Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Machine

Was fun watching him pick and choose which weak nuggets defender to roast on different possessions.

 

When I saw this version of Luka, I knew he was back. The 16 point first quarter was a strong indicator, as well.

His defense should also get some love tonight. He was moving out there. Great job on the passing lanes, hitting the glass, competing on switches into Joker.




Thanks Nico!

 

We do have the team for it. Our defense will keep getting better. Anyone that wants to play defense can play defense. JJ obviously knows what he is doing in game planning.

 

Good with the bad, he won't stop complaining

 

This dude is a cold blooded assassin the likes we haven’t seen since 8/24. Played like doo doo vs Utah and Charlotte, then brings his A game vs. a top team like Denver.

 

Hard to blame Luka for the complaining he was getting hacked non stop all night and was getting no calls. It’s getting ridiculous the amount of non calls he gets. Same thing with LeBron.

 

certainly a step in the right direction

watching him play tonight was the first time it truly sunk in for me that he's a laker. i think he also may have gotten over the trade shellshock too

 

Yeah, but it won't happen. I've watched a lot of Luka games in national TV and he's going to complain and yell at the refs for a foul while a play is still happening.

It's almost comical. He would fall down, get up, and while the other team is still running their play, he would walk past the players and straight to the ref.

 

Not long after the Luka trade, I bought my first ever “authentic” version of a Lakers jersey, yellow Luka 77 from the lakers store online.

Due to his best performance as a Laker tonight, I was prepared to purchase a second one, the purple “statement” jersey, but seems like most sites sold out of most colors and sizes for Luka.

Does anyone know why our purple/away “statement” jerseys have the Jordan logo instead of Nike?

 

Wait, so we’re not calling him fat anymore?

no Lufa Doughcic?

 

Luka and Lebron have not understood one thing : the more you will complain , the less calls you'll get

 

Denver is no longer our Kryptonite.

Luka Doncic is their Kryptonite.

 

Dude you should read back GameTime, every other post is fat related. In fact, the Lakers already stopped leasing private jets, they upgraded to cargo planes just to allow for all the extra weight.

 

I never thought this before, but purple is slimming. Makes ya look thinner than you are. At least for that guy wearing 77 it did. Watch what a fat azz he looks like in gold. Then again, he'll drop 40.

Not pounds. Points.

His short shots 8 to 2 feet from the rim, still look off.

The Big Q for him will last at least through the end of this season: will he be able to get into his best shape and avoid those nagging calf injuries? Is he too set in his ways already and nothing our 40 year old Action Figure says can sway Luka's slob ethic? I mean, the guy's insanely great, but he's too young to be missing so many games due to calf issues that seem to be strongly correlated with his weight.
