He basically owns this franchise. Porzingis might sense some hostility, because sub-consciously he now realizes, what hasn´t been so obvious 18 months ago. That Luka is a generational talent of LeBron/Michael proportions and that he is not even Pippen/Wade. Would be nice though, if Porzingis was Kukoc or Bosh.
Exactly. There is no one else to be blamed for KP "problems" than KP himself. And I am saying he is playing great lately, even if not scoring. And what is more important - Mavs are playing a beautiful and efficient basketball. Nothing else is important... If KP is more worried about his stats than team success than Mavs have a problem. And Luka is not it.
I don't see Luka stat hunting. He is very efficient with his shots and he can actually create for himself. I don't think anyone would say anything (Luka included), if KP would be creating his own efficient shots. But he is not. He is assisted on like 90 % of his shots (I saw the exact number a couple of days ago but I am to lazy to look it up). I said it before - KP brings a lot of good to the team when he is engaded. Individual numbers are irrelevant.
I mean, we have somehow come to a twist where Luka shooting 19 shots with 8-9 from three is supposed to be a problem... Because KP shot just 7. Are people serious here?
