To be clear, I agree that Luka has another level left in him. I’m just not sure that if we saw that level a year from now that the outcome would change. Even the greatest general can’t win a war without the right army.
The if that really killed us was THJ being injured "all season". It's like the Bucks losing Middleton.
You can spare some games, but having some heavy hitter unavailable long time will come on you.
