The Spurs are sitting pretty right about now.
They’re currently 59-17, having already clinched the division and the second seed in the West. Essentially, if the Spurs wanted to rest their starters the rest of the way, they could do that and not lose any ground in terms of seeding.
However, instead of resting the entire unit, head coach Gregg Popovich is systematically resting some of his starters, while playing others, making sure the continuity continues into the playoffs.
The Spurs' final 6 games come in a span of 10 days. "I think we need to manage it wisely," said Pop of resting/managing mins down stretch.
