Tomorrow might be similar to the Jazz game, where we legit didn't play anybody.

I did not get a chance to see the beginning of the game but a big congratulations to Nic Claxton on his first start. Thats got to mean a lot to him. He earned it though and it good to see the reward.

I don’t see why we don’t try to play to win tomorrow. I can even see KD playing.

KD looked fine and only played 27 minutes.

I would rather play him tomorrow than just give up a game that could help give us HCA in the playoffs.

In the post-game interview, Nash didn't rule out KD, Kyrie, and LMA for tomorrow so there's a slim chance we get maybe two out of three tomorrow.

If we can get KD, Kyrie and LMA in tomorrow we should do it. It's not like KD had to kill himself today.

Ben Simmons like to talk a lot of trash, he'd better be able to back it up.

I wouldn't count on Kyrie being in Philly if I were you guys.

KD, Nash will have to threaten his life to sit him down.

Harden, he's probably in tears over having to miss this game.

LMA, he's a pros pro. If he's physically capable of playing in this battle for 1st Place, he's playing.

Kyrie, OTOH, I heard it might be his second cousins birthday on Wed., and he sure as hell can't miss that.

They will get to the finals. “Brooklyn has alot of talent but there is only one ball and you’ve got to play defense, too”

Tough talk from a guy who’s scared to shoot a jumper.

Haha - he doesn’t really have that much playoff experience under his belt either. Hmmm talks a lot of smack to me.

I admire Kevin Durant. It's amazing how he comes back after the short break shoots the ball almost 80%

even pro-stave.com and others dont see that kind of an impact...crazy

Please destroy them in playoffs

Rivalry? I mean if they keep that same team, definitely. But it’s going to be hard to do that.

But we’re going for the past champs – the Lakers. They were the ones who won the championship. So, you’ve got to give respect to them.

Obviously, Brooklyn has a lot of talent. But at the end of the day, there’s only one ball and you’ve got to play defense, too.

Ben Simmons is talking ****. Man....

"there is only one ball". and being able to give that 1 ball to elite players every time down instead of an offense killin brick layer like simmons is important. he has killed their ceiling with his half court liabilities.

He needs to not worry about us, because they wont get out of the first round if its boston or miami

Especially since we have no Harden or Kyrie. It's not like this is a statement game. I don't want to throw away games but KD needs to be 100% for the playoffs. The plan was to build him back slowly and this is only his 3rd game back. He's still in the building stage.

This.

You dont alter KDs rehab and ramp up plan for a meaningless regular season game.

KD or Blake should both be healthy scratches tonight

So they're almost intentionally playing him more minutes as a way to get him back into shape, regardless of the score. I think they want him to play 25-30 minutes at least.

Yup. they have a plan and they need to stick to that plan.

If the plan is 25 minutes and its a tie game with 10 seconds left and he is at 25 minutes you still sit him
If the plan is 25 minutes and your up 200 points and he isnt at 25 minutes you keep playing him

Game/Score is irrelevant. this is rehab for KD, not competition. get him healhty and solikd and then worry about the game

I'm not sure about that. I'd play both KD and Kyrie.

Playing KD makes zero sense. risk his health for a meaingless RS game when the playoffs are around the corner?
