He is expected to have further tests on his hip soon.

Well, that makes a difference. Take average physical abilities and then complicate them by an injury, and that certainly would affect his performance. Agreed, it does not completely absolve him of his incredible mental errors and, in fact, shows his continued inability to play within himself (if you know you are not 100%, then you gotta play accordingly). At the same time, he may have been pressing a little once it became clear he wasn't guarranteed a spot. We'll see.

For now, however, it's all moot. He ain't gonna be playing in 2009. The hero worship will just have to wait until 2010.
