You realise Paolo’s game is based around getting foul calls, right? Is it just the way Luka goes about it that you’re not a fan of?

Competent "bread and butter" PG skills improve the entire teams baseline. Its that simple.

Yes. And when we played him with the Mavs, his whining got on my nerves. He is an absolutely amazing player, I don’t know why he feels he needs to act like that.

I hear ya. I hate how whiny both him and LeBron are for guys who are already better than 99.9% of all players on any given night.

Not until they start winning more consistently and the team starts playing consistently better with him on the floor than not. And not against 15 win tankers.


I really think Paolo will be fine
