Thunder F Paul George: Shot ‘feels funny’ as shooting slump continues

-
Paul George's shooting has noticably dropped off the past month, and it hasn't helped Oklahoma City, which has lost five of its last seven games.
The slump continued in the Thunder's 111-107 loss to the Warriors on Tuesday where he made only 5-of-19 from the floor and 3-of-9 from 3-point range. After the game, George admitted there's something wrong with his shot adding it "feels funny."
"There's something mechanical in my shot," George said (via ESPN). "I've had struggles throughout the season and my career of shooting, but it's all just been about not making shots. I don't know what it is. It feels funny. Shooting the ball feels funny. So I'm going to work with the trainers and try and figure that out. But I don't feel myself shooting the ball right now."

"It's just my shooting, period," he added. "I don't know what's stiff, what's tight. Something's going on in my shooting."
George has proven to be a key part of Thunder's lineup, averaging 21.6 points per game and earning his fifth All-Star appearance in six seasons. Still, the "mechanical" issue has to be concerning for Oklahoma City as the team is currently in a tight playoff race with the rest of the Western Conference.

A Somali metalcore/deathcore Artist just when you thought you heard  everything. This is the type of art everyone needs to hear one that is not simply formed of inner-city struggle and then you just do the obvious thing and get pigeonholed into making drill or hip-hop, or whatever is deemed to be as the kids say “popping” at the time. This is not also a story of privilege where your parents gave you every advantage there is, you studied music  at the best schools and college, and your father finally decided to cash in on that favour the big music executive owes him. No this is a story of falling in love with a music genre that no one in your immediate circle understands. Realising, people you have known for years think you are weird and perhaps worship satin. This is a story of losing friends because they want  you to conform and just be “normal”. This is a story of being someone you choose to be  rather than what people expect you to be and standing up for your individuality.   This r

  Where are you from and what’s it like in your hometown? I am born and mostly raised in New Bedford, Massachusetts. New Bedford is full of hardworking and creative people. It's got It's ups and downs just like everywhere. For me it's home and where I feel the most comfortable. The art scene is really taking off over these last few years and added with some great restaurants, it's really growing. What inspired you to develop your craft as a music artist? The journey started without music. Poetry started as a way out from the world. It saved my life. So I guess you could say my struggle with depression at an early age was the match that lit the fire. After that it was just curiosity and finding out where I wanted to go with it and being open to new adventures. Has the lifestyle of being a poet influenced your personal life in any way?  If so would you care to shed light on your experience? Poetry has literally saved my life a couple times. I get lost in my head and writi
