[...] I'm tired of watching the Clippers letting their star sit every time they face a good team.
Do you think this is kind of a strategy as well? If you sit them, a good team will have less information on how to deal with their stars when the playoffs come. It is like avoiding what happened to Giannis. He is strong but during the playoffs, the raptors have very good idea how to stop him and his team. Yeah they do have now. Anyways, that will affect their tickets sales so we dont need to worry about that.
Sacrificing their ticket sales now while keeping their stars healthy, I think that is a good trade-off. They can get more anyway if they get to playoffs and finals with healthy rosters. It means more games and more income.

I'll be damn surprised if they will apply load management to PG as well when he gets back to the court.
You can bet on that, they will continue to do that as they simply have team good enough to reach PO while occasionally resting their stars. And yes, it is annoying AF, imagine paying ticket to watch game, and then you see best players missing because "load management". But i understand teams doing that, end goal is winning NBA title and not to have most wins at the end of regular season. Will be interesting to see whether that hurts NBA in the long run, if others start massively doing the same thing. I watched Jazz vs 76s last night.When you look at score , it seems like a close win, but actually Jazz was much better and they controlled the game. 76s will never be real contenders without having proper shooters, and when you add on that fact that one of their main players Simmons can't shoot, things are not looking good for them. How can you be nr1 player in the draft, PG/Forward and having issues with basic stuff like 3pts shooting is beyond me..

No, they don't need to scout their opponent in the regular season, they can do it in the playoffs, besides if this two will face in the NBA finals, they will play a best of 7 games which means a they could play at least 4 games which is the shortest. Yeah they do have now. Anyways, that will affect their tickets sales so we dont need to worry about that.

Did it really slow down the ticket sales, this team is in LA which is a big market of NBA, fans will still watch no matter what because they will also see a good team which has star players on it like the past MVP.

It might. There are superstars with the other LA. So if I am to spend my money I would rather pick the Lakers game than the Clippers without Kawhi on board. That will be more fun right? So, the Warriors lose with a big lead because of their stars which is not present in the game. The Jazz though winning another game against a formidable 76ers which had been strong from the start. Anyone noticed the Jazz wins? They won against the Clippers the Suns and then now the 76ers. Something is good with this team but they are not consistent. Perhaps Quin Snyder is changing something with their plays. It is awesome at some point.

The Bucks might win. Kawhi will not play again because of load management according to some articles, however, other news articles say that he has an injury. What is the real story? Fake injury hehehe?
The Clippers might be breaking players resting policy if it is load management.
The bucks did win the game, though no Kawhi for the clippers but the game is almost winnable for the them. Anyways, load management is common in the NBA nowadays since they don't want their key players to get injured early in the season.

They did win a couple of games already so they can afford to be relaxed for a few games though i'm not sure how the nba woud react if kawhi's healthy and they just decided not to play him. As far as i know there's an existig rule about that. I just can't wait 'til he and pg becomes healthy again to play together.

If I remember it right, he got it also from Raptors. Why is he always getting a load management, is he injury prone? Or is it because of the feet injury he got when he was a spurs by Zaza Pachulia.

That's a management decision, although we don't like it but let's just believe on them as they know what they are doing. If I remember it right, he got it also from Raptors. Why is he always getting a load management, is he injury prone? Or is it because of the feet injury he got when he was a spurs by Zaza Pachulia.
Here's the news regarding your concern. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2861558-nba-says-kawhi-leonard-is-injured-clippers-arent-breaking-load-management-rule"Kawhi Leonard is not a healthy player under the league's resting policy, and, as such, is listed as managing a knee injury in the LA Clippers injury report. It's very clear, it was because of the Knee injury, although he can play but he is not fully healthy.

This will be crucial once the injury gets worse. I think this is the injury from Pachulia when he put his foot below the landing point of Kawhi. Yes, it might still be it. Damn Pachulia will never be forgotten by Kawhi even with all the trophies that he will have. Well, they said PG13 is near going back so we might still be seeing a higher odds of winning with the Clippers. I lost my bet with them 2 times already. But I trust PG13 coud lead the Clippers once his back. I will look at 2 games with him when he is back before I bet.

