    Luka gets real turnovers, not those cheap ones like Harden gets

    Refs have called a bunch of bad calls against Dallas. If Dallas had 3 challenges they would have won them all.

    Damn refs screwed mavs pretty hard in the 3rd. They gotta keep their head in the game though.

    Just like when they played both the Lakers and the Rockets, why the hell does Doc (with both Kawhi and PG13 at his disposal) keep putting Bev on the big-name offensive player on the opposing team??? Did it with Bron, and Harden. Only played 11 minutes, has 5 Fouls. I would think Hardaway or FInney-Smith are not as serious as an offensive threat compared to Luka...I just don't get it

    That's the thing. Them LA teams are already good. They don't need the help.

    I won't disagree that Doncic has a higher upside, but for PG this is lower than his peak. He's taking on a role of 2nd or 3rd best player on a championship team because he wants to win a ring.

    Doncic's ceiling looks like a 2nd best player on a championship team to me. That's almost on par.

    The clippers have fewer fans than the rockets.

    So he's like a Klay Thompson or Kyrie Irving or Siakam/Lowry? No way. Doncic is better than all those guys.

    Mavs offense pure trash in the clutch. Hardaway took some terrible shots.

    I guess there's layers inside that 2nd best tier as well. Those other guys you mentioned are valid, so I won't disagree with your point.

    But again, a lot of them are taking back seats to the best player so they don't dominate the ball like Doncic does. A lot of good players there, I feel, are very underrated.

    Not sure why you're pointing out something that obvious.
