I think it was a big break for Philly. YOu catch a team with exhausted starters and a rotation cut by a third....they were exhausted. By your logic as long as you have your top three players you could get two more from the NBADL and play everyone 48 min and it wouldn't really be a big disadvantage.
Nope. That's putting words in my mouth. I was saying that we had 6 of our top 7 players by my estimation, and were maybe missing our 5th best player. I just don't think that's huge. The being tired is a concern, but every team plays back to backs. We had almost all of our big minute guys, who play big minutes regardless of 7 men or 12 men on the roster. If we're going to hold that as a standard for an excuse, then we should excuse every team that comes off a back to back that plays us. I don't see you jumping to defend other teams coming off back-to-backs. Gimme a break.
By the logic I've seen in this thread, Milwaukee is an NBDL team and that's why losing their best player is irrelevant. They're NBDL level since they couldn't handle Curry, and this was a win either way, so they should just forfeit before it starts. That's just following the logic that has been presented in this thread.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
