So it seems as though Nellie is going to ride his horses until they collapse. Again.
Winless Warriors won't rest their frontline players
Quote:
Warriors coach Don Nelson has two choices when it comes to trying to win games with a depleted roster. He can grind even more minutes out of his overworked veterans, or he can go to his rookies and live with their mistakes.
It's one or the other, the coach insists, and he's making no apologies for choosing the former despite fatigue factoring into another Warriors defeat.
"That was a risk I took," Nelson said the day after Golden State blew a 22-point lead against the Pistons. "You look back after a loss for reasons, and I always look in the mirror first and see if I could have done something else.
"It was such a tight game. We were in it right until the end. I wouldn't have done it any other way. I wouldn't have played the young guys more. ... I would have taken my risk with the fatigue."

I raise the question again - so early into the season (and considering the layoff before the Pistons game), should any of our players really be suffering from fatigue?
