+/- is deceptive in this series. The -30 in game 1 is Kidd's fault for leaving Luka in the game for way too long so Luka smartly took most of the 2nd half off to save energy for game 2. GS also brings in the clown car when Luka is out
What's even more annoying is KP finished the season with Washington healthy. We certainly could have used his rim protection. Our defense fell off a cliff after his last game. Our defense isn't as good as we think it is because we traded one of our only rim protectors for 2 defensive liabilities.
What's happening here is what I thought would happen against Phoenix. I just didn't see CP3 suddenly aging 15 years after a birthday coming. The 2-1 without him isn't even all that impressive because it was just a team getting hot from 3 against a Utah team with no perimeter defense. Luka needs more help.
Obviously we need to upgrade the center position in the offseason
