People just can't understand/accept that the NBA Today is not the same NBA of when you were growing up.
Rest is more respected today than it was before.
Teams believe (and claim they have data supporting) that rest is beneficial for the long term well being of their players.
The mindset of the player/coach/gm is different today vs. YesterYear.
It isn't always as simple, "Dudes today are soft."
That is the easy explanation.
But instead of digging deeper into it and discussing WHY people are resting so much these days, we make it out to be this machismo thing.
So again, it is a different day. DIFFERENT. Not right. Not wrong, just DIFFERENT.
But people don't want to accept that.

This is true as well, but of course "they" will find a way to disqualify this TRUTH.

And the effects of lack of rest/sleep have been studied to a greater level than it was before. So yes, "these guys need extra rest" based on what these teams feel THEIR players need.
Again, you are REFUSING to even acknowledge that there is another side of the argument.

He deserves rest. He really does man. As hard as he goes each night. But dude is a damn machine. But they can't AFFORD to rest him.
Which is another reason why I wish yall would stop saying, "Westbrook doesn't rest, so why should LeBron/Steph." Well because his team would lose every game he sat out. And they already know they aren't going anywhere, so why would they sit him?
OKC and CLE/GSW are in two different places

He has always been emotionally unstable and unable to argue actual POINTS when in a debate. That has always been his shtick. Notice how little he has actually said about the actual TOPIC.

Yea, LeBron is soft.
Like I just want you dudes to understand this whole discussion is about LeBron, just masked under the title of, "Resting Players."

Trevor Ariza is not 27 years. He’s 31 with his 32nd birthday right around the corner. He’s playing in his 13th NBA season and like Harden has missed one game over the past three seasons. In that span, he’s the name directly below Harden’s in total minutes, one of just two other players with 8,000 minutes of floor time (John Wall is the other) over the past three seasons.

Of course. One is a HOFer, the other was a bench player.

Looking back, I see Philly traded Elfrid Payton and a "future first round pick" to Orlando for DarioDario the real MVP
"Boris Diaw"
What else became of this for Orlando?

It is a decision that affects more than can be seen, it's eternal.
That LAC win that they were handed will be the difference (good for some teams bad for others) in seeding for Playoffs.
As of now there is plenty of Season left but just for short, OKC would be #5 and set to face Utah 1st round, if LAC wasn't gifted that win.
Instead, they are set in the #6spot and will face Houston.
All of this will change but the point is, one decision does affect more than just the team making the decision, and when it is a FOUL decision from Jump, it amplifies the issue to me.
