I don't see how it can be muscle related when he also shorts a lot of shots nowadays. He more often misses short than he does miss wide, so if anything he lacks power.
It's wild how disrespectful the whistle is for Russ. He already has so much working against him as a 6'3 guard without a shot, but the fact that he can get mauled when attacking the rim for no calls just tanks his scoring efficiently easily by 20%.
OKC honestly has gorgeous movement and cutting. There is almost always someone slashing mid paint or shifting down the 3pt arc.
It helps that they have just stupid spacing from their 4's and 5's, but goddamn.
Isaiah Joe creating his own shot from 3pt range is a cheat code.
He can cry into the millions about it, or the thousands of instragram thots that are older than him where he could've avoided any bullshit in the first place.
Harden and Kawhi are a crime against basketball. They couldn't even be bothered to try and play defense, letting the spurs go on that massive run to close the 1st half and then at the end there.
Browns are running that Madden offense. Hike, throw slant, repeat.
"let me stretch this graph for no reason so I can choke on Curry's dick."
Yeah, he's the best 3pt shooter, but he's not "on another planet" dawg.
I hate how offensive players can be nearly parallel to the floor with these shoulder checks to create space and get rewarded for it. It's fucking embarrassing.
KDs handle has never been that great. It's primarily why the best defenders on him have been Wade, Allen, and such. They get low, throw him off balance, and don't let him step into shots by attacking his handle.
While he can shoot over anyone, he does so by getting to a spot while properly balanced and he likes to use a little pre-hop into the actual shot which those guys took away.
KD has lost a lot of athleticism that could overcome the poorer handle. That said, he's not washed at all. He'll likely continue to shoot his way back into another 50/40/90 season with no problems. It's just going to be more of an issue in the playoffs when teams are looking to hone in on that weakness.
