I've worked almost 40 3-person games this season and no 2-person games. Haven't had a bit of soreness this year *at all* -- first time in a long, long time. I attribute a lot of that to not having to work the perimeter as the T as hard as you have to in a 2-person game.

You are correct there. You don't have to work the perimeter as hard, but I think overall, if you still hustle and do what you are supposed to do you come out of there physically tired.

Not saying that anybody on this board isn't hustling whether it's 2 man or 3 man.

I just feel the same physically in a 2 or 3 man game. Now an up and down game might be a little different. Especially if you get the luxury of being in the "C" for a good chunk of a game like that.

My point is that I think different parts of the body are worked. The achilles tendonitis that has plagued me the last 10+ years hasn't touched me this season.

I still run as hard up and down the floor and still sweat just as much -- I just move *differently* in 2-person than I do in 3-person.

I hear ya! I think if you have any sort of ailment, a 3 man crew can help with that. Just another benefit!
