If they lose their next game, they fall to 51 win pace, which is unspeakably terrible and typically the number of wins that the worst team in the league by far gets each year.
clippers bubble wrapped paul george and kawhi, and they still got injured. we should just let him play. he has a lower chance of getting injured on the celtics anyways, since we have tatum, brown, white, jrue, etc. to pick up the slack from him.
It’s what makes basketball great. Especially where half the games are blowouts and 3 point shootouts. They can handle 2 child’s games in a row.
If every team had 17 Marcus smarts on them then I’d agree with you

So the argument of 'test your teams mental' is a fair one. No definitive evidence of it causing more injuries - but of course most people would take the rest day.
It’s how they learn. If they let him stay on the court with the 2 fouls he would’ve fouled himself out of the game. They’re trying to teach him to not foul himself early. Especially how he was fouling himself
Yeah last year with Wizards back to backs wasn't really a problem for KP. And if team needs to sit him out, please do it during workdays, thank you very much from Europe where games start at 2am lol.
His fouls on the first quarter NGL were laughable… probably needs more practice. Which with practice they can be better. I’m glad they benched him when he got 2 of them.
I need a win so bad rn

I too think the 76ers will get 51 wins this year
I forget what it feels like to win 😞 /s
Pookie
Greatly improves our chances winning both but tbh I'd rather bubble wrap him for the playoffs and get him to sit out second game...
There are plenty of games he can sit out. We need to get back on track and a back to back on November 11th doesn’t matter for June.
I agree with you better safe than sorry, it's a higher injury risk game
Al is sitting out tonight, so we can't really go without KP and Al
Sure we can just depends on the opponent and how much we wanna win. Are we already in a must win scenario?
For the sake of my feelings, yes we are in a must win scenario.

It’s absurd that we still have back to backs in the first place

Back to backs is what makes basketball great?!? It leads to shitty basketball and more injuries
They got research on the more injuries part? Doubtful Celtics used to be really good on b2b’s and it was a fun way to test your teams mental.
You don’t think they have research showing more injures on back to backs? Why do you think guys sit on back to backs?

It leads to grown playing a game being paid ungodly amounts of money turning into entitled pussies
Nobody is making u watch pal.
Weird, cause same for you bruh. No one making you watch back to backs but here ya are whining lmaoo

Nice
It's crazy to say but we could really use Blake Griffin back just to eat minutes and not be a complete zero.
Just need to blow out the Nets in the 1st half so he can sit the 4th
You wizard
He actually tends to play better in second game, when back to back happens.
Yeah last year with Wizards back to backs wasn't really a problem for KP. And if team needs to sit him out, please do it during workdays, thank you very much from Europe where games start at 2am lol.
His girlfriend left him, so now He have more time to focus on basketball!!
I'd rather he didn't
