We have literally only seen them commit to a spread pick and roll approach for like one half of basketball this year (a GLORIOUS half) and they never went to it again.
Maybe it's about KP, but then again...maybe not. If it's not, these next few years are going to be depressing.
I'll offer a hopeful take that may turn out to be completely off...
Is it possible that JKidd is filing "things that work" or even "things that are awesome" away for later use, putting them on ice, in a sense, and then proceeding down the list "things he wants to try" and "things he wants to see"?
Luka is awesome. Check. So let's put a ton of focus on KP to see what we have and possibly get him going.
The Luka/KP PNR is awesome. Check. So let's put that on ice while we look at some other things.
Timmy is great when he can mainly catch and shoot in the spread pnr. Check. Let's see if Timmy can add some things to his game.
One big lineups work well for us. Check. Let's see if we can figure out some two-big lineups in order to preserve KP's health.
Is this overly hopeful? Is it crazy talk to think that maybe there will be a time when Coach starts having the team do the things that he has filed away as "awesome, check, save that for later"?
