Well, it's a wrap.
Knicks lost tonite too.
Season's over as far as "must win" games.
Starters will only be getting as much minutes as Doc thinks
is necessary so they don't get rusty.
Games against Heat and Bucks are strictly exhibitions.
Hope Rondo, Ray, Paul, Peaches, and Steamer are at or near 100%
when the playoffs start.
Go Celtics!!!
is Doc going to rest the starters now?

In Response to Re: is Doc going to rest the starters now?:In Response to Re: is Doc going to rest the starters now? : Yes, I'd like to have gone for HCA, as well, but we all know health is more important. KG is pretty beat so letting him recharge his batteries is likely the right decision. If we can't beat the Hawks on the road, we're dead in the playoffs, anyway so might as well rest up and get ready for some road wins!

Agree. I would rest most of the starters the rest of the way, just like today. I'm sure they'll be ready when the playoffs start! -

Rusty? By not playing for a bit more than a week? They just did 11 games in 15 days or something, right?
There's a bigger risk that these particular nails break than that they get rusty imo....
