AD and LeBron already listed as out for Monday’s game against the Nets. First game in a New York back-to-back. Hope the grit’n’grind guys who show up rain or shine can get it done. Feels like we should expect this going forward, for better or worse.
Not Surprised

It makes sense. The Nets are 3 and 10 without KD. Simmons and Warren are both questionable. The Knicks are playing very well so it’s better to play them against the Knicks. If they can make Kyrie work for everything they might stand a chance.
It’s just everything about this team goes from “we can do this!” To “old and tired” every other game. I agree that it is smart to load manage both players but there’s now a legit chance we start the road trip off 0-2. This team seems to think it can absorb losses, it really can’t.
Gotta play em all. LBJ has to be really hurting if he says he can’t play! Or is just Hammless calling this?
My bad, thought Nets were playing well.
It’s always gonna take a coupla weeks for AD to slooowwwly get back up to speed after a layoff so this is entirely predictable. Plus, I didn’t like the way he looked in the 2nd half of that Celts game..not the same aggressiveness & too much hanging around the arc. So..yeah..let him rest. And if anyone has earned a blow It’s LBJ. Good news is that we can afford it since The West is so tightly bunched at the moment.
