1) I don't recall seeing him out of breath anymore than anyone else once the season started. And even if he was sucking wind for awhile, at least he was playing and helping the team. Seems like the lesser of two evils to me. 2) We aren't advancing deep into the playoffs anyways because we're too busy rehabbing and playing through injuries.
Great job in the summaries, Alex. Pritchard is vague and psychological, while McMillan has more specific demands of Aldridge and Oden. This thread noticed the Oden comments, but not Nate's Aldridge criticism. McMillan wants some changes, but isn't strong enough to make his players change.
We noticed the Oden comments because most of us want him to play most of a season. Blaming Aldridge for not being Oden seems ridiculous to me.
