    Luke is harder to stop than Dame.

    When Clips trapped Luka in 4th, Luka couldn’t score. Dame is better offensive player than Luka.

    NO, shut down Dame and let CJ just do one on one will not beat the Clippers. Luka gets his teammates to score easily.

    Doesn't matter. Clippers will be out of playoffs soon.

    My heart says Celtics in 6 but my head says Celtics in 4. Defense matters.

    I’d be interested in seeing the Mavs record when Luka isn’t scoring. I’d imagine he doesn’t control the game as well as you believe.

    And the difference between Luka and Dame is that Dame gets trapped at half court and forced to give the ball up because he can shoot from there. Teams are much more desperate to get the ball out of his hands early in the clock vs. Luka.

    How many T's does Luka have? Does the total carry over to the playoffs? If so how long do you think it will be before the Clippers try to bait him into a Tech?

    It's a little bit harder to trap a dude who's 6'7.

    Yeah. Celtics destroying Nets. How can you have Kyrie, KD, and Harden and only score 16 points in the first quarter? What a fail.

    I'm rooting for them to lose in the 1st round. The backlash will be GLORIOUS.

    Nets big 3 shooting a combined 11/32 in the first half. Hot garbage.

    Nets won’t get out of the 1st round. All 3 of their big 3 trio thrive when they have the rock on ISO and everybody gets outta their way. It’s not gonna work

    Sometimes it’s all you have to see. I’ve watched them a few times this year. Probably would’ve been a 6 seed in the West
