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.
Starts with the angle/position and KP has no clue where to post up. He just randomly pinns smaller defenders all over the court. Next important part is spacing. Cannot post up with a guy in the strong side corner and a big in the dunkers spot. Easy to help. Easy to jump the entry pass.
Maybe the Mavs need to bring back the "Dirk fadeaway" silhouette in the ellbow area. Perfect spot for a post up.
