    well, the heat were just as bad, so we had a shot. but we got outrebounded, which isn't common for us. it's been a struggle of late. really for about a month.

    The guys cant wait till March 3. They're wore out

    6 games left but they have a game every other day.

    Give Cacock, Cook and Kostas some burn

    yeah, i think Pioneer was beating the fatigue drum, and i think that may be it. and then last game one of the only guys who shouldn't be fatigued (schroder) was out.

    We also played a lot more games than many other teams. It has to be fatigue.

    Lakers are losing because they aren't making open shots. Once they do, they will start winning again.

    Basically, yes - but why are they all suddenly missing all those shots? Fatigue might be the answer. Once our guys get some rest collectively it will get better, I agree.

    Dennis is tired from staying late watching the Finals?

    Dennis and Trez are not (neither is Wes, but he gets no minutes, so it's a moot point), but they don't even look particularly tired right now. Those guys that actually played in the finals do. And Marc is slow and overweight by default, LOL. :)

    Lebron DOES look physically tired , can be mental fatigue for others as KCP said .

    Spending lots of energy to have the number 1 defense and shooting the ball well might not be a good combination when playing every other day too

    Overall the guys bricking aren't that good of shooters , they are going to have ups and downs.

    As of now every player available not named Lebron and THT can't dribble the basketball so we are easy to defend

    LeBron with a stupidest OT finish I've seen from him... starting from 2 min left or so. Caruso with the no-foul as well.

    Think we need to make a trade if we want to repeat. Don’t think the Lakers can afford to just wait for AD to comeback and hope he solves all the issues.

    They have no offense. No plays. Little movement. ISO Bron or ISo AD.

    Missed FT by Bron. Cost is the game. Period.

    The game would be over and there would be no OT necessary if Lebron made that late Free throw to win the game. Self inflicted wounds man....

    aside from the hole at C left by dwight/mcgee and the crap 3 pt shooting, i'm really concerned about fatigue with this group considering the historically short offseason

    lebron is clearly tired but continues playing near 40 minutes every night

    4 FTs missed down the stetch , 2 by Bron , 2 by Marc ... There is the game with a very thin margin of error

    we're missing schroder and AD, and we're having trouble scoring. also, we got westbrook's one good game in five.

    we don't need trades. we need health and rest. we don't need the 1 seed either.

    When was the last time we had a dominant win? Feels forever.

    Anyways, the last two games were very winnable, but again it’s been a pretty consistent theme with this team...it’s either the 3pt shooting, FT shooting, and or TO.
