GAME 42 DIRKIE: Winner Luka (70%) | Runner-up JB (15%)

[Kammrath]

Who was the player of the game who elevated his game to help the team get the win?

[MrGoat]

No one else really did anything nuts so Luka gets it with the triple double

[Mavs2021]

Who was the player of the game who elevated his game to help the team get the win?

Either the white elbow sleeve or Trey Burke for shooting the ball, instead of taking one of these new dumb end of game 24 second shot clock violations.

[Jym]

Going to win a lot of games if we can get more of that second half Luka

[Kammrath]

"No-threes" Luka for me!

Runner-ups for me were RB and "five-steals" JB!

[Tyler]

Luka took over offensively, but the defense was freaking stifling holding Memphis to just 30 in the second half. Who should I credit that to? Bullock? DFS? Sweeney? Whoever it is deserves the Dirkie.

[Jommybone]

Second-half Luka was something else. But 6 TOs. Ouch.

Give me Jalen with his 9:1 assist to turnover ratio and a Trix-like stat line—15, 5, 9, 5.

Luka Triple Doncic

I misread RB's box and thought he had 10 boards. 9 is great. +31? Holy crap. He still isn't DFS. 

It's gotta be Luka. The second half might have been his best this year.

[KillerLeft]

You could give the dirkie to DFS every night, obviously. 

I’ll choose to reward Luka for upping his game in the second half.

[hakeemfaan]

Luka. 

Defense and some others did well but Luka showed up tonight amidst all the Ja love and reminded everyone that he is still a stud.

Oh man...I love these games where there are several deserving players.  The starters once again played good.  Luka with a triple double.  JB is the little engine who could...and does.  Marquese Chriss with 15 points in 16 minutes, and pretty good play otherwise.  I think we need to make room for MC.  I would give my Dirkie to MC.  I would.  But that second half of play and the triple double from Luka--he's my man!  My Dirkie to Luka!

[Tyler]

I ended up giving the Dirkie to Bullock for his symbolic +31. I mean seriously, the defense was the difference tonight. But here's a video of Luka as a tribute to his truly impressive game.

Has to be Luka, not in his best shape but easily still a much better player than flavor of the month Morant

[cow]

While Dorian's sidekicks were pretty great, God King has to get the vote.

[burekemde]

It has to be Luka, several levels ahead of any other player on the court, including Morant.

[Chicagojk]

Luka.  That was best player in the league stuff in the second half.

vs Knicks: Powell + Chriss = 24 min 4/4 from the field for 10 points 

vs Griz: Powell + Chriss = 48 min 12/13 from the field for 28 points
