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.

some info on what how the mavs are playing these days https://www.theringer.com/nba/2019/12/3/20992745/luka-doncic-dallas-mavericks-rick-carlisle

33/18/5 in 28 minutes tonight

Dirk never had a run like this iirc

feel like people get that luka scores a lot but if you take into account the fact that he doesn’t play a lot of minutes and he plays pretty slow, his current season is actually 8th all time in points per possession...
http://bkref.com/tiny/vp7Uo

his current season is only a couple of months old, but it's true his production has been phenomenal

hes doing utterly insane things but also were living in the post truth era of nba stats

I don’t believe the stats

its the end of history (stats)

lies damn lies and nba stats

plus minus is good now

russ really ruined stats. he had a triple double again last night but he was horrible in all aspects of the game.

if he keeps it up he might follow Carmelo as player of the week

haha

Westbrook now has the worst TS% of his career. This experiment not working

Luka had a Bourbon Street hangover game but his bench bailed him out.

even if it was not his best game there was a great dynamic with the dallas crowd where the bench got them back into the game and there was a noticeable anticipation for luka to come in as the hammer.

The Mavs have good vibes

wish they would've held off on the super goofy "city" rebranding till a year when they sucked

i was wrong about a lot of teams this year but at least i knew this one was good

26-9-6 on 15 shots in 26 minutes tonight

oops flipped boards and assists there, which is even more impressive

aw lil luka

Prayers up for luka, really hope he only misses a few games and not like 4-6 weeks.

31/12/13 after three quarters

Sorry, that was 15 assists.

I know it sounds like I’m a luka stan or something but he really does get fouled a ton and doesn’t get the call for whatever reason. Very often he beats someone off the dribble and they just slap his chest. I’d hate so see him start flopping on it.
