How a Rotoworld slight may have fueled a Brendan Haywood season-finale breakout game

Posted Apr 18, 2015
Before Sunday's loss to the Boston Celtics, Cavaliers coach David Blatt announced pregame that LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, JR Smith and Kevin Love would sit the game out. A few moments later I tweeted out in jest that Blatt forgot to mention that Brendan Haywood would rest as well, since the big man hasn't played in a game - blowouts and all - since Feb. 26 and it was only a minute-long stint.
