disclaimer: I’m not shitting on Luka
i hate posting this. it’s not just Luka. the whole team was just lethargic the whole game. but if Mavs want to be serious, they can’t have their leader be a traffic cone on defense
I get mad because there are times where he had position but continues to back pedal.
This are the highlights that get exposure, Luka getting scored on after playing 3 straight quarters and having no legs, We dont show his defensive highlights for most of this season were he has been good.
Some people just wanna drive a narrative lol
Not just no legs but hes clearly banged up and injured yet they cherrypick this moment.
Hes been fine on D most the season.
Also, westbrook got bailed out by refs. Those were some soft foul calls he got.
absolutely pathetic defense
i leave it to the mods if they want to delete this or not
He’s playing through injuries man, stop this bullshit nitpicking.
He came into season injured because they didn’t rest him properly and let him heal in offseason and hes been getting mauled almost every game with no calls from refs.
If you want him to just not play thats fine, sit him out for a few weeks and see how many games Mavs win.
Luka at 80% is better than most the NBA thats why hes playing and you are watching
Sad that Luka was getting roasted at reddit NBA for this. Luka is a capable defender.
„I don’t want to shit on Luka“
Continues to single out Luka, and shits on him.
It’s obvious Luka is playing through an injury right now. Our imbecile coach needs everything to be perfect, to beat an average team like the Clipoers. Yet you guys single out Luka. I’m a Mavs fan since the earliest Dirk days, but because of this pathetic fan base, I hope Luka bolts to play with Giannis or Jokic soon. You guys deserve to be left alone with Kyrie.
