    Injury luck is part of all sports. Quit hiding from that fact. Just play. Aim to get lucky. Rest only helps late in the season for healthy players. We have healthy players. Talk about resting in March and April. Right now it doesn't really do anything for tougher players. If they're not healthy now, don't push it now. If you're healthy, play. Rest for rest's sake is overrated.

    Never forget that you can rest guys and still end up injured. That's part of the equation too.

    Idk not every mins are worth the same effort.

    Thibs legit drove his players to the ground w/ heavy loads of mins. But he utilized an intensive defensive scheme. So i guess u can use that as an example of whats to come of heavy usage.

    U should take account of time wasted with harden walking it up

    Im not too worried, injuries can happen whenever and wherever. Being a worrier limits one full potential.

    Harden and tucker are grown men, im sure they know enough and if they arent worried, we shouldnt b either.

    Watching the game. MDA's dumb as* really took Thabo out of the game for Tucker after Thabo got 2 steals and some good fast break points. The Suns commentators were even making fun of him. This guy is such a clown. We're really going to have to waste a season until he gets fired, huh? But by that point, Tucker would've aged 5 years, and there might be some significant injury to the other players.
