    considering that this team is arguably the hardest working team in the league, how much do you think it changes/ or changed the way tmac(or other number one options like ariza)play? does it make them work harder? or would they take the team for granted because everyone else is working hard so they dont have to work as hard

    besides the fact that i dont really know what the hell youre talking about, I can say that this is a team with absolutely no guy who doesnt work hard. even mac tries everything to get back into the rotation :)
    except mr.cook, he sucks :grin:

    Heck yes it is infectious, just like passing is as well.....most people in life are followers, they will follow whatever trend is working.

    And if passing or hustle is working they will get in line.

    If you have to pick out one player who isn't matching the intensity of the team it is definitely Ariza. I noticed early on in the season he wasn't quite there but was I forgiving considering he was being measured against some hustle beasts but it's gotten much worse lately. I'm real down on that guy right now.

    i would think you dont want to be that guy that's singled out because everyone else is hustling...i'm assuming you mean mostly on D because on offense sometims the play requires some positioning or standing in a certain place. Defense does also, but usually there's more freedom....

    Now that i've been looking at these tmac clips, i notice he stands around when someone else is defending the player with the ball and just watches...then i noticed ariza does the exact same thing...i can't say i didnt see anyone else do it, but those are the two that stuck out, i'll have to watch the rest more to see if that goes on elsewhere...
