Outside of Sheed, all our starters have logged a lot of minutes in this series (Tay especially).

I wonder how this affects our chances at a championship considering fatigue was one of the biggest reasons we lost to the Spurs last year.

Tay seems in much better shape than he was in last year.

He played 48 minutes and game 6 and you couldnt even tell.

its not this series that this bothers me in. but if this stay consistent into the finals, the effects will show. we didnt look tired until the finals last year either.

Again, fatigue does not matter if we are the better team. Every star player has those kind of minutes in the postseason, plus the Heat played a whopping ONE more game than us. It's not that big a deal. Fatigue is one of the worst excuses losing teams can make. Quit acting like a bunch of bitches on this fatigue issue. We'll be fine.

And the reason San Antonio won last year was because they were a better team.

The reason we limited our starters' minutes in the regular season was so we'd be fresh for the post-season. We did that, so now when we need them, they have gas in the tank. Unless Posey turns into LeBron James, I don't think we'll need 48 minute games from Tayshaun. I'm fine with our bigs' minutes, as long as Flip doesn't forget about the spare bigs he has to grind on Shaq.

Anybody listen to the post game press conference? Tay said he felt great all series long. He said he was icing himself down after games as a precaution but not out of necessity so that he could take the long minutes in stride. He said that if Flip would have sent someone to the scorers table to spell him Tay would have waved him off and not gone out of the game.

(Also, Bron handles the press conferences very well. Its impossible for me to hate him listening to 7 pressers of him saying the right thing while sounding like he means it. The only thing he didn't seem to handle well was when a reporter asked him if his coach was right when he said that he thought LeBron might have gotten tired by the second half of game 7. Bron just said "No, that's not correct." and stuck his nails in his mouth. Dude would make a terrible poker player.)
