When I watch them play, I don't think Tatum is on the same level as Luka. Tatum disappears far too often for my liking

I would accept Luka as the better player. I guess I'm just saying that, overall, Idk if I put Luka so much higher than Tatum that it is a difference maker in a series. Especially when considering the depth of Boston.
Though... I will admit. At this rate, Luka will make me eat my words from earlier in this thread if the Mavs make the Finals and obviously win it all. I was starting to put him in the Melo category... but he's been coming up big. Now he just needs to close it out.

Melo whole career is different if the Pistons had drafted him. He most likely has some rings and Detroit dynasty goes longer. He also would have had way more guidance on the team. He went to Denver and had to be the man from the beginning.

Bout the only thing they have in common is Dallas had a poor roster just as Denver usually did with Melo.

I more so meant someone who puts up nice numbers but can't get his team over the top as the main guy.

Well Melo did spend his whole career shooting midrange jumpers (in fairness, that was still "ok" at the time) which is the most inefficient shot in basketball so I suppose it's only natural.

The Pacers could have been up 2-1. Oh well.

That was actually a great last play by the Pacers. Just didn't fall

And now we will get an interesting Finals matchup between the one remaining superstar in Luka and the supposedly complete team that is the Celtics. By the numbers, Boston should have a pretty decent advantage on paper, but if superstars rule all then it should go to the Mavs despite all the numbers.

This one aged interestingly as Pacers got swept, but coulda shoulda woulda won like 3 games but choked big time. Close games, but in the end still a sweep and that's the part people will remember in future years.
Pacers showed they can kinda hang though, very promising for them despite the sweep

He’s still a better player in my opinion.
