Johnson is so effing gassed.
Anyone care to argue that?

Finally a call. KD has been getting hit with some vicious illegal screens.
XJ looks completely pooped
Never gonna win anything in St. Louis when you run Domask, Jones, and now X into the ground during the season just to get wins
Not enough depth
I think the depth is fine, they just rely too much on a small number of players to carry them and it's never gonna work in a tournament when you need to win 3-4 games.
I'd disagree. We have two other point guards that are perfectly capable of playing 2 minutes a game each, that would be plenty to give X some time off.XJ looks completely pooped

Jacobi Wood has played virtually the same minutes as XJ has this year and he seems to be doing just fine. Also, XJ has scored 29, 35, 17, 17 & 21pts in the last 5 games. He's also 23 years old. I am not saying XJ should be playing every minute of every game (especially earlier in the seaons during blow outs) but I also do not agree that, just because he's had 1 bad game now, that it's all because of him being tired. Take a look at the list of players that play almost as many minutes as XJ (Boo Buie, Tyler Perry, Baylor Schierman, Dajuan Harris, etc) these are all CRITICAL players on Power 5 schools. This is not an isolated thing.
8 turnovers and 4 fouls on X
Lacking a backup pg is really hurting this team right now
Classic Mullins.
Miller can handle the PG position for 8 minutes a game.
Real chance to lose here
I don’t think we have the legs to compete in OT. We gotta win it here somehow.
X is having an off game plus it really looks like his leg is bothering him. He has zero lift from his legs when shooting and just looks gassed when he has to make a play at the end of the shot clock.

Why set up a play. Just give it to X to dribble it around for 25 seconds and try to draw a foul.
