Mavs 107, Kings 121

To me, it's not that simple of an evaluation.  What is more important to me is the quality of the shots the different players are getting.  A lot of Luka's shots are 10 on a scale of 10 in difficulty.

Exactly.  100

It's not simply " you get your number, I get my number", it's get the best shot at the right time to the right player fulfilling the right role so the TEAM can win the game.  Continually making things as difficult as you can when you have a guy with a wide open shot is stupid.  That's dumb basketball.  

It's do you trust your teammate when the game is on the line to get them the ball when it's the right basketball play and beyond that, do you trust the stars on the team to do that.  Right now, that's not happening. 

Is KP being a butt?  Maybe.
Is Luka trying too take on too much because he believes he's that much better?  Maybe.
Is KP Michael Jordan and the number 1 on this team?  Of course he's not.

Unless you expect Luka to score 70 points a night with 20 assists, then you probably better figure out a way to trust KP and get this fixed, because if we roll into the playoffs playing hero ball and the "I dont' trust my teammate" vibe that is coming from KP and Luka...then we are going down hard.

Luka has made a living going in the lane, knowing where exactly all 4 of the other players are and the passes that some people love to praise Luka for and talk about his vision being amazing and all of that...AND it IS!... are nothing to any of the passes that I've pointed out in the examples I've used above...to ILLUSTRATE A POINT, not put up a comprehensive detailed 5 hour documentary on each second of the game... I'm sorry I didn't put up a video edited with multiple layers of motion graphics for some of the mentally deficient to picture...but the pictures were more than enough to make the point if you aren't driven by an agenda to kiss Luka's tail and live by the fingers in your ears, nananananana fantasyworld where you demonize anyone who points out a deficiency and expects better.

Good grief.

But those are just lame excuses because omahen doesn't want to deal with reality..
