Steve Kerr says he will rest players instead of chasing Bulls season record

[madness]

The Golden State Warriors (55-5) are on course to break the single-season win record set by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, but the head coach of the defending champions isn't going to risk the health of his players to make history.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, Kerr said he will opt to rest players, if necessary, before the playoffs even if his team has a chance of winning 73 games and shattering a mark that has stood for 20 years.

"Resting, that will take precedence," Kerr said, per Yahoo Sports' Marc Spears. "We will rest guys if they need it before we will go for any kind of streak or record, that's for sure."

Are the 4th quarters of most games not enough?

I mean, Steph hasn't even played 4th quarters this season. Their backcourt's preetty young, so I think he might be talking about resting bigs, if necessary. With their offense and defense even their weird point-forwards get tired.

On top of that, they lost coming out of the All-Star break, and they've had two shoulda lost to the OKC. They're a momentum based team, I don't think resting would really help, the Splash Brothers anyways...Klay's been shooting poorly. They're a weird team that shoots better the more they shoot, so resting seems like an unlikely option.

But who knows Kerr gonna Kerr

They've been in a lot of tight games recently so they haven't had a chance to rest guys in the fourth like they have earlier in the year