That's very sad for the Clippers. I also searched for news regarding tomorrow's game with the Trailblazers and here's what I found. https://www.nba.com/article/2019/11/05/report-clippers-kawhi-leonard-rest-versus-bucksLeonard is likely to play Thursday night at home against the Portland Trail Blazers
Hopefully, he could play that game. But this is a good news, at least the management is being responsible in handling their players.
Also, have you ever heard of Tony Snell's 28 minute no contribution game? Man, he just had a lot of contributions on their last game and that was flawless. No miss on his field goals.

I think it's decided by the managment of the team. Regardless of what's the reason is, resting their main man can benefit their whole team in the long run. Where in fact it's just the start of the season and preserving their supertar to avoid brutal injuries is what their management's top priority.

PG have the leadership same type of Kawhi, with Williams and the rest of Clippers they can handle the game even without Kawhai. It is his time now to help the team to keep winning while Kawhai still in that list. Anyway, this two stars will play together it's just need to give them some time to be more healthier and be more ready. the team only need to stay competitive and to make sure to advance to the next round.

That's to avoid further injury. Load management is just a fancy term for resting. I really think that's BS. It's just a shame how young he is to cut off his work load just to avoid injuries. Lebron is on his 17th year and didn't even had a load management before. So, I guess durability is included in the goat talk then? Something that younger generations is hard to keep up nowadays. These are just done for any time there is a back to back games. The real issue was because the clips decided to rest him on the nationally televised game day. Otherwise you would never even heard of it. Other players/teams do this and it is not an issue or not in the news. They make it a big deal because it is effecting tv ratings...i.e. NBA profits.

He could be a good addition to the lakers. Their bench needs improvement in defense and Iguodala can provide that. But I think there are also rumors before that Mavs is also interested to get him. He can give them the leadership of a veteran that the Mavs is lacking right now. But whatever teams he ends up, I am sure Iguodala will contribute greatly.

Mavs can use him more as he's type of defensive arsenal can be a good addition to their lineup. This young team still in the building process he can still find he's space and contribute. Aside from being veteran he also mentally capable to take every challenge showing his teammates how dedicated he is playing this sport. In the Lakers side, not sure if he still going to get quality time as they have a lots of players but most of the time the rotation is too limited.

Iguodala is going to be a great addition to the Lakers. I think that LeBron is having great influence on which players are going to join the team from LA. Having said that, Iguodala might be James' preference and choice so as to reach the finals with Lakers.

I can't understand why people still think that Kawhi is not playing because of any other reason than being injured.
Dude has a chronic illness, every team that was trying to get him knew this and they all gave him the contract even tho he is known to be a player with injured knee that requires resting time. This is not 3 years ago, this is not last year, this is now and it will be in the future as well. Dude just has an injury that is chronic and will continue forever until he retires, hell I am so sad about it that this dude will probably have hard time in his elder years, like when he is 60+ years old dude will have to walk with a cane.
Normally, a healthy person like Kawhi would grew old very well but this dude will not because he sacrificed his knee to be a superstar. He will sit out many many more times in the future and I am not even talking about just year, 5-10 years more as long as he plays.

Damn Pachulia will never be forgotten by Kawhi even with all the trophies that he will have. Not actually related since Kawhi has been sitting down games even before Pachulia injured him. He has a known chronic quad problem which has been said the he has been experiencing for 7 years now so this was really way before Pachulia injured him. With the load management that the NBA has cleared him to have it protects both the player and the team for having their all star to be healthy in more important games especially in the play offs. Yes as a fan this sucks on watching the Clippers not having one of their stars but this will be good for Kawhi's health and like I said be more available on bigger matches.

I'm also having the same thought about him for the Lakers and as for the Mavericks, I've read about that rumor but there's no verification from him or with the management that he's transferring. Iguodala is going to be a great addition to the Lakers. I think that LeBron is having great influence on which players are going to join the team from LA. Having said that, Iguodala might be James' preference and choice so as to reach the finals with Lakers.
Yeah, he is a good addition for the team and we will see that if they really are buffing their roster through Iggy. But with whatever team he goes, Mavs or Lakers. I think the team will highly benefit from him.
