Is it just me or has gasol's shot turned really goofy looking this season?

Like he's flinging his shots up or something?

A bit, I mean, his whole body is jerking about starting with a weird kick of the legs. At first I thought it was just his 3 point shot, gaining leverage with a leg kick and using his off hand get get more range, but I noticed he's doing it with his mid range jumpers too. His shot used to be really smooth, basically only jumping when he's off balance and using his non shooting hand as more of a guide. It's not a bad thing, just strange I suppose. He must have legitimately changed his mechanics to extend his shot, credit to him and the coaching staff for making it work.

If you check it out, he's down across the board except for 3's. Definitely something to keep an eye on

Good eye bro!

I noticed that his rebounding and his minutes hasn't been on average from seasons past. I didn't realized overall his stats were declining across the board. A bit strange indeed.
