Mother ****ers should have done that type of stuff from day one last seasonDamn Lauri is contused again. They are managing the contusion really well though. Play him against Dallas in a game we lose either way… rest him in this must lose game. Smart.
No it's not. Either sit him or don't.Damn Lauri is contused again. They are managing the contusion really well though. Play him against Dallas in a game we lose either way… rest him in this must lose game. Smart.
LolNo it's not. Either sit him or don't.
Doing this **** and we'll see a lot more 4/23 shooting nights, because he has absolutely no rhythm.
And if you sit him for good, don't then wonder why he has zero chemistry with Keyonte and their two-man game looks like they met on the court for the first time.
He’s getting some reps but selectively sitting to help the tank. I doubt he will forget how to shoot.No it's not. Either sit him or don't.

Why is he playing every other game? Make it make sense.He’s getting some reps but selectively sitting to help the tank. I doubt he will forget how to shoot.
Due to the changing levels of opponents we are playing.Why is he playing every other game? Make it make sense.
Some days he is more contused than others.Why is he playing every other game? Make it make sense.
Then shut him down lol. It’s a bruise.You guys think too hard. You just don't **** around with leg issues, unless it's really important game. Earlier in the season he sat out few weeks for hamstring, and after that, had twice one game off for hamstring management. That's the main reason now as well, managing the quadriceps and avoid to play too much too soon.
This doesn't make sense to me at all. How isn't A-and-a-half just somewhere between A and B? He gets reps with the rookies, he gets to play ball, but he does also manage load on a somewhat worn body.A) Sit him for the rest of the season. Sure, fine. Good for tanking, no injury risk, the rookies can play all the minutes they can take.
B) Play him. Sure, good. Lauri can work on everything he / the team thinks he needs to become an even better player. He can work with Keyonte - apparently everyone pretty much agrees they are the two cornerstones. And you can still make your odds of losing pretty good by for example calling the same Keyonte/Lauri P&R 15 times in a row.
C) This. Another half-assed, worst of both worlds, makes no sense and involves no logic move of playing him every other game.
(And no, bruises / charlie horses require no "injury management" after it's healed in reality, that's just silly.)
Because it achieves neither.This doesn't make sense to me at all. How isn't A-and-a-half just somewhere between A and B? He gets reps with the rookies, he gets to play ball, but he does also manage load on a somewhat worn body.
You can never be too carful lolDamn Lauri is contused again. They are managing the contusion really well though. Play him against Dallas in a game we lose either way… rest him in this must lose game. Smart.
This post is very validating for me.Mother ****ers should have done that type of stuff from day one last season

Ah, they are playing him in the important games like on the road vs Dallas. That one was super more important than the restYou guys think too hard. You just don't **** around with leg issues, unless it's really important game. Earlier in the season he sat out few weeks for hamstring, and after that, had twice one game off for hamstring management. That's the main reason now as well, managing the quadriceps and avoid to play too much too soon.
Ya no player has ever been load managed. Every player in the NBA either plays every game or no games at all.Because it achieves neither.
NBA players aren't robots that you can put in "sleep mode" for five days and then just put on the court. I don't think it was a coincidence how out-of-sorts Lauri looked in the last game and how bad him and Keyonte together looked. And it's putting even more of a burden on Keyonte as a rookie. Every other game he's asked to be the main scorer and everything is in hands, every other game he's asked to look for Lauri first and their two-man game often. He's got enough on his plate already without having to deal with this ******** idea.
Also, Lauri's body isn't worn. Or if it is, after 53 games, then everyone should be worried. If there's a point in time when this team is competitive, he'll be asked to play 90+. Let's say he plays five more this season, then his average for the last six seasons will be 56 games played. That's another thing he (and everyone that would be part of that competitive team) needs to prove.
But this isn't load management, which is something completely different. Your strawman is not pretty.Ya no player has ever been load managed. Every player in the NBA either plays every game or no games at all.

All NBA bodies are worn this time of year, at least given that you play significant minutes.Also, Lauri's body isn't worn. Or if it is, after 53 games, then everyone should be worried.
