We should expect something close to 33/9/5 from Luka and 21/7 from KP. RB doubled his points per game on much improved shooting from the field and 3. He came in for Finney to be part of the closing lineup and I thought it was important to have his D, spacing and ability to help with the press and doubles.

Bill Simmons is not wrong.

Solid reasoning. Don't get me wrong, I loved Reggie's play tonight. He on more than one occasion stopped Tatum in his tracks which isn't an easy thing to do. He also hit some timely threes. I do feel like he had moments that were also quite disappointing.

I usually think of the Dirkie as who stepped up the most to help the team win the game, but your thought process is valid too.

In that case then I can see Reggie being the Dirkie winner. Honorable mention to Franky N.
