Pelicans aren't really that great tbh. They're .500 for a reason.

It just shows how back-to-back "exhaustion" is overblown.

There was an article debunking the claim that teams automatically play worse on a back-to-back.

That said, I'm all for resting players (which reduces the chance of an injury just for the simple fact you're playing less minutes) when your record justifies it. But the Spurs have already lost 10 games, 11 after tonight, and are facing a tough stretch of games. To me, I think Poop would want to maximize his chances of winning every game from here on out until we get a cushion.

Resting players should be record dependent. If we were sitting comfortably in a top 4 spot, I'd have no problem with Poop resting his guys to ensure full health going forward.

They can sleep for 12 hours and get back at it
