Very concerned about KP's interview, and his body language.

On-court? Or in the interview?

In this interview. Its like he says with his body language, something is really wrong behind the scenes, and he is not happy. Without saying it directly with words. At least, how I interpret it. Also strange thing, is that he doesnt think the roles are defined (questioning the coach?), and he questions the chemistry of the team (questioning teammates?). Thats not common remarks IMO and one should watch out going in this direction directly to the media... There is something going on with KP and the team, perhaps, as also there was some smoke in that direction from two games before and the flow of the ball movement stalling in 1st quarter, and selfish play.
Hope it all sorts out. The key is to lower KPs role until he is back to full strength, and gradually increase it. He can play a lot better than right now, we do know that.

I second that love you, Maxi. As fans a lot of us really care about our guys, especially when life throws them an incredibly tough curve ball like having Covid.

He definitely took his time choosing his words on a couple of those answers. But other than that I didn't really notice anything that jumped out to me in a negative way.
Who knows...*shrug*

"Its like he says with his body language, something is really wrong behind the scenes, and he is not happy."
I didn't think this ^ was really in the interview at all.
He was saying they haven't had a chance to get defined roles and chemistry yet. That's unfortunate (but to be expected). It's the INEVITABLE result of almost no camp and then ZERO games with the top 7-8 all in place playing together and figuring out what works best.
KP's game is still meh as he jacks up bad shots (long long 3s that he makes a low pct on) early in the shot clock, as if that's the ideal shot. That's on him alone, to get better positioning and take better shots. And he's not very diligent on defense or rebounding. But they need missing pieces back and playing at their normal level in order to get better opportunities for everyone.
