Is Brandon hurt?

This is the first game I haven't seen in total.  I caught the last two minutes.  Looking at stats only for this game, yet watching all of the rest of the games, I wonder, is Brandon hurt?  While his rebounds and assist numbers look Kidd like, I really doubt that he had the same effect on the game that Jason does.  I know his basketball IQ is extremely solid, but I am really beginning to wonder if he is hurt.  I know that he is being double and triple teamed, but at the same time is he really making his teamates better?  I know he can, but does he have the springs and explosion to make this happen.  Is this a mental issue, a physical issue (i.e. injury) or is he just not as great as we hope (think) he is.  I think (and hope unfortunately) that he is not 100%.  I know he wants to do well, he means to do well, he wants his team to do well, but it isn't necessarily happening.  Or is it just a sophomore slump?  Or is it he doesn't have the proper teammates surrounding his talent.  Please discuss and speculate.
