So much is made of KP being injured/Hurt or inconsistent

He hasn't been great but I don't think he's been as bad as some people make him out to be.

The dude will score tons of points in the 1st half only to go long stretches of games usually in the 4th QTR without getting touches.

Everyone loves Luka and rightfully so but I feel like he doesn't run enough plays to get KP shots in the 4th qtr. Instead we get to see THJ or Richardson do their thing more than KP.

ON a few occasions tonight it looked like KP was wide open clapping for the ball and the pass never came. He put his head down a few times....

I also noticed that KP is very unselfish he will swing the ball more often than not and I don't see that same unselfishness with his teammates towards him.

Coaching should step in and recognize this by now because it happens often.

Found this over at Mavsmoneyball questioning why he didn't get any shots

Porzingis attempted as many shots in the fourth quarter as I did, though the blame can’t be placed entirely on him. When Doncic did hit him on a cut through traffic, he brought the ball down and had it slapped out of his hands. Other than that instance, Porzingis didn’t get a look served up for him.

Is this an indictment of Porzingis? I’m not sure I’ll go that far. The whole team lacked any type of fire, but overall it was a disheartening performance from the team with Porzingis back in the fold.
