Ten Things About the NBA: The Week Eight Edition

4). This past week we heard a bunch of opinions in regards to NBA teams giving players “resting” on road games on either the front or backend of back-to-back games. Here’s my take;

I get the idea of resting players towards the end of the regular season. What I don’t understand is why teams are doing so in December. If I had purchased a ticket to Wednesday nights Memphis Grizzlies Cleveland Cavaliers game hoping to watch my Grizzlies AND LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love I would have been ticked off. Had I purchased a ticket to Tuesday night’s game with the Cleveland Cavaliers Memphis Grizzlies hoping to watch my Cavs play AND Marc Gasol play I would have also been mad.
