You haven’t figured out 82 ∈ 70+?

We know he's not playing tonight so why don't you go for 81? ;)

Yes, we do. Beal has been ruled out and is not playing tonight.

OK. Feel free to go with 82 then, Charlie. "Are you feeling lucky punk? Well, are you?"

What I want and what will probably happen are two different things... I'm hoping the same like you guys, but feel 41 games will be what we're able to run with all 3 at the same time. The only way they go more is if they rest them all at the same time but feel like they'll stagger them.
Kind of the same logic, but raising it to 51, because the team still needs to get a good record, so they could stagger them during some long period where they are all healthy, but if they fall behind the top 4 seed, I can easily see the team using them together to reclaim distance if any injury limits availability for a considerable stretch of the season.

They missed 96 games last season and an average of 90 games over the last two seasons. So if that continues, it would be unrealistic to expect those 30 or so games to all come at the same time.

I voted 29-41. That's a bit pessimistic, but it only takes one of them being out to reduce the count. And I think there'll be random games where we sit Beal or KD for whatever reason. And that's okay. I just want them all healthy for the playoffs.

And what’s your number for the tie-breaker?
