Coach Lue is going to lace them up.Someone educate me on how an NBA team fields a full roster in situations like tonight. With Shumpert out Cleveland is down to 8 players. If they declare the 4 inactive by a certain time prior to the game, they can fill (tonight's) roster with guys out of the D-league or otherwise?
I don't think they go as far as actually declaring three guys inactive, do they? Maybe I haven't noticed. Can't they just "rest" in their unies, just in case?
And what's Tristan Thompson, chopped liver? No rest for the weary.
Numbers don't lie when your God sits, Tip.
Cavs 8 or 9-deep tonight with zero playmakers.
I'm not disputing the play or the numbers, was wondering out loud about what Frank asked. When all three sat in Memphis, I don't think any of them even traveled. But if they're in OKC, the resting trio are presumably available in case of emergency, right?
Hope for the OKC backers that they are indeed out, and that "probably" turns to "definitely". Smells a little weird.
