While it is true that the starters didn't execute down the stretch and didn't 
win these last two games own their own, you have to agree that it was the 
starters that developed the big leads in the last two games. Alot of the game 
is psychological and when the other team is going on a run, it is difficult 
to stop the momentum. You don't want to put yourself in a position where you 
have a tight game at the finish. When a team thinks they have a chance, they 
will try harder and give up more sweat and energy. That is why you try to win 
the game earlier.

When Bird was playing, those 5 starters would practically play the whole game 
because they had no bench. The game is the same. We haven't been pressing 
hardly at all. The starters should be able to play a lot more. At least, the 
rotation should be shortened. Pitino has in his mind what the team should 
look like, most likely with a pressing unit. They did win the game for us 
against the Pacers. However, they have sucked elsewhere. Pitino needs to 
modify his style to match the game today and with the personnel he has...
