Did Luka actually get hurt? Don’t have the game on

I give Luka the edge on offense tbh. Better scorer/shooter, better pick and roll player, just as good of a passer. But you're right in terms of defense at least for a stretch there, it's not close.
I don't know. Give young LeBron this kind of spacing offensively, and he would have been even more outrageous.
What spacing? This year Mavs aren't a well spaced team, they play 1 non-shooter and 2 below average to bad shooters.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

I hope this is a joke. The Timberwolves were a better defense all year and have several high-level perimeter defenders. The Celtics are not gonna be able to show Luka anything different
I hope this is a joke. McDaniels doesn't have the size nor strength to defend Luka as we saw ALL SERIES. Ant was too small for Luka but too big for Kyrie who was too quick for him and left him gassed - as we saw ALL SERIES. Tatum or Brown have the size length and strength to do a better job on Luka one on one. Holiday and White will be better matchups for Kyrie. Celtics will have a problem with the quicker taller front court of Dallas vs. Theirs.
Yeah the Celtics perimeter defenders are just on a different level, although I'm not sure either one of Tatum or Brown can do much to stop Luka. White and Holiday will be tough for Kyrie, and don't be surprised if Holiday draws the Luka assignment at times. The only thing is I don't think the Celtics have anyone to deal with the rim running threats of Gafford and Lively.
Yeah. Agree on both counts. I think they'll try everyone on Luka including Holiday who's a very versatile defender. The worst decision Philly's process Hinkie made trading him for peanuts. Imagine him still there in that backcourt LOL.

Are we being serious?
He's not dirty but he's a reckless buffoon with absolutely no regard for his surroundings, which isn't exactly much better.

I’ve heard that also. Obviously as basketball junkies - it’s nowhere near an nba game but it’s fun. It’s better than football live. I think a lot of it depends on atmosphere. I’ve been to coyotes games and they weren’t great bc it’s half empty
Bro you never tasted real sport atmosphere in your life![]()
Go to champions league game or at least World Cup
I’d love to go to WC. Maybe in LA in 4 years?

If Lively hadn't been injured in game 3, it would have been a sweep.

Go to a futbol match in central or south america. I will never again. The family I was with wouldn't let women or children go. We had dinner on the way to the stadium and then the rest of the family peeled off and I was like "they aren't joining us?". "lol no". In retrospect I wouldn't have let me go.

Didn’t say I was rooting for him to get hurt, saw people say he got injured.
