Stan is a Luka stan...
Jokic is the best center, but I think the best offensive player now that I've ever seen is Luka, and I have seen Jordan...
but Luka not making Kenny Smith's first team all nba

Kyrie's 2nd 50/40/90 season.
25/5/5 and Current .497/.411/.905 will be rounded to .50/.41/.91
Four previous players in the 180 club have benefited from this rule, including Bird 1986 with .496/.423/.896 but changed to .50/.42/.90.
In the 180 club, three players have had two 25+ seasons - Bird/KD/Kyrie

Uh since when was it ever done like that?
Nash famously missed out on it in 2007 because of one free throw. It is an arbitrary cutoff, but you do not round up to meet them.

Don't care about arbitrary cutoffs. But heading into the playoffs love knowing Dallas can put the ball in Kyrie's hands to close out games they have a lead because of his elite FT shooting. Dallas was always a great closing team in the Dirk era because of great FT shooting. It's a weakness still for Luka, but Kyrie can mitigate much of that. And Dallas I think is the best clutch time team in the league this year.

This series should be about Kyrie and Luka defense. Both of them have way more than held their own and neither of them just taking cheap matchups either.
Oh and Kyrie's finishing is just okay bruh. All the baggage this guy comes with can make us forget just what a stupid offensive talent he is.

Their defense has been impressive, though the biggest difference for me isn't Luka/Kyrie outplaying Harden/PG13 defensively, it's their offensive value [Luka at 30/9/9 and Kyrie at 26/6/5 on 50/40/90 efficiency].
Kleber/Washington/Jones/Lively/Gafford outplaying Zubac/Westbrook/Powell/Mann/Coffee certainly helps too.
A actually thought a big determining factor of this series was going to be Zubac/Plumlee vs Lively/Gafford, but they have been relatively similar without a major difference between the two.

They don't have to outplay Harden/PG defensively. They just can't be liabilities and they really haven't. And those guys have spent as much time on Harden as anyone.
Zubac/Powell are providing some scoring for the Clippers but Zubac has problems defensively in the series. Other role players aren't doing much. For Dallas, Washington and Jones are defending like crazy, but the other perimeter options have been meh or worse. Exum can't play, I don't think Dallas minds THJ being unavailable and Josh Green is well Josh Green.
If they can get by, they are going to have to get more out of more guys. OKC has more guys who contribute and they should play faster making it harder for Luka to play the whole game.
