In reply to Z–man.

Geez, Kelly Oubre…

Fucking Philly, man, they got some shitty ass luck.

Thank goodness he’s out of the hospital already, but I bet he’s going to miss most of the season.

I’m wondering if Randle was worried about making sure he has the 65 games needed to qualify as an all-star of all NBA and pushed to play because of that.

Yeah, it’s kind of a management screw up in my opinion. Let the guy *say he refuses to sit, then make him sit if it’s really necessary. I think the story is PR spin to fix his poor start.

Thanks, KBA. It is as I suspected, but again…….I wouldn’t have been surprised either way. I just would have been *more* surprised if Ju wanted to sit.

Re Julius. From yesterday. The Post article:

Gist being: Julius was 70% to start the season but did not want to sit. Wants to be available for the team. Pride. Etc.

Guess no one knows about Julius and the load management thing. Either that, or I’ve once again wielded my somewhat uncanny ability to be ignored no matter what I write.

I agree it’s a long time between games. But I suspect teams deliberately get breaks like this in their schedule occasionally during the season. The breaks are probably a result of playing some back to backs. If you played every other day and never had back back to backs players would basically be working every day of the season given travel requirements and the need to prepare for upcoming games. Everyone needs some personal days days sometimes and the having a break like this probably gives both players and coaches a needed personal day. Also teams sometimes have to integrate new players during the season and short schedule breaks help with that too.
