Looks like teams can just wear Luca down and while we have Delon, Jalen and Seth they don't seem to be able to create much against a higher level of pressure. 3/16 threes from Luca is to one dimensional and shows, the team needs to add alternative ways (from threes, lobs, open drives) of scoring to their arsenal. Maybe the can compensate that when fully healthy, and we shouldn't forget two starters where missed in Kristaps and Hardaway, but as it is know, this is a very unclutch team.Well, we do have a guard, JJ Barea, who is absolutely able to deal with pressure on the ball, but Rick will not play him, so we see these young guards fail, again and again. Barea has a knack for not only beating the defense, but drawing fouls on them as they try to defend him.
