Luka is spectacular, but this organization is about to pull a Lebron/Cleveland part 1. No faith or even slight hope that Cuban and the front office can corral a good #2. Porzi is at best a #3, and even then far too inconsistent. THJ is so streaky it's unreal. Doe doe is a great defender and team guy but blows hot and cold, we have gotten zip from our two new guys, I like Brunson, Kleiber is just okay, Boban (the true goat) has no business getting minutes in any playoff series, and he's starting for the Mavs ffs.
Luka's usage is insane and I worry he'll burn out early. Seems to be getting in some shape, which he'll need - that's the only reason Lebron is still going at his age after Cleveland did everything in their power to destroy his body his first 5 years in the league. That's the part people keep forgetting when comparing Doncic to other superstars in the league today.... he's Dallas' ONLY option on offense and everything runs through him. No other player in the league, including Steph, including Lebron, (okay Dame is probably in the exact same boat tbh) has to do everything. He sets up every shot, has to either score/assist and then he's always looking to position for an OR. They beat LA yesterday with him scoring or assisting 32/37 buckets for Dallas, in a game he was double teamed multiple times and also a game where Porzi gave Dallas 5 points until the very end (finished with 8). Also, a game where Boban not only started, but played serious minutes. Nobody else in the league is beating the Clippers last night in that scenario, not LBJ, not Jokic, Not Embiid, not Harden or Giannis. Nobody. And I don't give a fuck if anybody agrees with that. I said this last summer and feel even more strongly now that there is a serious racism problem in the NBA and it ain't the way they're painting it. A soft spoken, 3lite baller that's humble, respectful and good natured - He's the anti Lebron. This kid should be on the cover of every tv every night. The face of everything the NBA is marketing. Global appeal, speaks 4 languages, young and good looking and yet I see Zion everywhere, Trae (rofl), all these bums who at best will have HOF careers, a handful of all star appearances etc, meanwhile Luka will go down as an all time great if he continues on this path. He doesn't even need to improve much... FT's (abysmal), bitching at the refs, etc. But that's it, he has everything else in his locker on offense at 22 years old and is dominating the "best defensive team in the NBA".
