Spread increased in the Spurs' favor, up to 10 now..probably means OKC is resting guys IMO..

You said the same thing about Kerr resting players & it ended up being Barbosa. (OKC has been resting WB/KD so this is more likely)

I was going by what Kerr said in the post-game interview of the previous game, he said Iggy and Livingston had a good chance of being rested

This was toooooooooooo funny. Thanks for sharing.

Another meaningless game. Use this game to stay in shape and stay healthy. That is all.

Go Spurs Go

Isn't he tied with Magic for the season triple-double record? If so, he's not sitting.

Good point. So sit Durant and give him even more touches...

I'd like to get a win and end the season on a good note but there really isn't much to play for here.... Would suck to go balls to the wall and still lose.

overall, we should be able to get confidence back in the first round against grizz/Mavs so a loss wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

As long as the Mavs still have Carlisle as their coach, they won't be a cakewalk in the playoffs...not against us, tbh.

I know they will grind against us and play us close but I don't see them tAking more than 1 game.... If they do, that would be bad. Obviously I'd prefer Memphis . Either way this will be our easiest 1st round matchup in years.

KD, RW and Ibaka rest tonight... 40-1 at home stay a superb record...

Is it official that they're resting?

Thunder wouldn't rest their players if we were still undefeated at home, tbh.

I think that would tie the Celtics for the best home record all time in a season.

If OP loses tonight, no more Game Threads for the rest of the year, deal? He's on a nasty streak, no?

Also, if MEM loses both of their last games they are the 7th seed, correct? Regardless of what Dallas does?

True.

[larrychen21]

Was there any team went 40-1 before?

Who cares about the records, it doesn't mean anything.

I really wish Pop would sit LMA for these last two games. I know dislocations are supposed to be manageable, but he was still noticeably favoring that pinky in the game against the Warriors on Sunday. A week off would give him a good chance to get it as close to 100% as possible.

The 86 Celtics went 40-1 at home

One can only hope, I hope he rests the starters for these remaining 2 games.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. These games are absolutely meaningless. Shut him and all the old guys down. Heck, we'll probably want to lose to Dallas so we can get the Grizzlies.

I don't agree... this record live forever...
remain undefeated at home, only team, would been a great accomplished for TD, Pop, Manu and Parker... another milestone

20minutes for starters, little training before ten days of rest
