Nobody besides Luka and Brunson showed up on offense tonight, no shot was falling and we panicked through that big run by Phoenix. This happens when you are not experienced in those kind of situations. We played a decent first half overall and kept it close, although shots were not falling and fell apart in the third during that run.
It happens. I still believe we can bounce back but we just can't have multiple no-shows like from Spencer, Powell, Reggie.
I don't get the Luka-hate - it has nothing to do with his conditioning that he had 3 asstists because nobody could hit a shot all night. Luka played the same way he has played for 8 playoff games now...
I agree that our offense was too stagnant and that is also on Luka but that is about as much of blame he will get from me.
Chriss is barely an NBA player, let alone a playoff player, but Powell really has been bad the entire playoffs. I wonder if he might be hurt?
Luka made some perplexing offensive decisions. Not sure how much was game plan vs just being tired. When getting switched onto centers he kept taking step back 3s (playing right into Suns hands) and I don't know the point of posting up at the 3 point line.
Dinwiddie was terrible. He has to attack the basket. That's what he does. Dribbling around for 20 seconds and then taking a contested 3 is what he is objectively bad at.
Just an all around terrible offensive game. The whole team looks worn down. Kidd should have probably pulled the starters sooner. I still think we have a good chance to get it to 7, but if so I hope we give a better effort than this.
