If players are out of shape it's a huge factor.

Meanwhile in less than 2 weeks 32 teams will be playing outside in Brazil where it will likely be in the 90s and humid. Including the games played in the freaking Amazon.

Yeah, LeBron's out of shape...
It happened to affect him the most and the Heat prob lost because of it.

Crazy thing is that the fact that athletes are more muscular is whats causing more injuries IMO. A guy like Duncan and Allen are able to play through it because they are more lean than Lebron.

You realize playing outdoors limits the burden the heat causes right?

90+ degrees with high humidity or mid 80s gym. I know which one I'd choose. I've played in both. Not to mention the added annoyance of the Sun. Soccer and Football in high heat is way way way way way worse than basketball in no AC.

Do you understand how oxygen works?

Yes. Do you understand how rests, sun, and lower temperatures work?

The average NBA playoff game is 2 and a half hours. Suppose the starters play 40 minutes (none do usually) that still leaves 1 hour and 50 minutes of rest. These are guys who grew up playing outdoors in oppressive heat for th emost part and playing indoors in unairconditioned gyms for most of their lives (except some of the old guys who've got 15+ years NBA experience) Seriously it's not like every gym in the world is airconditioned and this is some unconscionable example of cruelty.
 
Holy ****. You guys need a time out. I'll ask it again... Did only one team play in the vicious no AC environment????

No, it was like the 91 world series where the A/C was only blowing in the direction for the Twins. UGH!
 
Speaking of that...how is it possible that mlb never said anything about that revelation. The 91 world series trophy should belong to the Braves.

LeBron is not in stamina shape no. He's a sprinter who's built to play an ideal 40 minute game. That's his conditioning. This wasn't ideal, he struggled.

Well that was hardly the only thing they got away with. We were screwed, plain and simple, I can't recall a team actively getting shafted the way we did that year.

Inside is more brutal for sure.

Assuming they used the same list that had the Falcons only having 8 above average starters, I call bunk.

Seriously, they consider Willy Mo average.

Falcons have the 30th best roster according to the analysis. TD is overrated if you ask me. We will see if his picks the last two years pan out because the Falcons are in a lot of trouble if you ask me. They need BIG TIME contribution from the 2014 draft.

Yeah and that's why that list is bunk. Also shows how important QB play is since the Falcons will likely be at least a .500 record.

Seriously though, by most standards and reports, Willy Mo is considered one of the best safeties in the NFL, and he's average according to their system.
