Fatigue. They can harp on all they want about how they manage the load by limiting practice but these players display all the symptoms of fatigue. We're always either undermanned or undersized, both of which drain your energy, which in turn drains your focus, which in turn affects your shooting and decision making. These guys are winning on what I call sheer donkey effort at the moment.
EG's pass to Tucker was correct, but PJ froze because he lacked confidence in going for the shot. Gordon was forced to throw up a bad shot. EG's previous mistake was bad. I still believe that the Rockets are suffering to a certain extent from House's steady play. Our defense would have better with him, if nothing else.
