Luka returns Game 4. Meanwhile Dallas has figured a way to beat Utah with Brunson and Dinwiddie dominating the ball. Will Luka's return, even if 100%, disrupt this momentum?
Luka is used to carrying the team. Will Brunson and Dinwiddie continue to attack relentlessly? Or will they fall back into a secondary role? There is only ONE ball. It has to be shared efficiently.
Game 4 could be really interesting. I almost feel like Dallas has at least as good of a chance winning game 4 without Luka than they do with him because of the current momentum. Game 5 at home might be a smoother transition for Luka's return.
But it doesn't matter. Luka will play Game 4 and we will find out.
Yeah, lets not be prisoners of the moment. Luka has to come back next game. This is still his team. And they need him.
JB/Spencer have stepped up big time in Luka's absence but we can't keep relying on them.
