    We've had an easy January and February schedule.

    The good thing is that in March, teams are going to rest stars for the playoffs and other players are dinged up or disheartened by their contending chances.

    Let's not forget the geographical location denying top tier stars from wanting to be in the great North West.

    That is a Popovich idea. I think teams striving for higher seeds will give their stars extended minutes as their berths are revealed. Teams cast to the last two spots may be content to just join the dance and entertain the rest idea.
    For example: Who really wants to play GS or Toronto in the first round.? Once a team in the top two seeds capitalizes and wins on the opponents court, count the round in favor of the dominate seed.

    The schedule is going to get easier if we want to tank.

    If you want to make the leap to an elite team, you need to feel like you belong in the conversation....a competitor wants to play Golden State and Toronto and they should....MJ or Kobe didn't fear any matchups....I don't think Dame does either. Pride.....we have guys who show pride.
