He could have probably used the rest earlier on this recent road trip. It obviously must have been hurting him then.
Bitter sweet. I want him to rest but it's playoff week in fantasy basketball and I have him and LeMarcus. Shaft.
I smell a Spurs-esque Dwight Howard "out indefinitely" until the playoffs. Won't be surprised to see either Parsons or Harden go out some games with "injury".
The way Asik sets a screen, makes Parsons, Lin and of course Harden so much deadlier. Asik's screens make up the difference between him and Howard and then some.
I think you're right. If Dwight Howard played exactly like Asik the team would be better. Dwight is 28. He's 6'9. He gets shutdown in the post by larger stronger guys all the time. Especially in the big games. McHales needs to put his footdown and tell him to play like Asik. Defensive, rebounds, and screens. And he will get about 12 points a game on easy lob dunks and putbacks.
Hopefully we experience Spurs-esk playoff run as well. A CF run would be awesome. 6 games in the 2nd Round should be the absolute minimum.
That's not Spurs-esque. The Spurs sit their players for 1-2 games here and there, not for over a month. It would be something like: "James Harden - DNP Beard"
