    Doesn’t really matter what the record is. I’m wanting to see them put together a good game and have a chance to win at the end. That is usually the goal on the road.

    Yeah either make a real punishment for resting players or just let them do their load management stuff and be quiet about it. How about if they load manage a guy, consider it a suspension if they cant prove it was due to injury or whatever. When the player is losing a game check, but they’ll be more apt to want to play.

    I don't even like taking it that far. If the Clippers wanted to rest Kawhi for all 82 regular season games without an injury, they should be able to do so. If I was in the Clippers front office or on the coaching staff, the only thing I would care about this season is making sure that Kawhi and PG are healthy headed into the playoffs. They gave up their entire future to win a title in the next couple years. If they think load managing those guys 20+ games this season gives them the best chance to do so then it's kind of the rest of the NBA's fault for not being competitive enough to where resting them that many games doesn't impact their ability to make the playoffs. The Blazers certainly don't have that luxury.

    If anyone says anything about the NBA losing money when stars don't play, Kawhi literally kept people on the edge of their seat for a week wondering where he was going to go in July when the season isn't even going on. Having PG join him in LA was huge publicity for the league.

    I just don't agree with the premise of forcing teams to play players they want to rest. What happens if Kawhi played last night because the NBA forced him to and he blows out a knee?
