The Spurs having been shutting down guys all year to keep them rested for the playoffs, but you can't argue with that strategy. The only one who ever gets screwed here is the season ticket holders who paid for games where the bench players get all the minutes. It all comes down to the big problem in EVERY pro league - THE REGULAR SEASON IS TOO DAMN LONG! Every sport, basketball, hockey, baseball, maybe football gets a pass because of playing once a week, is too long and gets boring. Why will it never get fixed? It's all about the money! Case closed!
