Shaq is so damn terrible as a analyst...this goofball really said you can’t get tired shooting jumpshots
he might be slow but his footwork is better than most

I guess that 2019 series against the Bucks doesn’t ring a bell to him
Why didn't conley foul jones?
Mind u breh been in the league 17 seasons and should be seen as an extension of the head coach on the floor. The awful play doesn't align with the stable, vet narrative the NBA loves to project. Only one game tho.
That wouldn't work. Luka way too strong for Ant. I was surprised he didn't make the "too small" taunt when he had the and-1 earlier in the game.
SGA is the same way: master of angles/momentum/timing + deceptively strong to get you off balance.
If you load up on him from 23 feet out like the Mavs did last series (and vs Ant tonight), SGA gave them 32/8/7 on 50/55/83 shooting, carving his way to the middle. Big thing is SGA and Luka both have an incredible mid range shot.
More middys may have to be an adjustment from Ant when probing, or to simply get the ball in a different spot of attack. Ppl need to remember that Jordan didn't start every possession 23 feet out at the top of the key vs a loaded defense. He got it in the post and on the move with the triangle O.

Shyt.....I'm bout to argue Luka is in that class too, and with an unorthodox-style.
I heard Skip argue earlier today, Luka gets into the middle of the lane (wit his herky-jerky offense) whenever he wants, and I didn't believe it, til I really sat there and watched him tonight (specifically in the 1st-half). He was having his way, gettin to the middle of the lane, and getting his shot, or a pass off, whenever he wanted to. If he's able to do that at his slow ass pace, I don't see why an Ant struggles to do so.
He's got that old man game. Great footwork and strength. He creates space for himself for a clean jumpshots every time.

Skip coming for the jugular
He's tired of those MJ comparisons
Lmao
I told people in the PHX/MIN series thread to enjoy the unified euphoria for the kid while it lasts, because they gon turn on him soon enough
Granted he does need to play better, after is last two shooting performances.

He's right to a degree. When folks "settle" for jumpers it's usually because of fatigue and/or lack of ability to get to the rim. Going downhill takes a lot of work throughout the course of a game.

McDaniels is just too light in the ass for Luka. His length and athleticism are negated because Luka is using strength and angles to have his way.
Hopefully everybody can appreciate Lu Dort if you don't already. Luka had games in the OKC series where put up numbers...but there were also times where Dort had Luka in a straight jacket and frustrated to the point of getting emotional.
