    AD's shooting struggles have to be mental. how else could he go from shooting 33% from 3 in 19-20 and close to 40% in the playoffs to 18% in the span of just over a year?

    Some of it could be rust too though 432J. I mean he only played half of the games last season so that didn’t help. And then he was rehabbing in the off-season and missed a bunch more games this season as well.

    combination of the two, imo. i think the physical part started it, and then it became mental.

    i'd like to see him not take any threes that aren't corner threes, and to spend time in the offseason on the corner threes.

    Unless he’s hot, I would like him shooting no more than 2-3 threes a game.

    he averages under 2 attempts per game now. people have gone overboard on the idea that he shoots too much from the perimeter. it's just contrary to fact.

    His bubble shooting probably has to do with depth perception inside a gym vs shooting inside a stadium with moving people in the stands. A lot of players saw a big uptick in shooting in the bubble.

    This is a riot. Nowadays, there are some folks who think you would be better to live as a trans woman!! How far we have ventured.

    Not pinning this on him, but 17 & 7 isn't remotely good enough. Every single night he has to be putting up those numbers we saw against NY, Clipps, and Portland last week.

    Greek Freak doubled him up last night and there was no bounce back tonight. Was he tired from getting his a** kicked last night?


    Unacceptable

    He was terrible in the 4th quarter. It’s like he’s mentally checked out already. We badly needed a rebound in the last minute and he doesn’t even jump to get it and Portland gets the ball. Soft, soft, soft, soft…..did I say soft:Noddingyes:

    Honestly, AD can only play center sometimes, he just doesn't have the motor for it. If he's your center, you can't have a midget back court. We need big physical WINGS if he's center.
