Pop didn't. He wouldn't have sat three starters if he did.
Mind blowing we don't receive a fine for these rested players. Silver clearly doesn't give a toss any more.
You clearly missed the medical / availability report that teams submit. Or don't care that players returning from from surgery or major injury don't play back to backs. That covers Devin and Collins. Sochan said after yesterday's game he's not wholly pain free either. Tre tweaked his ankle again but gutted through it. Keldon's wrist still hurts, hence the brace.
There is zero reason to push players this late I to the season.
And Pop had the starters we had for this game back in late.
Either you don't know or don't care but impute motives either way.
IMO I don't care who it offends if it looks like we are tanking. Everyone does it because that's the way the draft is structured. We did it before and got Tim Duncan so FU to everyone who complains...
If Adam Silver doesn't like it, FU also. You're a big reason why teams tank.
As for us. I really don't think its an obvious tank like other teams. I've been sitting here for 69 games almost having a heart attack every night because we seem to come dangerously close to winning every game we freaking play.
Yeah I mean there's nothing the league would want or need to do given what our guys are out with, and given how competitive we are regardless of who we play. Just the implication that we are resting fully healthy players when they're bandaged, banged up, and grimacing, then talking about having to play through some things in interviews is a stretch. But league even allows for rest days of healthy players anyway and given everyone has a bigger role, they need it.
Love our compete level. Bodes well. Mamu's fitting right in!
