Will all sit against the Spurs tonight. I guess the Warriors don't care about the top seed.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Why are the Spurs starting Mills? Dejounte Murray would fit into that lineup much better
I'm bitter.

It would be a lot better for the fans if they would sit one of them at a time instead of sitting them all in the same game.

this nonsense needs to stop. The NBA is selling a product, the fans are consumers. You cannot advertise a product and then deliver something inferior to what you advertised.

This is what carries over when you let these prima donnas get away with that joke of an exhibition they put on at the ASG.

So did Pop start this or Kerr. I know Pop is infamous for doing this every year.

LMA has heart problems, Leonard has league mandated concussion protocol & Parker has a back problem...usually Spurs are guilty of resting for no reason but in this instance I don't believe it's the case.

IMO I think Silver should put in place a mandate that you can only rest players at home games as away fans pay huge sums to get one chance to see their favourite players in person and it would be crushing to find out last minute that they are sitting for no reason other then rest.

Doesn't this comment belong in the Sixers' thread?

I don't see any justification for a home game exception.

A great article on the subject of sitting players at times like this:

"Kerr's call to rest stars on back-to-back part of modern NBA reality"

Suck it up, do you even know why you are being paid millions of dollars? Part of it is because of the huge demand of the game on your body. Now you want to cheat the fans by taking the money and 'prolonging' your playing career. Kerr should be ashamed of himself. If he really thought this through why did he not sit the players yesterday instead of the Saturday game where many fans could have planned activities around the nationally broadcast Saturday game. That article was long and repetitive, did not say much. Basically states that the schedule is brutal, yeah we knew that, it subjects the players to the risk of injury, yeah we knew that too. Suck it up and stop cheating the fans.
