Alright Luka Fans, tonight is the real test (besides the playoff).

[Mask the Embiid]

Kawhit and Playoff P are going to try to absolutely shut the mavs out to make a point tonight....All those games vs the cavs and all that other bs was fun to watch.But tonight is the real test to see if the mavs are an actual championship-caliber team this season.


I am looking forward to this game fellas :applause:


Luka vs Kawhit,Beverly,Harkless, and PG's defense is going to be amazing to watch..If he thought the Lakers defense was tough he hasn't seen nothing yet.

[zeerghit]

luka for 40 no kawhi or choke pg stoping this guy

[Mask the Embiid]

luka for 40 no kawhi or choke pg stoping this guy

:eek:

Anyhow, they have to tag team Luka and he'll basically be by himself COMPARED to Kawhi, George, Beverly, Harrell, etc.

Not a fair matchup at all.

If Luka wins, it'll be a huge upset.

Kawhi and Playoff P are working on a plan to shut down Joel Embiid. It goes like this

Step 1 - Give Joel Embiid the basketball
Step 2 - Let him shoot the basketball
Step 3 - Collect the rebound once he misses

It doesnt appear to be need much adjusting at this stage

[Im so nba'd out]

They failed the test horribly and the team got exposed.Those blowouts vs the cavs (ect) meant absolutely nothing just like i thought


Clippers in 4

Lakers in 4

They're dogshit outside Luka and KP.

Which team in the league starts 6'9'' Dwight Powell at C except the Mavs?

Who starts Dorian Finney-Smith?

Who starts Tim Hardaway Junior except the Knicks?

This team sucks, but not only do they suck, they're also real dainty and soft, soft like charmin.

Turned the game off already.

[3ball]

Luka gets exposed tonight as another threes/layups dummy that can't play basketball (score in the midrange)

Kawhi and PG will take away his threes and layups and turn it into an 80's game where midrange will win it

Unfortunately, Luka lacks this repertoire except that weak-ass floater that he does every time - that's his only midrange shot/move/repertoire - so that's extremely limited

Hate to break it to you but porzingus is not that good...and are you saying #needsmoarhelp?

[Im so nba'd out]

He's gotta get by Bird first and Luka can't do this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq7YkFvdp2E&t=10m06s


He lacks the midrange, lightning release, and the repertoire to score in unspaced environments like that, let alone in the clutch on the biggest stage

Flawed player and his bball iq is not as high as i thought( i should of known this when i seen he doesnt know how to play defense....which is half the game)....He will still dominate the statsheet though in the regular season....he's no goat james though.


Just like with ben simmons, i can see me being very disappointed being a fan of luka come playoff time.

Haha...you think?

Maybe being 20, playing with a nothing of note supporting cast, and playing an elite defensive team...you know, might play a role in not dominating the game...

i edited that out....no excuses and no complaining about teammtes when you rode lebron fans for it.


Im not cutting him any slack anymore.He was old enough to dominate the euroleague and win championships there he's old enough to dominate the NBA

I have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to Lebron.

But, for reference, I've been the one telling everyone to tap the brakes on all this Luka mandess shit for the past week.

Thats not the only reason why. Against good defenders the only move he has is the step back. He has no mid range and has a hard time getting to the hole. His defences is pretty bad also. He may be a MVP candidate in the regular season but he won't be a top 5 player in the post season.

Which is fine btw. He's still very young. I just think everyone needs to chill with the luka being the best player shit

Been saying that for over a week now.

But, lets also tap the brakes on calling his game "flawed" just because he can't dominate what is, in my opinion, the best team in the league...with a nothing of note supporting cast at that level.

Lebron didn't play well against this team and I'd imagine not many stars are going to play great against them either.

I wouldn't say flawed but he definitely has some things he needs to work on if he's gonna be the best player in the league at some point. He'll get exposed in the playoffs with his current game. The refs will call less and the game will be even more physical. He won't be able to rely on the step backs and foul shots. Teams will attack him defensively also. Today's game was a sign of things to come in the playoffs.

Again, what is he going to get exposed for?

Being 20 years old, in his 2nd year, and not the best player in the game?

Like, this is what I've been talking about for a week now with this Luka mania going on...it is just stupid.

It is stupid to act like he's done enough to warrant talk of "best player in the game" and "should be drafted over Dirk"...

But it is also stupid to act like "best player in the game" is even a remotely fair standard to hold someone to in his situation.

You could legit say the same thing about almost any player other than a couple right now.

Ok sorry well hes not getting exposed because like we both said hes only 20. It's the fans that are saying hes better than lebron,Kawhi or even harden who are getting exposed. That's a better way of putting it I guess

[juju151111]

He has one bad game against the 3 best Perimeter defenders in the league. Relax and eho says he doesn't have a mid range? He just doesn't shoot it, idk why he doesn't through. I wish he would of studied Kawhi instead of Harden dumb ass. Lol at people acting like he never had good gajes against good teams before.

[imdaman99]

This is what the Clips do. They lock up 1st options. They're gonna be doing it all year.

It's the style in which clippers defend. It's the closest thing to playoff defence your gonna see in the regular season. Once playoffs comes around alot of teams will look like this defensively because of the extra leniency of physical play and less call from the refs. Clippers will look even more deadly.

The regular seasons been a joke so far for the most part. Perimeter players have been facing very little resistance so players numbers are inflated. What they're doing now won't be the same in the playoffs.

And luka doesn't have much of a midrange. He doesn't have much of a iso offence at all really. The majority of his offence consists of step back shots because that's the only way he can create any kind of space against faster more athletic defenders. The only way he ever gets to the hole is off a screen that frees him up or if he has a smaller or slower defender on him thay he can take advantage of.

And it's not like with Larry bird who had a high quick release that he could get a shot off at almost anytime. Lukas release is average at best.

I like him alot but the success hes having right now in a weak regular season wont translate to the post season. He'll still be good but he won't be nearly as dominant.

I didn't see him getting locked up, I saw him miss 3s he usually makes and he got to the line pretty much at will. Mavs aren't good enough inside defensively so that will plague them against good teams all season.
