Portland resting players....

[toxicxr6]

Not really a big fan of this... Being top of the division has guaranteed a top 4 seeding.. They are going to concede 2nd and 3rd seed by the looks of it in order to rest players for the playoffs.. Now if the had a superior record like the Warriors i would not complain.. Warriors are in a position that they have earned which the reward is having the option to rest players right before the playoffs.. Portland have not.. They are just benefiting from playing in a week division. Their record puts them right in the mix where the other teams are fighting for seedings.. And portland night end up with the 6th best record in the west and being a 4th seed...
Hope the nba gets rid of this division leaders guarantee top 4 seed..
If portland was still fighting with their best available roster it wouldn't be an issue but resting players in this circumstance sucks

No biggie this time of the season...

Hitting the playoffs rested is more important than their overall record when it has no bearing on the seeding.

It's not Portland's fault the others teams in their division suck

Giving up home court tho

Maybe they are trying to avoid certain matchups.

Portland has the 3rd best home record in the league... so resting players and possibly losing HCA is risky business.

don't care they're resting. Care who tgryre resting against.

how? Theres no way to even tell whos playing who in the first rd. Looks like they care more about resting players than HC in the first round....

why do they choose to rest against the nets out of all teams

NCAA Finale?

Right, but why is there a game at all then?

I don't understand why the radio people today where acting like the Blazers had no chance at homecourt so this game didn't matter. Make 0 sense.

By the way Steve Blake deserves to sit on the bench for the rest of his Blazer stay. I'm done with this guy. In the most crucial moment of the game he throws the ball over his head not looking and it goes right to a Nets player. This guy is a f*cking retard.

Because scheduling games is ridiculously hard but they were able to fit in an early East Coast game.
