    They are going to be rusty one or the other way......there is a longer resting period before the Playoffs and even in the later rounds.

    Yeah cuz no other team locked up their seed. OKC, Cavs, Boston rested their players.

    Stop b****ing about everything.

    Exactly so what is even your point? You want starters to play now, risk injury and then still be rusty in the playoffs?

    Other teams like OKC, Cavs and Boston also rested their guys. This isnt Rocket science.

    Incredible accomplishment

    There were only ~8 players in NBA history to average 25 points every season for 10 consecutive years circa 2010.

    None were named Jabbar or Wilt

    Lol.

    Resting all players for 2 weeks possibly make us out of game shape.

    This is always my arguments.

    Dont make up story.

    I don't know about you but if your 3rd stringers can't beat beat LeBron, Luka and Co we need to get rid of them. Completely unacceptable!!!

    Why does it matter if its 2 weeks or 1 week? If they get injured playing a meaningless game they would be out if playoffs not just out of shape.

    Remember when Amen got injured trying to get his triple double? Did you side with Ime on his decision to play Amen in a meaningless game? No you just kept complaining why Ime playe Amen in a meaningless game.

    Now you are on the opposite side.

    What story? CAVS and OKC rest their guys for two weeks and Rockets rest their guys for two weeks.

    You are the one lying you said you didnt see any other team resting their starters now you know Cavs and OKC rested their starters. Why are you lying?

    They will still rest for 1 week so your concern is BS.

    What is the difference of two weeks of not playing and 1 week of not playing? If you dont play for 7 days straight you are already out of game shape doesnt matter if you add 7 more days of rest.

    Even if they play now they will still rest for 7 days meaning they are still out of game shape in the playoffs.

    Sengun rests -> rests for 7 days -> out of game shape

    Sengun plays 40 mins -> rests for 7 days -> out of game shape

    Why is this so hard for you to understand???

    He's desperate to show something when he's out there, even more so than Cam. I understand why, but it's not a good look. I think he'd be much better if he would just slow down a little and play under control, but I'm not sure he has that in him. It's like he thinks every game he plays might be his last.

    Resting 1 week possibly get rusty, so it doesnt matter you rest 2 weeks or 3 weeks? Is that your logic? Lol

    We need to break out the ones on Sunday. They need at least a half of competitive basketball before the break.

    They arent resting 3 weeks they are resting 2 weeks.

    Yes that is my logic. Can you prove playing games now wont make them rusty after not playing again for 1 week? If you play now but sit out for 7 days why will that be different if you dont play for 14 days straight? Why will you have less rust if you dont play for 7 days vs if you dont play for 14?

    They arent injured they are still doing practices and plays off the court to keep in shape.
