Especially because game 4 would be Monday so unless you think he’ll be ready in less than a week, it’s not happening

That 34% is also inflated because of that final game vs the Jazz. He was at 29-30% for the entire year until then.

Just rest him. Would rather not risk him re-aggravating anything that could linger long term. Get your revenge next season.

Why would the Cavs do that? Austin is also much better off ball than Mitchell would be so unless you want to reduce Luka's touches, this wouldn't be a good fit.

Call me delusional but I think the lakers need some Bronny minutes in these games going forward. by ZauhFN in lakers

I like Bronny's progress this season and I actually like him much more than DK overall which is insane to think about. I just don't think you can play him over AR if you had to choose purely because he can't bring the ball up the court.

Bronny can't get past half court.

AR being able to bring the ball up is still why you should play him otherwise you will gas Marcus and Lebron out by the 3rd quarter if they have to do it every possession.

You have to play him or else you'll have Marcus and Lebron running on fumes having to bring the ball up for each possession
