If I'm reading this correctly, we won't have Kemba for late part of the 3rd and whole of the 4th, no matter the score by then.

We won't catch Toronto with a 3 game lead in 8 games to play. Just don't see it happening.
At the end of the day, we have to go through Toronto and Milwaukee anyways regardless of the order. Only game I'd really play to win would be the Miami one, just to maintain the cushion we have over them for the 3rd seed, which should gst us a matchup with the Sabonis less Pacers. But it shouldn't be too difficult keeping that third seed anyways.
I agree there no point going for 2nd, but we still have to play make sure we lock that 3rd spot down. Who knows if we get unlucky by playing it safe, miami snatches up that 3rd. We are only 2.5 games ahead. That game against the Heat would be big.
Yea if we beat the Heat we will be 3.5 ahead, which is really 4 because of the tiebreaker(if that will even count now idk anymore).. 4 games ahead with 7 to play is a wrap.
♣ A new dawn will rise in Boston. #StayLoyal ♣ THANK YOU TRUTH! ♣

Rare sighting. 17 guys are available to play. I wonder who they'll list as inactive (is that still a thing in the bubble?).
Kemba of course on 18-20 minute restriction.

This is the game that should have restarted the season. This Jazz/Pelicans game is so meh. I turned it back to House reruns.

I know the current fanbase temperature is that we're pretty fringe as contenders go. I'm not going to go to war against that at this moment, but, I do believe that we can beat anyone on any given night.
So, I wanted to give a reminder of how good we can be at our best. Here's a repost of RealGM reactions to our double OT thriller against the Clips back in February.

I don’t understand w kembas minute restrictions why they can’t adjust it as the game goes and dictate when he gets those minutes as long as overall he doesn’t go over the allotted time.

I'll pay attention to it, not sure what my expectations are right now but I guess we'll see what happens.

Could be an interesting taster for the playoffs.
I think we stand a far better chance against them in this bubble scenario than we would have in a usual series on the road for sure. Likewise against Toronto, although on the flip side it will be much harder to knock out Philly I imagine now.

If we don't win our 18th banner in the next 8 games, I'm done with this franchise. Fire Danny!
He can't draft and he's too cocky.
Good assessment:

Oh and I forgot but Rob Williams is our dark horse. During the season, when he was in his groove, with him and Theis our defense looked crazy good. I'm hoping he's healthy. I love Grant, but playing him at center is somewhat of a travesty, the lad is 6'7 with 6'10 wingspan.
