    Rest the injured players, keep everything else the same and play like you are still hungry. Carry that momentum into the playoffs.

    Rest players? And cede a home game to LaMarcia?! What is this place coming to? Let that man have nothing! We need to light them up and boo his sorry ass on every possession.

    Never rest healthy players. Could be someones only chance to see them in person. Maybe someone gave their tickets to a family at the Ronald McDonald house, or Star of Hope, or whatever. If you want to rest them, play them less minutes

    Crabbe, Dame, CJ all out tonight.

    We're actually fighting for the 15th pick, right now I think we're 17th, so I'm okay with this.

    Completely agree. I would never DNP a healthy player, and Pops is a dick for doing it. I would however let them get a sweat going and maintain some game rhythm, but limit their minutes.

    Ugh, resting both guards? I'd ask for a refund if I could.

    nice. Glad they're resting players.

    So what's our lineup? I hope layman finally gets a real chance. Give him 30 minutes. Give Quarterman a nice run as well.

    After the game (Saturday), coach Gregg Popovich said he's not going to rest his players the rest of the way, and also he wants to get his playoff rotation in order before the postseason.

    Pretty rude to assume no one is there to see Meyers Leonard and Chief.
