That would be amazing.
But no way it happens unless our guards off the bench actually start hitting some shots. Hopefully we can get some blowout wins next week. |
Question: Is it better for LeBron to sit out full games here or there or try a different form of load management and just keep his minutes at that 32-33 mark for the year regardless?
Which scenario benefits his health overall, I wonder? |
IMO, it's not simply about minutes. But it's the amount of exertion he has to use in those minutes. If he's at 35 mpg, but say 6 of those minutes he can coast because the rest of the team is playing well, I think it's fine. Having him play 35 mpg while having to play like the 3rd quarter of the Bulls game is not something I'd want.
Also, I would not want my guys playing in back to back games. Not that it'll give him more energy for the playoffs, but to give the body rest after a game as to reduce the risk of injury. |
Got it |

Also one thing to keep in mind that his minutes will ramp up in the playoffs. So last thing you want to do is cut his minutes too low during the regular season. Your body will take a lot of adjustments and getting used to play those type of heavy minutes. I think which can also lead to injuries. Example Curry, Durant, and even Kawhi started breaking down in the playoffs last year. He was just fortunate Warriors had more injuries. |

If Bron is rested during the season at times, I'd prefer it be against scrub teams. I'd rather he always play against other elite teams if not injured.

He's gotta get a game or two off.
I think they're waiting until Kuz can sort of get back to his 18-20ppg level play so there's a 2nd shot finisher.
Who is more important right now to load manage? 34 year old LBJ or AD?

There is a lot of debate about that in the medical community. From what I've read, the feeling seems to be that taking off a whole game is more beneficial to the body than playing fewer minutes over a series of games.
There is also a sense that minutes spent playing in an actual game are different than minutes practicing or lifting weight since they all have different stressors. However, no one really knows for sure. |

Yeah, I can theorize the benefits both ways. Hard to know..
God, I miss the days where it was just “My guy dunked on your guy, he’s better!” Lol |

Now Larry Bird, that would be interesting. He was so beset by injuries at the end of his career, he would be load managing like crazy, right?
LBJ's durability going into his 17th year is pretty insane.

Don't worry. 95% of the discussions on LG (or most social media boards) will always be at the "my guy dunked on your guy" level.  |

Per NBA PR, if LeBron scores at least 20 against the Heat tomorrow he will become the third player ever with 1,000 20-point games

The win is the most important thing though. If we rack up enough wins we have a nice cushion so we can rest our stars  |

It's just so crazy that a guy that passes so well, also has so many points. |

I guess it's a bit easier when you're blessed with the physical capabilities to just blow by people. I think he started as a really good football wide receiver before concentrating on basketball and I think it shows. Just that burst football players need to have.

I'm still surprised at how much he's buying into playing defense. He's locked in. Man if we can just get Iggy...
