It's funny to see a game like that and think about how the Bucks swapped Jrue for Dame, and thought that would be the path to a championship. I don't know if they could have worked out a swap of Middleton for Dame instead, but that was clearly the upgrade they really needed. Jrue is still a great defender, and he can put up a good amount of points every night. I think the Finals MVP race is still Jaylen Brown's to lose at this point, but Jrue might have a shot at it if he can have another game like that.
There is an off chance Luka gets Finals MVP even if Dallas loses. It's hard to argue that he's not the best player in the series so far, but the award almost always goes to a member of the winning team. We might see that here if the rest of the Dallas team continues to screw around for 2 more games while Luka shines.
