He is playing in Boston like he played his first year here, and if he stuck to that instead of looking for his, he would probably still be on the team.
I also think he has some defensive limitations that Boston's roster is more setup to hide. I still think he may get exposed in the playoffs (assuming he is healthy at the time).
Just because KP accepted responsibility doesn't mean it was all his fault. When things don't work out, there are often several people who deserve some blame. Maybe Luka just isn't mature enough to declare some personal responsibility for the failure.
