But my small nitpick, KP hits his first two shots last night and then Luka looks for him again on the next possession in the post. It was either good defense, KP not sealing great or poor pass. The game was so awful, I will not go back. But there was a turnover. After that, I don't believe KP got another shot for awhile. If I am Luka, I would be trying to get 10 shots for KP in the first quarter. If Luka hits his first two shots, Is there any doubt he will get 10 shots? If we really want KP to be your number 2, then sometimes you need to treat him like that. If DFS hits his first two shots, the team will not look for him. I don't think you treat DFS and KP the same. Now, KP deserves blame too, but I would liked to see him force fed especially after his first two makes.
It seems like players come over the top on KP like Batum did last night preventing the pass down low to KP when he seemed to have his man pinned.
I dont get why that play seems to always end in disaster for the Mavs. Is it bad passes? Passer not anticipating the defender being able to come around and disrupt the pass to KP? KP has weak hands? KP has bad fundamentals/tools to create or make shot after receiving the ball?
KP seems to have these guys pinned for what should be an easy bucket...but doesnt end fruitfully.
