I don't buy the fatigue thing. Just had a vacation. He's 24 and supposedly eating healthier than ever.
Maybe it's an injury, or maybe he's not adjusting well enough to the focus other teams have on him now. Right now, he's a streak player that looks like he has a bit of an entitlement problem.
He has to stop whining and letting the officials take him mentally out of the game. He has such a good game when he's going to the hoop, but he doesn't use it enough.
However, none of this will matter if this team doesn't learn to win in other ways besides shooting 3's.
Well, I think it’s more mental fatigue. He made mention last night that he hasn’t been home in two weeks given the ASB and everything, so I think that definitely contributes to his poor play post ASB. He specifically mentioned sleeping in his own bed, missing Deuce, eating a home-cooked meal, etc.
I think because of the money and the fact that they’re playing a sport that we do sometimes take for granted the travel factor and how much it puts you in a different place mentally. I know that even when on vacation, I’m so ready to get back home and sleep in my own bed by about the fourth day. I can’t imagine doing that for two weeks and not seeing my wife and kids on top of that.
