beekay414 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Same thing as usual. Roster flexibility and bucket getters. Just don't see how I lose. Best blend of scoring and defense in this draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Since nobody else is talking, I voted for indifference. That team has elite defense and the scoring to match. Both teams are built well and it’s why they are here but I think other than Luka, it’s going to be hard for BK’s team to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as we just saw with Steph Curry in the most recent finals, these games often come down to an elite player imposing his will if he has a strong enough team around him. Kawhi has proven that he can be that sort of dominating bucket-getter in the big moments in the Semis and Finals. Luka hasn't yet. So I'm very torn here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka has outplayed Kawhi both postseasons they faced each other though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth noting that the last time they played, Kawhi had 32 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block per game on .612/.425/.898. Those are insane numbers. You're also not factoring in Kawhi's elite defensive ability versus Luka's poor defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't Luka. Luka also posted 36-8-10 on 49-41-53 without THJ as his #2, not Paul George. Edited June 19, 2022 by Bullet Club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you next going to tell me that Luka outplayed Steph in GSW-DAL series this year? Say whatever you will, Kawhi has proven that he can deliver in the big postseason moments. He has proven he can take his game to another level. That's often what makes or breaks a championship squad, especially when there's relative parity between the teams. Luka hasn't proven those things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka hasn't proven those things. Kawhi's team almost went to finals without him. Ignoring the talent difference between the teams is laughable. Disagree all you want, doesn't change that Kawhi's rep vastly exceeds his defensive ability at this stage, and the numbers support that. Not to say Kawhi wasn't also great but it was blatantly obvious Luka was the best player in both series. The fact that both series went 7 with the massive talent gap is just icing on that cake. Luka won a Euroleague title and FMVP at 18, hit a buzzer beater in his first series, dropped 46 in game 7 against Kawhi, and scored as many points in a game 7 half as a 64 win team by himself. He's always shown up in big moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
