>>1287 Luka did get targeted in the finals, but it doesn’t help that no other mavs players could make shots besides him. Kyrie going MIA was a bigger deal. I think his offensive contributions outweigh his defensive weaknesses, it’s the same with Jokic. They got to the finals with him as a star after all, they never gave up 120 plus points at all during that playoff run. As for the Morey Rockets, they were closer than anyone to defeating the KD warriors, if it wasn’t for CP3ms injury who knows what could’ve happened.

>>1290 Nico doent care for or respect Chokic's asterisk

>>1290 >it’s the same with Jokic. They got to the finals with him as a star after all, they never gave up 120 plus points at all during that playoff run. Yes, but a simple fact is that Jokic is taller and can take up more defensive space by default and so has a wider margin of error, plus the whole team turned up the defensive intensity from the regular season to the playoffs as you mentioned. I don't know if Luka has that extra gear on defense. He can develop it though. If Luka can win as a Laker with his current playstyle it will change how everyone approaches team building, I think. >As for the Morey Rockets, they were closer than anyone to defeating the KD warriors, if it wasn’t for CP3ms injury who knows what could’ve happened. True, though for that season they were ranked 6th defensively and 1st offensively, so it would've fit the standard league pattern more than other Morey teams.

is there no hope for grizzlies

Retards actually thought the Thunder were a first round exit

Is Luka drunk?

>>1351 he's working on a 40

Who would have thought half of Minny roster would be in foul trouble after Lakers lost game 1

>>1355 He can't keep getting away with it

Please be a wolves win, it'll be really funny watching them look for another scapegoat for lefraud

Jokic was in the NBA for 10 years and only survived the playoffs once.

It's not fun watching the Heat get BTFO without weapschizo to laugh at....

Reminder that Jaylen Brown proved in two separate Finals that he is the alpha dog on the Celtics and a better player than Gayson Gaytum, who is NOT HIM.

VanVleet is thicc. Nigga looks like a cacodemon in that red jersey.

PWat will lock down Kawhi for good, hope Adelman adapts well
