Exactly.
I would agree that he has had some shooting trouble, and may not be taking as big of a load as he normally does, but he kinda did this last year too. He steps it up and takes the load when it's needed though, and he'll be ready for the playoffs. I think his mindset changed a bit after winning 67 games and then losing in the first round, the playoffs are what matters and he'll gear it up full force when they come.
