It'll be interesting last week of the season, the Spurs and Warriors play each other twice then....seeding will likely be in play, but then what about resting guys right before the playoffs?

Spurs don't care about seeding as we saw last year. They'll rest their older guys at least in the final week. They don't care about having the top seed.

The Hawks thought it was a good idea last year also....turned out great for them

And I'm not salty. I'm just stating the obvious. I would feel the same way if Miami did this to any player outside of Wade even back when we had Lebron. This resting garbage so far in advance of the playoffs makes me sick

There is a reason only Warriors fans don't see an issue with resting Green in January.

Well it's not JUST rest. He does have a small injury that you would play through if the games were important right now. It's to let him heal up rather than risk making it worse. Again, if you think you know more than the people who do this at the highest level for a living, good luck with that.

Good for the Ws then. Maybe they shoulda cared a bit more about seeding so they wouldn't have been at what, 7 last year?

Pop ain't gonna show all his cards this early in the season. Would love to win this game but it doesn't matter in the long run.

They were the 6....If not for stupid NBA rule they could have easily been a top 4 seed.

Knowing Pop, he'll rest his guys anyway. The Spurs don't really care about HCA.

Rudy Gay game winner with .6 seconds left after the Kings choked a late lead against the Jazz.

I think it's okay to rest guys if they are the lifeblood of your Team, fragile or oft-injured.

Draymond is just as important to that team as Curry is so in this case it is understandable. Plus, he tweaked his ankle a game or two back so yea, he needed to rest.

No need to get salty. Obviously the Warriors, who know 10x more about basketball than you do, think this is a good idea. This is what they do for a living.

On the other hand, Draymond himself really wants to play and is nagging them to let him.
Exactly....

Maybe if Spo would've rested LBJ periodically - who was doing all the heavy lifting while Wade was resting - then he might not have felt like a horse with dead weight on his back & would still be in Miami. Maybe, just maybe that is plausible.

Couldn't agree more...

Spurs not getting any calls at all. Typical.
I am by far NOT a Spurs fan, but goodness! LBJ was just pushing Parker & Manu to the side every time they were guarding him. Come on, fair is fair and these refs don't EVER want to call fouls on LBJ.

Warriors down 16 at the half
Which Warriors starter isn't playing tonight? I want to be ready for the injury excuse if the Pistons hold on for the win.
