Yeah, Joe Montana doesn’t get enough credit, whereas Dwight Clark gets way too much in NFL lore. Let’s chip away at the legacy he has, which is especially pertinent as he reveals what the game may have (re: probably has) taken away from his life.

This is an important point; if you’ve put off that hernia surgery or foundation repair to pay for your family of four to show up for what’s really a non-unique, sub-par regular season game, stars resting is not your biggest problem.

Sure it is. I stand by what I said - if you can’t be entertained at an NBA game despite the very best players not playing, you shouldn’t waste your money going to the game, period.

how am i supposed to get a selfie of me pretending to enjoy the Cavs game if Lebron isn’t playing!

I paid $200 for upper level row 12 seats to see Lebron and the Cavs, on my birthday. Guess who sat that game out due to injury concerns. I still had fun, because I didn’t go to see Lebron, I went to see the Warriors pull out a win. They did, and it was a dope birthday.

What bothers me even more is the fact that it’s not just the Nets who are tanking! The lakers are full on shitting the bed ON PURPOSE but people Bitch and complain about superstars sitting out for a late season game against a non rival team in the opposite conference. You want this shit fixed? Change. The. Damn.…

“That’s a reasonable expectation for a family spending $500 to see a game.”

I mean, if you really wanna make that comparison then you have to account for the fact that Irving and Love are injured (ETA - “injury concerns”), so in your analogy Prince would probably just have canceled that show altogether. My final conclusion is that I still don’t give a shit about whiny fans.

Trying to win the NBA champsionship is more important over the feeling s of some fans that dont understand that their team is trying to win an NBA championship. Other than that, you are exactly right.

So the league is just going to ignore teams like the Nets, who routinely sit their entire teams for multiple night stretches at a time?

With an 82 game regular season and playoffs that include over half the teams, are we really surprised teams don’t take every regular season game seriously?

If the league doesn’t want this, then shorten the too long season and end back to backs. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Too many games in the NBA schedule, plain and simple.

Also the NBA diluted their own quality of play with an absurd 82 game regular season. Cut it in half and the games might then be important enough to try hard at all of them. At the same time, the NFL extreme where players need to Toradol to mask injuries, each game of 16 might be too important.

Maybe if the NBA didn’t insist on such a brutal schedule and built more off days and rest into the schedule, or cut the number of games back to a reasonable amount, teams wouldn’t feel the need to rest their players in nationally televised games? Just a thought.

There is a fan base that probably bought tickets tonight to see LeBron James play for the first time. They didn’t get a chance to see that, and that’s not cool”

McDonalds is a great example to defend minimum wage legislation and other work rights enshrined in law.

I don’t buy this bullshit argument and you know it’s a bullshit argument. You know there are more people working in McDonald’s than broke teens only looking for an entry career. You know there are people who are stuck in the shitty life of a McDonald’s employee because there aren’t other opportunities, or they’re…
