The Mavs went 3-1, Luka went off for 34/5/7 on 59/44/84 shooting splits and 2 steals a game, just 3 turnovers also.
Jokic went 2-1 with stats of 35/16/9 on 56/25/74
Steph went 31/4/3 on 41/39/93 and the Warriors went 1-3
Now, Jokic’s stats are insane but Luka played one more game with much better efficiency. It could be his. Plus, Steph and Jokic have both already won it and they do like to mix it up when they can.
Yes Luka had a strong case in both weeks, but so did Jokic and Ant. The Wolves have won 6 in a row and their wins against the Celtics and Warriors are more impressive than the Mavs wins over Orlando, Clips, and NO, imo. No reason to get salty about it. Luka is still probably top 1-2 in the mvp race atm.
That one loss was rough though - it felt like Luka had his most efficient and least efficient games I’ve seen within like 5 days of each other. Ant will probably win it based on record and +/-
