I'm willing to acknowledge the fact that we have injury issues just as much as the next guy, and yes missing KG is a big deal.
however, the thing that concerns me the most is our inability to hold onto our leads in the 2nd half. Injuries aside, some of these teams we should be able to handle without KG pretty comfortably. Especially Detriot, who was without Gordon and Prince, and Rip was playing with the flu.
Some people are saying it's a lack of focus and are chalking it up to a midseason drag, and I hope they are right, because one thought that keeps lingering in the back of my mind is that I wonder if older, tired legs are starting to rear their ugly head only half way through the season. If thats the issue we have a huge problem. I know every year is different, but the fact that in our championship year in '08, the 3rd quarter is when we'd really punished our opponents, it when we'd really step on their necks. This year the 3rd quarter is when we let teams back in the game instead of putting them away. It's alarming to me.
