It seems to me that this team peaked going into January and several players fell off at the close of January. From what I can ascertain it all started right around the time that Melo tripped on that ref in the Boston game. Melo missed the next 2 games and then had a relapse in the Charlotte game which they lost and he missed the next 2 following games which the team also lost. So that is 5 games lost which directly tie to Melo not being there.
This is not to say that the team would've been able to maintain the level of play if Melo had not been injured but it seems like a very likely source of the least part of the sudden downturn the team took.
