    Loved the steals jumping in the passing lanes. Best stat for Lebron tonight? 24 minutes of action and rested the whole 4th quarter.

    And can cruise and conserve energy when Schroeder’s in the game sharing play making and handling the ball with him.

    Crazy! That's huge. Hopefully he can net a few more like that now that Dennis is back. Didn't think he'd get rest like that with AD out.

    As long as he trusts Schroeder, he can take some minutes off. And since Dennis rarely misses games due to injury/health issues, this should be happening more.

    Can't trust Dennis' acquaintances, though, not to break Covid Protocol:giggle:

    No AD, no Gasol, no Kuzma and now no LeBron. Yikes.

    Good. Playing Excremento on the eve of an All-Star break is beneath him anyway.

    That will essentially give him 9 days off, assuming he can play the bare minimum Sunday. I'm in favor of him getting whatever rest he can.

    I’m glad he’s taking it off. No need to risk anything with a back to back and travel.

    yeah, popovich understood this a decade ago. if lebron was sitting for rest, the suns game was the game to do it. we were going to lose anyway. now we're going to drop a game we shouldn't have.

    I see the frustration but I’m guessing perhaps Vogel wanted to figure out the best matchups in order to prepare for the playoffs in case we meet them.

    i suppose...but we're unlikely to see them in the playoffs (i'm guessing we'll be the 2/3 seed and they'll be the 4/5) and we shouldn't be worried about it, particularly in a game where we already have AD. we just lost two games instead of one, and i think for no good reason.
