I think what the league should do is try to collaborate with teams and find better times for them to rest players.

For example, a couple weeks ago when GS rested their entire team on the second night of a back to back, the consensus was that it was a smart move and the team needed rest.

BUT, why that game? Why not rest them on the Friday night against the TWolves instead of the nationally televised showdown against the Spurs on the following night? A little proactive planning could help solve at least some of the issues. Fans attending games are still SOL, but let's face it, TV revenue is more important to the league anyway. TV games should boast full lineups, or as close to it as possible.
yah....

how about they dont schedule national TV games on the 2nd night of back to backs for the star players?-- that prob. elminates at least half the problem riight there.

I don't mind it. Season's long, you're going to need to rest your players to keep them fresh.
