This comes with the territory of being a generational talent. He doesn't get to pick and choose when he's blamed. It's on him all the time to get his team to win. He's already taking blame and saying he isn't helping Kyrie enough. It's only some fans trying to defend him. He isn't playing up to his standards and that's the difference in the series. If Luka is the best player the rest of this series, we 100% win. If he's not the best player, it's anyone's game. I'm with you on Kidd being a big culprit, but Luka can win this series on his own regardless of Kidd.
I totally agree the loss (if it happens) in this series will be on him. I just think a lot of criticism is not fair. It is not like he is not trying. His shot has not been falling so far, that is the only thing. Otherwise he is playing well on both ends, imho. Him stopping shooting would imho not produce a better result. That is why I am rooting for him hoping every game he comes out of his slump and a playoff Luka we all know from the past shows up.
