Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[audiosway]

I think you may be right, and the Christie hate in this forum really disappoints me.

Christie is REALLY good. On both ends of the floor. And he's still very young with lots of room to grow.

The fact that he's not Luka, pffft since when is that the standard? Early thinking that "he looks like he might be an All Star one day" is an incredible level of play by a youngster. 

FWIW I so enjoy Team Ball wayyyyyyy better than an offense that is tied every possession to the whims and results of one player.

I do too. I love team ball. Team ball and defense are very fun to me. The Christie hate is very disappointing. he seems like a great kid, he's a great young up and coming player, and at 21 has plenty of room to grow.

Luka as a standard is just dumb. Very few live up to those standards. Then again, I watched Luka highlights last night from the game against Denver. He is starting to look more like himself. However, he looks closer to 35 than 25. I went back and watched some highlights from the bubble vs last season and I can't believe how much athleticism he has lost in that short of a time. Kyrie looks closer to 25 than Luka.
