Game 8 Dirkie Thread: LUKA!

[mvossman]

I have to go with Luka. +35 in only 32 minutes is pretty crazy.

Yeah, I feel like this game kind of highlighted the difference between Luka and Kyrie.  Kyrie played well but when he was saddled with an injury depleted bench unit they really struggled, even against a team that was not playing well.  When he was subbed out for Luka it completely changed.  I'm not sure there is anyone in the NBA right now that can raise the level of play with limited talent next to him (like he has had to do for a big chunk of his career here) to the degree that Luka can.
