Laziness

More from Clipperholics

Rebounding, 50/50 balls, and defense. During such a tough stretch of the season, and with players playing extended minutes in the absence of other players, fatigue is plaguing their bodies.

But it’s important to know that fighting through it is all mental. Your body can only go as far as your mind takes it. All players have moments when you can tell they’re dog tired, yet continue to push through and hustle hard anyways.

Laziness is the one thing that can potentially affect every aspect of the game. It has a tremendous influence on defense, which, in my opinion, is mostly hustle and effort. Though they miss CP3’s elite play on that side of the floor, defense is something every player is capable of. Settling is detrimental to the team and the game. Hopefully, new adjustments and intensity will come on Monday’s game against the Phoenix Suns.
