Load management wasn’t a problem when it happened in San Antonio and Toronto. It only became a problem in Los Angeles from sour grapes Lakers and LeBron fans who foolishly thought they were getting Kawhi. ???? If Lakers got him, they would load manage him too.

well many of us was also against it in toronto.. the spurs load management was only 1 or 2 games near the end of the season and they got fined for it.. now kawhi cant play back to back games in 2 season???

Kawhi is not hurt he didn’t play the first game of a back to back last week but managed to drop 38 on the spurs the next day you can’tbe consider the best player in a league where you don’t always compete it seems unfair to guy who giving it there all 82 games

THIS is what it feels like to be LeBron James now, Kawhi. Even when you just want a GAME off, you get CRUCIFIED for it, like LeBron. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. If you’re the best like everyone’s been saying, you gotta get the same SMOKE and INCESSANT CRITICISM that LeBron got for like what, 15 years ?

They didn’t fine Doc for cheating, they fined him for not cheating well enough, this is ridiculous. Why have the rule if they don’t want to enforce it. Especially if it isn’t about game integrity but only there to try and trick the fans into being ok with players resting healthy. The narrative of it being the clippers vs the league office is now untrue since the league not only refused to enforce the rule when now given the chance by Doc admitting the truth, but now the league is lying to help continue cheating the rule, by claiming Leonard is injured which we all know is bs. Also, medical malpractice of falsifying reports, to either cheat a rule or risk a player’s health like with Durant in the finals, is fraud technically on the level of a criminal felony, by the way.

Leave the clippers alone. If I cant work I’m calling off. Leonard should do the same. Nuff said

Doc says he was fine because he is fine. The injury report is complete bullshit.

I think that the max contracts are based on an 82 game schedule. If it’s been agreed that KL is only going to play 60 to 65 games then his contract should be lowered accordingly. Give the extra money to charity.

Man a lot of European futbol players take “load management”. Americans really make it a big deal. Theres more to lose if the star player gets hurt in a game that doesnt matter in the long rub

Personally idk Kawhi but he just doesn’t seem like the type of player to take a day off for nothing. He’s not soft or weak, he just came off a crazy playoff run, chip, and finals mvp. But i get it y’all wanna see the fun guy play.

NBA didnt care about that money they got from Clippers, that was a poke to the Clippers that if you keep pulling this bullshit, we know that you’re lying to people about him and we’re gonna take more extreme action
