    This stops during the post season. I think this is a legit reason why his game drops in the playoffs.

      I think the orbital bone fractures (x2) and torn meniscus’ while being double/triple teamed with clown coaches plays a part as well

      It doesn’t stop though, he gets to the line plenty in the playoffs. You people just parrot whatever you see even if it’s wrong

        this is such an easy thing to understand but the average reddit user cant. He’s had a broken face twice, a knee sprain, a torn meniscus…dude’s just cursed

      This is statistically untrue. His post-season production is nearly identical to his regular season production. The only time it hasn’t is the last two years where he had a shattered face and grade 2 LCL sprain.

      The “playoff dropoff” is derived solely from two injury-plagued playoff runs.
