GAME 33 DIRKIE: Winner Maxi (41%) | Runner-up JB (33%)

Luka just toyed with them tonight.

The +/- tallies are crazy this game. Vuc at +10 in 35 minutes in a loss? I dunno. But Brunson was tremendous out there. Don’t think more than a couple of the 38 Magic 4th Q points were his fault.

I take the win. But I must admit I can't really get myself to enjoy these wins. They leave a bad taste in my mouth as I know this team will go nowhere playing this kind of defense and I also know that defense is a matter of habits - every day we don't build any of those, it just doesn't bode well at all for bigger tasks.

I have a lot of questions now that Luka is 22. What kind of cake did he enjoy? Does he like corner pieces, side pieces, or middle pieces? Was he able to blow out all the candles at once (obviously can’t ask him what he wished for or it won’t come true)?

I won’t be satisfied going to bed tonight if I haven’t heard an on-court postgame Luka interview getting to the bottom of these. We only get those kind of interviews after a W. Must win game.

I will go with DrMav. He finally figured it out how to address the team before the games (L10 8-2) to produce a +W score. He's sacrificing his sleep tonight, all for the win. That's the spirit!

I tagged Maxi, he's still heating up after his illness.

Its hard not to give the Dirkie to Luka every game
