Irving to fragile to play back to back games?

[gouki88]

Yeah I'd be fragile, too - right about now......with all of the CHARGES he's taken for the TEAM.......

I know that at one time he and Smart were tied with NINE charges taken..

Get your rest, Kyrie - long road until Mid June 2019....you have more charges to take....buckets to make...opponents to bake..

His back and shoulders are probably sore from carrying this team's broken offence too

Maybe having 3 games in 4 nights is closer to the answer.

[GreenWarrior]

you hope you're best players can take games to rest. problem is these guys don't get it when he doesn't play.

I remember Jordan at 38 years old playing 37 minutes a game for like 80 games plus.

[Kuberski33]

My guess is they're resting up Kyrie because he's going to get 30 minutes a game or possibly more during the playoffs.  And at the same time, Brad will cut Rozier back to one brief appearance in the first half.

I think the team has concluded that the health of their best players matters more than home court.  Whether I agree with that or not, I'm not sure.
