I was the one who made the comment about Luka bringing home that win and I stand by it. His hand and double teaming by the opposition did not stop him from being effective when he was not jacking up 3s...did it? Mavsluvr made the point about Luka having to trust his teammates more. Is that also a hot take by a fickle fan?
Most important player (not impactful) was something many folks here mentioned as the team lacks any sort of defensive presence inside when KP was not there. If you want to say impactful, that is fine too. KP at least tries to make an impact on the defensive end, unless your criterion for most impactful is just trying on the offensive end.
Even with Luka the team has struggled against the top teams. A huge part of it is on Luka because he tries to do way too much. The team is not so poor that he has to have the ball constantly in his hands or force a lot of poor shots. That is making excuses for heroball play when it is not needed. What do injuries have to do with it? Why not trust your teammates a bit more given that they have not fallen off a cliff in games Luka has not played? Why not save some energy on the offensive end and focus a bit more on the defensive end also?
