Never ceases to amaze me when Curry pump fakes from 30+ feet and people fly out at him. Also amazes me that he always highlight hunts after he hits a couple shots. What was that lost shot lol?

before this series i said i was intrigued about seeing luka face the warriors defense to know if he was ready to be the best offensive player in the league

after 3 games i feel like he is not there yet, he needs to do some work before i get him in the tier of lebron, jokic or curry (in their primes)

Do you think LeBron still belongs there? I don't think he was more impressive offensively than Luka tbh.

is hard to know without seeing lebron in the playoffs, but i meant curry and lebron in their primes

compared to jokic, curry or lebron at their best luka lacks

a) scoring efficiency, b) seems to get gassed through the games and starts settling for bad 3's, c) provides less without the ball than jokic (spot up shooting, rebounding, screening) or lebron (cutting, full court running, lob threat) let alone curry

his game still has work to be done and i am hopeful he gets it done

Luka should be forced to retire after that flop.

Holy Wiggins. What a poster.

Wiggins turning back the clock to his prime during his high school years.

It's a crime that the Warriors had to burn a challenge on that BS call.

Luka is an awful defender.

Post #5410 » by **PaulieWal** » Mon May 23, 2022 3:24 am

Lol so Wiggins' arm hit Luka in the chest and he goes down holding his face. Pathetic.

Outside of Dallas fans do people actually enjoy watching him play?

Why in Christ's name is Steph guarding Luka with four fouls?

This has been a pretty boring game... Mavs came in with no energy.

GSP · Post #5414 » by **GSP** » Mon May 23, 2022 3:29 am

Lukas defense has made Wiggins look like prime Grant Hill this series

Peregrine01 · Post #5415 » by **Peregrine01** » Mon May 23, 2022 3:31 am

I'm actually shocked that Luka has 39. Felt like he was missing a lot.

falcolombardi · Post #5416 » by **falcolombardi** » Mon May 23, 2022 3:31 am

suns looking awful right about now

yoyoboy · Post #5417 » by **yoyoboy** » Mon May 23, 2022 3:35 am

Man I would love to see Luka get into sick physical shape. Lower the body fat and pack a little more muscle on his frame.

GSP · Post #5418 » by **GSP** » Mon May 23, 2022 3:35 am

Luka putting up garbage time points again like last game when the game was basically over

Ppl are gonna look at his PPG the last 2 games like he dominated but hes gotten a good 12 PPG the last 2 4th quarters with game basically over

Itll def help.............but i think his lack of traditional Nba athleticism (hes athletic in his own way for his game) is always gonna limit what he can do on defense even with more muscle better shape

ehh, it was not really garbage time if there was a realistic chance of a comeback, which there was

that said, i agree his scoring volume overstates his impact at this point in time
