He most of all looks still injured.
As I said in the MVP thread, expect this season to be Luka's peak form as I expect his injuries problems to get only worse from now for the rest of his career.....unless of course there is a drastic mental swift in his way to take care of his fitness and to consistently do all the extra work to maintain his physical form.

I think THJ is an absolute scrub but props to him for having Kleber's back there. Bush league play from Thompson.

The NBA has gotten so soft with Flagrant 2's. You can get tossed for very little these days. :lol:

A forearm shiver to the throat is "very little"? I'm usually on the same side as you, the NBA has gotten soft, but that was the correct call.

Garland is such a baller. Should Cavs trade Mitchell? Who would they get to replace him though?

It’s 100% at a point where the NBA just needs to eliminate the tech. This **** is stupid and these refs are all stupid pussies.
