Finally broke the 20 point barrier for the first time in his career. 21 points, nine assists, 9-9 from the line, including four down the stretch. He is speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecial. No, you may not touch him.
He played pretty well tonight. But when I see him against guys like Chauncey and Arenas I just can't help but think 'overmatched'. Also, I heard Callabero say that he can't think a quicker guard in the league than Luke, except for Nash. I don't know about that, it's not like he can get around anybody he wants at will. I will say he runs the break and sees the floor as well as anyone, though.
Well, he can't play up on anybody with the new rules. If he does, he gets called for a bunch of cheap fouls. That means stronger players have a head of steam before they're driving on him and he can't stop them. I still think he'd be averaging about 15 assists a game in a motion offense, but then again, so would all of the other good point guards in the league.
