Dallas laying down tonight. It's criminal how bad Luka is defensively. He's giving effort tonight but he lacks instincts and foot speed. They are attacking him every time they have him one on one
He's 25-35 pounds overweight and might want to think about lifting weights occasionally.
It might also be helpful for him to understand when defenders are creeping up from behind to steal the ball. The Celtics did that to him over and over....and over.
He’s also the only guy Boston had to defend most the series.
This series proved he’s not going to carry a team to a championship by himself, especially with a well rounded team on the other side.
But this is not really true. Boston defended Kyrie hard all series. They seemed content to let Luka do what he wanted while trying to hold Kyrie down.
I think this series showed more on the limitations of Kidd than it did Luka. Although I would say I would like to see Luka get in better shape and at least try on defense.
