GAME 13 DIRKIE: Winner Luka (69%) & Runner-up DFS (29%)

[Kammrath]

Who was the "player of the game" who elevated their game above normal to get the team the win?

Luka had a career night...

Luka had a career night...

On a night where DFS is deserving, Luka cannot be denied.  WOW!  What a game!

[DrMav]

Gotta give it to Luka, career high points and triple double.

DFS was a great contributor and would have had it tonight if Luka wasn’t so special.

Luka with the career night!

Luka!

DFS was great on the offensive side, but common, DeRozan scored 36 on him on 70 % shooting.

DeRozan scored 36 on him on 70 % shooting.

Yeah very mediocre defense.

I wanted to vote so badly for DFS, but I can't take for granted Luka's greatness most especially on career nights like this... vs the Spurs no less (never mind that they aren't the Spurs of yesteryears).

1. Luka for sure. I mean the dude set history with a 40 point triple double. The game icing dagger. And destroyed the Spurs every which way.

2. DFS played his best game ever. If only he could do that every night.

3. Kristaps. He had a really bad shot near the end there. But that shouldn't take away a really balanced performance from KP. He was a monster on defense, bothering Aldridge multiple possessions, and he hit so many timely 3's. Not to mention that incredible tip in late in the 4th after Luka missed the floater.

THJ for sure.

Two man race but, man, with 42/12/11 and that step back dagger, it has to be Luka. Crazy that Luka has to have video game numbers to get the Dirkie!

Luka!

Yup. That alone should deny DFS from the Dirkie. We need him for his lock down defense. Luka easily won this night

The thing about DFS is that he pretty much does play like this every night. It's just that he doesn't always face a scorching hot DeRozen, he doesn't always get this many shots up, and doesn't get this many shots to fall. But he always creates possessions, he always does the dirty work and he always makes plays down the stretch in the 4th quarter.

I have been saying it on other threads - we need DFS to keep the defense honest.  I guess he was listening! He does everything else I would want a defensive role player to do.

Pop is still there and they are still located in San Antonio. It still counts. We need to rub their face in the dirt for about 14 wins in a row like we did to the Lakers recently. I enjoyed every single one of those.
