Rak's Back?

[ROCorange]

I was down on the floor before the game today. Rak did nothing but stretch pregame (took no more than 3 warmup shots/lay ups) and was pointing at different places on his lower back with a trainer in between pregame stretches. My buddy and I both had a sinking feeling as we watched. Aybody know if there is anything to this?? Would certainly explain a lot about the last 2 games...

He's looked like something's been bothering him since Pitt. Lots of off-target shots and really bad TOs. It wasn't just Okafor. He's not running the floor like he was earlier either.

Good post. There was also a sequence where he was slow getting back due to some sort of injury. I'm not sure if that was related.

I would imagine after some of the beatings he's taken this year that back must be hurting. If they called some fouls it might help.

probably hurts from carrying the team this season

He barely shot during halftime too - mostly sat on the bench.
