All these game 7's the NBA must feel good right now.


8 point game now with Luka going to the line (for two). Still over 18 minutes of game action left. Far from over.

Don't think this game is a blowout. When you are up 3-2 on the road and down big early no point of going all out and theres a bit of a see ya in game 7 mentality but when you are at home there is more sense of urgency to close. Still expect a big push by Dallas but also didn't expect them to start the game they way they did so who knows.

He's entering the Sheed zone of ref complainers. If he was a less marquees player he would get tossed every other game. Just egregiosu

It’s crazy we all want Luka to be the best him for our entertainment.

Get In shape and stop whining. I don’t think either will happen. We all want to know what the top of his potential looks like

Luka vs Brothers is the new matchup I want.

People complaining about Luka complaining is the new primetime.
