You might well be right, but just a reminder since it doesn't seem to even get consideration as a possible factor before some other people have been going off the deep end about this: he did actually miss a game or two with the flu just a couple of weeks ago when this decline started. I expect that was the major factor initially, perhaps accellerating any wall effect and perhaps having more effect on him than others in some ways because of the recovering alcoholism (not necessarily just physical, but also in disrupting the structure that is usually key to the balance of a recovering addict's life) - he certainly looked a bit like gritted teeth from the first game I saw him when he came back.

Individually, I think Vin Baker may be hitting a wall.  It's been years 
since he put out this kind of sustained effort and I think it's beginning 
to tell.
