This resting shit is fucking ridiculous now

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Ok, no need to get on Lebron because we did that all season, but wtf is up with teams like the Nets resting their starters for the last game of the season? What are they resting for? They have a whole summer to rest? They are already locked in the worst record seed, so that is no excuse. This new NBA is ridiculous!!!

Lebron was 9th in minutes played...he deserves to rest

When you have guys in their 4th year resting it's a little pathetic

Plus he was on his period.
Nobody is talking about LeBron.
We're talking about teams that have all summer to rest that had a chance to eliminate a team that has kicked their ass all season.

Nobody is saying Nets would have won with regulars.
Heat had a great season that ended with a history making win.
Watch how your season ends.

The great Whiteside led them right to the lottery lol

If you say so, since we know you're a bit on the slow side.
I'll go with the 320 games that players missed due to illness or injury.
Should we have used our amnesty on him?

Thompson is in the playoffs, whiteside isn't

Lol

The Nets needed that rest though. They needed to sit on the bench and reflect on why they are so shitty so they can change their life outlook this offseason. Change comes from within!

I think there should be a limit to how many times a team can cite "rest" as a reason to sit a player down. Then they have to spread it out through the season, and use "rest days" strategically.

Then again... then they'd probably just use whatever ache/pain they're dinged up with most.

I don't know. Something has to be done. Resting guys is fine, but fucking christ... this is basketball, and you are f'ing the paying customer over. There has to be a limit to it.

IKR? I mean, the Mavs had Tony Romo resting the other night, too

You mentioned Lebron in your post as well

I Don't remember this resting stuff back in the 90s or even 6 years ago....Seems to either be the new thing, or they actually have always done this but now the media with its overreached arm of social media, etc. has just picked this topic out and has made it into a big deal.

It is certainly stupid regardless, these guys get paid millions to play the games. But at the same time, what is the point when everyone knows the outcome at this point is Cleveland/Golden State. We are all just waiting for June so this series can finally happen.

In a league of no parity this happens.

Why is the moronic cavs fan bringing up lebron and his sad little team again?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Thompson is in the playoffs, whiteside isn't

Lol

Cavs might win with Whiteside.
Tristan blows
