      ​@@DaFactsNoNonsense1713So the Celtics were the favorites all year yet ppl were still picking Denver or Minnesota after they swept the suns and went up 2-0 against the nuggets and then ultimately coming back from 20 plus down in game seven to upset the nuggets. Then the Mavs were constantly pushed and picked to win it all once they took down the wolves and supposedly Boston was going to get exposed for their easy path to the finals facing injured teams 🤣🤣🤣 which one is it ppl?

He’s been all NBA five years in a row and has also been one of, if not the worst defensive player in the league. Bring back defense and players like Luka will be seen as just average.

    I get the whole “if he’s out there injuries aren’t an excuse” but it was clear they bothered him at times. Plus, if he did sit out or play less because of them people would call Luka soft.
    Let’s also not act like other players who had been hitting threes previously didn’t go 1-12 from three in game five, 1-13 in game two, and 0-9 in game one. If just a handful of those are made, those games couldn’t been drastically different (yes Luka shot poorly from three too).

He was in this same type of shape against the timberwolves, who had one of the best defenses in the league and he dominated them.
