I can't believe resting players is legal. People pay the ticket to see the best out there. If you aren't legitimately injured, maybe you have to play a minimum number of minutes as a star player?

Resting as it has become today has become pretty rediculous. There's actually guys sitting that have no busy resting these days. Ü have losing teams resting guys. For what. That makes no sense
Why are Lebron's teams so terrible without him? Meanwhile, the Spurs seem to play well regardless of who sits or how many sit.
Thunder go all out against the Rockets but only play their bench against the Blazers, their inner-division rival. Funny to see who they prioritize trying against.
I pray if Rockets don't get the 6th seed, I hope the Blazers do and clobber Thunder in the playoffs. It would be hilarious.
I wish they would've rested against the Nuggets and played the Blazers full strength. They should want to play the Grizzlies over the Blazers in the playoffs. Their choice though.
