Tired legs imo. After this home stand and if/when the Dubs grow their lead on the #1 seed and Houston loses another game or two Leonard should be shut down for a week or so.
Over his last 20 games: 30% 3PT/ 84 % FT...
Whatever happened to his stroke on both shots .Just when i thought he is going to become an automatic 90% shooter and stabilize as a 39-42% 3PT gunner, he suddenly seems to be trending back down to his early career percentages..
Let's hope this is just blip (though a recent ty shot selection trend could be blamed on 3pt % dip)..Otherwise this could be an issue that lowers his ceiling and.....lose you playoffs games...

Agree with Robz...Hes been carrying the team and dominating all season, probably time to quit chasing the 1 seed since they blew it and just start resting him imo
Little fatigue. He'll be fine. Good for the rest of the team to have to find ways to win and play better.
Ya hope his orbital bone hit didn't jack up his vision and timing.
That and the "LMA as #1 option" Marty Popenheimer offense.
Everyone is worried.
84% FT shooting is nothing to worry about as it's still very good . Means about 9 more misses on 168 shots over the last 20 games. More impressively is getting to the line 8.5 times per game.
30% from three is a little more disconcerting but still is very different than a spot up shooter struggling like that. He's hitting less because of tighter defense and more ball dominance. It's not like defenses will stop completely defending him from the line and it impacting the rest of the offense. Perhaps more forcing him to drive, but results there are rock solid.
Regressing prior to the playoffs per par tbh...
It's particularly disconcerting because he has very average handles among the superstar SFs. He's always had trouble beating people off the dribble. I think that weakness will be exacerbated if doesn't get back to 40% on 3s.
When you ride your main horse so hard all year, he's bound to get tired.
Ugh..Dude can't buy one behind the arc..
Superstars don't get tired.
0-7.
Didn't he go 4 of 6 last game, or something like that?
His 3pt shot is broke.
There's a difference between regression and slumps. Even the best of shooters have slumps.
Obviously he's been unreal in the 2nd half of the season, but we really need him being a consistent deep threat in the playoffs. We're not winning a le with him shooting 30% from 3.
He's shooting too many 3s. That's part of the problem.
Tired legs at 25 years old.
He will bounce back when it counts. Not worried about Kiwi.
imagine if Danny and Kawhi both get their shot back in the playoffs, and LMA starts playing aggressive in the block...
Hes not tired. He's just not making his 3s
EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!!!
He'll be better rested with more time between games in the PO's.
