I'm awesome

you never heard me make excuses for the Lakers loss to the Celts in 08. I tipped my hat and said they outplayed us and deserved it. Now if a Celts fan would say we didnt deserve our le last year cause KG was hurt... then for sure I would reply in kind that the same scenario happened the year prior.

There's only one fan base on this board notorious for the excuses about why their team lost (and it ain't the Suns or the Lakers).

I dont totally buy into the whole back to back BS anyway. I mean come on. These are elite athletes in their prime years. I've played in tourneys where we will play 5 games in a weekend.

IMO, it's an over-hyped statistic.

Maybe 4 games in 5 days over a road trip has a minor effect, but if a player cares about his conditioning as much as Nash or Rip Hamilton, B2B's shouldn't be an issue.

Spurvericks?

The first part. Mavfan doesn't make too many excuses, just look at tonight. They all expressed displeasure with their team and tipped their hat to the Spurs.

I think back-to-backs are harder on older players. Nash and Hill both seem to lose a step in the 2nd of a back-to-back despite their conditioning.

The younger players, like 30 or younger, should have no problem playing a couple nights in a row.

Get yourself into the troll forum.

This is getting more and more annoying by the day...
