Summary

Last night the Portland Trailblazers did not play Damian Lillard, or Jerami Grant against the Kings. The reason given by the Blazers was rest. Rest? The team just had off for more than a week due to the all-star break. What a disgrace! On today's episode I discuss load management including comments from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver from this past weekend in Salt Lake City. I'm not buying it, and neither are many others.
