Why Are LeBron, Carmelo and James Harden Suck At Shooting This Year?

[FlashDwyaneWade3]

It isn't just Kobe. LeBron, Melo and Harden are all shooting bad. I guess LeBron can't do it without D-Wade.

Season just started... calm down.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

HGH testing
players like Dirk, DMC, Steph, Wade, Bosh and Al Jeff are still shooting high efficiency since theyre so skilled

Kobe is coming off a long layoff and achilles injury in his 19th season

[CavaliersFTW]

LeBron looks significantly aged athletically. No quickness, bad back, dead legs.

As a result he can't finish at the rim, or even elevate on jumpers. Plus w/o Wade's attacking ability, intelligence, and off the ball pressure on defenses ... we're not going to see any more padded, selective 57% from the field for an entire regular season.

No more hounding wing defense with Chalmers, and Wade either to get steals for easy transition baskets.

LeBron's FG% the past few seasons always was fool's gold to anyone with a brain. Those percentages dropped a ton immedietly come post season when team's focus in and play actual defense.

Melo, he too his showing some physical decline. But mostly I think he hasn't found his groove yet.

Harden is getting even more defensive attention than he has the past few years, people treat him more seriously and unfortunately his 3 ball isn't falling for him. He never had a mid range game, and relies heavily on flops near the rim.

Lebron is looking more athletic every game though. If hes still like this mid December then I'll agree with you.

Yea, but even if healthy the fact that the Cavs can't create turnovers with defense like Miami for easy basket opportunities, and no intelligent off the ball slasher like Wade to keep more defenders honest will contribute to an even physically capable LeBron seeing a dip in FG percentage.

Did they really? Didn't he average 30 ppg on 50% for the entirety of the 2012 playoffs?
Only playoff run in Miami in which his percentages significantly dipped was in 2013, and that was mostly because Wade and Bosh were sucking so bad the other team didn't even bother guarding them, and instead focused 100% of their attention on Lebron. Didn't stop him from carrying the Heat to another chip doe.

His back is bothering him but lebron look somewhat slow at the start of every season the past 4 years. He'll be alright he's just missing chip shots early on.

Lebron has shot 47% or better from the field since his 2nd season, again he'll be alright

Lebron actually posted 57Fg% last season while facing maybe the toughest stretch of defenses for a perimeter player ever in the playoffs

They always suck and have never been all that eff in high volume

Sure you aren't Brian Windhorst?

LeBron- Playing a lot more off the ball, something he's not used to. Against the Pelicans where he had his best game of the season, he reverted back to LeBron ball.

Carmelo- He's too used to playing ISO. The intricacies of the triangle are beyond his grasp at the moment.

Harden- He is teh suck.

Huh? Harden is annoying to watch but he's efficient

[Genaro]

Too early in the season. Even Kobe will shoot about 44%

His raw Fg% is terrible. He's not eff at all.
