after observing the box score, Fox with 24 shots, Malik with 16 and then you have Sabonis with 11, while making 9 of them. he simply needs to take more shots, I keep saying this and will continue to say so. If he isn't looking for his offense more, you leave Fox and Malik on an island as they chuck away

It's the cost of deferring to Fox because he's an All Star and to Monk because he's 6th Man of the Year material and not having the cojones to stop them from doing the hero ball "show" BS. As Murray said, it's their "show" in the 4th quarter with a lead. So they win against mediocrity playing the "I'm so great" hero ball, and then go down in flames against better teams. It's EGO - being "the man," padding the stat sheet, wanting the glory, some or all of the above. Whatever it is, it's not team oriented. And it is incredibly stupid. Unfortunately, they get away with this crap just often enough that they think they can keep doing it.

I love the fact that you used the word "ego" here. Ego is mans worst enemy, in my opinion.
