Other players are showing out tonight I agree but previous games in this series it's been all Luka.
How good are these guys without a talent like him to lead? Not saying your wrong but sometimes great players get the best out of their teammates. Not sure these guys would shine elsewhere.

Well, Kawhi is reminding all of us that it might be premature to anoint Luka the title of best player on the floor in this series. Kawhi is putting the Clippers on his back and might carry them to a game 7.

I agree that a great player like Luka (or Kawhi) makes his teammates better and brings out the best in them. But Hardaway was a really good player with the Knicks. Josh Richardson was a major rotation player for the Heat and then the Sixers, but can't even get on the floor for Dallas. But yes, Luka makes them all better.

Kawhi with a monster game. Luka 1-7 from 3.

He's so good, one of my favorite players of all time. He is still my 3rd pick if I need to win a game for my life of active players (lbj and Durant the other 2).
I know I'm in the minority but I want the Clippers or bucks to win it all

Are you guys saying you'd take Khawi over Luka right now? Or just arguing for arguments sake?

Yes I am taking the 2 time finals MVP right now over Luka right now. (I would obviously would rather take Luka in the long term)

Not a strong stance in my opinion . You pick one for what he's done and the other for what he'll do. Cool
Luka with a poor game with 29 11 and 8. But hey he didn't shoot the 3 ball well!!

You realize Kawhi average 25/6.5/5 this year right. It's not like he is washed. Luka is amazing would probably between 5 and 10 on a player I'm picking for my life. I'm just going to trust the guy who has done it in the NBA playoffs over multiple years on different organizations over the guy who hasn't been out of the 1st round in his career.
In a couple of years I'll probably say Luka would be my #1 choice but right now I'm still taking kawhi for this season
