bhoyal 0 Report post Posted January 8 From wire service reports: Star guard Kyrie Irving, who sat out of the Nets' win over the Sixers for personal reasons, will not be joining the team on their flight to Memphis, ESPN reports My take: we couldn't beat Cedi Osman and Dean Wade. We certainly won't beat LeVert and Joe Harris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grizzled Vet 0 Report post Posted January 9 On this topic, not necessarily specific to this game, but how upsetting would it be as a fan to have bought this ticket in advance early just for this chance to see Ja vs. KD and Kyrie and realize you are getting none of that.

Sort of happened to me in a baseball version. Had a ticket at the Busch Stadium before the current one to see Cardinals vs Giants expecting to see Pujols vs Bonds and got neither. It was the final game of the series and both got rested. The highlight was Scott Rolen's defense. He started numerous double plays...what a defensive star in his prime at 3rd base. But not why I bought the tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My grandparents took me to St Louis to see a Cardinals game one time when I was a kid. Ozzie Smith and Willie McGee both sat out, I pretty much quit being a baseball fan that day. Back then baseball was about the only sport where pro players took days off to rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McGee played minor league ball here in Nashville at the old horrible Greer Stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
