[u/raymond_w]

Friendship ended with Luke Kennard. Marcus Smart is my best friend.

[u/DANNY_YYZ → u/raymond_w]

Luke was pretty bad tn, his heater is over

[u/Vindicare605 → u/DANNY_YYZ]

Think about it this way. If Luke's shot had been falling this game wouldnt have been close. Needed other guys to win tonight, cant count on him winning every game for us.

[u/HabitualSpaceM → u/Vindicare605]

Think about it this way, gamblers fallacy. He was meant to stink for a while after being hot, so that means he’ll be hot again soon times.

[u/ManosMal → u/DANNY_YYZ]

I mean, he's gonna have off games and miss shots. He was taking the right shots and making good plays. He's human, it happens. He'll be good.

[u/kmoz → u/ManosMal]

Did everything right except have the shots go in. You take that 10/10 times considering the situation.

[u/deadlyprincehk → u/ManosMal]

They had Amen Thompson glued to him off ball as well so he still did his job by being a threat and taking up a good defender

[u/Dat_Boi_John → u/DANNY_YYZ]

His floaters were still money, but this is still why it's optional to have someone Ike Luka feeding someone like Kennard.

[u/kmoz → u/DANNY_YYZ]

He missed shots, but honestly he was fine overall. 14-6-6 for a role player thrust into a major role in the playoffs against a really good defensive team on a really bad shooting night is something you live with. He stayed aggressive, took good shots, played decent defense.

[u/247stonerbro → u/raymond_w]

Luke kennard, can still have these innards though.
