Some call it the rookie wall...I call it fatigue.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>It’s not been a good couple of weeks for Sean Williams. The addition of Stromile Swift and DeSagana Diop was only one part of it. His propensity to pick up quick fouls when he did play hurt him too. And at halftime Wednesday, his increasing lack of intensity won him a talking-to from Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter. He played better in the second half, but as the rookie rankings also attest, it looks like he’s hit the wall.</div>

    It's obvious Sean is tired as hell. Let's just hope and pray that Krstic comes back all good, so that Sean could get a much needed break.

    Am I the only one who sees irony here?

    Vince stepped it up that game, and the fact that he wants to lead the rest of the team in that manner is even more impressive. If only he could keep this up throughout...oh, the possibilities.

    It's a rough transition for a young guy who hasn't played a full season of basketball since high school, and its not that surprising that he's getting frustrated at the adversity he's facing. I'm not worried though, not even now, as he's started to keep himself in the game longer the past two weeks.

    I call it a similar player in Swift and a better defensive player in Diop.

    SWAT just needs to be mentally focused... he seems lost at times... same with boone, but boone is startin to understand how to play the "NBA" game
