Look, since the 6 game losing streak in the middle of the Covid incident and when KP was just back, the team has gone 14-6 including wins against BOS, LAC, POR, DEN, MEM and SAS, so it hasn't been against bottom feeders (like the current ATL streak). Could have been 15-5 but for the MBT brain fart at OKC. So whatever KP's problem is, you can't argue with success.
IMO, he's in need of a reality check. He hasn't proven he can carry the team on a nightly basis, even back in his NYK time, so his light doesn't shine anywhere as brightly as Luka's. KP was brought in a the 2nd star to Luka, but right now he's just a pretty good role player who needs to get past his injury history and develop his game to reach the potential everyone thinks he has. I'm willing to try and grow with KP, but it would be nice to see if he can add something to improve his impact through the summer.
With the easing of the schedule, I expect DAL to get above the play-in scrum and maybe get into the second round. If they have that success it will make for some hard personnel decisions by the MBT this summer.
