You don't have the energy to take it to the basket and take that pounding. You end up settling for a shot that's like half-way open".... I dunno, Kobe didn't have any problem taking the pounding inside.
No doubt this mini break will get them refocused but lets cut out the weak excuses... get Ben some help on the boards... work it inside to Sheed and have the gaurds get inside to draw some fouls... it's the best recipe for "schedule losses" ...schedule losses... yuk
I agree. In my opinion the only one who should be able to use fatique as an excuse is Ben. He does alot of the work in the trenches while the rest of the cats are "leaning on thier shovels"

If you wanna be an elite player, you gotta give the same effort as Mamba.
