4) DJ was absent….again

Ever since January 26th when DeAndre Jordan was announced as an All-Star reserve, he hasn’t been playing like himself for some unknown reason. The trend continued tonight, as he only had 6 points and looked uncharacteristically lackadaisical on the defensive end. While we’re not sure what’s getting to DeAndre, hopefully he can move past it and return to being the powerful force we all know and love. But it could just be that he’s upset he had to cancel his trip to Hawaii…which is understandable.
