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.

I mean, I'm sure Luka didn't handle it perfectly, but the bottom line is that he should have been a spot up shooter, pick and pop, pick and roll guy and he didn't want to do that here.  He didn't want to set picks and instead wanted to ISO.  That wasn't necessary to play with Luka, it was necessary for him to be most effective, a concept that both Rick and Kidd tried to convince him of.  He is doing in Boston what we needed him to do here.  I'm not sure how its Luka's fault that KP didn't want to set picks.
