I think a lot of the fall-off had to do with losing Ibaka and Gasol meant we were much weaker at center, and so we couldn't mask bad defense on the perimeter as much. And Thomas got burned a lot this year early in the season when he got minutes. I don't remember if he was also getting burned last season and Gasol and Ibaka were good enough to cover, but I suspect that was the case.
