@@somdudedatdude1425 Well tbf he was ill due to corona and had some injuries. After coming back his efficiency wasnt at 100% which is totally understandable but couldnt help their team at that point. its not fully the one man show that gave no room for another big player. Luka also like to play pick and role and post ups with other centers (Kleber, Wood, Powell) But i agree to a certain point, Luka is the more promissing role player so they had to give him the attention and future on the mavs

[@dizzylv_]

Wooooooo Kristaps Porzinģis on top 👑👑

[@j.r.kropsky3509]

KP, what better fit is there for this team. Although initially skeptical given his injury-prone career, the thought of a 7"3 anomaly who can shoot three pointers like smooth daggers made me a believer. And, yes, there is something unique about what is going on in D.C. Maybe it is the political climate. Or maybe pink uniforms. As for the rest of the crew, if Kuzma can find his rhythm again, and Bradley is willing to continue to seriously consider in a most selfless way the contributions of his teammates as he did this evening, then there is the possibility that this team is going very, very far. Deni, the Israeli sensation who has yet to get back his groove--will add not only to the defensive pressure. He is young still, but eager. This is a team, as KP said in his postgame interview, that could easily score this much nightly. If Wes Unseld, jr.'s defense is clicking, as I think he's now had enough time to tinker with his defensive program, then his heavy emphasis on zone defenses, will have finally cherry blossomed. We are at a crossroads here, Wizards fans. But have no fear, Will the Thrill is here. And Kuzma's old friend from childhood in Flint, Michigan, Monte Morris. Or Rui, a mean presence at the short jumper, and his former teammate at Gonzaga, Corey Kispert, who is slowly becoming a three-point threat. Consider also, Jordan Goodwin, whose story is plucky. I am amused by his stat sheet. See his absurdly high steals and rebounds. For a guy under 6"3, he is super agile, explosive on defense, and contributes buckets and assists. Cheers for Johnny Davis' return--and bucket! And the unsung hero award goes to Anthony Gill! And lest we forget the rim rocker himself, Arkansas Razorback Daniel Gafford, a fine 6"10 specimen with wackadoodle jumping abilities. In conclusion, if KP can continue to pump fake his way under the basket, slam it home like it's a little toy basketball hoop that you placed over your door, and he can save balls from nowhere, and deny some of the more imposing opponent players---well she-it, partner!
