I think the starters are tiring a bit. All these extended minutes due to injuries will catch up to those old legs eventually. I don't think it's all doom and gloom though. The bench just needs to get healthy and quick.

Doc will play the starters big minutes in a close game, regardless of the bench's health status.

The team was "out of gas" last year this time. 




And definitely not still the #1 seed in the East and #2 in the entire NBA. I mean, even with last night's loss, we still have one of the better road records in the league.

Can we please get healthy again before considering this team doomed like last season?

I think they are just bored and want to move onto the next real season of basketball. Coasting one might say. Most teams that beat us know if it were the 7th game in the finals know they'd be smothered.

Relax already. we will be fine. in two weeks when d west is back and BBD is back in the groove. murphy will improve and team chemistry will jell by the end of the month. when play off time rolls around we will have our player rotation down pat. with BBD, West, Green and Krstic  backing up the starters.

I think we are good shape too all things considered.  We had a major shakeup and we've done considering that.  I just hope the O'Neals are healthy and we will be ok.

in two weeks when d west is back

Seriously, give me a good reason why I shouldn't feel equally confident about the health of Delonte West and the health of Jermaine O'Neal?  Talking about what this team will be like when D West is back seems about as useful as talking about what this team will be like when J'ON is back.

Kobe badly sprains his ankle during a game = Back into the game 10 minutes later.

Delonte West sprains his ankle in practice = Out 1 month.
