I hate this response. Sure it's a long season, but does that mean you can just mail it in and play like absolute ass? Take that kind of mindset into every game and you are missing the playoffs.

I'm so so soooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed in Luka tonight.

I think we are beyond the potential expectation of Luka eventually acting like a seasoned pro night in night out. Everyone of Luka's teammates says Luka acts like a little kid all the time. I have a feeling it's not him "acting" his age, and more it's just straight up him. Maybe by his late 20's the stuff changes, but I get the feeling his overall attitude to the game is kinda kid like, and that includes both the positives that come from that but also the negatives. And this is the most extreme example of the negative.

I think it's potentially gonna be a Draymond like situation, where you either accept the cons that come with him or you don't accept him at all. Hope I'm wrong. Either way, thankfully these types of outings, despite being more common than we would like aren't that common, especially when the team is doing well.
