In their previous 34 road games, they weren't benching all their starters so not really applicable. For the great majority of those games, they were significantly less of underdogs than they are tonight.
True. But just won SU at PHX with the world on the Suns. And have had at least 2 of top 3 starters out in last several games.
Some teams do get out of the way in situations like this. MIN totally stepped aside for HOU the other night and prior to that game MIN was hot. Also Karl is getting fired after the game. So yeah, if HOU wins 127-92 I won't be shocked. But I'd much rather follow my numbers.

Vit I don't know what I'm shorter on to answer your question, time or knowledge. Pats, what do you think?
3 guard offenses spreading the floor? Era of the big center in the past?
Heck, Milwaukee's Offense is run by a 6'11" "Point-Forward."
