I don't know if he is tired or what. The fourth quarter reminded me a lot of a couple of games the previous week (Before all-star, Bulls and Sixers I think).
He can't be our only offensive option and shoot compulsively and force so many plays resulting on turnovers/bad shots in the last two seconds. We discussed that those days and the trend seems to be the same. Is he physically tired? Maybe. Is he mentally cooked? Maybe. Does he consider himself with all the King of the Fourth hype a Michael Jordan? Maybe. Have the opposite defenses adapted to lock him? Maybe. Should Stevens design plays for other players? Maybe.
Honestly, I don't know. But the last couple of weeks I've grown on the thinking of our inability to get a championship with Isaiah as our first attacking option. And now I'm not talking at all about defense, which is a bigger issue. Sorry if it sounds too pessimistic, since I love IT, son don't label me as hater. I'm not buying either the theory of how bad we'd be without Isaiah, because I know that; the issue is the way into banner 18, and if the Little Guy is a max-player FOR US.
Playoffs and the lottery will tell our management what to do regarding him.
