We’ve all been very patient and understanding lately but a good win at home is needed
If peak Embiid health is now the goal, you have to imagine he sits for this. I mean how could he miss the MVP showdown yet play 48 hours later (barring temporary things like a stomach bug)? Also, Harden almost suited up on Monday so he’s prob a go for this game. Whoever the hell is out there please win . No Dedmon please. If Doc trots Niang and Dedmon out there at the same time you have to assume at this point this is a full on tank job for the 4th seed
These guys have been useless lately and got belted by the poverty Hornets so I am completely expecting Kyrie to go nuclear and blow us out.
I also get the feeling Doc is gonna use a 3 minute garbage time run to put Trez back into the rotation, probably at the cost of Paul, despite him clearly being our best backup.
Sit em both. Get healthy. Please I know the MVP will sting but idk if my body is ready for Dedmon in the playoffs because Embiid aggregates a calf injury.
Atlanta bought us another day. I say sit em again and really rest the boys up. We need to be full strength.
May as well sit Embiid at this point, but we should win this game either way.
The first five posts today being about how they should just rest Embiid is the surest sign he’ll probably play. Still do need to get a few wins to lock up the 3 seed
Selfishly, i don’t want them to sit Embiid because I’ll be at this game tonight.
Would be nice if, after years of suffering through Doc’s boneheaded roster management, it actually benefitted me for once.
I can’t believe the MVP is lost for missing 1 game in March. If that game were against OKC or someone irrelevant this whole MVP is lost none sense wouldn’t be. It’s just so sad that blob will most likely be getting his 3rd when his own peers don’t even agree he deserves it.
Heat loss yesterday puts them at a serious uphill battle to reclaim the 6 seed. If Brooklyn beats their 3 lottery opponents and 1 of ATL/UTA/MIN (all home games), then Miami needs to win 5 of their last 7 since they lack the tiebreaker. And we can also influence this since we play both teams once more.
I think this is a very important detail since Spo has always bothered the Celtics system and could potentially make Mazzulla’s life hell.
TBH wouldn’t mind load managing the shit out of James and Joel till the playoffs start. Wins vs Boston and Dallas would be nice so we can say we’ve beaten every team in the league but just want a healthy group going into the playoffs.
