If Houston had WON that game last year, we would have dropped from 3 to 5. Much harder to win from the bottom half of the draw. I can only think of that one Rockets team that did it. I think you MUST be in the 1-3 seeds and healthy. If either one of those conditions aren't met, you're ed.
Look, I'm not saying don't sit them sometimes on B2Bs. I just think it's silly to automatically sit Tim and Manu on every B2B when it may not be necessary. I think you evaluate the B2B, and what's around it on the schedule in terms of rest or other games, and then you make your decision. I just think it's playing scared and possibly sacrificing games unnecessarily to sit them JUST because it's a B2B. I also think you vastly overestimate the win % without Tim those 17 games.
