Luka with an epiphany. Post game interview. Don't talk to refs, play ball, have fun
I really liked his answer, just wished he would have figured that out years ago.

Major props to Luka. Someone (no clue who) finally got through to him and told him not to act like such a *****. I didn't notice any complaining, whining, fake limping, etc. it was a noticeable difference in attitude the entire game tonight. And he was being much more aggressive and driving (instead of settling) more than he has been.

We need this attitude every game from here out. I really want to know what finally made it click after all these years. Hopefully it lasts.

That was a fun game. We are clearly the better team. Need to close them out on Saturday.

Draymond Green as a media darling makes me laugh. Literally everyone hates him, but he's not bad on the microphone.

Draymond is great as an analyst, his podcast is very very good. His off court personality appears to be entirely different than what you see on the court. The problem is that what he does on the court borders on felony battery at times.

we crushed the boards tonight
Most of the rebound differential can be attributed to us playing good defense and getting more chances at defensive rebounds, which are obviously easier to get than offensive.

We only outrebounded them by 1 in terms of offensive rebounds, which is pretty wild. Much closer than what I would have guessed.

Regarding his post game tonight…Luka has said this kind of stuff a half dozen times and reverted back the very next game. Sometimes it hurts him and the team… and plenty of times it fires him up and he goes scorched earth and looks like one of the best ever.

I'm as sick of people complaining about Luka complaining as I am… Luka complaining. We get it. He's a crybaby. It is who he is. So is Lebron. So was Duncan. Plenty of all time greats have been perpetual whiners.

Duncan was largely a dead ball whiner though. The issue many have with Lebron and Luka is they sacrifice buckets on the other end with their whining fairly frequently.

That's fair.
Will never forget the look on Duncan's face when he got tossed while sitting on the bench.

Exactly. If Luka wants to only whine during dead balls that's completely different. Would still be annoying but not nearly as maddening.

His entire game was different tonight bc he has a better attitude. So I'm not sure how anyone can say it doesn't matter or that he should keep whining. It was a noticeable difference.

Gotta start fining players for flops like this, and giving them techs when they do it in game.

I noticed that when it happened in the game and I was thinking he should have been called for it. I was seriously questioning whether or not it was a rule that a flop can be called a technical because Dort should have been hit with it so many times this series. Some of his flops have been comical.

Dort needs to stop. It's pathetic and embarrassing.

Lively appears to have the clutch gene. He's just been so much better than Gafford this whole series and he's been so good late in games.
He lost his mom last month. He lost his dad earlier in life. He used his money from Duke/college to pay for his mom's medical bills...

I don't call it the clutch gene. As someone who lost a parent back in January, the "big pressure/high stress" situations aren't stressful at all anymore as you have already lived through arguably the worst challenge of your life to date. Lively has a good head on his shoulders from his mom raising him and he's going to be a star in a few years if he keeps this going.
