Magic @ Nuggets

We think differently. Hedo has a terrible game offensively (although he was aggressively rebounding) and some guys are suggesting an attitude problem. I think, "OMG, Hedo can't hit the ocean from the shore. Is he hurt? Is it the ankle he sprained last game?"

In the paper this morning, it said that SVG "didn't believe" that the altitude of Denver affected stamina. He said he learned about this in exercise phyiology class. I wonder if he passed that class. Here's an example of a research article saying he's wrong. Perhaps he confused this with the value of high-altitude training, which is at least somewhat controversial. I wonder if his disbelief in the effects of altitude led him to play only 9 players, 4 of them for more than 30 minutes, rather than use some more guys and spread the pain more. Did you see the way those guys were blowing at the first timeout? At the end of the game, they just plain looked burned out. It wasn't so much that they weren't doing things right, they just couldn't do them fast enough.
