AROUND the NBA:

[FireNicoHarrison]

I still miss Luka.  He might be a chubby bastard, but he's our chubby bastard.

Me too.

He is still the best PO performer in NBA.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

The Luka experience works great when you are winning and winning big. Hey we dont have to do anything other that stand around and let this guy feed us open shots. If you've played pickup basketball, you know how soul destroying it is to play with a ball hog that doesn't play any defense. Plus he complains all game long. As soon as you start losing, everyone hates that guy. When the ball moves on offense and your teammates are hustling on defense, it is a beautiful thing to be a part of.

I'm sure Luka will be "fine" if they put a Luka specific team around him and the Lakers are a top 4 seed every year and competing for titles.

We are in an era of Rings or bust. Call me old fashioned but I just wanna turn the TV on and be entertained by good basketball. The anxiety of MUST WIN CHAMPIONSHIP is no longer there for me after the 2011 title.

I really thought the embarrassment of being traded was going to be what Luka needed to take the next step. After the hot start though it looks like he's just the same old guy. He's put weight back on, he barks at the refs instead of getting back on defense, refuses to close out to shooters, chucks step back 3's instead of getting to the rim, and is foul bating at an all-time level. The Mavs may suck, but I've honestly enjoyed watching them more this year without all that garbage.

I wouldn't say I've enjoyed watching the team more this year, but I agree with everything else, and the absence of "that garbage" makes me feel like a more fun to watch version of the team is coming in the future.

I can't figure how Luka's team members can watch film of games, look at his effort on defense, and believe they can win it all. I watched the Detroit- Lakers game, and it looked to me like they were really trying as hard as they could for 3 quarters. They couldn't manage ever take the lead though, and in the 4th quarter, it appeared they sort of gave up trying. Their two best players aren't showing enough consistent effort from game-to-game, or even quarter-to-quarter, and that's got to have an impact on the rest of the team.

Reddick said it’s cuz Detroit was fouling “3-4 times” on ever play. I hate JJ Reddick.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Doncic shots 12 FTs per game. Come on.

Fakers are ridicolous.

The surging Clippers won again behind Kawhi's 45 pts. He's clearly on a heater.

His excuses and calling out his players in the media surely aren't going to bode well for him.

Denver has lost both centers due to injuries, along with Braun and Gordon. Tough stretch.

The whole league should be rooting for him and the Clippers! 

What we don’t need is the Thunder picking a top talent at the top of this strong draft.

Balmer must've finally found a way to replace the fake tree company and delivered this season's under the table payment to Uncle Dennis.

Like him or not, Russ is an all-time great. He never cheats the game.

People thought this was a gap year for Boston since the loss of Tatum. They have quietly been one of the NBA's best teams since their roster reconstruction.

Hornets up by 20 to the Thunder in the third. kon is a atud

[Mavs2021]

Another Hawks loss. They need to get their sh*t together otherwise the Spurs might get another lotto pick and the Spurs seemingly only do top 4 picks.

The Thunder are in a slump..Never thought I would say that. Charlotte smoked them 124-97 at home. They shot 19-37 from 3, Thunder shot 11-39, and drop to 30-7. They are 6-6 in their last 12, after starting out 24-1.

[FireNicoHarrison]

A lot of teams supposed contender or at least pretender are in trouble... Street clothes is available, there will be a bid war for him.

Nobody trust in those fake rumors. Keep calm.
