Coach Mike D'Antoni is considering giving Steve Nash prescribed rest, and general manager Mitch Kupchak added that Nash should play less minutes this season. "He's 39 years old," said Kupchak. "You can't play a guy like that 35, 40 minutes a game. I don't know what the number is. I don't know if it's 25, 28, 31 [minutes], but I think we have some players we can go to and give him a rest." Nash added, "I think 30 minutes and above is kind of similar territory. I mean, what's the difference between 30 and 34 and 32 [minutes]? Nash may be able to debate his way into more minutes than Kupchak is thinking, and we have him somewhere between 27-30 minutes per game when he's not resting.
