Because the play calls in the video featured him in the midrange/ellbow area. Not catch and shoot but iso or post up. Your post also highlighted the post ups the Knicks created for him. Anything that features KP with the ball in his hands in midrange/ellbow/post up situations is close to the bottom of my play calling list for the Mavs.
And going back to killerleft´s point. It is not as easy as you might think to create open shots with set plays. That´s why most (if not all) teams are running some kind of flow offense these days. Still part of the game but not nearly as frequent as they used to be.
Not to mention that I always question highlight tapes. Fun to watch and useful when we are talking about unknown players (prospects, internationals) but in KPs case we have all seen him in those situations. We know that he missed more shots than he made in the mentioned game. What would you do if I simply showed you all the shots he missed?
