    Celtics at Knicks will be fun...I think KP will be playing, and Kyrie Irving at MSG is must-see for me

    I love that KerrPop tell the NBA to **** off ... we're resting our guys. And if you have even a minor injury, we're resting you.

    The NBA will catch on to this injury excuse to rest players. So they will demand official doctors notes. Then this method of sitting players for rest rather than legit injuries won't work.

    They're probably legit injuries, maybe even some they could play through but are erring on the side of caution.

    "That ankle sprain ain't too bad. You can play through it, get out there." ... I mean, really? Gonna force them out there? I doubt it.

    The league thinking it can force a coach to play certain players makes no sense to me.

    I notice how Shaq and Chuck hardly ever "clown" european NBA players when they have bad nights. Kristpas is playing bad tonight, and they are giving him a pass. Im not the biggest dwight howard fan or deandre jordan whoever.. but whenever they have bad games the ridiculing is relentless. Hell even James Harden gets destroyed more than a guy like Ricky Rubio( who was supposed to be the next steve nash)

    Knicks fans chanting “MVP...MVP” to Michael Beasley as he goes to the line. LOL

    (Maybe this post belongs in the “I am literally Carmelo” thread)
