The Brooklyn Nets decision to sit four players, then pull three others on Wednesday continues to have ramifications, although it appears the most severe sanctions — a fine or some other sanction — appear unlikely. That’s because, despite new language on load management, “everyone does it” will probably save them any further embarrassment.
Should it? On Friday, more than one pundit had their say on the issue while the Nets stayed quiet, certainly the best move from their perspective. Mike Vaccaro of the New York Post set the critical tone in a column posted Thursday night.
