He had actually been shooting very well for a few weeks up until the last 2 or 3 games, so I don't really know. I think he's hesitant to drive into the paint on a consistent basis in halfcourt sets in order to avoid the wear and tear, I also think he's consciously not doing as much hard cutting/starting and stopping like he used to do, he either goes full bore or he doesn't, there isn't alot of in between, which is part of what made him great. I also don't think he's seeing the court particularly well and for whatever reason his handle has been terrible, which I don't really understand. I also think his mentality is that he doesn't care how much he's missed, he believes that for the team to win he has to be aggressive, so he keeps shooting.
To be fair the paint has been really packed because we lack shooting as per usual and I think he's still feeling himself out and finding what he's comfortable with. His general carelessness with the ball is what really bothers me though, it seems like he makes his mind up ahead of time in terms of what he's going to do and then does it come hell or high water. I also think he legitimately doesn't care as much about the regular season anymore, I have no real basis for this but his demeanor/body language seems that way to me, and it's a big mistake if he thinks he and the team can just elevate their games once the playoffs start.
We'll see though, he's shown flashes of his old self but is very inconsistent, which isn't all that surprising.
