Every team makes a run no matter if your up or down, that's the way the game goes. It's rear to see a team play with the same intensity when there up big in any sport.
The good teams stop the bleeding before they die.
Fatigue was a major factor last season cause most of the players weren't has prepared. This year guys knew what they were going to be dealing with, so there familar with the system and are more condition

I do have a bit of a problem with back to back, or 4 games in 5 night, games were guys are obviously struggling with there shot and we have offensive guys languaishing on the bench.

He really should consider opening up the rotation when certain situations call for it, but seeing the way he let duhon work his way out of his struggles for 5 weeks, I don't belive he will change that philosophy any time soon.

nixluva - are you really advocating that 5'7 Nate is better at driving to the rack than the 6'8 gazelle known as The Mayor?

C'mon man!

Ive been impressed with the Mayor recently. Dude finally woke up!


Less about "waking up" and more about his injured foot allowing him to "step up."

That is why the 3 pts shots that the players make in the first half stop falling in the second half. Even if he does not want to play Nate, he should get Douglas involved more to lower the minutes of guys like Chandler and Duhon, whose 3pt shot seems to abandon them in the second half of games.

Moreover, how are all these minutes going to impact the team in the second half of the season? Is the team going to fade out by February because MDA is running guys all game? I think so. We saw it last year with Duhon.

Short answer, yes. This offense wasn't designed for teams with short rotations. The players will get winded and break down.
