Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Scoring Machine

but how many "blow bys"? this is the only (fictional) stat that matters.

 

Congratulations Luka


He surpassed Slovenia's guard, 2017 EuroBasket MVP, and former NBA All-Star Goran Dragic, who previously held the record with 1,095 points.

 

None of these were push ups
Im always amazed, how pro athletes cant do a proper f***ing push up

 

Slovenia vs Italy on Sunday
if wins will play Germany

 

I watched till he was pulled out if could but his big oaf of a teammate missed a point blank lay in against midgets

 

It was interesting that Avidja wasn't really on Luka all that much - maybe too easy to use a PnR to get him off Luka in the internatioal game.

 

guessing they couldn't risk foul trouble? it's not like avdija could even bother luka anyway. this guy has jaden mcdaniels and a second defender sent after him and is basically unbothered.

 

My thoughts were more Avidja is a legit good defender even for the NBA so I would have considered letting Luka go against your best defender and not the rest of these bad Slovenian players who looked like they got a bunch of wide open looks. The soft double they were running: luka just ate up

Israel looks bad so I think the bigger reason was probably they needed to keep him fresh - he had 30 plus points like Luka so I suspect it was more the foul and we have to run the offense thru him deal anyways.

 

He's playing an outstanding tournament.
The best player in the tournament with Jordan Loyd and Giannis.

Slovenian team is poor of talent, very poor.
The 2nd best player in the roster is Prepelic, a player who doesn't play an Euroleague game for 2 years.

I'm italian so I'm the next opponent of Luka.
Honestly I don't think we'll able to defeat him if he plays like the last 3 games.

 

Haven't had a chance to watch the games outside of the highlights.

How's his defense?

 

Non existant

 

But 3 steals a game, so his gambling is paying off!

 

Ignore below he’s been getting decent to good comments … then qualified due to the level of competition.

 

It's actually been fairly good. He is definitely moving a lot better. The numbers he is putting up is unheard of in Euroball. There is a reason that was only the 5th triple double in euro history. He has said several times that the NBA is easier than the euros due to a few rules and the spacing.

I've been watching these games just getting psyched for the season. We are going to have a great year. I think an MVP and a possible championship could be in the works.

It all depends on how Ayton plays the 5. If he comes in motivated look out.

 

No. I realize you were talking about the video freeze frame on the other page, but check the highlights just posted above.

 

What is a “healthy Kawhi?” I don’t ever recall this being a real thing.

 

I just did a circuit style workout with some guys this morning. After going through each of the 12 stations for three times each, at 1:30 per station, we did a relay race. Two teams of five guys. We ran about 20 yards, then dropped and did ten pushups, and ram back to tag the next guy. All but two of us were doing half pushups. Of course, I was the anchor against the fit dude who runs the workout and he didn’t even do full pushups!
WEAK SAUCE!!!!

 

LOL .... Why when you could have been heading out in a boat? How's that part of your new home and lifestyle been working out with the renting arrangement this summer BTW?
