Will need to review how KP was used
i did see one nice little pick and roll with THJ where KP did a short roll and had a FT line jumper
Another pick and roll with Luka ending in a KP dunk
defense at one point had 3 straight possessions with deflections
they seemed to be scrambling well and switching/helping well. Luka is terrible chasing guys on the perimeter - he just gets lazy and doesn't really try hard a lot of the time. But when switching onto a big down low he's at least a big body who won't get plowed over by most guys.
saw some stretches with KP and WCS out there together... interesting.
for the powell haters, his minutes were down to 16 tonight - not sure why - was he hurt? - his stat line looks good for those 16 minutes.

Ya you probably needed to watch more of the game - Luka was all over the passing lanes and had 3 consecutive steals in the 2nd half. Kidd didn't need to play the starters that long but I think he wanted them to keep working hard and play most of the game. He could have taken the guys out when they had a 20 point lead with 4 minutes left. Bottom line: The duo of Luka and KP were very good tonight. IF you get 60 plus points and 20 plus rebounds from the 2 of them combined you wont lose a lot of games. KP's shot chart looked like a Kirk Goldsberry special - a bunch of shots under the basket and a bunch of 3's. Not a lot of stupid midrange elbow shots.
