Yeah.... with about 4 minutes left Giannis returned to the game and promptly elbowed Bron in the chest on a drive with no call.... then ran him over on the next possession and got a very hometown block on Bron called.

You could see LeBron holding his chest/under arm the rest of the game in dead ball situations. Sounds like it bruised up pretty good. Before that I didn't notice any issues.... maybe it aggravated it.

Well.... Kuzma back in into the fire it seems. Welcome back kid.... you're taking LeBron's spot tonight.

Excuses. Let's own up to our losses so we can get better by improving on the things we need to address.

This is on vogel. Coach the team. Manage the load. Regulate the minutes. This is in vogel

Ruh oh Load management kicking in.

Or is it rest time for X-mass day?

It was a matter of time until LeBron got injured due to poor load management, playing him all games for +35 minutes. I hope he learns from this huge mistake.

Can we win without Bron?

No more than 32MPG for Bron, please. Figure out how to win with that as a premise. I’ve said it since summer. Why don’t you listen Frank?

I’d also cap AD at 34MPG.

It’s a marathon of 82 games. Not 82 sprints.

Phil Jackson knew that he had to drive the fans crazy at times when he stubbornly sat his stars at inopportune times during games. Frank should call him, have a philosophical chat about load management, trust, and the 82 game season.

100% agree. This reeks of excuses. If no investigations were done, it can’t be that serious. Sitting this game would be equivalent to load management. Without Bron, this is most likely the 3rd straight loss, but a good test for the rest of the team. AD has to handle Jokic, who’s been playing better lately.

We'll need Kuzma, Danny Green, Howard and Rondo to step up big time. Caruso had better be taking any open shots today and Bradley needs to contain Murray.

They better win this one. Get out there and play twice as hard as the Nuggets. Don't want to lose a 3rd in a row after an extra day rest.

He got elbowed in the ribs.... That doesn't seem avoidable by resting.

I’m beginning to hate Rondo

AD lookin like he came to play today.

Obvious travel by Harris. Dude looked like And1 Skip to my Lou out there.

Man we suck at shooting.

Actually Rondo has been setting guys up pretty well... we've been missing shots.

oh... man has Jokic gotten fat and slow.

Perfect time to unleash Kuz

Rondo with 3 steals on 3 possessions....

I still don’t think we should depend on Rondo to shoot the ball. Thats a recipe for disaster in the playoffs.
