So far, it seems it is the first. It worked for three quarters but when Houston stepped a notch defensively, it just fell apart. Defense is what wins the rings, not offense.It´s cause we have nobody besides Luka that can create his own shot. Not Porzingis. Not Seth. Not THJ. Most certainly not Wright, Kleber or DFS. The closest we have to a secondary playmaker is Brunson. Though we are a historically great offense on paper (and you identified the problem), when teams step up their defensive effort against Luka, we have no other off the dribble creators. Ideally we´d acquire CP3, Oladipo or Holiday to cover veteran leadership, play-making and perimeter defense all in one.
