Well shucks. KP IS a unicorn. A unique basketball player with unique skills....great at some things, good at others, and poor at a few more. So...I have to agree with Carlisle: it is his responsibility to put KP in a position to succeed. In fact, it's the coaching responsibility to put every player in a position to succeed... to determine how to most effectively use every single player. And the coaches are failing to do so. You can see this when the Mavs play good in spits and spurts...a very disjointed game. I am very hard on coaches. Not because I am a coach, but because I have been responsible for utilizing teams of people to best effect. How can you tell if the coaches are doing their job? If the team is running like a finely tuned machine...win or lose. I say win or lose because even if your team is running like a finely tuned machine and you lack talent you can't win all of them...but you will get some that you should have lost.
Ah well...this old driveway point guard likes his Mavs...
