    Nate wore him out?

    He doesn't care now that he made the all star team?

    He is more a 2nd or 3rd option?

    Hes just not that into it?

    I say all of the above!

    Fatigue, both mental and physical.

    A little 'drive', too? He's made the AS team and his current team is a sinking ship.

    He's too easily pushed off the block these days. He doesn't bang in the paint anymore. He's a #2 option for sure.

    Theory: He hasn't changed, our perception has, because we see Przybilla playing at the same time.

    I think he sucks because Nate lost the team and Nate wasn't comfortable letting LMA be the guy and Nate made him an All-Star but then Nate got jealous and ruined him because Nate is a terrible coach who couldn't figure out how Nate would have a guard as an All-Star and a forward/center as an All-Star.

    That just means he's playing like the '07 LaMarcus Aldridge -- mid-range jumper.

    He shot 5-11 and had 11 rebounds, a rather paltry double-double. Also having double-doubles: Felton, Camby, and Kaman. Big deal.

    I'd say a combination of fatigue, and getting depressed over recent events.

    The second problem is likely to be temporary - particularly if some of his team-mates start playing harder. Unless Pryz can make a significant contribution, I'm not sure what can be done about the fatigue issue.
