First of all this isn't about tonight and I even pointed this out on VN back in the December.
Second of all losing tonight doesn't have to be all bad and the outcome was as I expected.
Now for the purpose of the thread.
It has been my opinion since early on this season that Barnes has played many of his players too many minutes late and I mean very late in blowout games.
Tonight I thought it was apparent that williams was a step slow and didn't have the bounce in his game. He didn't run the floor hard and he looked very gassed to me.
If all those minutes are catching up to him then I pray Barnes starts really letting up on the court time for these guys.
It might be the elephant in the room but history tells us Barnes has often times seen his teams lose steam down the stretch and in March.
Anyone else think the minutes, the grind of the season, and all the contact that Grant takes might be catching up with him?
