He was not his usual self tonight. No smiles, didn't enjoy the game as he usually does. It looked to me, he is not confident in himself in the fourth, like he was hoping others will do the job offensively. Missed FT.
He actually looks more and more tired every game - his percentage is dropping, his shot selection is getting worse. Fortunately they have 2 days rest till LAL.
This is why I think he needs another playmaker to feed off of; he is actually a terrible pull-up shooter. Brunson is potentially the best facilitator on the team; let Luka ease back a bit on-ball handling duties to lessen his burden and get cleaner, easier shots.
He is simply doing too much and it will kill him by midseason if nothing changes. Luka played poorly down the stretch last season because he was trying to do it all like he is now. DEN was throwing double teams at him to wear him out too.
