HAWKS 113, MAVS 87

[KillerLeft]

I am in shock that there is almost no conversation about how poor Luka looked. 

Am I crazy? Did I not see reality last night? I'm confused.

I didn't see much opportunity for him to shine, other than simple "beat his man" and hit pull up shots, 1-on-1. The paint was PACKED with Hawks all night because Dallas' offensive spacing was pretty rough, imo. Looked like the 2011 offense, not the 2021 offense. 

Not saying it was a particularly good game from him and that there was no way he could've overcome the situation, don't get me wrong. We've seen him overcome situations wherein the defense shuts down the team's plans before, and I agree that he didn't do that last night. 

I thought Luka played really hard on defense in the first half - liked seeing that.
