It doesn't seem fair to put New York through this again. Should we let them forfeit and move onto the next one?

It’s a meaningless game, they’ll win.

BOS: Tatum, Brown, and Porzingis are QUESTIONABLE. White and Holiday are PROBABLE. Horford is OUT (1st night of B2B)
NYK: Brunson and McBride are PROBABLE. Hukporti is OUT.

What does a JT/JB/Al/KP-less lineup look like?

White/Jrue/Hauser/Craig/Kornet?

Thank goodness Maine lost the G-league playoffs lol.

I wouldn't worry about it. Tatum's playing unless he's really hurting (nothing's been reported). Knicks still don't know how to defend JT's high PnR with Kornet so good luck, KAT/Brunson.

[Jellybeans]

Why they keep putting KP as ilness as if his face isnt damn swollen from that elbow with some black eye.Atleast it looks like it after looking at insta pictures from teams account

[FlatearthZorro]

So, 2 games to get to 60 wins. Hopefully they make it, but it kinda doesn't matter at the same time.
When I previously checked the schedule, @NYK and @ORL were our hardest games left(yet we lost to MIA at home, lol), both could be losses as they do not matter at all. Last 2 games are vs CHA, if we can win both, still a 60 win season.

[Parliament10]

Q: You know what it tell me, when the NBA can play essentially it's last 10 Games (per Team), and it doesn't matter much for the seeding?

A: There's too many Games.
__________________________

The NBA has transformed into a really grueling Game; over the decades, and over the last 10-12 Games, each Season.
The Players are Bigger, Stronger, and there's more of them.

We need to go down to 72 Games. And increase the Preseason. Let Owners recoup some of their money there.
While also giving Players more Lead up and Practice time.

It will also be good for fringe Players, and the G League.
They can even have a Preseason Championship, to spice things up.

[Fierce1]

Will the Cs even try to win this game?

NY and ORL are both possible playoffs opponents, for what that's worth.

Have you looked at the standings in the West recently?

[lon3lytoaster]

Selfishly I just want Tatum to play and have a 60 point triple double. I need a distraction.

[Jellybeans]

Again one of the last games of the season is against Knicks.
Lost last season and they where really really happy

[ConstableGeneva]

Of course I still want them to win all four remaining games. But if they're gonna put in their effort to win just two, I hope it's these two road games. Match NBA record for most road games. Maintain the historic point differential on the road. Make Knicks fans cry and put a potential 1st round matchup in their place.

[bisme37]

Cavs have Bulls tonight and Chicago is resting Giddey, White, Vucevic and Huerter. Lame.

Edit: Mitchell out for Cavs

Everyone's AVAILABLE except Horford.

Looks like Brown and Holiday should be OUT, too?
Why are they fighting to play these last Games. Get Healthy.

TBH, Regular Season, we only need 3 of our Top 6. And/Or 4 of our Top 8.

[doogie_hauser]

I just want us to beat the Knicks again. Esp at MSG in front of Ben Stiller and Larry David again (and I love both of those celebs btw !)

Another 40 point game for Tatum ?
