Looking at the game again a few things jumped out. In the 1st quarter the starters built a lead, the bench extended a lead in the 2nd qtr and the starters came back in (totally disinterested, up by 20+) and surrendered the blowout. In the third qtr the starters were very bored and lost the chance at a blowout. This is why the bench guys are so important, Jarvis, AA, Max are never bored and lethargical. Those guys are playing for contracts and a chance to show that they belong in this league. Our Starters are all RICH, they've all gotten the big contract, Rasheed got it 2x's, Dyess got the BIG$$ in Denver, Rip, Tay, and Chauncey have all been broke off with the $$$$$, they have nothing to prove up 20 pts to a bad Memphis team and they are going to coast. AA, Max, Jarvis are not going to coast, they got alot to prove and they got a lot at stake. Should have subbed for the Rich starters in the 3rd qtr to keep up the teams intensity.
