It's something that worked for him in the past, but as players get older, quite often things that used to work, stop working, and it's up to the player to adapt. Recognizing those lanes and then making pass requires absolute precision timing. If his reflexes have slowed even a tiny fraction, I can see how it won't work any more, at least consistently.

When he's struggling he forces things and they don't work for sure.
Lately though they're getting through, and his teammates aren't finishing.
He could have had 6-8 points in the last three games.
