Lebron may sit out this game for rest.

Doesn't matter if they sit their big 3 or not, I'll be surprised if we even win without them playing

I feel like I'm on of the few people not upset by this. If they all sit out and we lose, I'll be ticked. As it stands now, we need all of the new can get.

People are upset? I'm thrilled. I thought they had zero shot if the Cavs played their guys.

A part of me is ecstatic and don't see any way we lose.

On the other hand, another part of me can and wants to almost guarantee a loss for the Thunder. It'd just be a typical OKC thing to do this year: lose to a team without 1-2 (in this case three) of their best players.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

The media is trying to find a story of a dad that spent his life savings on two tickets so him and his son could see Lebron play. Yeah that sucks if it does indeed happen. However if the guy was that good of a father, his son would be cheering for Westbrook. :D

Sabonis and Vic may be the two worst finishers at the rim in the NBA

The Cavs are probably going to lose tonight. OKC plays better at home than on the road, so everybody on OKC is going to give the Cavs their best shot and its on TNT. The Cavs were leaning toward resting Lebron, Kyrie and Love and they shoulda kept their word. Lebron checked out early in the 1st quarter, HE'S TIRED. If your going to play each guy every game and kill their bodies than keep your word, But don't say your resting Lebron, Kyrie and Love and than they wind up playing, I HATE THAT. The Cavaliers will look so stupid if they lose tonight when their stars shoulda rested.

Nice first quarter. Can it last?
