Dude is not knocking down his jumpers like he usually does
First time? Dame has a knack for starting slow. I wouldn’t start being concerned until after the AS break.
Having Dame drive is a game changer in the 4th. He gets the ball on our side, and you don’t have to be scared out of your mind what is going to happen, and teams are scared to foul him.
Before you know it, he is already at the other side, driving to the paint, drawing contact and going to the line.
And if things don’t work, you have an elite passer to organize your offense in the clutch. Which is as big for us because Giannis feeds off of that and is feasting in the clutch.
If we are not the most clutch team in the league, we are close to that.
What’s more important is that there’s still huge room for improvement, all around.
Dame has also never been this old. 🤷
Yup. Jumper looks like he’s a little short on power through his legs right now.
Still .601 TS% because of those drives. It’ll be worse for the league if they ever start going to P&R as frequently as Philly. Lillard does his best work off that, by far.
