How is OKC not hunting Luka on defense each and every time down the court? That douchebag can barely move and isn't even trying on defense, making Kevin Love look like prime Ben Wallace.
These last 2 games really take some of the shine off Denver's 2023 title - one of the easiest paths to the title maybe ever:
8 seed Minnesota
4 seed Phoenix
7 seed Lakers
8 seed Miami
Probably the right call (moving screen) by the letter of the law.
But considering what the refs have been allowing previously in the game and in the playoffs, to make that call in that situation...weak.
Speaking of...

Without Allen, the Cavs look so small compared to Orlando.
And Garland/Mobley...smh.
Strus is also an eyesore at this point.
JBB is as bad as Paul Silas & John Lucas.
Really the entire team sucks outside of Mitchell.
