You’re getting paid millions of dollars a year, you can play the second half of a back to back.

"All the star players? "
Who is a star on that team besides Steph?

Probably because it's New Year's weekend, y'know, people are trying to squeeze in a few extra “off” days before Monday arrives and things resume back to normal.
You know, players are trying to enjoy the festivities with their family and friends, it kinda brings me back to what Draymond said about playing on Christmas, most players hate playing on that day because it shortens the time they have with their families, etc.

If GS beat Utah tonight it would be worth it. They need to win all gimme games to just make the play in.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH FORMER
PLAYER SAID IT
BUT I REMEMBER HIM SAYING
IF YOURE GONNA REST PLAYERS
DO IT DURING THE NON NATIONAL TV GAMES.
AMAZON PAYED ALL OF THAT MONEY
JUST TO WIND UP WITH PAT SPENCER
Playing old starters in a blowout/back 2 back against OKC just isn’t wise

Steph is old, I don't expect him to play back to back. Tim Duncan and the Spurs made it a common practice. It's really an easy fix for the NBA not to put a national tv game on a back to back for a guy nearing 40.

Man fukk them nikkas
College basketball kids playing like 4 games straight but nikkaz cry about a back to back
In The Zone '98

Stop it. They ducked OKC and then all suited up the very next night.
I went back and look at the bulls late 90s early schedules and u still had the main players playing back to back games
Bu bu but the players today are better conditioned and have better trainers but these nikkas still sitting out

they ducked OKC but the only one with a rest designation was Green and he ain't been an all-star in 4 years.
If anything, teams are trying to game the situation better by designating an injury they may actually have. They're just not gonna tell them to play through it on certain nights.

Not necessarily.
That can happen at any time.
As for "nikkas really playing a damn game for millions" BINGO! You just explained why some players do it. This generation of players will produce the most guys who played 17+ years in the league. That's an anomaly. AC Green, known as Ironman played 1192 games in a row and lasted 16 years, Anthony Davis, aka Street Clothes, is 2 years away from playing 16 years himself and there's gonna be like a 250+ game gap between the two. If Anthony Davis had to gut out even half that missed time, he'd be in the HOF right now because he woulda had to retire 3 years ago. Some players physically can't get through it, but if you're still paying me max money and you know how the play in optimal conditions, that carrot will still be there.
