To quote MacMahon on Luka:
"Luka is very good at admitting it, but not very good at addressing it."

Quote:Doncic's weight and conditioning were a frequent subject on the TNT broadcast of the Mavs' 102-99 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday night. Analyst Reggie Miller, a Hall of Fame shooting guard, criticized Doncic, saying he was "plodding up and down the court" and "has got to trim down."

At the same time Reggie Miller was super impressed by Luka able to bully everyone with that extra weight. Nobody could match his size and strength in the paint, and that gave us the real advantage and why we were upfront in this game. The only thing that could help was doubling and hoping our players would miss the shots outside - which they did! It is a positive in many instances that he has extra weight. Luka played a fantastic game. He was the best player on that court next to Durant and its not even close. Lets give him credit here and identify the real reasons for why the team is not winning. This game was over, if not for the terrible shooting on all those open looks, and great positions under the paint that were not coverted. And you can point on so many games this season in the same way.

Josh Green is a top 5 Mavs player...

As far as talking about all the reasons the team isn't winning, there are lots of threads that discuss the roster, the coaching, the performance of the other players. Make sure to check those out too!

I know, I know, I know, Skip Bayless and all but Shannon is a massive Luka fan.

BEST LINES: "You cannot exercise a bad diet." "The worst thing you can have is someone having success while doing something bad." (because it reinforces bad habits that will later come to bite you) "He is going to have nagging injuries because of the extra weight." (ALREADY HAPPENING)

Yet another superstar all around performance. When the team is shooting the open looks at least at a mediocre level, as the 36% from 3pt this game, the Mavs will win many of the games. He showed leadership on both ends and again set up his teammates in position to win, and the team executed and took advantage. If the team actually starts shooting well closer to the 40%, this team will win most of the games.

On more than one occasion I saw Luka tell Moses how to set a better screen, gave advice on better positioning on the defensive end, and applauded him when he hustled. LOVE that. Great stuff from Luka.

Just a funny thing happened to me today, and I thought I would share it with you.
I was at my grandmas in the afternoon helping to chop some wood. Sports news comes up, they talk about Memphis game and my grandma goes:"Look at him, hes fat as a pig!" "Who?" Says I, "Dončič!", goes my grandma. Shes 88 years old mind you. So its not only USA, even Slovenian grandmas think Luka is fat. True story. |
