Not exactly a hot take around these parts, but Luka shouldn’t be a lock. Due to the media’s Lakers bias he probably is, but he shouldn’t be.

Ya Cade probably makes it because of narratives so it comes down to if one of those guys doesn’t hit the game limit I think he should make it over JB

Luka is not a lock at all if the Lakers remain a 6th seed

Confirmation bias and bad bandwagon fans, my friend

Shit, I’ve started seeing some bananas bad takes by Wolves fans lately, and with names I don’t recognize

His Rudy hate boner is bigger than the Eiffel Tower 😂

Not even the paint. Everything inside the arc. And its not like either of them are bad perimeter defenders either. They’re both very good at it. They just get pulled out to the arc because they’re merely good to great out there instead of generational

I would say Ant is better right now but I don’t think there’s a big gap between them, especially not big enough to make one”obviously” better than the other.

If Ant makes goes to the WCF again then the gap would increase in his favor. 

How come? One has his team with the best record in his conference and the other has them in the 3rd-5th range in the other conference. 

What makes them have such a big gap between them in your opinion? 

No I know, but it’s the only place I can think of that had Chet above Ant

It’s an energy equation

That first WCF run he was working hard at D through most of the season, and all of the playoffs….and was gassed by the conference finals

Olympics taught him how to choose when to use his finite amount of energy like the old heads do

He had legs against the thunder, last year

But they were the thunder, making every shot, getting every whistle. In a vacuum though, he did do better.

Incremental improvements, every year

Yeah but you lose how he scored the 41 pts. And 67% is like good, but for a 41 pt game, not that good
