While other teams are fighting for playoff spots hopefully the C's can spend the remaining games fine tuning our bench, and our potential playoff rotations (and giving the starters more rest time).

That's a Great strategy. Probably also working on Porzingis and Pritchard getting Isolated, on Defense.

I wonder if they're really injured or if this is just OKC playing games.

Shocked, I expected a full strength OKC team tonight. I think C’s should dress everyone and make the rest of the season a formality with a win tonight.

They're injured. They were out last night too and the Thunder are trying to get the 1 seed so it's bad timing for their two best players to be banged up.

All I really care about is getting to the end of the season healthy. That said winning all the games would be nice as well, especially this one.

Nobody felt bad for the Celtics when Tatum sprained his ankle in game 7 of the ECF (and Brogdon played the entire series injured). Nobody felt bad for the Celtics when the lost the finals because Timelord wasn't 100%. Nobody felt bad for the Celtics when Boston was decimated by injuries and they had to start Langford, Fournier and a washed up Tristan Thompson in an elimination game. So I don't care if other teams don't show up at full strength, it's their problem.

Think about my precious SRS and net rating. That is the END GOAL. Beat the 90s Bulls and the 70s Bucks.

I know I'm old because every time I hear the name Springer, the first thing that comes to mind is "When did Boston sign Jerry Springer"????

Lose-lose situation. Can't lose since they're on B2B and missing two best guys. If we win, it's gonna be invalidated anyway and we still haven't won against a healthy elite team with Middleton playing.

So just play well and play the right way in prep for playoffs regardless of circumstance. It is what it is. More to life than just sports. We need superstars.

I'd say recruit Gordo, sign him to the minimum, and help Brad win his 2nd NBA title but then will he be okay playing behind Sam Hauser?

I think you missed the point. Nobody here cares about other teams or their bad luck.

My concern is that we are going into the POs after playing 25-30 lacluster opponents ...iron is not sharpening OUR iron
