Is there an endurance issue with our short bench

I am not trying to be funny and would really like some of you former players to answer the question...I would guess that over time we should anticipate tired legs, slower reflexes,etc.

We played three games (two road) in six days. That's tough for any team, let alone a team with two bench players. Yes, fatigue will definitely be a factor.

Add in an ankle that's probably a week or more from fully recovered, a knee that continues to ache (at best), and food poisoning that dehydrated (and worse) more than half the team not a week prior.

After Saturday, we have a week off. That should help quite a bit.
