Yeah, there were still questions as to whether or not Brunson was worth the extension he couls get - which I believe was $53 million, over 4 yrs? And if offered that during the first half of Dallas' WCF run, he would've signed. It really wasn't until the playoffs when Luka missed a few games against Utah, is where Brunson showed another level.
Crazy to think Dallas drafted two hall of famers in that draft, and lost one...

Whoaaaah. Might need to pump the brakes on Brunson lol. He's having a great year but little early to enshrine him.

Mmmf. Luca on the struggle bus again in 1st half. 1-4 from FTs, missing open looks, caught dribbling too much and turning it over or jump balls. Foul trouble too for the bigs. Spells trouble for 2nd half if they don't improve shooting %.
Thank God the Stars are destroying the Avs.

He's going to be the #1 for years on a Knicks team that will never quite be good enough - so he'll have numerous years of really "pretty" stats. I think he'll eventually get in, although it's certainly way too early too definitively.
SGA gets so many foul calls, very Harden-esque... If a player is hunting contact, why do you constantly give them the benefit of the doubt.

Ok. Seriously. Every year it feels like Dallas hits a buzzsaw of a team. I looked at 15 mins of the Dallas game, and I'm concluding it's that too much Luka during the season, and first round of playoffs. He's just is outta gas, and it's a wrap-a-dap. I mean dude is missing free throws.

Silver is a pussy and is very soft on the players. Stern is rolling over in his grave.

Luka is keeping his priorities in check.

Not sounding the alarm yet. Mavs huge a big tendency to lay an egg game 1 (similar to the Stars). They really stayed in the game for 3 quarters while playing just horrific. I expect them to be better.
A banged up Luka hurts a lot though. Luka always has massive playoff games, and that just hasn't happened yet this year.

I'm a bit worried it took a nuclear game from Washington, and a superb, efficient games from THJ and Green to beat OKC. Then again, there is a lot of room for Kyrie and Luka to be better. Unfortunately, I'm skeptical Luka is healthy enough to drag them through this without a huge series from Kyrie.
