    LeBron, Irving & Love NOT traveling to Memphis tonight.
    Poor rich Memphis kid who has been excited for months to go see LeBron & Co.

    Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue will give his Big Three a night off Wednesday, with LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love set to rest at home as the Cavaliers play the Grizzlies in Memphis.


    Ty Lue should do this much more frequently. The NBA is all about the playoffs. The regular season is just for TV content and revenue.

            Only one thing matters = WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP - everything else is bullshit.

            When they get to the tipoff of the last game of the playoffs, will they look back and say "Damn, we'd be better prepared for this game if we went to Memphis in December" or "I feel good because I didn't get used up playing in 82 regular season games." ?????

              Cavs starters =
              1. Tristan Thompson
              2. Channing Frye
              3. James Jones
              4. Iman Shumpert
              5. DeAndre Liggins

              Fantasy Players take whichever Memphis player James Jones is guarding.

                      Been there, it may have been the Sonics last season in Seattle and my son and I were going to the Cavs game. The night before he tweaked his ankle in Portland and sat out, sucks but that's the risk, no whining about it.

                        If he's rich he can travel to Cleveland to see LeBron whenever he likes.

                          Where will these rested players be tonight.

                          Clubbing?

                          At home?

                          Fans need to know.

                                                    it's about making money. this "winning" the championship nonsense is overrated. players know only 3 or 4 teams have legitimate shot of "winning" rest only care about their contracts. how resting in december is going to help you in june is something i don't get. play them less minutes if you want to "rest" these overpaid clods. if they were paid by the game not one of them would take a night off.

                                                      If you want to rest the players, put them in for 10-12 minutes so the people paying money at least get to see them for a little while. This is why I will never travel to Memphis or Atlanta to see a game. It's not worth the travel to be potentially disappointed.

Lebron has stated he is not a fan of these rest days and always wants to be available for his teamates but will do what the coach/organization wants. Lebron currently sits 13th in the history of the nba in minutes played so even though he is 31 years old his body is much older. Now resting irving and love would be a different debate.
