PLAYOFF WCF GAME 3: GSW (3-0) vs. DAL (0-3) | 100-109 loss

[hakeemfaan]

Scoring 40 points does not equal winning basketball (in fact the Mavs are 2-6 in the playoffs when Luka scores 40+).

In the three games against GSW....

-30 w/ Luka, +5 w/o Luka
-12 w/ Luka, +3 w/o Luka
-19 w/ Luka, +10 w/o Luka

TOTAL: -61 w/ Luka, +18 w/o Luka

Do the teammates bear some responsibility? Of COURSE! But to act like Luka just "needs better teammates" fails to account for his role and play in this three game embarrassment.

You ignored the obvious as usual 

Is he the best PG on the team? Yes
Is he the best scorer? Yes
Is he the best rebounder? Yes
Is he scoring consistently even when other teams are trying their best in the playoffs ? Yes. Note players like Harden and Westbrook have not always done that 

Your penchant with on off numbers to me are irrelevant when one guy is asked to do so much. Plus the on off numbers always seem a bit dubious in a team game where Luka does play a ton of minutes. If you just go by the logic of those numbers then are you saying that if Luka didn’t play a minute in this series the team would be in a better position? C’mon.
