I hope these two meet in the POs. Would be a fantastic series. The scoring of the two duos is on another level.

Luka took exception to someone else complaining. Goodness he can be insufferable.

Somebody’s lying here. Luka saying Booker talked smack to him while Booker saying he was talking to the ref.

On TV, it looked like Booker was talking to the ref.

May be Luka thought Booker was making fun of him by mimicking his constant crying to the ref.

That exact attitude is what cost Luka the bronze medal in the Olympics and got him benched because his team was playing better without him getting all hot headed.

Another rivalry KD went and ruined. Mavs probably get overpowered.

Before KD “ruined it”, Kyrie was traded to the Mavs so it would’ve been “overpowered” in the other direction regardless of if KD trade didn’t happen.

If Kyrie never gets traded out, KD would’ve stayed in Brooklyn too.

Perhaps Booker was but it was muffled by all the crying Luka does to the refs.

Side bar: I don't hate Luka and I understand he's not the only player who complains. He just does it a lot. If he was on my team, I'd defend him to no end. To Luka's credit, he usually won't wait to talk as I understand it. I don't think Booker waited until the end 'because he's scared', but maybe it was just in the moment. It looked like he was yelling to the ref about blowing a pushoff on Luka. I don't know if he then said something to Luka or if Luka took it personally since it was clear Booker wanted to make sure he heard it.

This is the last time these teams play during the regular season. Will be very heated, and a very long series should they meet in the playoffs.

Suns suck and aren't a superteam until KD is traded to Phoenix, sapping the Suns of important depth. Now they are ruining the league... :nonono:

A 6th seed added Kyrie and you're talking about the rivalry becoming lopsided. Many people don't even think they are contenders after the trade and you think it compares to an already contender adding KD.

This is such a non-story.

People complain all the time that there isn’t enough competitiveness and when there is, some people complain that X player is soft or crying…

Durant is better than Kyrie and the Suns had less holes pre-trade.

Yes the 6th seed adding Kyrie Irving makes them better than the 5th seed pre-KD Suns. How is that hard to understand?

The part where it's a blatant lie.

Mavs defense is horrible. Kidd should be gone. Refuses to play McGee at all although he is their only shotblocking threat.

Booker was talking to the refs after that missed bunny. Is luka only allowed to talk to the refs?
