I am hoping he can counter Montrez Harrell when we play the Clippers.Man, the West All-star team is going to be stacked. You almost have to be an MVP candidate to make it this year. Some serious talent will be left off of the squad. It was nice of the GSW to have all of their perennial all-stars drop off to allow for some new blood! It will be interesting if players like Curry/George play enough to earn spots (or get voted on). If Porzingis has a prayer to make it, the Mavs had better have a top record and he would need to boost his game even higher. If Luka keeps up this pace, he is a lock.
That was one historically big lineup Rick put out there tonight and it worked.
PS. A lot of guys earned Dirkie consideration tonight. Luka is making a serious push for All Star and All NBA.
In addition to Luka, you have new upstarts like Mitchell/Booker/Ingram/SGA. You have perennial snubs Gobert/McCollum/Conley (although he is off to a dreadful start) and Leonard/Porzingis/Russell all moved from the east. It is going to be tight getting in.
