KP isn't getting touches and scoring because he's incapable of it. He has no feel for the game unless he's just putting up points on bottom-feeders.
That's ridiculous. Incapable? That's laughable. If they would have simply passed it to him when he was open at the 3pt line, they would have won the game. He was 1-2 from there until the end of the game and the desperation heave at the end...but they would rather feed DFS, JB and Boban...how'd that work for us? Not as good as game 2....
They ran a play they haven't run all year in game 3. Cross screen got KP right to the low block and easy entry pass to the wing....turn and quick jump hook for 2... was slick... never ran it again...IDIOTIC.
But they don't even have to do that, because he stood wide open time and time again last night and JB abd DFS would fake the pass and drive or take a contested shot.
They would rather lose I guess than pass him the ball.... its CRC's mad scientist tinkering and we are at 3-3, but the timkering has a shelf life. RC has AWLAYS been a brilliant tactician, but often he overthinks and leans to the too cute side of things, it has shot him in the foot in the past,...
Don't even bring me "bogging down the offense"...open 3s IS the offense....amh.
That is ABSOLUTELY on CRC.
