Ummm, this shouldn't be interesting. The Bucks are nothing without Giannis. He should sit until he is 100% healthy (or as healthy as you can get at this stage of the season).

Load management reasons.

Another guy not playing in the playoffs unless garbage time happens. But for now, he'll eat up minutes.

They should him out the next 2 games.

8 West playoff teams are official.

Only 5 so far in east, and the way things are going, it really could be a game 82 decision. 7-9 maybe 6 too. Could see a team entering the day as 7 seed with possibility of falling to 9.

Heat VS Nets could be that game.

Heading into game 82,I predict :
Pistons 41-40
Heat 40-41
Nets 40-41
Magic 40-41

Pistons will beat Knicks, one of Heat or Nets obviously will finish 40-42 in this scenario, so Magic game VS Hornets decides the final spot.

Although I'm up for a 4 team tiebreaker.

L2M for that Warriors game. NBA says every call near end was right. In final 2 minutes overall they say there were 2 incorrect non calls benefitting Warriors and 1 benefitting Wolves.

Which games do you predict we’ll lose since you think we won’t win more than 40?

Well, Bud thinks it is.

It's been a hot topic all week in the press.

They are also missing Brogdon, Niko and Snell, so, yeah, with minutes/starters/bench, it does present a juggling act.

Bud said in today's edition, being healthy is the most important thing, but playing well and having a good rhythm is something they are talking about and balancing.

If and when the Bucks clinch HCA, the feeling is they don't want to put up their feet and relax.

And speaking of this, lol, from Scott Pollard on Twitter:

Obviously, not talking about injuries) Remember that time MJ limited his minutes so he would be good for the playoffs? Me neither

Update-Giannis not playing today, that means probably 8 in the rotation.

1 VS Bucks (play them twice), 1 VS Raptors and 1 VS Pacers(play them in Indiana, who are still playing for home court VS Celtics).

Although in this scenario, let's say Nets are 41-40. If they lose to Miami and Magic win their game, it's a 3 team tie for 7th. Not too sure about tiebreaker, but I believe division winner tiebreaker happens first, so Magic would get 7. Then Heat would get 8 since they have better record VS Nets?

Its all just predictions right now anyways. Still another week+ of games. Anything can happen.
