I agree with observations except that the "inconsistent effort" is a result of his nagging injuries, and I would get rid of the question mark on lingering health issues -- Bird winces every time he moves and sometimes it looks like the former dunk contestee can now barely clear the rim. His inability to jump through the roof has taken the bird out of Birdman, and he should sit for a couple of weeks.
I'm not so much worried about his inconsistent effort, but it's him falling for pump fakes and not being aware of 3-point shooters.
"Bird winces every time he moves and sometimes it looks like the former dunk contestee can now barely clear the rim"
Magster - please show evidence of Bird clearing the rim during the dunk contest.
Hey, he's looked pretty good the last two games. Proving again, I know nothing.
