Is it just the golden pineapple or is the audio a bit wacky on this?

Like the effects of the ball bouncing is "enhanced". At 13 seconds especially. Tricked me into going back to see if the ball was flat lmao.

Doncic defence is twrrible

[–] Deadpan_GG@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is like ganking the midlaner non stop until he tilts

Did Luka play defense at all in this sequences? He looked he just stood there trying to be an human obstacle but nothing more.

Someone on that Dallas team should grow a pair and slap some reality into Luka. The number of times where he complains and gives up on defense is too damn high. He's a great player, yeah. But he really needs to tone it down. He LITERALLY complains after EVERY shot or turnover to the point that it's already second nature to him to look at refs whenever he misses any shot.

[–] AdamSilverIsAPusher@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is way toned down complaining compared to last year... fwiw lol

[–] 7nogah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

this is what the lakers shouldve done when Westbrook was with them. attack the paint and avoid shooting threes. imagine westbrook attacking meanwhil Lebron and AD is ready to follow up that will be an easy score in the paint. this is what i love about ty lue he can show us the every strength of his players..

Russell Westbrook is Luca Doncic’s father

Mavs need to trade for Jarrett Allen.

It’s crazy to see in 2023 teams play so far off him. 10 years or so ago playing that far off is just asking him to score, not cuz he’d shoot a three, but because you’re giving him a runway to either dunk over you, pull up middy as you anticipate the drive, or he’d find an angle to get a crafty lay. Now it’s a highlight for him to do that 4 times in a row

Luka got cooked

[–] homeincomes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Luka has always been weak on defense, unfortunately.

[–] BrandinPodziemski@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Kyrie and Luka backcourt is insane defensively

[–] ChiefSoldierFrog@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tired, tilted, fat, lazy, emotional Luka is by far the worst defender in nba history.

[–] Human_Gazelle8822@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Every time Tony Brothers officiates a Luka game, bet the house on the opposite team. Dude despises him.

[–] AdSome9408@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

mavs without lively simply sucks, Dwight Powell is pure shit

[–] Zeeron1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

But I was told a bad 5 game stretch meant he had no place in the league anymore

[–] Meoww2020@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

/MITWestbrook > Luka confirmed?

[–] Street-Common-4023@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Alright first two possessions were decent defense. 3rd one was just ok and the 4th one my lord he didn’t even move his feet he just fouled

[–] Valuable-Baked@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Makes sense, russ is old enough to be Devin Booker's grandfather

[–] da_reddit_reader@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As everyone should. I find that teams don’t do this enough.

[–] boomshiz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

New strat, who dis?

[–] Far_Razzmatazz9791@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

One way to slow down Luka is let him play defense!

[–] zbonesteak13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I understand that he doesn’t want to play up on him for fear of getting blown by, but getting blown by after giving 5+ feet of space anyways Is wild. Guy gives no effort on defense

ATL won the trade

[–] jankology@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Westbrook is a one dimensional player and you just let him use that ONE all over you

[–] Gerb575@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Love me some Russ cookin’

[–] jankology@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Luka "The Euro league is tougher" Doncic????

He looked tired, slow and small all night.

Please stop comparing him to LeBron.

[–] Important_Money_8742@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm happy for Russ... took a lot of shit, and still playing like a beast. Adding Harden to the mix is the dumbest move of all time though.

[–] mangusta123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Someone needs to explain me how can a 6'7 strong point guard with that level of IQ be so bad on defense. Just laziness?

More teams need to do this when playing the Mavericks

[–] CaptainCerealCanada@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Luka is a joke. by far the most overrated player in the league

[–] SwingLow32@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Luka is trash on defense. He’s never good even on his days when he’s right. Russ out there giving work. You know you trash when the guy in front of you runs right into your chest. Although you gave him 5 ft to shoot the j.

[–] Gatorpep@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Blessed day.
