Yeah I'm not faulting them for wanting to rest or resting period, just loling at the fact that they complain about it... or complain in general, about everything... in particular after losses.

Or Iggy's "master" comments... just lol at them I really hope they don't win ****.

Man Draymond needs to stop talking about being oppressed. You're a millionaire world champ from bball, but the slave drivers keep forcing him to play B2Bs. What an entitled *****

It's a win for them a loss for their only competition and I'm assuming it affects some tie breaker between them as a bonus

Almost 2 wins vs just resting them another game

It's a no brainer

Like I said hope they get punished lose 1 seed by 1 game and lose in 7 to spurs in wcf this is atrocious

LOL check out the suns coaches after bledsoe ties it. One is motioning to move forward and the other one is motioning to move backward.

Just another close game against a shitty team where bron has to play 38 minutes for the cavs. They're going to crash and burn come playoffs.

Looks like the Pelicans have already given up on the BOOGIE experiment

They're so deep now after Deron and sniff coming back plus korver I think they might be able to properly rest the rest of the way

Also, LeBron has been doing this for like 12 straight years...He's been fine so far. Not saying it's a good idea, but not a lot of evidence to back up why all of a sudden he can't handle it.

Can't wait until Boogie starts firing shots at Gentry.

Is Boogie a top-50 asset?

keep wanting. another +12 in an 8 point win. Guy gets it done basically every game.

+3.1 with him on in 34.9 mpg and -3.0 with him off the court in 13.4 mpg this year. he's obviously massively important to a terrible team.

I want Duncan to come back and fill LMA's spot. Just sign for the rest of the season like 3 weeks from now.

Isn't there a roster deadline that you have to meet so that you're eligible to play in the playoffs?

yes. Its the day before the payoffs start though.

you're probably thinking of the waiver deadline. That doesn't apply to players who haven't had a contract with an NBA team this year though so guys that haven't played in the league can sign anytime before the playoffs and be eligible.

Oh okay, thanks for answering.

Duncan coming back and leading them to his SIXTH ring would be pretty sweet.

Especially if they beat GSW in the process.

One game here and there won't matter but if the resting stars in big games continues to become a thing it actually is going to start costing the players and owners a lot of money if it impacts future TV deals.

Or they can start by shortening the entirely too long season.

I was obv thinking the same thing yesterday but Duncan can't stay on the court vs GSW unless he's just been loading up on HGH waiting for this moment.

They won't need him against the warriors but could use him in the finals against lebron.
