This is a special team. Really hope they can continue this all the way to the Finals.

Bucks game might be the last marquee matchup of the regular season (assuming we aren't going to go all out the final week of the season). Let's **** them up

No wonder Brad didn't add anyone from the buyout market.

The chemistry and camaraderie of this team is so great that you don't want to mess it up.

I take it back. Play by play girl was okay, too. Whole broadcast team did well, and Abby tied it all together.

The NBA is sports entertainment.

Promoting and empowering women will increase their fan base and that will result in the NBA making more money.

yup, lots of people sleeping on that OKC game!
Pelicans and Knicks worth playing the full roster against as well.

Cs can lose all 3 and still win 60 games.

I think staying healthy is more important now.

I think this team wants to keep winning, and throttling down significantly before the playoffs is probably a risk to health as much as continuing to blow teams out.

You need luck -- primarily health -- to win it all, and there's no place or activity on this planet that guarantees perfect health.

True.

I just don't think the games are that important anymore.

The Bucks game should be their last regular season game that they take seriously.

Their lead in the standings is just too big.

Cs have a much bigger cushion against MIL than they do against OKC, who is coming to town April 3.
Mostly, I hope they maintain their edge. They can strategically rest guys as they have been. Don't have to drop many/any games to do so!

Wouldn't it be a bummer to come this far, have the team take their foot off the gas, and then hear about how they 'couldn't flip the switch back on' for the playoffs? I don't think that's a story this squad is interested in authoring.

OKC won't make the finals.

If OKC is the team the Cs are facing in the finals, Cs will win easily.

I agree with your point about not taking the foot off the gas pedal.

What I'm saying is the remaining games are irrelevant now.
