No one wants to come here. That stinks so much.

I guess even less spots for defense on PHX now is the upside. Would've still taken the same gamble though

Sounds like they made use of the time our staff was occupied with this very game.

Luka looks a bit awkward on offense without his isos and a lot of his usual dribbling. But its his first game back trying to adjust to another superstar. He'll figure it out.

If Kyrie doesn’t resign I can’t blame him. Luka cannot play off the ball and his turnovers have been absurd this game.

Yeah, not a good Luka game. TOs have been really bad. The offense don’t look as good as it could.
Luka should be the most fresh guy in the game and it’s not the case. He has been non-existent in the 4th and OT.

There's no Luka magic in the 4th and OT.

He has to learn to play off the ball. It’s the same problem they had when Brunson was here.

It's game 1 and Luka is young, he'll figure it out.

Yup, that 2nd playmaker is crucial but Luka needs to figure out how to be more useful when he hands the ball over.

Why did Luka take the last shot? Such a stupid play once again. He couldn’t hit anything to end the game.

Luka playing off ball is Brian Cardinal.
He needs to learn how to move around. Kyrie made guys move around his first game with one practice session in. Luka's used to setting the table for the offense by taking his time and looking for mismatches. All that time spent thinking and looking, Kyrie and Josh green would habe already made a shot and sprinted back down court. I thought he knew how to play off ball with Dragic?

This waiting on the perimeter until he gets the ball back is nonsense. This loss is on him. Some of those turnovers were awful.

Reports say Luka pushed for that Kyrie trade, now Kyrie gets all the love and all of Luka's weaknesses are amplified. They have a few more games to figure it out before the playoffs.
