Let's let him work through it, but yeah... his FG% has dropped back down to his "normal" level of "volume shooter". At least his defense is still improved.
It's so weird, ever since his shoe deal. Or the fall he took on his back. Not sure which one is messing with him. Maybe the "BOOST" in the shoes is giving him too much bounce and throwing off his arc/shot. Or maybe hes just tired. Hopefully after the All* break he'll come back firing right.
The "boost" certainly has him dunking more often. You gotta wonder if that's what Adidas wanted and it's affected his shooting.
To me it's ridiculous and you never heard of it twenty years ago but I'm sure this has more to do with the 'dog days' of the season. It goes back to the mental part of it of turning it off and on. He's fine. He will show you as such soon enough.
Before Lillard started to slump shooting... Teams were trying to rough him up and get really physical with him. Not sure if he's ever faced that in his NBA career. I'm sure he'll come around. The 9 days off will do him well.
I will say this 1 million times over and over again. The fact that he's taking it to the hole, getting to the line more and finishing at the rim, it will make our team so much better for the playoffs. The threes are great and all, but I want something more than that. Dame has the ability to be deadly from everywhere on the court, which is bad news for the rest of the league.
