    I think it's legit. But that's why our depth came into play, which I think was what we all felt would be one of our main advantages. Just as important is nabbing the 2nd seed to avoid a 1st round rumble.

    So in both cases it was still earned. Fatigue is a part of sports and a sign of weakness. The fatigue was not solely due to us but that's the whole point: who can play great basketball from October to June?

    Since some here give no credit to the fatigue factor, I hope the same people don't turn around and complain about the Rockets being fatigued in this series.

    Lat series is done with. We're hrs away from playing the Warriors. Let's turn our focus to that.

    If you are no.2 seed, then you play no.7 seed, you have less chance to get a fatigue because you have a better chance to avoid the game 7. Clippers played Spurs because they are not no.2 seed. Exhausted or not, it is their problem, not our problem.

    Why y'all bringin up old stuff?

    I hope they do think that's why they lost, and keep their team just like it is... without enough depth to win.

    Why talk about something that just happened Sunday? Better than the 100 threads about 'no respect from the media!' (that also discusses Sunday) BS that has everyone hot and bothered.

    That's kind of the benefit of the Rox finishing their series quicker than them right? Nobody cares that we're missing starters why should we care that they were "tired"?

    DUH who said, remember all the games were blow outs, one way or either.. Even game 7, meaning the rockets and not to rested and rusted, but in NBA READY to play condition.

    Should have won more games and got the 2 seed. Not a valid excuse
