    All GS starters are resting tonight.

    A great game 2 weeks ago is now a snoozer.

    Think Warriors trying to hide their game plan against the Spurs in a possible WCF matchup?

    If SA has the best record overall in the NBA, you can say bye-bye to Harden's MVP chances.

    And Leonard and LMA are out for the Spurs. Who the heck is actually playing?

    Hopefully both teams get in a brawl and the bench scrubs that will be playing all get suspended.

    That is so lame!!! These guys make millions and can't play a back to back. That's ridiculous, especially considering their ages. You wouldn't see Harden and Beverley resting when they could pull out a win against someone on their behind in this race to the playoffs. No way! Their fans should be screaming about this one.

    Either way, we'll have to beat them both to get to the Finals.

    But I want to see Blazers vs Spurs and Thunder vs Warriors in the first round. So yeah, I hope the Spurs get the top seed.

    Indeed. Lame.

    Funny thing, I betcha a million bucks that if Houston was involved, neither of those teams would rest anybody against us. It must be the color red or something.

    This is taking resting players too far. Popovich is playing 4 on 5!

    to be fair to steph,klay,iggy,draymond it looks like it was all steve kerr's decision.

    iggy and curry seem to be frustrated about possibly losing the 1 seed over this. Did you hear iggy's racially charged comments about the situation? I don't think he's happy about it

    I hope that decision comes back to haunt them all. Glad they lost!

    SAS.

    Our issue has been for settling for bad 3 point shots instead of making the extra pass. McHale wasnt wrong... the ball gets sticky.

    What the Rockets should have done was rest the players when we were playing a congested schedule which led to many Rockets losing games. Pop and Kerr doesn't care about prime-time game, they care about winning at the end. Seriously, D'Antoni needs to rest Harden or he won't endure the June games. Blame the NBA for putting so many back-to back games which led to this new type of coaching.

    I think the Rockets could beat either team in a best of 7 series, regardless of health. I'm more worried about the party pooper teams that could prevent us from getting that chance.

    I'd much rather face the Warriors. Durant will be coming back from an injury and bev has a chance at swiping curry's legs again. Don't forget the Warriors are nowhere as deep of a team this year as they were last year. San Antonio and Memphis scare the living begeeses out of me. They are deep, stacked with Vets that shine during the playoffs and are good at every position. They are consistent and fundementally sound. They also play great D and have a real tough front court to muscle through. On golden state... besides Igudala and green, Zaza is the only guy i worry about because he might land on harden's knees.

    It doesn't matter because I don't see us beating either team in a 7 game series.

    True, but perhaps playing them early gives us a better chance with the Durant health and chemistry an unknown.

    Well Golden State should have sucked up that one, because it could be a difference maker. Resting against a weaker team would have been smarter. The poor people who forked out money to fly for an away game and support must have been sick.
