So if we are going to point the finger at kidd then some of the blame should also go towards Luka not looking engaged to play and spending more time arguing over non calls the entire half.

Luka either has to be incredible offensively, or play a lot better on defense. He's looks pretty bad offensively. Wayyyyyyyyy too many possessions where he isn't moving the ball.

I think we are cooked after this one. I hope I'm wrong. They have the recipe to interrupt normal Luka and the offensive 1v1s to beat anyone we throw at them..again and still.

I have no doubt that if Luka would work out and eat properly and get truly fit he wouldnt be such a liability on defense and would have more stamina late in seasons and late in games. Sucks that 5 years have gone by and he doesn't seem to care enough to change.
