I have not seen a starting player this SUCKAGE for a while. Almost every highlight that involves Robin is him getting blocked or stolen or whatever.
Back injury? Isn't Robin still very young? If he can't play like an average NBA player at age 23, what else can he do later?
This is scary.
Two players that are not even half of what they were last year... Robin and Dragic. If the injuries are that bad, maybe they shouldn't play?
In responding to your thoughts, I believe there really is no similarity between Dragic and Lopez.
Goran Dragic was caught in the Steve Nash syndrome. Trying to be Steve and play Steve's game at Point Guard. The same with Barbosa. It just doesn't work.
Ironically, yesterday Aaron Brooks abandoned that approach vs. the Raptors in our back-to-back following the triple overtime game vs. the Lakers.
He had 25 points and 8 assists in 33 minutes and led us to a come-from-behind victory. Even Gentry has said that he's got to be himself.
As far as Robin the Boy Wonder, watch two things when he's on the court and you'll see why he's failing.
He actually looks like he has never played the game before and is trying to figure it out while the game is going on.
And unless the ball falls right to him with no one else around, he doesn't catch rebounds, he slaps them to no one in particular or out of bounds.
His basketball IQ is horrible, especially on defense and rebounding.
His stats for the season are 7.2 points and 3.5 rebounds in 56 games. But 25 of those games were before Gortat arrived and some games afterwards until we realized just how good he is.
