No, you are a fool if you don't think all that matters. Durant playing as many minutes as he did in the playoffs and all the deep playoff runs contributed to his calf injury. Tom Haberstroh breaks it down here: https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/video/big-number-lebrons-pace-cause-concern A dude with the amount of mileage he has, at his age, playing at the fastest pace of his career has NOTHING to do with his groin injury eh?

Whatever you say champ. The Lakers had a pace of 103.6 last year, which was good for 4th in the NBA. The year before, the Cavaliers were 9th in terms of pace at 98.7. You're telling me that he's more likely to get injured because of the pace? Get out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying LeBron playing at the fastest pace he's ever played at this point of his career most definitely could have contributed to the injury. And the last few years in Cleveland, he was pacing himself by taking a bunch of possessions off by just walking and not moving. In 2017-2018 the Cavs pace was 98 while it was 93 the season prior. That's a pretty damn big difference compared to what it was in his first year with the Lakers. Over a 10 difference from just 2016-2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's going to be managed by the coaching staff and may not be playing in all that many back to backs. But I guess that could also depend on how well the team is doing and if they are pushing for the last few playoff spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop trying to overthink this one. If you wanted to argue that his age was affecting his health, I'd get that. But the pace of the league as a whole has gone up.

I doubt they will be gunning for the #1 seed or anything. But if they are say the 7th seed at the ASB, then at that point you can't really sit him out on back to backs since every game will be needed. Now, if they are say the 3rd seed? Then sure, you can sit him out when ever you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fans yabber on and on about this player and that signing this gazillion dollar deal or that - and conversely - we're somehow satisfied (conditioned?) - that despite the salary these guys are pulling down, its okay - perhaps even mandatory - that they take games off. Chill and do some "load management" almost to the point of considering it mandatory. If "load management" is the new way of the world - why dont they (either) increase the roster sizes or reduce the number of regular season games. No. We'll just get the fans to accept the concept of not trying hard all the time. Not a bad marketing job. Last I checked NBA ticket prices werent cheap.

Some players would like for lesser games, but the problem is they aren't willing to take lesser money since the league will lose revenue with say 20 less games. Definitely sucks for the paying consumer on certain nights paying to see LeBron or Kawhi or whoever and they sit out. But could you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not made a study of it but recall reading an article - NBA related - that the game has gone corporate. That the majority of the high end floor seats and suites are all "built in" revenue for the team cause the money's coming from deep pockets - and not the guy who may or may not be walking in off the streets.
