This should be a win.
Sadly, it seems like we arent going to tie the all-time road record as our last several games are a b2b vs NYK and ORL, both of whom may be fighting for something at that point and I think we will rest the guys.

[ConstableGeneva]

Can't lose this, C's. No Fox and no Wemby. Nothing has changed, I still want to win every game, not that it matters in the big picture.

[FlyBono]

Lmao!
No need to play any of the top 8 players more than a quarter in any of the remaining games!
Break a sweat head to bench get ready for Round 1

Tatum was lucky
Should be an easy decision for management

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

The only thing I want to see is:
Tatum, Holiday, Horford and Hauser sitting.

And the wondrous Rico Ginobilli playing 25 minutes a game...

Tell you what I am tired of spelling out his long name in Scheierman. Today going forward I am joining the Group of posters calling BS, Rico!!

Would like to add Brown starts, plays 1 quarter to get him his 65 starts etc.. then let him rest his knees.

guess I'll swim against the current a bit here by saying I expect most of the Celtics to play, and to focus on continuing to build momentum towards the playoffs. If the normal rotation can put them away and rest in the 4th quarter, awesome, but got to earn that.

I see some strategic resting coming up, no doubt -- games against WAS and CHA stand out as opportunities for that -- but SAS still seems feisty, and is 5-5 in their last 10, and I doubt the Cs manage to keep either Jay out of this one

There is logic to what you say. But the only problem would be if Hoston coast to a lead and ends up having to play most of their starters deep into the fourth quarter.

Baylor Scheierman deserves 30 minutes in this one! Lets GO!!!!!!!

[Parliament10]

Let's Secure 2nd Seed, and then put it in Cruise Control.
Get ready for the Real Season.

Playoff Games, are like = 3 Regular Season Games, in one.

[ConstableGeneva]

Dunno the franchise record, but none of the Celtics champs in last 50 years have swept a road trip of 5+ games. This year's C's have a chance to do that by winning tomorrow night and in Memphis on Monday.

And I think the league record for best road win % is still on the line. C's need to sweep their last 4 road games to match the 2016 Warriors record.

Pritchard and Tillman are QUESTIONABLE. Everyone else is AVAILABLE. Tatum is back.

Horford joins the injury list as QUESTIONABLE. Peterson and Davison are OUT. Norris isn't listed which is weird.

Spurs have these guys OUT -- Fox, Wemby, Bassey, Duke Jr., Ingram, and Minix.

Oh, you saw a 6'10.25" guy? nice find!

This was the IG pic I was talking about. They're on their way to San Antonio here.

Horford and Pritchard have been ruled OUT. Horford's body double is AVAILABLE.

[Gant]

Norris is active for this one, though Peterson and Davison are out.

Scheierman should slip right into the Pritchard role off the bench.

[redslastlaugh]

I wish JT would take more time off after the ankle. We just dont need Tatum tonight in SanAntone...

[ConstableGeneva]

Just the 22nd game out of 74 with our regular starting five available. They're 15-6 so far and -13 in 320 minutes.
Last season, they played 37 games together, went 28-9, and were +150 in 623 minutes together. Then barely played together in the postseason lol.
