1) Clap, clap, clap --- You beat me to it. Just like FREAKIN Kirk over a MMB who thinks that was KP guarding Olynk. KP was guarding Wood... Wood had 22/10 and KP had 23/12 -- while Melli had? yeah, I know.
2) To KL above --- 23 points on 10-19 is FREAKIN' good game when the rest of the team is performing way worse. How is 9-26 a better option? (and it was even worse, because Luka went 2-3 on wide open layups when the game was out of hand and Houston was letting people run at the basket).
3) And the "we can't do worse" crap needs to go. It selectively ignores that KP's 23/12 were a part of that game last night and if you put Powell in his place to replace that production and put up 19 shots -- which wasn't coming from anyone else -- it would have been a much bigger loss.
Face it...the problem is always going to be KP, and it doesn't matter what the truth is or what actually is the problem. If we trade KP, then who will we blame?
The facts are the Luka, as wonderful as he is and HE IS, will NOT win a championship by himself. KP isn't another win where you can take turns ala Leonard and George...
If KP is going to be maximized, Luka, the PG, will determine how well that happens, because there is no offensive big man in history that EVER was maximized offensively without an offensive system and a PG that set him up to do so.
Joel Embiid doesn't bring the ball up the court. He needs to offense to set him up.
