Lu Dort is a good defender but he’s got the biggest leash in the league, no defender is allowed to hand-check, make contact & hack players like him
So i hope the refs let our guys play the same physical defense on Shai & J-Dub like they do with Dort

Main thing in question is.
How will Luka play against Dort now, while Luka is obviously not 100%?

I just worry about the consistency in whistles. If they let Dort play physical, fine. But let Luka play physical defense too.

The difference this time is luka letting ky take the lead… if dort is on luka he should play off ball and find other ways to create offense and spacing neutralizing their best defender through out the game and especially if sag is matched up on ky.

Lmao so against the “luka stopper” he averages the most pts+rbs+assists combined in ba history lmao yeah ok

he’ll most likely average less now because he has a really good team around him and needs to get them going. but then again probably still around 30 pts, so okc defense focuses on him and other 4 guys get a bit easier shots. if they’re not going to double team him, he might average more though

Irrelevant stats. Physicality and attention to detail is 10x higher in the playoffs. And look at how Luka was shooting in the last series… wasnt pretty.

Too bad he’s easy to defend.
