Respect to Kyrie…he’s been really selfless this series (maybe this season, haven’t watched DAL enough to say) but I have to give him his props for not forcing anything and consciously looking to keep the other guys engaged.

Russ and Plumlee on the floor has to be the worst 2man lineup for Clips. That is a horrendous pairing skillset wise......and theyre not even grabbing boards either. Mavs packing the paint easily

Seen it many times this season, he goes off in the 4th after not doing much before that. 4th quarter Ky.

You don’t know us in DFW my guy. Go back and rewatch 2nd quarter of game 4, the crowd was going ape **** while down 20.

I do not know you in DFW. Not going to rewatch. Will take your word for it.

An amazing part of the playoffs is seeing people/ places you don’t pay too much attention to during the season.

Now explain how doncic’s is so amazing while lugging around a dad bod? Does he have terrible metabolism? Eat mcds 24/7?

There are different types of athleticism. Luka isn’t fast or quick. But pound for pound he is easily one of the strongest players in the NBA, his body control, and deceleration are absolutely elite. Everyone bitches about Luka complaining about fouls, and he does take it to far, but he is fouled A LOT, and can feel it but because he’s so strong he’s fight through it so refs don’t call it.

Not exactly the same thing but I think Luka has better court vision.

Yeah, i think Harden's a bit more robotic and i guess "scripted" with his reads, he's maybe the best lob passer ive ever seen though lol

Lue really wants that Lakers job. Why would he otherwise play Westbrook again...

Who is better in your opinion - prime harden or current Luka?

JustBuzzin · Post #4435 » by **JustBuzzin** » Sat May 4, 2024 2:28 am

Luka is so childish. Dude on the bench screaming for a review on a common foul smh

Totally agree-

He has to know that what Luka is doing right now isn’t championship ball but if it’s working he doesn’t interrupt… if they need him he takes over.

Definitely playing the yoda role

Next series I expect a more balanced attack from dalla when they face a real team

That is a really tough question.

Coin flip it's literally that close for me.

Damn, that was a scary fall from Maxi "Zion Stopper" Kleber
