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

[KillerLeft]

He should not. But I pray every day he does. If he really needs recovery and is mature enough, that he will put the work in than maybe it would be better for him to take it off. On the other hand if he is not, maybe its even worse. Eating gyros and smoking shisas in Greece instead of training with national team. Pissing off your nation and club fans in the process. Depends on the guy and his head.People forget, that he was way worse coming into previous season. It was shorter offseason, but there were no NT competitions. Even Followill mentioned this on Locked on Mavs. Maybe he would be even worse with no Olympics who knows?

This is kind of exactly where I am with all of it, thanks. 

Honestly, I think you guys are making his condition and form at the moment too big of a deal.

Totally agree. Too big of a deal, no doubt, but not a non-issue. 

I have come to believe that he is just cruising. He figured something out. Maybe that regular season means nothing. He has another gear, you can see it when he gets pissed or in stretches, like in the Memphis game. Come playoff time, this debates will be quickly forgotten. Even his threes will start falling. Have nothing to back this up, just my feeling.

I hope you're right (about him dominating in the playoffs), but I have to say that this would cause me tremendous worry of a different sort, if true. I do not like the idea of someone so young entertaining such thoughts or being allowed to get away with this approach, regardless of how great he is. It's one thing for someone like Lebron who could be done at any moment if he doesn't cut some corners here and there, but I hope we get at least a good, solid decade of Luka's very, very best before he starts to think this way.

I think this would be a bigger worry than him simply not having figured out how to off-season like a pro's pro yet, which I agree has been overblown somewhat. He'll figure that out, but if he's already bored with the NBA season??? That would scare the piss out of me as a Mavs fan.
