If it makes you happy I can start every single post with a "Luka is far from the biggest problem and without a doubt this team best player" intro.
We already talked about Luka´s shape prior to his injury and I am tired of this straw man. Where are the two pounds coming from? I cannot find them in any report or interview. Last thing that was mentioned was him losing 15 pounds since the start of the season (according to McMahon). Being back in the 240 range.
Whatever it was, it was obviously a very small issue and nothing serious as it was made out to be, that Luka dealt with ease and fixed in no time - way before playoffs. So whoever made a big mess and news about it on this forum and in the media that Luka was fat, it looks like completely overblown. We can look at it from this direction as well.
It's great to see that Luka plays excellent defense, he has been misinterpreted wrongly there as well. He is in top shape and performs some of his best games in career after his ankle injury was over. Im really excited for this years playoffs. Im excited by the fit between Luka and Brunson. It is not coincidental also that Brunson is lifting Lukas game and the other way around and the team is winning.
