Interesting take from Bill Simmons on the fatigue issue :

https://theringer.com/the-no-sleep-till-the-nba-playoffs-mailbag-5fc89d3ff889#.bkto7kaq4

"I’m constantly amazed by how hard everyone plays these days. When a contender like the Warriors goes through the motions on a random night, it turns into a 24-hour news cycle. Are the Warriors worn out? Have they lost their swagger??? Thanks to League Pass, social media, and the never-ending slew of national games, the level of scrutiny is unparalleled — and on top of THAT, they’re playing a smaller, faster, unrelenting style that’s littered with slash-and-kicks, run-outs, chasedowns and protect-the-rim-by-committee leaps. Maybe stars aren’t getting hammered in the lane like they did in the Laimbeer-Oakley days, but they can’t take plays off either. There’s a reason nobody plays 40-plus minutes a game anymore. You can’t."

John is only human, I'm worried about the minutes he logged this season.

Lin does not have a chance against wall... wow this is the best match up wall could have gotten after a tough game and injuries as Lin is the worse starting point guard in the league defensively (not including Isiah).

I agree...he seems to be injuried or tired. Lucky for him Beal is "healthy" to shoulder the burden of scoring.

He's solid defensively, he's gotten a lot better as the years have passed.
