Game 68: Cavs @ Clippers, Mar. 18th 2017, 8:30 PM EST

[tocov]

Love isn't cleared for back to backs yet and Kyrie isn't quite ready.

Didn't want to put LeBron in a position to have to carry the load with the other two out.

Sucks for the fans at the game tonight and for ABC but it make sense. Living out here, I'm definitely glad I didn't drop money to go to this game.

As far as fines, the only guy who is truly sitting for non injury related reasons is LeBron.

Makes sense.
Thanks.

Hope to see some minutes for Felder... curious if his long stint at dleague (he played well) helped in cleaning up weaknesses in his game when it time to play with the big boys...

Maybe the big 3 resting both games? That would be 5 days off.

The starting lineup should be:
Deron/Kay
JR/Liggins
Shumpert/Williams
RJ/Frye
TT/Sanders

Win or loss I want to see Deron and JR develop team chemistry in the backcourt.

Sanders is with the Charge

Sanders is with the Charge

This could have been a good game to test his development.

They cloned him prior to the trip. He's playing in LA as well.

Feel like we could have won this game with LBJ + Love, rest them tomorrow, and let Kyrie play tomorrow if he's ready. We should be able to beat the Lakers, who are purposefully tanking, with or without the Big 3. Not really sure I understand sitting them tonight.

What are the odds that 'Bron is sitting because he wants to make sure that the Clippers finish ahead of OKC so it would hurt Westbrook's mvp case?

 

[Real Deal]

They show all the LeBron fans first lol

Then sit LeBron tomorrow against 4th most talent basketball team in LA.

Kyrie said they were all dreading the drive to LA. Coupled with it being the start of a back-to-back and Kyrie/Kevin's knee issues.. looks like he meant it.

And, "see how bad this team is without me national audience?"

I'm sure someone knows, but when was the last time the starting five actually started a game together? December?
