For a player considered a superstar, this level of inconsistency is definitely concerning, especially in back-to-back games. Scoring single digits and having to rely on 38 year old LeBron to carry the team is just unacceptable

Real story is AD has been less aggressive offensively since he started playing the 5 full-time, likely due to all the wear-and-tear of carrying the Lakers’ defense on his back every night. Back when he was the PF and had McGee, Dwight, Gasol, and Drummond to soak up contact at the rim he was very consistent offensively, and it’s no coincidence that LeBron (who plays the 4 now) has taken up a lot of AD’s old scoring load.
