Mbakwe

Trevor looked like he was tired out there today. Seems to have lost some of his lift and rebounding mojo the last couple games. None of the big guys looked terribly confident/energetic today.

I feel like he looked frustrated - he got into some foul trouble, and is a competitor, so I would guess he wasn't happy. I'm sure his mojo is still there, but I certainly agree with your comment on our big men. With that being said - and I know I sound like a broken record, without Nolen running plays and being able to get the ball down in the post to them, they are not getting a chance to do what they do best.

Agreed. Mbakwe just seems out of it the past few games...can't really put my finger on it, but he just looks like he can't give 100%.

Mbakwe may be hitting his freshman wall.

I think having no one besides HOff who can make a three makes it tough on the packed in interior. Sit Rodney until he can hit 1 out of 3 from 3. Give the young guys like chip and HOllins a chance. Chip can drive and Hollins has a decent stroke and a great feel for the game.

Teams are more familiar with him, playing him smarter, and their job is made easier without Al. He has to adapt his game or his touches are going to continue to be limited, and he's going to keep having foul difficulties.

True, and also control his emotions. It's a fine line.

All of the above is true, and I'll add that he's probably exhausted from carrying the team on his back.

Bingo!
