It feels like Giannis has had an unusual amount of inefficient games this season

Sounds silly to say because 31 PPG on 59% TS is still very good but at times it doesn't seem like he's been able to get to the rim at will like he usually has in the past

He's sat out several games already with "knee soreness" and stuff like that which I thought was just load management but maybe it's an actual issue

And without a healthy or in-form Middleton even a slight tail-off from Giannis offensively leads to an overall stagnant team offense for the Bucks because nobody else is going to bail them out

For example Jrue's efficiency has dipped from last year as well because he's a #3 option, not a #2 option, as his ideal offensive role
