Yeah
Weirdly Dwight's whole career people have been saying "He isn't Shaq/Wilt/Olajuwon"
I don't know why that always happens with centers. People have this thing about talking down big men.

Rest isn't directly correlated to titles though.

Why else are they resting? Only one out of 30 teams wins a title, being such slim odds, you have to take any and all measures you can to put you in the best position to win
Missing a handful of regular season games isn't going to re-write history

That's the reasoning for resting but it doesn't correlate directly. Let's take the Spurs for example who really started this whole thing back in 2012. Pop had been reducing Duncan's minutes in previous seasons, but really didn't start going full blown troll (sitting his entire big 3) until that game with Miami. These are their playoff results:
2012- L Conference Finals
2013- L Finals
2014- W Finals
2015- L 1st Round
2016- L 2nd Round
2017- TBD
So they only made it to the championship round twice for all the rest their guys got. And that is somewhat more understandable with Duncan and Ginobli being older players. There are other mitigating factors such as matchups, injuries, etc. that have as much as and even more an effect on who wins and loses than somebody sitting out a February or December game. There's a medium that can be had here.
Also another thing about Bron sitting out and saying he needs rest. There have been at least 5 or 6 games I've watched this year where the game is in hand early in the 4th, yet he's still out there playing 40+ minutes padding stats or whatever. If he was so concerned about rest, why is he still in these so dubbed meaningless contests putting unnecessary mileage on his body?

So because resting doesn't automatically guarantee a title, it means teams should do it less?

Well I don't like lebron but he has a point, old nobody shouldn't be randomly talking about his kids when lebrons never even mentioned his name let alone knew he existed
I'm sure you'd be pissed too if some guy was talking **** about your kids and you never even seen the guy

The point of my post was that you do everything you can to put yourself in the best position. Nowhere did I say it can guarantee anything my brethren
May not have direct correlation but again, not having direct correlation isn't re-writing history books. So, my point is it's worth sitting the players. It doesn't hurt to sit them

Lavar ball is as pathetic as mr. Hercules in the dragonball z mangas.
Big talk and ignorant.
When he claimed he would have beaten MJ one on one or that his son Lonzo would beat Curry I don't know whether i should facepalm or do ROFL.
If you hype someone that much don't cry in case you fail hard.

Jay Williams had a nice little story on Krause on PTI. Krause didn't have to help Williams after the accident but he did anyway, you can tell it made a huge impact on Williams... he was battling some demons back then tooLejose canseco out here tryna get everybody indicted. I see you playa.

It doesn't necessarily help them either. Again with all the resting of players last season, we had one of the worst playoffs in recent memory. So the product wasn't actually any better or more competitive because of it.
There's literally no reason for Kawhi to be sitting down games in the prime of his career when he's already only averaging 34 minutes a game. And it's starting to trickle down to teams who don't even have a shot at the playoffs ala the Kangz from a few weeks ago.
Doesn't even correlate to better performance in the regular season. Dubs rest their guys then almost lose to the Sixers the next game. Cavs rest vs the Dippers and are in a dogfight vs the Lakers.
There are no back to backs or 4 games in 5 nights in the playoffs, in fact outside of the conference finals which are every other day, there's at least a day off sometimes 2 between playoff games. And the Finals sometimes 3.
