Thank God Kidd didn't stay with going small the rest of the game.

Looked like a Luka flop, but Dort raising his knee and getting contact on Luka makes it a legit foul.

I swear these supposed great defenders like Dort only get that reputation because they're allowed to be more physical. If they were officiated like everyone else they'd foul out quick or be forced to be much less aggressive thus negating their effectiveness.

That should have been an illegal screen on DJJ. He backed that ass right into Dort to make him foul Luka

Luka is the weirdest mix of the prettiest and ugliest game ever.
