    Yeah I like Huerter after seeing him in the league. Atlanta has a nice young core, but I can’t get over them passing on Doncic.

    If that's accurate, it will be an interesting test.

    That makes no sense to do that now instead of sometime over the last couple weeks with our upcoming schedule the way it is.

    Oh god he's being traded to the Lakers.

    Maybe they are trying to boost CJ's trade value?

    Awesome. It won't matter how much rest we have upcoming if Dame pulls something in THIS game. He and Nurk and CJ have been working like mad the past few weeks. This was long overdue. This is when overuse, stress injuries happen.

    Yes, I get that but shouldn't his rest day have been the OKC game then after tweaking his elbow the night before on a back-to-back?

    Maybe they wanted to try to win that game since at the time it was for third in the west, but also since same division/conference a win would've helped with tiebreakers in the event they needed it. They probably also feel like they can beat the Hawks without him.

    If they are resting him so he doesn't get overused the timing of that decision is way more important than the opponent though.

    Yes it should have been. I posted the same thing here. Take the L and rest everyone. But I think Terry wanted to go for that win. This one should be manageable without Dame as is

    I think that's a dangerous game when you start resting versus certain opponents instead of what's best physically and medically.

    If Dame needs rest, so be it. I want him to be at his best. Other teams are doing it with their best (Leonard, Irving, Embid tonight as a matter of fact vs. Den.). Others need to step up. CJ will bring his best.
