I don't think it's the strategy, personally, I think it was the choice to completely take the offense for granted in what was an extremely short and rushed pre-season relative to normal years in an effort to completely change the defensive culture overnight.
To my eye, the result has been that players are simply not in sync on the offensive end. Like, at all. People cutting at the wrong times, rotating at the wrong times or to the wrong place, then the passing angles are weird, the passes aren't as crisp, shots aren't in rhythm, etc, etc, etc.
I'm not sure KP is being used any different this year than last when he and Luka are on the floor together. I'm not sure why they don't run a hell of a lot more pick and roll together. I'd also like to see KP rotating to the corners more for his 3PAs.
Another eye test thing for me is that teams have gotten better at predicting and game planning for Luka's cross court corner passes. Seems those are getting tipped or picked off much more frequently this year.
