Of course they are. I was joking at first about the league colluding to make us lose our pick, but now I'm starting to wonder.
Who is stopping us for resting players? Booz, Lin, Hill... they all worked hard this season and need to rest.
Atlanta rests players all the time. Budinholzer or whatever the coach's name is comes directly from Pop's school of coaching. It's not unique and Atlanta still wins most of their games.
This is about as bad a day can get for our tank. Magic playing Cavs, Wolves playing Spurs, Hawks resting guys. If we win tonight it IS as bad as it gets.
Add Teague to the resting list. This has the potential to be the nail in the coffin for the tank. Lose the pick and lose hope for the future, and I have 0 confidence that Byron will make the right choices. He's talking about starting Lin down the stretch for crying out loud! If anything Lin, Hill, Booz, and Wes should be glued to the bench.
All we can hope for is that the basketball Gods look favorably upon us for not actively tanking and trying to throw games in hopes keeping our pick...but we need to get the 2nd worst record to ENSURE we keep the dang pick!!!
ATL is resting everybody; I'm wondering if GS is going to do the same things to us when we play them...
I quoted this to say add a "love" to my "like" of what you said. This is the worst possible time to have Byron be d***ing around like this taking it down to the wire every frickin' game if he can. And then blasting the players when they lose.
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina · 36m36 minutes ago Hawks will sit Teague, Carroll and Millsap tonight I believe Korver and Horford are still playing...
Mike Trudell ✔ @LakersReporter Hawks starters w/t 3 regulars sitting: Dennis Schroder (for Teague); Kent Bazemore (for Carroll); and Pero Antic (for Millsap).
you have to be kidding me with this. I had atl penciled in as a loss. then they sit three guys and korver gets hurt. are teams in cahoots to screw the lakers out of their pick? you bastards already got the new cba and the paul veto. now you're getting greedy.
