Just conjecture but Carlisle's post-game pandering of KP's "floor game" seemed really disingenuous to me. I watched KP closely all night. I don't think he played all that well. Maybe his ability to shoot changed the game in ways I didn't notice. I don't know.

I just don't like seeing him jack up threes all night. 15 shots, 10 threes, many early in the shot clock. 

KP isn't a strong roll-man. That's a skill. It's all about how to screen and angles. WCS isn't very good either. Explains why Powell enters the game and immediately gets lobs.

For the most part, Kleber handled the toughest defensive assignment. KP just didn't seem to make much of a defensive impact.

I think a strong "floor game" requires defensive impact, deflections, screens, ball movement, timely & efficient scoring.
