Last year I was pretty burned out by the Christmas break and again by the end of the season. This year I'm not burned out, and I've had more games. I think the difference this year is that I've got other things going on in my life (we just finished building a house, I'm in school, etc.). So give this a shot, when you have a day or two off, do something fun and fulfilling to you personally and don't give bball a thought. Don't check the board, don't polish your shoes, don't talk to your bball buddies. Might be enough to get you through the next couple of weeks. YMMV
