Just get two of these last four games. 55 is a nice number to get to.

Jabari Bird breakout game. These last few games are a fine delicacy for hardcore fans like us here. I expect a lot of the regular rotation guys get a lot of rest down the stretch

I really think we should try Tatum at PG for some extended time in some of these next 4 games.

Completely meaningless game, as our all of the reamaining ones. Get some rotations down, avoid injury, and rest key guys.

This game is actually worth winning for the BKN pick equity.

It sucks we can't even rest our players properly now that playoff positioning is all but wrapped up for us. We have way too many injuries to do that properly. I wouldn't be surprised if we see even more unique lineups & resting individual players a game here, a game there.

Let the Bulls win. Wish we had lost more earlier. Can't even help our pick.

My guess is one to two rotation guys sit out for each of the next three games. Then they play the final game vs Brooklyn like a tuneup game in the preseason.

I think Washington would be a better tune up game. They’re the only playoff team left on the schedule and will be fighting for seeding so they might as well get geared up for that level of competition.

Yeah Nader will beat Brooklyn and give Cleveland a higher draft pick.

We will get to see what might have been if we had listened to the experts and drafted Dunn.

I want to see the team win against the Bulls, Hawks and Wizards and drop the Nets game.

I have a fever and the only perscription is more Yabu.

Lets rest Horford for this one.

We'll probably see Yabs and Nader playing their tails off, in fear that Gibson may come in and get added to the playoff roster at their expense.
