The NBA season of rest continues! According to Warriors media, the Golden State Warriors will rest Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bogut has been struggling with injuries this season and his entire career and the Warriors play 4 games in 5 nights this week, so it is ESSENTIAL for him to get rest.
Are the Warriors at the point where they can rest players? They are currently number 1 in the Western Conference, winning 5 games in a row, they can rest players to push in the playoffs. In the playoffs, especially in the tough west, it is all about matchups and Andrew Bogut will be essential against teams like San Antonio, Memphis and Los Angeles. His interior defense can really help them out.
Andre Iguodala is more of a mystery for me, because he doesn’t seem to be dealing with many injuries, but he is aging gracefully so some rest for the energy bench player is needed. Hopefully the Warriors can push their winning streak so we see what Draymond Green comes up with as a celebratory song.
