True they're saving minutes by sacrificing late-season minutes but they risk losing momentum (3-5 in April) going into the playoffs. What does it matter if they rest 2 games now but gain back what would have otherwise been a 4 game sweep with a 5-6 game playoff series?

Bickerstaff: who's up for kickball?!!
Ed Wood: Only if it's the no-pants variety.

Spo should have went the Pop route and rested his guys throughout the season and not at the tail end, but that's just me. They're the clear favorites to win it all unless proven/beaten otherwise.

Grizz were smart to bring him back there, I can't believe he's healthy with how broken down he looked in Miami. I kinda wish we brought him back, looks better than Webster FAH1223 wrote:LyricalRico wrote:Wow, in the span of a few minutes Dallas just went from 7th and having a chance to at least be competitive against OKC to 8th and likely being swept by the Spurs.
don't think they'll get swept, i hope they get a game.... but man that game was crazy
Mike Miller is shooting 55% from 3 since the All Star Break
OKC-MEM series looks VERY interesting to me.

I hate careless defenders. He's a careless defender. No effort. Steve Nash was bad but at least he tried on and could draw charges. Folks blow past him and he does that lazy swipe at the ball. He's not even guarding his man half of the time. Houston will never win anything as long as their superstar player plays defense like that.
It's just disgustingly bad. He's those guys you play with at the Rec and all he does is reach for a steal to get a dunk and if he doesn't he leaks out in case of a rebound to cherry pick

The Rockets broadcast team (Worrell, Bullard, and Drexler) all just say "someone has to play defense" without naming Harden.
McHale doesn't seem to give a crap.
Howard isn't going to call him out on it.
