Fixed that for you. Slovenia also has exhibited some of the same stagnant offensive problems as the Mavs when Luka is off the floor (especially early on), but any team would do that without their best player.
I absolutely think that it degenerated into a more hero ball system as Rick lost interest toward the end of the year (and yes, I think he was burning out on being here, and that could have multiplied when he realized that Indiana might have been open -- JUST my opinion, no sources, but I wouldn't be surprised if, in some interview 10 years from now or in someone's autobiography in the future, that this was confirmed.
