Hmm, should we be insulted that the Clippers seem to think they don't need some of their stars to beat us? Probably not. I don't gamble but I'm guessing the odds makers are still going to favor the Clippers. It could be a very interesting game. I wish you good luck, but I'm hoping for an upset. ;-)

With the amount of times the Clippers have lost in Denver in the last few years, even with DJ and Blake playin, it's more that they don't care about giving this one away vs putting too much wear and tear on their main players.

:nod: Yeah, I get that. Our coach never lets his foot off the gas - more of the old school approach but the game has changed and contenders these days keep their eye on the playoffs, starting with 3 games before the season starts. :lol:

doc rivers was resting players earlier in the season as well when the schedule was particularly rigorous. it's the same thing going on right now.

i get that it's more fun to feel slighted but really the team's schedule is very, very heavy and some of the guys need some rest. the team has been struggling and they could use some off days.
