    They have been resting because the starters are playing like dog dodoo.

    Back on topic, I have been watching bb for too long to know that too much rest can actually cause harm to a team, so the decision to rest or not is a double-edged knife. Having said that I know Parsons is one player that could a few days off.

    Arriving at hotel at 4am, second night of back to back at altitude?

    I agree with KlutchQT's agreement. Especially the part where someone else eats crow if Rockets win.

    If we win 1 more we are locked in 4 seed? Or do we need to win 2 more?

    2 more wins for us, or 2 losses for Portland Trailblazers, or 1 win for us and 1 loss for Portland. I think that's how it goes.

    Has anyone seen Daniels' Instagram? Has he been called up to the team?? That would be so awesome. I would feel comfortable rolling with Canaan and Daniels off the bench.

    Hope Mchale will pull a Pops tonight. I don't want to see any of our starters playing more than 30mins for this game.

    LOL Daniels has literally never played NBA game outside of garbage minutes in that Pacers game. Calm down with the knee-jerk.

    No need to be butthurt.

    I don't think it's knee jerk. Canaan has been promising in the minutes that he's gotten and that's because Bev has been out. With the starters playing significantly less minutes in the next week, I think Cov/Troy can be able to capitalize on the opportunity.

    Because according to you, our bench depth is very "promising" for the playoffs. Yeah, I'm not too confident in Casspi/Dmo/Lin/Hamilton/Asik giving us that offensive push.

    However, if Canaan can, I think the other two show us something in the coming week

    Rest Harden and Parsons.

    Limited minutes for Lin, T.Jones, DMo and Asik(about 20-25 minutes each)

    majority of minutes go to canaan, garcia, omri, hamilton, covington, troy daniels, etc.

    Daniels and Covington play the same position as Garcia and Hamilton, basically we have 4 average to below average SF backing up for Parsons. Redundant. I would rather have 1 good, solid SF wing player backing up Parsons, like Wilson Chandler, Trevor Ariza, or even Mike Dunleavy Jr.

    I hope it's a win. We have to contain brooks and that euro-jack-ass-wimp that was draining 3s against us last game.

    It takes 5 for a megazord, right? So Murray will be controlling the head as he's the brains of the operation :cool:
