OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

[fgcamel]

Can't believe kevin love was once considered one of the best big men in the league.

 

[zyzz]

Tbh, I don't think Houston really matters in this that much. It's gonna end up coming down to us and Dallas.

 

[Douchebag K]

Are you the best in the world at what you do?

mebbe ... does that make a difference ?

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Yes. Lol. Can Zuckerburg or Gates take a day off and still get paid?

Spoiler

[Jazz4ever]

Look, I don't want to get into a whole capitalism thing here.

But he gets whatever money/benefits that the league deems him worthy of. The reason he can get paid and still rest is because any team would gladly give him a max contract even if he told them that in 30 of 82 games he's just gonna rest.

 

[fgcamel]

can i have a day off my job to rest cause i'm tired .. and still get paid ?? that'd be cool

If your bosses/management agree to it, I'm sure you could...

 

[MT Steve]

Sad thing is I could totally envision a scenario where we miss the playoffs because the Clippers and Spurs both rest their players against Dallas but not against us.

Most jobs do have these, they are called sick days. People use them when they aren't really sick, just like NBA players rest when they aren't necessarily injured.

 

[Douchebag K]

You asked.

lol yes and that's exactly what i was meaning. Would you rather i just made my point outright so you can understand it a little easier next time ?

What does Steph Curry have to do with LeBron being rested?

They could both take a day off and still get paid.

No, but as a qualified English teacher, I would like to argue about your use of the word "best" and the concept of superlatives in general.

 

[Douchebag K]

Respect, lmao.

didn't realise that was comedy ..

 

[Bawse Dawg]

I see what you're doing.

And I approve.
