    Dude can jump out of the building and aggressively attack the rim when he's fed the ball, but if he has to do a layup or putback by himself his vertical jump suddenly plummets to 5 inches. Tonight I was like "Jesus Christ dude, just DUNK the ******* ball".

    He hasn't always been that way and he's not always that way right now, but I agree it has been happening more than usual recently. He used to created a few makes with quick, powerful moves in the post but that's not happening as much. He usually takes his game up a level in the playoffs though so that's good. Also we forget Clint has always been slow to acclimate himself to 30+ minutes and I feel like he JUST got himself to that point in the last few games. Running out of steam on gimmies is a classic sign of tiredness.
