72 percent from the FT line is unacceptable for Luka.
No way should he be only 5 points higher than Ben Simmons in the FT department. That’s embarrassing.
I’d be way more worried about that than some F’in techs.

Pleeeeenty of reasons.
Even if we wanna talk about not basketball stuff - the techs and *****ing at officials aren't at the top of that list.

Who would you trade KP for then? I have a hard time thinking of who, within reason, would be a good fit on that team.

What if I told you that Damian Lillard and the Blazers were a #3 seed in 2018.....and got swept by the Pelicans in the first round. And he averaged 18/4/4 on 35/30/88 splits?

Y’all “roster watch”....Waaaaay to much in hindsight. Anthony Davis had Nikola Mirotic as his 3rd option in the playoffs. Averaging 19ppg. Where is he now?
Dame is a dawg. He’s escaped this somehow, due to likeablity.
This is crazy.
If you’re semi-likable you can basically escape anything.

TBF, the Blazers were only one game better than the Pelicans. And Dame had Jrue and the entire Pelicans defense zeroed in on him. He had to come back the following season with the 35 footers to combat being double teamed so far out.What if I told you that Damian Lillard and the Blazers were a #3 seed in 2018.....and got swept by the Pelicans in the first round.

That's the million dollar question.
The ideal profile for bigs with Luka is closer to Dwight Powell than it is KP.
Roster watch in hindsight? Third seed or not that Blazers team wasn't doing anything.What if I told you that Damian Lillard and the Blazers were a #3 seed in 2018.....and got swept by the Pelicans in the first round. And he averaged 18/4/4 on 35/30/88 splits?

Could make an easy argument the Pelicans were a better roster without question.

Yeah that was a weird season where 3-8 were all within 2 games of each other. The T-Wolves damn near ended up in 3rd or 4th
But yeah, Jrue had Dame on lockdown that entire series. One of the better defensive efforts I’ve seen in a playoff series.

Could make an easy argument that if Dame played 5% bettter, his team wouldn’t have been swept in the first round by the Pelicans.
The Pelicans swept the damn blazers, and Dame struggled mightily, because he didn’t know how to attack a trap or move without the ball.
That’s what happened. It cannot always fall into roster watching. The team that wins, always looks like they have the better roster
. Even if they’re comparable.Saying Dame’s playoff flameouts are due to him not having a capable roster to compete Isn’t true. He’s had good enough teams to compete. He’s had some great moments in clutch situations to advance, that overshadowed his consistent low moments in meaningful series.

Random thought: WTF happened to OJ Mayo? I know he got banned for drug use, but he was pretty decent.

Better roster if ever it shouldn’t be enough to get swept with HCA
