Some people might say the Clippers tried to lose last night. We’re not sitting in that camp.
Just because you start Vin Baker and give your starting point guard and center zero minutes doesn’t mean anything. Oversights like that happen in professional sports – sometimes you play alcoholics heavy minutes out of nowhere and get down 18 at halftime through the extended use of Daniel Ewing.
Now that the seeding situation is over, the serious issue here is that the Nuggets are pretty offended at everyone wanting to play them, especially when the Clippers are now pretending they’re the underdogs in the matchup, despite having a better record and homecourt advantage.
“The Clippers weren’t in the playoffs last year,” Cassell said. “We weren’t. Nowhere near it. … Yeah, I think we’re the underdog. We’re the underdogs. They’ve been there.”
Said Brand: “We might be underdogs. We don’t have the recent playoff experience that those guys have. Sam’s been there and a few other guys have been there. I don’t know, but they are the third seed and we are the sixth seed.”
Will anyone pick the Nuggets over the Clippers? We surveyed ourself and one other person, and both of the answers were inconclusive.
We throw this then to you, dear readership – will anyone pick the Nuggets to beat the Clippers? Take into account that the Nuggets aren’t playing well, have lost three in a row, and have an ornery George Karl leading them.
Also take into account that the influence of the Spawn of Tom Cruise now looms over the city of Los Angeles. The Dark Mistress has been reborn, and young Suri Cruise can already read, because she’s the smartest baby on Earth.
That’s a Tonka truck Livingston is thinking of up there, btw.
