    Luka just a real lunch pail type of guy. A true coaches son who plays the right way.

    It’s his thickness though why you’d assume he’s slow and he actually is. Kind of like Harden.

    Beverley hurt or just not worthy of playing time?

    Terrence the Mann.

    I am going to guess Bev's inability to score probably.

    Finally they realized he’s just not good enough.

    When kawhi gets locked in to robot mode he’s hard to stop.

    Luka is unbelievable. He’s harden fives years younger than when harden turned into harden.

    Damn, let the home team shoot 60+% in a game 7? That's not going to work for the Mavs, no matter what Luka does.

    somewhat close game, but just feels like the clippers are in control. hard to believe kawhi will let them lose here.

    yeah i mean basically only top 10 all-time guys have done what he's doing this early. and playing in the era of offensive inflation means his numbers are just insane. it feels like he is scared of nothing and tore up the clippers last year and has almost 30 in a first half of a game 7 here. it would be interesting to see him play a non-clippers team in the playoffs since they seem to guard him like they have him on their fantasy team. as good as he is, the clippers seem to just let him get anything he wants. even against the random assortment of scrub teams in the regular season he wasn't playing this well.

    This series has been so weird yet so good!

    Luka 29 point 7 assist on 10-14 fg 4-6 from 3 at halftime?!!? is INSANE!! Doesnt he realize this is game 7?

    Kawhi PG, Mann and the rest of the clippers all showed up and are playing extremely efficiently.

    Luka needs someone else to step up or the Mavs are going home despite his brilliance.

    The NBA will spin the narrative for Luka after a potential loss.

    You need a real 2nd star.

    Luka is euro slower paler version of LeBron.

    They both excelled at a young age and are both large mobile freaks and geniuses at basketball.

    Only difference is 22 year old LeBron had elite out of this word athleticism, while Luka has better shooting. Both have elite scoring, vision, playmaking and basketball iq. Only difference is LeBron was built like an Adonis and Luka is build like a Don.

    Is that spin? Seems like a pretty accurate statement.
