Any other year, I would say this trap game’s gonna get us. Not this year.

[leper-con]

I love that we are so good that we are using mediocre teams to experiment with different defensive schemes.

[KamikazeK]

Wouldn't it just be something if THIS was the home game we lost.

Wouldn't it just be something if THIS was the home game we lost.

Do not put that in the universe

But yes it would

[ConstableGeneva]

Play main rotation in the first half. Lead by 50 at halftime. Rest main rotation in 2nd half.

Don't like that injury designation for KP. Do not like it at all. Rest him.

JB back.

If Jrue and White are Out, then we likely need Banton to help out Pritchard. And have Davison come up, too.

[playa-hater]

Absolutely rest KP..

[PierceFan4ever]

This is a game where you should be able to rest a starter or two and still win.
