On the NBA Beat Ep. 2.26: Rest for the Weary in Today's NBA - a podcast by Lineups

Resting healthy starters is not exactly a new phenomenon, as LeBron James recently pointed out; heck, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has been doing it for more than a decade. However, there hasn't been a time in NBA history where the practice has stirred up such a high level of controversy and discontent. The panel aims to explore the issue from the perspectives of the commissioner, NBA coaches, current and former players and, of course, the fans. Be sure to get your rest in advance of the stretch run (we won't blame you for taking care of yourself), but don't sleep on this episode. Just don't do it.Music: "Who Likes to Party" by Kevin MacLeodLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
