They were blowouts and the teams were beating them in the lane.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Doc's wrong as well.

They had non-performances because they were resting aging players and because guys like Davis were horrid and injuries not because they were all heartbroken about Perkins.

Believe me there was a lot going on that isn't going public

I believe that there was a lot going on. At the same time, they weren't resting players against Miami or Chicago. If their starters played less, its because hey were getting hopelessly blown out.
