thread of luka doncic

Luka playing the part of the controlled, efficient smart veteran to Harden's bad- decision making, inexperienced, easy-to-fluster noob.

As of today he’s MVP imo

literally just tweeted this. don’t think it’s really close

I'd put Giannis up there cause of his defense (vs Luka's lack of)

Mavs are tied for 3rd in the west, he’s averaging a 30 point triple double, Porzingis hasn’t really been good. It’s his under the circumstances at present

lmao that rules

hahaha

the nba needs a least a couple of deeply dysfunctional franchises at all times

p cool for luka he dodged the suns and kings

yeah that's a really good point

he's shooting 36% on threes over the last 10 games btw, if he can do that over a season I think it's game over

Actually Luka woulda been cool for the suns. I mentioned how good luka has been in convo with a good friend from here (big suns fan) and he shut me down quick “I don’t want to talk about it”

It’s all exasperated cos of aytons suspension and Lukas start but it comes up a TON on local sports radio here

as it should!

Yah for sure.

checked last week on bb-ref's MVP tracker and it was basically a 3-way tie w/ Giannis, Lebron, and Harden. Luka was at 9%

he's since vaulted to the top spot

the two spidermans pointing at each other

Harden is extremely adept at dealing with external forces particularly, anticipating arm position/contact & deceptively engaging his upward shot motion

He’s so good at doing that I have no idea how you practice something like that but he has to. But also he doesn’t get that call in the playoffs

maybe he doesnt care about the playoffs has anyone asked him

I guess the new thing is to pretend Luka’s flopping is similar to Harden’s.

feel like harden has dialed the flopping back a lil bit is trying more for actual contact, mb he learned from the playoffs after all

Luka really doesn’t do that much nonsense. Flops a bit on 3 pointers if he thinks he got fouled. It’s like comparing Zaza to Laimbeer.

yeah i havent really noticed anything egregious from him

he is pure

I appreciate how lagoon has toned down the luka skepticism, also he’s done 3 dunks now including 2 in the last week

pfft trying to start shit

hehe

lagoon was out there ghost writing for all these talking heads

luka doncic is an excellent basketball player

Hyped to see him in person Friday

Dude missed every 3 except 1 in warmups. Should retire IMHO.

15-5-5 in 1st quarter sheesh. At least 3 of the assist were oops.

I love oops. oops are sweet hoops!

Just made a pass outta of getting doubled behind 3 point line to guy cutting to hoop that maybe only LeBron would even think of trying. Threaded it between 3 guys.

1 rebound away from a 40+ point triple double

luka had a nice november

32.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 10.4 assists in 33.8 minutes per game on .639 true shooting

hmm that does sound better

2018 Draft proposal rumored on Suns’ table: Draft Luka Doncic, go after free agent Clint Capela https://t.co/bzHZI2IYtF

zoinks

The phx anti luka propaganda was really bizarre before the draft

Doncic will enjoy beating on the Suns for a long time. No prospect got trashed worse than Luka did in Phoenix before the draft. They wanted Ayton so bad they were making up lies. Check out the reaction on their radio station right after they got 1st pick. pic.twitter.com/jxf6H6tKCw

woww wtf!

He's already exponentially better than their "established, veteran" star lol

Obviously it’s amazing how he draws fouls but Luka’s finishing is pretty unreal. It seems like if he doesn’t get blocked he doesn’t miss

Lmao why #Rondo checking out Luka #lakers 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/qT5fS1GvmT

he's shooting 63% from 2. considering he has 4 dunks that has to be pretty unheard of. maybe jokic in a good season is similar

http://bkref.com/tiny/ANTnv

this list of non-centers who shot 60% from 2 is not long. and most of these guys dunk a lot

Have only watched 1 game of his but is Oscar Robertson a good comparison for Luka?

It is developing into a good comparison, but it hasn't arrived there, yet. Not enough games under luka's belt.
