The NBA should stop that -- it's direct impact on the playoffs and the reason is 100% utter bullshit

rest -- for the last game of the season?

Sorry, they play. Especially given the Nets lottery pick doesn't even belong to them.

But how do you fix it? It's just as much of a problem in other sports. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 12, 05:02 10
- What I think is strange is the way NBA teams handle it. - Da5id Apr 12, 05:44
- And no, I don't see this happening in other sports -- a baseball player maybe takes of 5% of the games - Will Hunting Apr 12, 05:27 7
  - Carr didn't sit out of convenience, though. He had a broken leg and couldn't play. -- nm - Da5id Apr 12, 05:41 3
    - His injury is the type of reason though teams do sit players - Will Hunting Apr 12, 05:54 1
      - Oh, gotcha. -- nm - Da5id Apr 12, 06:00
    - a real man would have played. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 05:52
  - Don't baseball teams have a thing called "September call-ups" which increases the ability for teams to play younger players? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 12, 05:32 1
    - They do, but most of the regulars still play a lot of the games - Will Hunting Apr 12, 05:55
  - Well, the game is at the United Center, I'm sure someone can be called to drag them onto the court -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Apr 12, 05:32
- Simple -- for this given it's so asinine - refund every ticket. - Will Hunting Apr 12, 05:23
