    If you think I don't get the difference then it a pointless conversation. I watch the games, I don't pour over the stats. His jumper was looking pretty good minus the 3,'s for that stretch to me.

    AD has shot like crap from 3 since the beginning of last season. When does something become a trend and not an outlier?

    Top 5 talent.

    Not top 20 in impact.

    I know that's hard to read, but inconvenient truth.

    You nailed it abeer3: it’s the inconsistent effort of our top 2 players that has been our biggest issue and the fact that the after game talk has been extremely hollow. Show us by your play!

    Yikes. Pass him the torch now ... it's time. :eek: Can lead by getting teammates into physical confrontations with him in bench area. Byron would love it.

    Worst 3% in history so far this year with at least 2 attempts, midrange and jump shot worst in NBA with number of attempts, shooting a career worst free throw percentage but best field goal percentage within 5 ft. of any player in the NBA averaging at least 6 attempts per game….but yeah, keeping chucking because that working out so well.

    it is early, but the downward trend in his perimeter shooting is pretty long now. i still think a good bit of has to do with the kinds of shots he's taking, some of which is his fault, some is coaching, some is surrounding personnel. as i've said several times, we haven't really built a team or system that maximizes AD's talents on offense.

    That's because despite all Lebron's talk about passing the torch or whatever, Lebron teams always end up playing the Lebron system. It's the only system he can play in.

    i just think all this "passing the torch to AD" stuff is bs. that hasn't and won't happen. the only smart thing management did lately was make sure no contracts except AD's extended past lebron's, though.

    Well he was hurt, he looked pretty dangerous against Phoenix being hurt too. Besides next year.. we haven't gotten there yet. AD is a baller..he'll be alright.

    Dude was hurt last year, this one just started. I would like to see his shooting numbers in May. I expect him to have a big season this campaign.
