Cs don't need to win this one.

NY should be the #3 seed.

If you're in favor of an easier path to the finals, it should be Bucks #2 seed, NY #3, and Philly #7.

If we don't get the 18th banner, let's at least get our 18th loss this season. Go Cs!

I would like to see the team play like alpha dogs again for at least one game. Don't wait until the playoffs and *hope* you can turn it on then. Playing soft and playing scared is how you get hurt.

But we'll see. Maybe Joe's priority is to see what Tillman looks like against every potential playoff opponent.

The priority is to be healthy for the playoffs. I could care less if they lose the remaining games

I think we're both entitled to our opinions. Most of the board seems to share yours. Fear the sport you play for a living, let people get their licks in on you, back into the playoffs and hope to flip the switch.

C's are on another level at home. Even if they're not going 100% I think they've got this one.

Three games to go…

Team clearly doesn’t care about making regular season history as much as I do. Tsk.

Probably can’t win again in the regular season until we get out G leaguers back.

So we’re talking Pritchard-White-Hauser-Brissett-Kornet, is that the situation?

I'm irrationally scared of a potential end of season injury to one of our starters. If it were up to me, Tillman/Kornet/Springer/Hauser/Pritch would be starting these last three games and playing 40 minutes.

Look at what happened to Giannis.

Nobody and I mean nobody touched him and he just fell to the floor.

Oh man - our whole team is injured, suddenly, right before the playoffs.

We're screwed.

Cs must have gotten scared after they saw Giannis fell to the floor untouched.

Health is the key.

Let Philly take out the Bucks in rnd 1 and beat the Knicks in rnd 2.

Philly finally makes it to the east finals after more than 20 years.

Knicks are one of 7 teams that can knock us out of the East playoffs. They are in the no-joke pile of challengers.

I would rest the big 6, keep them out of harm's way. Knicks need to win and they play hard. Let them win, who cares.
