Re(1): #430 - Why do some team pairings never seem to click?

A lot of it is motivation...and I'm sure is some is the fact that not all players like each other...lol.

As far as motivation, ever notice when a crummy partner is paired with a world class partner, the crummy partner plays like a world class partner? See this all the time at all the frontons, and it proves that motivation is a very, very big factor in this sport.

Right now, though, at Miami, several players are totally out of it. Jon is 40 and 0 in game 3 and 41 and 1 in game 4. That has to be the most shocking stat I have ever seen at Miami, for a player who is still very good.

Aldazabal is totally, TOTALLY, out to lunch lately, and his stats have fallen down to record lows for him. Right now, those two, with anyone are not even a factor. So, some players run hot and cold, too.
