Luka and KP injuries certainly didn't help but I'm trying to think what our best win of the season is. When we defeated winning teams in the past, it feels like the opposing team wasn't at full strength. I think our Wolves win with our replacements is probably the team's best win of the season. Ball movement has seemed better while we are shorthanded.
Iztok commented this morning on the effect Luka's absence has had in this regard. He concludes that more passing doesn't necessarily result in better shots.
He notes that overall shot quality has improved, but largely because Luka and THJ aren't on the floor taking their tough shots. Shot quality for JB, KP, and Powell has decreased with Luka out, especially shots at the rim.
