if someone had a sign at the game, or got out the concept of Lex Luka being an NBA evil genius of manipulation to radio or tv media i think it would be a useful counter measure against him working the refs

the inly reason I think this was really stupid is that refs might not give him the benefit of the doubt when you're just flat admitting you're faking a worse injury.

they review the games afterwards, so i'm not sure why they would do it to book when they keep making calls for Luka or the head-boppin Brunson.

it doesn't help Booker individually, but i think the more attention that is given to Luka's antics, the better

Yeah. The foul by Finney-Smith was real enough.

Lex Luka beat our Super Man in issue 6 of the series.

for the most part, i can't complain about Luka's acting or the calls this game, but there was 2 really odd calls that were gifts to Luka.

1. the reversed call on his foul -- totally inconsistent with the way body contact has been called on an in-air collision with a shooter.

2. the Luka foul on Ayton's dunk. i could have accepted a double foul, though it would be unusual. but a taunting technical? bull-squat

our defense really stinks on Luka. i don't know how he gets around his defender with his moderate speed so easily but do we really have to concede his layup when he does? -- because we can't pick up fouls by touching him or allow him to pass to a 3pt shooter?

this is really nothing new for a defense to deal with
