You can blame guys for not making shots but Luka didn’t make his players better. That stat line is ass for a supposed hall of fame PG

Yes Luka didn't play well but there is a multivariate aspect to a team sport. He isn't always responsible if others play bad or good for that matter. There is some degree of freedom to the random variation of his teammates performance in any given game. This wasn't meant to be condescending but he literally can't force his guys to make wide open 3's. Let's say Bullock has one of those 2 sigma variation games where he hits all his open 3's and DFS hits 50 percent of his then we are in the game even with a suboptimal Luka performance. What Luka needs to do is stop bailing out the Suns by taking the step back. That is the worst offensive set that we have. That is on him.

DFS took like 6 shots

Bullock took like 5 shots

Yes that happened about 7 times with Luka holding the ball the entire clock and launching the step back. Not his best performance. Not sure why we don't post him up more.
