I think if KP can just come out more aggressive and get better offensive position around the lane, he can put a lot of pressure on whomever is guarding him, and get to the line more as well. He should be taking close to 10 FTs per game. If he can step it up a bit, the Mavs may just win this series.Agree that if KP could step it up, that would be enormous.
I think it might be doable. KP needs to have the appropriate attitude to play his assigned role, which he seems to be grudgingly coming around to, at least for this series. And the coaching staff probably needs to make an adjustment to put him into position for better looks, if they can do it without wrecking the rest of the offense. It's possible that the Clips could take Kawhi off him. It would be interesting if the coaches/team could figure out a way to unleash the lethal but little-used KP-Luka PNR.
