Sucks that Kawhi is out.

Nah it's ok, take the Ws early and start resting people early. We have like a thousand players FFS

I'm not counting on an automatic win.

Not an automatic win, but losing to the clippers while they aren’t playing their top two players, 2 guys that are probably top 10 players, is not good

Imagine dropping a couple hundred bucks for some decent seats at the Staples Center to take your kid to see Giannis vs. Kawhi and instead you get Wes Matthews vs. Landry Shamet. Definitely disappointed cause I wanted to see how Giannis would play against the guy who everybody said destroyed him last year (conveniently forgetting that Fred Van Vleet shot 5032393213%).

Bucks favored by 1

An off day/night in L.A. doesn't bode well

Clippers are missing their 2 star players and the Bucks are only favored by 1? That dog won't hunt.

I got 650 on the bucks +1 before Kawhi was announced out.

If we can't beat the Clips in LA minus Kawhi and PG why are we watching these games?

Must Win.

This is just so awesome for the league.

They couldn't have set up his load management for him to play this game?

With all of the bitching players and coaches do every single night, along with this kind of stuff. The NBA is slowly wearing on me.

Yeah I don't trust any team from Wisconsin to play a good game in LA.

Bucks have 1 win, 10 losses in the last 11 @ LA Clips.

For those curious, it was a 1 point win.

With that line being like this is there any inkling that Giannis resting too or something? doesn't make sense otherwise

Kawhi sitting out this game for load management is actually ridiculous and should be criticized. We're 7 games into the season and the Clippers haven't played since Sunday.

Doris Burke sounded off on Kawhi on SC this morning. I mean cmon Kawhi, 7 games in, really?!?!

Bad look, you never want to upset the Doris.

It's apparent he won't be playing back to backs. I get it to a point but the season just started. Sucks for the fans

The NBA is hurting their product with this ****. If the season is too long, eliminate conferences and have everyone play twice. Such an easy solution. The ratings will continue to plummet if this keeps up.

This will be the Clippers 8th game...... Second he sat out

It's a bad look for the league but I'm not sure if they can or should do anything about it. Eliminating back-to-backs would be the simplest solution, but load management is just the new reality and is gonna happen even with games between off days. You're investing so much money in these guys and the regular season has always been pretty meaningless for the true contenders. I don't like the idea of a 60-game season either. That's too drastic of a reduction in games and not a reasonable solution.
