Q. How do you wrestle with the notion of wanting Tony to play but if you think give him one game, whatever happens in Game 4, give him that game and maybe you have him for Game 5, 6 and 7?
COACH GREGG POPOVICH: Can you repeat that?
Q. Good point. What I'm trying to ask is the temptation is to play him obviously.
COACH GREGG POPOVICH: Hit me, go ahead.
Q. I'm trying to figure out what I'm thinking. The temptation I would think is to mail in Game 4 and have him at full strength for 5, 6 and 7 as opposed to risking him for the full time. How much do you wrestle that?
COACH GREGG POPOVICH: I have to tell you that phrase "mail in Game 4"‑‑
Q. Good, right?
COACH GREGG POPOVICH: It confuses my whole brain. I don't think I can think past that comment. I would like to help you, but I don't know how to help you. You can come back to our coach's office and hit us. We'll be talking about all these sorts of things. Any ideas are welcome. I have no idea until I know how healthy he is tomorrow.
