Did we put too much pressure on Luka? Lebron's first playoff series vs. Lukas's

[Shooter]

LeBron's 1st round, 1st ever playoff series: https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/2006-nba-eastern-conference-first-round-wizards-vs-cavaliers.html
36-8-6 on 51/38/75
Win in 6

Luka's 1st round, 1st ever playoff series:

30-10-8 on 49/34/68
Lose in 6 or Win in 7




Interviewer: Who was your favorite player growing up?

Luka: LeBron James. He is like my idol.

Is Luka feeling the pressure? I hope he can pull of a great game 6 and take it to 7.

Lebrons 1st playoff series was against a 42 win team.

Lukas 1st playoff series is against a 49 win team... that played 10 less games.

No pressure at all :lol

True true, but Bron's second option is 12 ppg Larry Hughes :lol At least Doncic had KP for a few games and Hardaway at 19.4 ppg

Did Luka steal Kawhi's best teammate away to beat Kawhi?

Because that's how Lebron beat Arenas - Arenas won the 1st Round in 05' because Hughes averaged 23 ppg (Hughes was 22/5/5 and 1st team defense in 05')... But then Lebron stole Hughes away, so Arenas lost (remarkably still took Cavs to 6 gms)

Who? LeBron's #2 option Larry Hughes?

2006 Hughes in this series did 12 ppg on 31%

What. A. Treat. :roll: :roll:

Hughes averaged 23 alongside Arenas so that would've helped Arenas beat lebron

But Lebron teamed up with Hughes - stole Arenas' best teammate, so Arenas lost

no love for Jimmy Butler whose Heat just sweeped the Pacers all while posting a 2.5 stl and 1 blk per game average?

[SATAN]

What does Butler have to do with anything in this thread?

[ImKobe]

Luka's going up against the best perimeter defense in the league and got hurt in the middle of the series (along with his 2nd option getting injured) vs. Lebron playing one of the worst defensive teams in the league in '06.

nah. Given his skill and maturity its right where it should be. Plus its not like anyone was expecting mavs to win. If they lose it wont be on luka.

Wow: so Larry Hughes is great "help" while Pippen was a bum and actually cost MJ rings (he would have won more with literally any other 90's all-star per 1-9ball and his ilk). :roll:
