The only reason this has any press is because its Lebron sitting out. Players get paid to DNP all the time, should the players at the end of the bench give their paychecks back? Marbury and McGrady get sent away from their teams for half the season and still get paid, where's the uproar there? Point is, you pay for the entertainment, you go to watch the teams play, you don't know which players are going to be available.

this is pretty stupid. reduced minutes, he still could get injured. no one cares that other players are resting on other teams. i bet 90% of the people who have a problem with this don't like lebron. Who really cares, cavs fan's dont care, he's gonna be fresh for the bulls series. its absurd, get over it. Theres no real issue. Fans didn't get their money's worth? They should have gone to games earlier in the season. It was no secret Lebron wasn't gonna play.

ohhhhhhh ...... i see what you did there. :lol:



Well, the Cavs had already clinched number 1 spot before the Raptors' game. Why didn't he rest then? Why did he and/or Mike Brown chose to start the resting after the Raptors game?

Sitting out the final game is pretty common. But the last 4 games? Why not the 5 games?
