    Glad we finally lost the 1st. Having the obligation was limiting our trade flexibility. Doubt we buy a #1 but could see a #2.

    True but that paddling they gave us this season is still in my mind. It's true that last game when we played them there was a disparity because of the back to back, but still man. I'd much rather play the Clips.

    HOW MANY assists do you expect LIN to have when Harden, Lin and Beverly are all on the floor?

    **** DRAGIC & LOWRY

    BOTH DIDN'T WANT TO BE HERE, LOOK WHO'S IN THE PLAYOFFS AND WHO ISN'T LMAO.


    Sidenote: When do we start resting the starters? Lin, Omer, Harden and Parsons all deserve some rest before the PO's!

    OK I was really anti-Nuggets earlier, but now I'm not so sure. I know we got waxed the other night, but that was a schedule loss. We were actually playing well until we ran out of gas. That won't happen so dramatically in the playoffs.

    We'll have time to acclimate and rest between games. I'm not saying we'll beat the Nuggets, but it won't be as ugly as the last game, in my opinion. Also missing players becomes a bigger issue over longer periods of time. They are deep but they would really feel Galo's absence over a 7 game series. Plus no telling where Lawson will be.

    I'd rather face a hobbled Spurs team, but it's always better to be assertive and take matters into your own hand. Let's push for the 6 and slam the door on the Lakers.

    Now if only we could only figure out how to change the dynamics of that Iggy-Harden match-up.

    This. I really hope they get some rest, especially harden, he's been a bit subpar since the injury. He needs some well deserved rest

    I'd say 1-2 PnR to force the switch, then swing ball to Harden on the mismatch.

    The next 6 games, McHale should limite the starters minutes, try whatever rotations he likes to experiment.

    It doesn't matter we face the Spurs or the Thunders.

    LOFs, please stop bagging Harden every time you want to talk up Lin, they are both ROCKETS (not that you care).
