Haven't watched Kleber in awhile, but does he always look like his form struggles to get it to the rim? I've seen him play but I never noticed that

At this point I would be surprised if that didn't happen. Also with the way the game is refereed, they are getting at least one player fouled out in the 4th.

Wasn`t lack of effort, he is afraid to go to the floor.

Before he got hurt in the Clippers series, he had hit 4 threes in that game. Shame that it was a shoulder injury. He probably doesn't really feel comfortable shooting 3's yet as opposed to something closer to the rim.

To be fair, his shoulder is absolutely cooked. That is NOT his normal shooting form.
I had a separated shoulder once. The wrong angle sent me into a world of pain lol cannot imagine playing on one.

I was suspicious he got healthy right when Lively got ruled out.

I honestly feel like Maxi Kleber's effort has been fine, he is just playing incredibly injured. His team needed someone to fill minutes with Dereck Lively out, and he stepped up, despite not being healthy enough to play.

Minny playing with fire, too close of a game with two of the best closers in the NBA on the other side.
