It’s just a weird part of his game. All star players get a favorable whistle, Luka as much as anybody.
Tell me honestly, how many fouls would have Dort got, if he was that physically guarding Shai? Dort is holding Luka with both hands constantly. What Dort is doing is not D, it's foul in every possession, many times multiple fouls. He shouldn't last more than a half. The difference in D on Luka and Shai is enormous, there's 10x more contact on Luka. Luka avg. 7 FTs in the series and Shai 9. It doesn't matter that Luka is 230 and can absorb fouls easier, Dort is playing wrestling not basketball D. On the other hand DJJ and others are getting called for every contact on Shai, I would say that Luka's frustration is understandable.
