You're exactly right man,I have the same feeling here after waking up from a nap. Since that feeling hit me,I decided not to take a nap at noon
I wonder how many NBA players, well professional athletes in general, use sleeping pills? I mean, these guys play so hard anyway and the body just isn't ready to sleep after all that adrenaline. Then you gotta throw in trying to sleep on planes, constantly traveling, etc.
give me a break....tmac is the only 1 with a child? the rain man was awesome at 1 time and he had a dozen kids....
Lots of players have kids but how many players need sleep to be effective like T-Mac? Basketball aside, surely you know some folks who aren't the same person when they don't get their sleep. I am one of those. I'm usually grouchy more lazy and not as sharp when I don't get my required sleep. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is why T-Mac's production has dropped. Everyone is not this way. Some people can sleep for 2 hours and they'll be good. Although, I will say that sleeping is very underrated.
I can attest for this statement. As crazy as it sounds, maybe Tmac needs more rest, although ironically he splits are better on games with one day's rest in between than on games with 2+ days rest in between.
