He illustrates some of the ATO and quarter-starting plays they use for the benefit of KP.Well, maybe I really thought Cuban wants to build around KP, and maybe I didn't. Given Cuban's apparent desire to be seen as the guy with the secret insight that no one else has, I actually don't think it's completely out of the question.
All this, while insisting on organizing a KP-centric offense that Luka doesn't want to run.
Coinkydink? I think not.
I assume this is tongue in cheek? Cuban really isn't this stupid.
I think the gigantic effort to organize around KP, even to the extent of running systems that limit Luka's effectiveness, is curious, to say the least. Regardless of what Cuban really thinks now, I can almost guarantee that, if Luka decides he has had enough of this foolishness and bails, the "I knew it all along" take will be the line. Cubes always understood that KP was the real drink-stirrer, and last night's game might be paraded as evidence of Mark's genius. Out of 100 possible outcomes, I think it's among the scenarios.
