Just like 3rd Q of game 5 at Phoenix. Just like Dirk at Golden State in 07. We’re about to see how much smarter Jason Kidd is than Avery Johnson.

Its because when the team doesnt convert the open 3s, Luka starts then attacking the paint even with a double team later in the games where we are behind, and thats a disaster, this is where you will get fumbles and picks. Which is what happened. Instead of passing in end of the game out of double team, he kept trying runningi into the clogged lanes which were simply not there. Game was anyway over by that point, and you cant blame Luka for entering the double team territory and not passing it out every time like early in the game. Some of this is frustration perhaps. Some of it is still learning and adapting, and he will adjust to this.

In the next game the open 3s from first quarter might make a very different game. No need to panic. We took the best shots. This means we will win more games then they do over a long series. I can tell you, there is no way they can play entire series with that extra guy in paint shadowing Luka. Once our team makes those shots and GSW is behind by 10+ points, this series is shifting.
