It boggles my mind how the media only looks at the offensive counting stats. Luka is amazing....at half the game, and sucks/makes no effort on the other half. Same with Kyrie. That is why Dallas will never be a great team. Jokic plays defense. Maxey plays little. Hence why 76ers are bad on opp ppg. Milwaukee lost the trade from Holiday to Lillard. Pure lost it. They are now one of the worst defensive teams. Defense is much harder to quantify, but the teams that play it are almost always in the game. I just wish the C's would focus a tad more on moving the ball, making the extra pass, the extra cut, and finish at the rim or kick out to the wide open threes rather than settling for the contested threes(yes I mean you JT and JB). It would up the efficiency, and better utilize that the whole team can shoot the three and all of the team is good/great passers. Would also make for a little better rebounding when the driver ends up in the lane for the shooters misses. I would love to see tatum end up 28, 10, and 5or 6 for his stat line.
It is just my pet peeve to see all of these "stars" like luka get accolades over the truly great 2 way players that play both sides of the game. Who is the games best PG currently, and make sure you factor in both sides of the ball.
