Craig Hodges not good enough? It's all in Sasha's head.

I still generally like Sasha because I know he tries, but I'm starting to think last year was just a fluke. You look at this year's percentages, and they're almost identical to his career numbers. He wouldn't be the first guy in the history of professional sports to overachieve in a contract year.

Sasha needs to find it within himself and carry it with him every second of every game. That's what all good performers do, even on a really bad personal day/month/year. When it's go-time, you better bring it. Personally, I have very little tolerance for lack of "clutchness".

Great win. I needed to see something like this.

The only disappointment is that Sasha did not suffer a career ending injury this game. Better luck next time.
