Well, sitting up to sixteen players in a NBA game might look extreme. Even if it’s the end of the season, and it has become a widespread thing around the whole League this time of the year because losing teams don’t want to mess with their lottery odds and winning teams don’t want to mess with injury bug. Plus teams want to have their players rested for the battles in the playoffs. It’s especially demanding for us, the fans, because it leaves us watching games won by a 40, 50 or 60 point margin. Yea, the system has its flaws…
On the other hand, even if we forget for a moment about the tanking battle, there might be some good reasons for the Detroit Pistons not to fill the best roster for games like tonight’s one against Orlando Magic.
