Can Luka Tha Don prevent a Phoenix dawn? | Official Mavs (#4) vs. Suns (#1) West Semifinals Thread

[GoldenGlove]

Kidd going to have to play a zone in the 4th quarter next game to prevent Luka from getting abused like tonight.

Steph doesnt have Chris floor/dribble midrange game. Look at what chris did to luka tonight. And yes you double every steph P&R because your worries about him pulling up after screen and shooting. Hes such a deadly catch and shoot shooter you have no choice

Leave the X's and O's to the nikkas that don't watch games like a female, or that needs everything pointed out to em by the commentators.

Like I said, the Grizz double every screen and roll that would involve Ja as the potential switch on to Steph. So obviously the Grizz coaching staff don't feel the same as you. Steph isn't getting the switch conceded to him like the Mavs conceded the Luka switch on to CP3. That's a combination of A) them knowing Ja would get cooked just like Luka did (regardless of the bullshyt you talking about dribble package and all that goofy shyt) B) They don't respect the shooting of two or more of the shooters GS has out there at any given time
But again, I don't think you watch the game with that type of lense.

Yeah she bad

Them joints healthy

It was CP3, Biyombo, and Bridges defense that shutdown Luka in the third quarter that had the biggest impact in Game 2, imo.

Trade the whole team

100%.

Dirk never got tired like that. Luka loves to ball but when you play as much as he does but still look chubby/baby fat-ish, that means his diet is pure dee trash.

You gotta eat/drink like shyt to play that much basketball and not be either scrawny or lean/cut.

Needs to drop the extra body fat...load a little back on as muscle etc. He looks like he's stuck in molasses especially late game. Love watching him play but it's time for him to grow up. No more bytching to refs and showing up to training camp looking like a Cowboys o-lineman.

Allegedly, there's a steakhouse in DTown that Luka is very fond of.

Yea, he needs a beast trainer and a that Jordan/Kobe/Bron workout drive.
Keep roughly the same weight but turn that fat into muscle because his game is about physicality.

These dudes don't match up at all with the Suns

This is insane

Big problem this year is Booker is a consistent logo range shooting threat.

Can't live with him pulling up from three anymore because he's going to drain it at a high percentage.

My guy CP3 was frying luka with them conceding switches when byombo was on the floor and involved in those picks. The warriors have better shooting than the suns so im not sure of the shyt you trying to say.

As bad as ja is defensively he atleast has the atheltic ability to keep up while luka moves like curly from the 3 stoodges on defense. Its lazy to compare the 2 when 1 clearly makes no effort defensively

If the Warriors have better shooting, you have to explain to me why Steph gets doubled on his high screen and rolls more than CP3 and Luka for that matter.

And yes I agree, Ja does put in more effort than Luka defensively.....so even more reason they should concede the switches on to Steph, seeing that he doesn't have the "floor/midrange dribble game" as Chris. But they don't.

Again, leave the Xs and O's alone. Stick to the hot-takes

The Suns have also improved as a unit. More chemistry and everyone is healthy unlike in the finals last year

Yup they literally got better as individual players and as a team. Not to mention they made some great additions to the front court to cover any weaknesses.
