NBA Finals Game 4 Thread

Luka Doncic is a great player. Luka Doncic is also a bum.
It’s hard to square all of that, but it’s also hard to see otherwise given his performance this series and especially in Game 3. The end of the first quarter summed it up. Twice in a row and took long 3s where he flopped and whined for a nonexistent foul call instead of getting back on defense. Boston proceeded to score 5 points on those two possessions thanks to him not getting back. Luka is banged up anyway and Boston is exploiting the living hell out of him defensively, just going at him over and over and over again. If there was better effort and less whining, you could live with it. But instead there is poor effort and endless whining. Then, at the end of the game, Luka puts himself in terrible positions, draws fouls, and fouls out with 4 minutes to go, proceeding to whine at the refs the whole time and continuing to do so in the press conference after the game.
Luka, really, shut the fuck up. ESPN’s analyst Brian Windhorst went off on Luka after the game and if you haven’t heard it, you should. Completely deserved, especially since Windhorst is no hater or clown.
Denver or Minnesota probably would have been a better series. But then they didn’t get here so that’s how it goes. Boston has been the best team in the league all season and even without Porzingis, Dallas couldn’t handle them.
Hopefully, Dallas wins so I get one more NBA game in this season, especially so I can see Boston fans boo Kyrie at home while the Celtics win the series. I am going to miss the NBA. Luckily, there is the WNBA as my methadone.
