Dan Dakich thoughts on LeBron resting.

[Trip]

If you're going to see Lebron on the second day of a back to back it's probably something to keep in mind if you're buying tix. I do think he's doing this as a power play to Silver to shorten the season though. Doubt he's that tired.

Y'all also probably the same dudes who say stuff like "(insert athlete here) doesn't care about you! He's just about his money! Why are you defending him so hard?" Well ya know what, that's right, a lot of athletes don't really care. So, ya know what I care about? Whatever I'm putting down to take my family or my girl to go see LeBron play

Just dumb. Plain dumb.

 

[resurrection]

That's life. If you're raising your kids to be fans of the team, then go watch the team. Yea it sucks that they don't get to see their favorite player, but thats how it goes sometimes.

Yep. Drive thru kids at Whataburger give me mustard when I ask for no mustard. I take that shyt back because there are protections for consumers even for a $6 meal. Just like, when someone puts down hundreds for the game, there should be protections.

I know y'all love LeBron and want him to get his rest and I get that, it makes perfect sense. But you don't think it's at least a respectable move for the team to announce that LeBron may not play road games on the back-end of back to backs? Or 4 out of 5 nights or whatever? Is that REALLY too much to ask?

Just dumb. Plain dumb.

Saying something over and over doesn't make it true. I could give a fukk what you think is dumb

 

[King Poetic]

He shouldn't rest on road games

At home no problem

He shouldn't rest on road games

At home no problem

probably the best solution for the league

But you didn't know ahead of time!! So the "had plenty of opportunities" part isn't really relevant, because THIS is the opportunity you chose. If you already put the money down and your kids were all excited, you don't think that's a let down? fukk them right? They can just eat that $300 or whatever, cuz fukk em?

This "bu...bu...but what about the fans" shyt kills me

1. For starters Indy is in the Eastern Conference. It's very likely he's going back there again this year and they have had plenty of opportunities over the last 14 years to see him.
2. If Bron is worn out or injured come playoff time, how many fans are gonna give him a pass because he played every game during the season?
3. This ain't new. We know that teams rest guys. We can't act like this is some shocking development. If you are going to a game for a specific player, meaning you don't really care about your team, it's on you to check the schedule.

 

[resurrection]

I'm not sure what "it's on you to check the schedule" means. Seems to me like, in the scenario I described which I would imagine is pretty common, they did check the schedule, and they chose that game because LeBron was in town. Maybe NOW they will think about this sort of thing, but I'm sure at the time, nobody was thinking "well back end of a back-to-back, maybe I shouldn't....." Nah, nobody was thinking that. They very well may be huge fans of the team, but can't afford every game so they pick the best one. Out of whatever 18k fans in attendance for a typical game, I'm sure there are many who fall in this category.

Compare toppings on a burger to athletic performance brehs. That's actually the problem here...people viewing and treating human beings like something other than human beings.

Rest for Bron was a major topic coming out of Cleveland this summer. If you are that interested in seeing him, that's something that it's on you to pay attention to.

But it is. You're just adding more and more spin to an outright shytty and easy to tear down opinion.

These dudes are plain stupid man. Call it what it is

Protections for what? You're paying to go see the game. The game is still being played. That analogy is horrible. An NBA game is not a service, Whataburger is. There are services within the arena that coincide with the game, but the game itself is not a service to you.

I love Lebron? I'm a Warrior fan... I respect LeBron, but I don't love him. I've been to a Giants game where Barry Bonds sat out... when Deion Sanders was on the Giants for a short time, i wanted to watch him play, and he sat the day I went...You have a choice to go to the games or not, and its always going to be a risk.

Cavs gift wrapped a win to the Pacers and people are up in arms about it.

They got a chance to watch Paul George, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love. It was a competitive game. You got your money's worth and the home team won.

It's very straightforward. If you wanna see Bron that bad, you should probably check the Cavs schedule as well. It's on Bron to consider every single fan that might be coming to see him but it's not on them to consider the wear and tear on his body and his goal (which is not a November game in Indy)?

Entitled as fukk fans who think players who have proven to go All out owes them something,

Right. That's exactly what I said and what I think:

I think there's a difference between "owing" the fans something, and being considerate or respectful of their time and money. If everyone just walked around only doing what they "owed" for people, society would suck.

You don't think entitled is overboard? If you are a working family and you put down a few hundo to treat your kids to a game to see LeBron and he doesn't show up, you think it's being "entitled" to wish you would have known ahead of time? To have your time and money respected?

I'm sure you take your order back at the drive thru when it gets fukked up and it's not what you ordered. That's not being "entitled". This is no different, in fact, I'd care a lot more about a few hundred dollars I spent on tickets than I did about $6 I spent in the drive thru

If you're not going to follow what I'm saying, don't keep droning on about it. You've been putting words in my mouth and thoughts in my head this entire thread.
