These were 4 possessions I believe late in the 4th in a close game and none of them resulted in a shot for the guy that is our second best player and who is wide open. On what planet is that smart basketball?
At the half last night, KP (3-10) was shooting a better percentage than Luka (3-11)...and yet, we didn't move away from Luka...he just kept taking shots.
For the year.
Kristapps Porzingis -- 35.9% from 3 at 6 attempts per game
Luka Doncic -- 35.9% from 3 at 8 attempts per game

So should Luka stop taking threes if KP is supposed to? He is literally shooting the same percentage from 3. Last night, when they stopped giving him the ball, he was shooting better than Luka, but Luka gets to shoot his way out of that... so your "make your shots" is a mic drop that fell down a hole and hasn't hit yet.
This game is literally the absolute worst game to pull out the "make your shots" take. KP was literally having one of his worst games of the season and he was still shooting better halfway through the game than Luka, and Luka just gets to shoot his way out of it and ignore KP.
And, also, most of Luka's threes seem to be much more difficult shots and under more duress, compared to KP's threes.
