I don't wish anyone on the rival teams to sit out games against the Nuggets.

Feel so bad for Knicks fans. Really thought when healthy they were the 2nd best team in the East. Still think they can win a round if OG gets healthy but that's basically they're ceiling.

Mavs win, Kings lose. Still really close between 5th and 9th, but at this point it's hard to see Dallas not being the one to secure the 5th seed. The Kings are in Boston tomorrow, so that could be another loss. But Sacramento, New Orleans, and Phoenix all still play each other, so anything can happen there. 5 games left and nobody is locked into a seed from 1 to 10.
The Rockets made a good push with that 11 game win streak, but they're going to be all but eliminated after their blowout loss vs Golden State tonight.

Yeah, poor rockets. They looked pretty good, but kinda faceplanted after cutting the lead down to one game. Great example though of how big SOS is.

OKC lose again.
They don't seem to care about seeding at all.

OKC lose again. They don't seem to care about seeding at all. Good for us. Nuggets are a Wolves loss away from controlling their own destiny for the 1 seed again. |

yeah, OKC is strategically tanking their way out of the 1 seed. they don't want that Laker smoke.

Suns mauling the Twolves.
21-4 early.
Anthony Edwards whines on most drives. It's annoying.

When did "lots of rest" become a thing?
Stars used to always play 80+ followed by the play offs and looked just fine.
There is a good little break up until the first rnd of the play offs, which also has good rest days.
Isn't that enough? These are world class athletes.
I think "rest" is a legitimate argument btw. Just providing a counter argument as I personally think it's slightly overrated.

I would like Jokic to get more rest considering the load he has to carry is prime LeBron level and he is literally the opposite of prime LeBron athletically.

Last year when our starters got 2 weeks of rest and then destroyed everybody on their way Would they have not destroyed everybody otherwise? Jordan played 82 games every season and never looked tired in the playoffs. Same goes for dozens of superstars over the years. I just don't think the data backs up the notion that 'extensive rest' is critical. They have 4-5 days off at the end of the regular season. |

No reason why the Nuggets can't rest guys against Portland, SA and Memphis. Have to get the Hawks and T Wolves games though.
