Look at his constitution!
... what about Billups fatigues 06 and 07? - and he is the most important player in the team!
Saunders should just provide a backup player for Prince during regular... maybe like giving Herrmann a fair chance? ...since it was clear all the time that Hayes will be completely useless in playoff bball... or AA, AJ?

Prince is the one person that can use that excuse. Also I'm a big believer in mental fatigue, and also not so much how many minutes you play which is important, but when (and how long) you get your breaks.
That's why the only two players that have any weight with me when they say they were fatigued are Prince and Sheed (I can't count how many times Sheed played amost the entire 1st half or 2nd half with a 2 min break. Also Sheed emotionally exhausts himself with all the energy he probably spends quietly driving himself crazy over Flip and the refs.) Am i stating this is the reason they lost? No. Contributing factor? Probably.
Everyone else on the team can STFU about fatigue.
