HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

[ThisIStheYear]

I wouldn't even put Luka and Brunson in the same league with each other, as far as which is the best player. Even playing badly by his own standards, Luka is not stoppable. On a poor night, he still has 20 points and 10 assists. Without taking anything away from Brunson, JB can be played off the floor when the opponent chooses to focus on him.

Missed shots are just another way of turning the ball over.  If you give the ball back to the other team 66% of the time like in the last game because you shoot 33% from the field, you were definitely stopped. Basketball is just a possession by possession game.  The team with the highest conversion percentage wins, almost all the time. Luka’s shooting percentages have been bad this year and he shoots a lot, which is why the team performs so poorly when he’s in the game.  The question is why.  Is it something about Luka or is it the scheme, or maybe, a little of both.
