    He probably play tonight so he can play in the all star game

    He definitely shouldn't be in the all-star game if he is still on a game time decision basis.

    He only played 29 mins tonight. 21/6/6 on 50% shooting, that’s what having depth will do for you. Won’t be the case every night, but he doesn’t have to absolutely carry us now for us to even be in a game.

    Yea, but if that injury is what caused him to play THAT defense against NO, I don't want him back until he feels okay. He was a traffic cone. That was the defensive play of a bum tonight. Horrific. Just sit out the ASG. (But he loves that jit! I stopped watching the ASG years ago; a 190-187 game is not real basketball to me.)

    Game time decision to doing acrobatic moves all night. Fast healer.

    Playing under 30 minutes must feel great. Very nice game, nothing forced. Hopefully we can continue like this with the deep team we have now. It should help him extend his career until he is 50, easy.

    He should absolutely be sitting the all-star game.

    Great to have him back! Let’s hope he doesn’t miss any more games. We need him.

    That was probably the least amount of work he had to put in for a game all season long. He SHOULD sit the ASG but he'll probably play.

    With the depth of the team, we're going to get more nights like this for Bron. It's a long brutal road ahead this season and when every game becomes a must win, that's tiring. When you can get your best player nights where he only has to log 30 minutes, you can bank those minutes into the reserve tank.

    He'll definitely play this weekend. He wants and earned the league wide praise for his accomplishment. I doubt he plays that much in the game or expends too much energy.

    But the previous games weren't that so important with the post scoring title vacation.

    Hopefully it's just precautionary because it's an exhibition game. Saw him grabbing at it in the game though.
