    So nobody is playing in the ABC game between the Spus and Warriors.

    ABC has to love this.


    No Curry, Green, Thompson and Igoudala for G.S. No K. Leonard and possibly Parker out for S.A.


    Amazing for G.S. to do this with these two teams so close in the standings.

    Hope networks negotiate a right to cancel clause in next NBA tv contract. This is the issue with so many games and every team making playoffs. Individual games don't matter even in the slightest. All a team has to do is be able to get into playoffs. Good teams have no reason to play tough in regular season games. Spurs been doing this for years.

    I do think Kerr is doing it on purpose to show there's a problem.

    Why didn't he sit his players against Minny if they were tired???

    So does GSW get a $200K fine like the Spurs did a couple seasons back when they sat their stars against the Heat?

    No, Spurs got fined for Pop sending players home without permission. As long as healthy Warriors sit on the bench in street clothes, they did nothing illegal.

    They may as well rest all of the players and bring in their D league teams for this game.

    The line is probably too high. Butttt, GS is going to have a lot of rotation issues with basically their starting 5 out. Kind of means their last guy on the bench gets 15 mins. The Spurs will only miss Leonard and Aldridge(pretty deep at pg with Mills and the rookie who's name escapes me). And yes the Spurs have a better bench and they have played a lot of mins together this year so I don't see the Spurs missing much of a beat.

    Keep in mind the warriors can beat the spurs without home court advantage. So being healthy is priority. The spurs can't beat state without home court let alone with it.

    Hey babe, just wanted to help out here, that sentence doesn't really make sense I think you meant, "The Spurs can't beat State with home court advantage, let alone without it."

    I know you're a busy professional handicapper (nobody better besides Wizzle), and you don't have time for grammar or dumb stuff like that, but I just figured I'd help you out brother

    I love all the TV analysts that are sh1tting on the Warriors for being such pussies. Modern athletes are such trash, don't ever tell me any of these teams could beat Magic's Lakers, birds Celtics or Jordan's Bulls

    Thought the same thing. Kerr is pissed about something --either the shitty officiating against the Wolves, or more than likely this crazy road trip the Warriors have been on. Either way, he is definitely making a statement.

    Interesting game-theory:

    * Pop saw that Kerr was tanking, so he knew that he could semi-tank and still win.

    I find it hilarious that grown ass men playing a fukin game 4 times a week, for 30 minutes a night, have to sit out to rest. Most of them are in their 20s or early 30s and have the highest quality of life with all the best doctors and specialists at their hand and foot. Yet it is too tough to play a full 80 game season. If that doesn't scream "I am a grade A pussy", I don't know what does.

    Stopped watching this garbage years ago. NHL players take a slap shot to their face and they're out a few shifts later.

    He played them against Minny because he thought they could win that game. He didn't want to risk them not getting rest AND losing a game to the Spurs.

    Still, the NBA is full of pampered pussies. These guys tank more games than women's tennis.
