I used to make Harden and Luka comparisons, but those should stop. The similarities are that they run heliocentric offenses, don't always play D, and have a nice step back. That's about it. Harden racked up assists moreso because he could make the defense collapse and he'd get an oop or a kickout 3. With Luka, he's doing as much work as Harden but the ball moves so much better, and Luka does work off ball. Luka probably has a top 5 post game, with the way the game is officiated, and his passing is probably his best skill overall. Most importantly, Luka is at his best in big moments.

I’m going with GS in six.

Mavs in 7

Golden State. Luka is good, I don't think he can get past GS by himself.

Draymond is really the only guy that can guard Luka and I think that will be a battle for the ages.

Luka is a future GOAT

I'm for the Mavs and Luka, but if I was betting on it, GS in 7

GS can't afford to have Dray in foul trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up not guarding Luka most times, or if he is, not being quite the pest he is used to being. I think they'll let Luka try to beat them and see if they can just keep everyone else shut down.

Love the splash bros. and will always root for them, but I think Mavs in 7.

They also can't afford to put somebody else on Powell/Kleber, so you are right. He probably doesn't guard him much.

Wiggins did an excellent job on Luka last night.
Wiggins, Warriors limit Luka for Game 1 win

I guess. He was 5/11 vs Wiggins and 1/7 otherwise.

Rumor has it Luka is sick AF

I saw some stuff about him being sick later in the night after game 1. Is he still sick?

Luka damn sure isn't playing like he's sick, tonight

 

[SamRebel35]

Insane first half for Luka and Brunson. Insane 2nd half for Looney, Curry, and Poole. Great comeback. I went from think Dallas in 7 to thinking Dallas will be lucky to make it to game 7.

Wiggins with the most epic poster on Doncic! Unreal!
