I mean this in the least derogatory way possible. But there's a mental component/composure to his game that he lacks, and I'm not sure what motivates him.

He was a total non factor tonight. He looked gassed and tired. Hardly posted up. Just really frazzled, and he reminded me of his game 7 performance.

And this is why I find it hard to buy into the "top 3 player in the world" narrative.

There's just something missing. Guys have off nights, but he just seems disengaged at times.

Philly fans, does he still have a fatigue issue? It wouldn't surprise me if he generally took tonight off, so to speak, after a back to back.
