When he's on the bench, there's no game, just solo actions, without some real perspective.

I felt last night once they got the momentum RC should have went back to Luka quicker instead of riding the same exact rotation pattern.
In fact they even mentioned it doing the post game afterwards.
Sometimes and not saying all the time they should go outside of their normal pattern the minute things start to go south and get him back in the game. I'm not saying he needs to be young LeBron and play iron man minutes but sometimes when the game is in the balance and you know you can't sustain a lead in the 4th qtr too long without him give him a quick breather and back out there again.
That 5-6 stretch to start the 4th qtr with no PG on the floor was brutal
I don't consider Burke or Brunson natural PG's they are better players off the ball IMO.
To make matters worse it seems like KP won't get any post touches unless he's on the floor with Luka because none of other guards really look to get him involved or run any plays for him.
It's just jack up shot's and everyone looks to get their own.
That is one thing I fault RC for because the offense should be more structured when Luka sits and RC should demand more set plays for KP instead of letting THJ, Brunson or Burke take turns shooting.
