Game 30 Dirkie Thread: Luka!
#13
Others have already pointed this out, but it's the thing that seems most notable to me, so I'll repeat it.

It appears that Luka has taken several leaps forward in maturity!

I know it takes time for players to experience what the league can throw at you, and then adjust. So, I'm not complaining that a 20, 21, 22, 23-year-old would need time to grow. But I've probably had some unreasonable expectations of Luka at times in past seasons (if that's possible). But now Luka is suddenly blowing past my expectations, and it's mainly because...

He seems to have figured out some very difficult things. He plays like he has solved the NBA Rubik's cube and is no longer able to be rattled. It looks like he's taken some very mature steps towards taking care of himself. The evidence says that he has worked really hard on improving his defense and on leading his teammates.

I thought his chess match with Lebron was his best game. This one may have been even better.
Not very astute ^^^^
