Luka is hitting his 3's tonight.

[KillerLeft]

I have a feeling the point of this time out is for Casey to change the game plan. I bet we start seeing Luka’s defender going under those screens.

They have literally been daring him to take them, so I should hope he’s hitting some of them.

Right around Bullock.

Yep! Grant went over the screen that time!

DFS!

THE BULL for 3!

This game seems a lot closer than it actually is.

Agreed. I think it’s because it’s moving at a faster pace than we are used to seeing.

That's a good point. Mavs might not feel comfortable playing so fast hence the simple mistakes we're seeing.

And right on cue.

Luka taking a hard fall like that makes me shudder.

Luka taking a hard fall like that makes me shudder.

Especially since it was a clear flop. Pretty risky, imo.

I wonder if the Lakers stay in play in territory.  Do they lose to the newly revamped Pels and Kings?

This defensive set-up has only one major flaw: defensive rebounding. You get a C that can clean the glass you have a very good defense.

If Luka is hitting those then good luck rest of the league.,

Only works if the center can also move like Powell or Kleber. Otherwise you are just exchanging strengths/weaknesses.

[SleepingHero]

Wait holy crap Luka has almost 30 points with 18 mins left. Dude is scoring at will.

AND THEN THE LOB TO GOD KING!

Stewart has so much potential. Just needs more experience. For a guy with his size/weight he can really move his feet. He is actually doing a good job staying in front of Luka. Just falls for the 2nd or 3rd fake.

[SleepingHero]

Felt like Maxi has been largely non-existent all game. Glad he made one after his cold spell .

Dude plays with energy and has a motor that's for sure.

I know. I´ll be willing to sacrifice 5% of mobility for plus 15% rebounding or if that moron Cuban had listened, we´d have substituted it with plus 25% mobility  and plus 50% rebounding, but hey who needs Jarrett Allen.

You notice how Luka´s 10+ assists games keep piling up, when his main options aren´t shooting sub 30% from three on a high volume.

I see myself out now.

Does anyone know why KP does not wear knee pads since he is always getting knee bruises?

It seems he is getting this injury too often but won't wear protective padding to protect himself.
