3ball style of play is proving to be better in these playoffs than the archaic 2ball style

Already?
Yup. The 90’s gold standard was always 50% mid range shooting. Today’s game we have many players shooting 40% from 3 that’s the equivalent of 60% from midrange

Could also have something to do with Luka's teammates playing better than Kawhi's, *cough* Pandemic P *cough*.
Kawhi is also shooting poorly from three this series at 26.9%. It's probably best that he doesn't do what he did second half of this last game and start launching a bunch of threes.

Could be that Kawhi has maybe said two words to his teammates all season. That’s what you get when you have a recluse as a leader. I use the term leader in the loosest terms lol

If you're a bronstan trying to prove a point.. let me just say he's definitly not doing any of those things.

I like Luka because I recognize greatness when I see it
But the Mavs are dead
They will lose in 6
Clippers can still go up a notch, and the Mavs are already playing over their skis
It was a nice effort by Luka.. but we've seen this before.... his team will get handled and he will look more human.. the "Luka Rules" about to go into effect
Bet against the Mavs.. thank me later

Bet against the 7 seed, in favour of the 2 seed. Really went out on a limb there. What is your next great prediction... bet on the Bucks against the Magic?
Thank me later.

In 89', a lot of people thought the 6-seeded Bulls would beat the Pistons after MJ had back-to-back 40 point games and hit the game winner over Rodman to get a 2-1 lead... So Luka must learn the lesson like all greats do - 1-man teams don't win

So DK couldn't get it done despite being deemed the favorite by the masses? Oof, big oof.

Bulls were massive underdogs, but after mj looked like god in games 2 and 3, people thought the bulls could win just like some people think the Mavs can win

LeBron has literally shot over 40% from 3 before, you don’t know basketball.

Seems, per your own words, they were deemed the favorites by the people. Already backtracking to some because you realised the hole you just dug yourself.

I was talking about recent lebron and just because he did once in 17 years, doesn't mean he's a 3 point or midrange threat. Doesn't even them attempt threes like a luka even though he's not a 40% guy himself. What op said is foolish for now. You have a whole lot of attitude, but you really shouldn't buddy.

People aren‘t ready yet to accept Luka > Kawhi NOW already, but he is.

Almost like Luka can run an offense and Kawhi can't.

Do you actually think thats the case?
As said, Luka can actually run an offense.
Kawhi doesn‘t / can‘t.
If both would swap teams, Clippers would have swept last night.

the 3ball is Luka's weakness on offense. He does the most damage inside the arc.
It is true that Kawhi can't direct an offense like Luka but that doesn't mean Luka is the better player. Kawhi is an elite defender and a great iso scorer.
Only time will tell if Luka becomes a better player than Kawhi.

Yet another lie. MJ's point totals by game in the 89' ECF: 32, 27, 46, 23, 18, 32. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jordami01/gamelog/1989#all_pgl_basic_playoffs
