Do you think there’s any part of it, that he’s just not as motivated as he might usually be, considering the offseason and his desire to leave Barcelona? Not that he’s tanking on purpose, but kind of subconsciously he can’t get himself into that final gear that separates him from the good/great, to the superstar anomaly he’s been.

Could be! But like I told someone else who had the same theory: that's impossible to prove. He's also had no problem overcoming any kind of "off field adversity" (or whatever the hell you wanna call it) in the past.
