat]

And on the other hand you have “it can’t get any worse” with

Durant
Blake
Klay
Oladipo

 

[Bert.]

Injuries happen

 

[antidope]

Yeah I disagree. To each his own but nah. Let people mind their health they're not solely here for our amusement.

 

[B Sox]

Everybody and their bodies are different. Don't feel like they should all should be judged the same.

Really don't care about load management at all at this point.

 

[trynafeelmink]

I personally don't care about Load management when someone is legit nursing an injury, but it's very easy to see why a GM & coach would be upset with a player load managing simply because they think it will "preserve" them in the long run.

Also this is a business and players load managing hurts the business point blank. I was considering Knicks/Lakers Tickets but i'm still weary because idk if both Bron/AD will play.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Shut up and exec

 

[ill steelo]

Forget about that silly midseason tourney and do away with b2b’s and we wouldn’t have this. Most guys aren’t sitting out games when they already have 1-2 days rest prior.

 

[gentrification]

I dont care about the load management but it is trash.

 

[nick.]

Interesting.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I doubt he leaves but still

INTERESTING

 

[Bert.]

pretty sure he wants a max contract, just 6 more months and he gets more money

which would likely be the lakers either way

 

[moonman818]

Interesting.

Not interesting at all. He gets more money and years during the Summer

 

[lovehateself]

Interesting.

he just wants to be wine, dined and sixty-nine'd

lakers can offer the most anyway

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I don't wanna have a long debate about this but honestly it's because a lot of things Kobe was criticized for, harden gets praised for by those same people. I remember Kobe had a quote about how his misses created rebounding opportunities for his teammates. Now that's a legit strategy in today's NBA. Kobe 'quit' on his team when he got trapped but harden was making the right play. Kobe ran off Shaq after actually winning 3 rings but you don't hear anything about harden and Paul or how they didn't even acknowledge each other when they played this year etc. It is what it is

This is dumb. So you're doing what you're criticizing other people for doing. Be the change you want.

In all seriousness, this is funny because Kobe has been on the Harden wave before he was even in MVP talks. I'm talking years ago. He always would prop up Harden. Harden is signed to his sports drink company too.

 

[B Sox]

Tonight's slate is so bad.

 

[tay1]

Tonight's slate is so bad.

You saying you not tryna watch Cleveland and Detroit ball out?

Imagine seriously trying to compare running Shaquille O'Neal out of town to running Fail Paul out of town.

Imagine.

People still thinking Kawhi is load managing are dumb as hell

Nah. Keep the same energy . Kobe did run off Shaq. He did have some playoff blunders. But he also had 5 of them thangs to solidify him that people wanna overlook. Harden does the same things to a worse degree and people make countless excuses and act like winning is overrated. It's funny to ya boy is all

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

People still thinking Kawhi is load managing are dumb as hell

Kawhi, doc and the clipper org are 100% to blame for that bro. Doc still be acting like he doesn't know Kawhi isn't playing in back to backs
