I'm sure there's no worse feeling knowing you can't push-off, explode to the basket, or do anything you could do three weeks ago. What's it like to be a super-competitive person in a super-competitive environment, and not be able to compete at the highest level.... and at the same time know it's hurting your team? What's he supposed to look like?
Well, that's the point, isn't it? How will he respond to this situation? Will he essentially quit as he did in game 1 (and yes, Luka quitting doesn't look like anyone else quitting), or will he do the best he can and stay focused on competing and winning? If the former, season's over. If the latter, we may live to fight another day.
