There is a logic behind that speculation.
Either way there is an incontrovertible fact standing behind it, or something: we weren't right from the opening tip. VERY obviously not right. for anybody who knows basketball it was obvious. We were laboring like mad. Breathing hard. Cousins the worst of the bunch. The legs were shot and the shots clanking off the front of the rim, the reactions slow. We looked exhausted from the start. Given the list of possible reasons, and the general obvious gasping for breath going on, looking to Mexico City's uniquer altitude/bad air combination is a real good place to start. Far LESS speculative than well, they ate bad food, parties too hard, suddenly didn't care, or whatever.
