re: Plane issues again, Pels didn’t land in Indy until 5 am

You aren't wrong, but punting a game this late in the season when you're only a game and a half out of the 8th seed seems like a pretty questionable decision.

Could not agree more

If healthy, they should play.

We should not be resting non injured dudes at this point in the season imo.

I've consistently said for two years now that you aren't in a position to rest guys in today's NBA. At least the Pelicans aren't. I mean last year we were what, two games away from not even having to participate in the play in. The margins in the NBA are too thin for rest, especially now.

I get this perspective and I don’t disagree in principle, however considering this will be our 5th game in 7 days and we play this game again in 2 days and we are already thin with injuries and suspensions, I could understand it for tonight. Especially with the plane issues, maybe rest tonight to try and get a win Friday rather than play tired tonight and Friday and lose both.
