I think both are true to an extent, and maybe the biggest issue is that the team in general just hasn’t had quite enough experience dealing with that type of pressure. They sure did not look super prepared to deal with it tonight. If Luka keeps playing like this they are going to see a crap ton of that in the playoffs, so they need to work on it. Having Brunson on the floor isn’t enough if he and Luka don’t know how to work together in those situations.
All about coaching. The spacing is terrible and Luka struggles to find a single open man. More often than not two guys are in the corner, one in the dunkers spot and one guard at the top of the key.
Player in the dunkers spot has to move up to the highpost/FT-line, top of the key area. One of the guys in the corner needs to cut to the rim. Gu
