As a mavericks fan I’ve always wondered why people talk about how Luka is unguardable and I honestly think they don’t actually watch the games or they do but they watch it through rose tinted glasses.
When Lukas threes aren’t falling it’s actually quite simple ; play physical defense. That’s how p bev locked him up as a t wolve, thats how the warriors stopped him in the western conference finals and that’s how the bulls shut him down in tonight’s game.
As a Luka fan Luka is honestly a very mentally weak player with a generational skill set. Once you aren’t afraid of playing actual nba level defense on him he will fold like a cheap chair because he’s use to being coddled by the nba and the refs his entire career.
If nba teams do what the bulls did tonight Luka will regress to being another ball hogging 45% usage rate Westbrook with the production of a prime austin reeves and crying like a bitcoins embiid esque whistle.
Let him shoot
