Usually going with multiple guys for the offensive board at the risk of letting the paint open for a fastbreak by guards

It seems we disagree on a pretty fundamental level here. If you believe that a lower body injury cannot impact one's shooting then, well, we just aren't going to ever agree. Do you really believe that all 3 of Randle, Embiid and Haliburton just coincidentally started shooting poorly once they got injured? Is this really your claim? Because if that's your claim, then it's a piss poor claim.
Haliburton may indeed shoot poorly in this series. He did shoot poorly against Milwaukee after all. But that's not who he is as a player going forward. Same goes for Randle last season and any other player that plays through injury. You may disagree with this notion but injuries do indeed limit players.
Come down to Earth after being a 40+% shooting for his entire college and NBA career until he got injured?
You’ve got to be trolling.

Tbh, at this point, i don't think we can say anymore that all of his struggles are only caused by his injury four mouth ago.xxSnEaKyPxx wrote:RHODEY wrote:xxSnEaKyPxx wrote:Come down to Earth after being a 40+% shooting for his entire college and NBA career until he got injured?

At this point, claiming you are trolling would make you look better.

Did he really come back to earth ? Are teams more prepared defending him ? Is he having trouble adjusting to losing buddy heild and playing a lot with nembhard and siakam in the starting lineup (who are not elite shooters)?
All of the above ?
Regarding his shooting pourcentage, he is also simply taking A LOT of bad shots.
It's true that he looks slower out there but his bad hamstring have nothing to do with him taking all those ill advised shots.
You also have to consider that he is playing garbage defense.
Only Time will tell but i don't think it's stupid at this point to ask if his true level is not somewhere between what we are seeing right now and what he was doing at the beggining of the year.
He is still having, while struggling, a huge impact out there though.
