Yeah, you're probably right.
I agree that this is a different Luka than we saw last year. The midrange game completely changes the equation. I think he's getting very close to a level where he's ready to lead a contender, and maybe we're seeing him arrive there now, during this series. He hasn't been quite as good during the last 5 minutes of these games, so that's the last thing I'd like to see before calling it. Maybe we'll get a Luka-dominating close to one of these last two games to clinch the series.
