    He's just not playing well. Two rebounds?

    He shouldn't be waiting for the double team to come, he should be just shooting the ball.

    He should be crashing the boards. He's gotten so much bigger, I don't understand why he doesn't assert himself physically ala Boozer or Stoudemire. If he had a down year, our season is fucked.

    Gasol, Duncan, Stoudemire, Boozer to open the season ... not necessarily a full excuse, but something to think about.

    But on the bright side he fouled out of the game.

    He is not getting better like we would have hoped in his third year. This sucks. 4 rebounds a game?????? There are LOTS of PFs in the NBA who are playing better than LMA this year.

    LA was getting a lot of great looks. I think that he just started hesitating and waiting for the doubles to come, rather than taking shots that he should make.

    Of course, of the shots he SHOULD make, he wasn't making many.

    His rebounding has never been good and probably never will be. I'm not too worried about that.
