I think Maxi is off, brutal shooting slump, mad misses and the good ones are in and out - that combined with the fact that he has to guard the opponent's best player and also switch positions (he payed a lot of C last night) qould be enough to explain his struggles. Moreover, he is and has always been a role-player who needs rhythm. He had his clear-cut role as a spot-up-shooter in the corner or a screener in the pick and roll. This changed, the game for him has a totally different flow and dynamic, hence his shooting issues. He's getting touches in situations he's not used to. I think this might be the biggest factor in all of this.
