You know, I hate to say it, but the impression that KP gives me is that he expects success to come easily. Seems like he's used to being so much taller than other players that he doesn't yet realize how hard he is going to have to work in the NBA. Dwight Howard also used to give me that vibe. When a play didn't work out, he'd kind of sulk and slack around, instead of immediately getting back into the game. KP is just going to have to significantly ramp up his energy level, focus, and determination if he wants to help the Mavs win these tough games. And every game is a tough game for the Mavs!
