All I know is that TA looked really bad last three or so games of the series. Sloppy on offense, could not cover Jameer, yes Jameer on defense. I'm guessing he has an undisclosed injury, but maybe he was returning to his old form? Nonetheless, he is going to be important in guarding Kobe if guys get in foul trouble, or even to rest different guys, so I hope the days off gets him mentally and physically prepared
