Per Twiiterverse, Kyrie went through about 3/4 of practice and could play depending on how he feels tomorrow.

Yeah, apparently I missed the later tweets...

Should be a W without Butler and with Cs seeming to have hit their stride on offense.

It was never a doubt, like I said in the Chicago thread he just CBF playing against Chicago... it's like calling in sick at work because you can't be stuffed.

Was he legitimately hurt or did they just sit him to get rest?

13-14: 25-57
14-15: 40-42
15-16: 48-34
16-17: 53-29
17-18: 57 win pace

Under Brad Stevens

Pop is at 1200 wins over 22 years as HC, Brad is on pace for 223 wins in 5 seasons...

Rest is always needed especially with his knee, he's legitimately got an ongoing issue with his knee which is well documented. Rest was an added bonus this time.

Don't want to jinx us, but Cs (need to go > .500 rest of the way) are the only likely team to increase their win total every season since Stevens entered the league. Jazz would need to go undefeated the rest of the way to be the other team.

Stevens didn't/still doesn't have a Duncan-level player. In terms of regular season wins, I feel all the Brad-coached teams have exceeded expectations.

Good. That POS Harden said the same thing when we beat them and he got fined exactly 0 dollars for it.

We need this to clinch playoff sport, then a few more wins to clinch the 2nd seed and we can chill. Rest Horford and Kyrie and maybe play them the last 2 games to get them in rhythm.

Brad lost Tyler Zeller and actually got BETTER.

Some good matchups tonight:
Towns vs. Horford
Jaylen vs Wiggins

and best of all:
Rozier vs Crawford

Odd signing. Didn't Rose and Butler clash? Thibs taking lessons from the Doc Rivers school of GM'ing

Home court advantage would be nice but the most important thing is being healthy for the playoffs. If we have to drop a few games making sure players like Kyrie and Horford are 100% I'm all for resting them and anyone else who needs it.

Agreed, but it would be really nice to challenge for that #1 seed. But I am fine with resting Kyrie/Al when we play the tanking teams like the Bulls, Magic, Kings, and Suns.
