[Highlight] Dunn shoves the ball in Luka’s chest to start an altercation
Just what we needed, another break from the action.
NBA really needs to take a hard look at their product. Just constant reviews and stoppages and it makes it unwatchable sometimes.
Plus this 11pm ET start time is absolutely brutal and I hope it’s gone after this year.
The 11 start time can’t really be changed due to NBC’s affiliates
I’m in PHX and no game. Peacock only. This TV deal blows.
I jumped over to start watching the game and saw there isn’t even the option to start from the beginning. Who the fuck approved this shit?
Obviously a man way smarter than you bc he knows what a value his offering is. Not his fault you stupid customers know exactly what you want and our ever worsening offer doesn’t include any of that. Stupid customers always ruining shit bc they’re too lazy to buy me my 14th yacht.
Yep it’s the old Leno/Conan thing. Most profitable for affiliates is the 10-1030 news program. They want high ratings entering and don’t want to be preempted.
Plus this 11pm ET start time is absolutely brutal
There are 2pm PT start times which are equally impossible for regular people to watch. Like Boston’s game tomorrow. Quite annoying how people only complain about late start times but not early ones.
Yeah idrc if east coasters can’t watch a game between 2 LA teams, I can’t watch any that start before 5 PM PST and I’m not bitching
I dont even get home from work until 6pm PST. Most of the games are over or as good as over before I can watch anything. But God forbid East coasters have to miss the end of a few games a week lol.
Yeah exactly. 8 PM also means I can go to games after work without stress too
well said
Serious it’s so much harder to digest comparing to something like Olympics basketball. How can I get invested into the game when your taking me out of it every 5min?
But judging from Adam silver saying that it’s just a highlights league and people can just watch highlights, I’m not confident that’s high on their list.
International ball ref replays are always super quick and look correct. Crazy the nba can’t manage it.
NBA refs are divas. The longer the review the more attention is on them.
Yup,I think I prefer the 15 min full highlight recaps more, I just wish I could see the miss and the makes
Thats less of a fault of the NBA and more of a reality of sports league that covers 4 different time zones. They could have all the games start earlier but that would just fuck over West Coast fans even more.
The problem was these refs couldn’t get their shit together and kept reviewing obvious calls
What do you want the NBA to change about how this particular incident was handled?
Every break in play is a revenue stream, this is what Adam Silver and all the owners want, it’s not changing anytime soon
I’m in Vegas rn and 9pm start is already crazy
Past 1:30 am on the east coast
I’m sorry you guys have to deal with that. It’s 1042 and passed my bedtime.
It’s almost 8am here lol. I hate 5am laker games
9 am here woke up at 8 and was so surprised to see a game still going on lol
Yeah my nightshift ends at 6am and I always end up staying up till the end
I couldn’t find the highlights as I was waking up and I was confused… And then I saw that the match was still running, that’s insane lol
almost 2 pm here lol. Watching the game during my work’s break
1:41 here
You’ve been complaining all night about a bunch of other things, but this, I agree with. This is absurd!
The NBA is a highlight product
Czarface ref lowkey
I started watching some more hockey last year and I get that it’s a different sport, but seeing guys play for actual minutes without a stoppage ruined most NBA games for me.
OP was foaming so bad at the mouth for that karma that he couldn’t wait 10 seconds for a longer clip
Right, you can’t even see what happened in this clip. I don’t even know what the fuck we’re talking about here other than something happened and there was a scuffle
Edit: better thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1p70xmo/highlights_the_full_altercation_no_cuts_lakers_vs/
Exactly. How is this a highlight when the thing being highlighted isn’t even shown?
And people wonder why mods delete a bunch of highlights from randoms and keep the nba links
Puts in to perspective how slimy media outlets can be. But congrats OP on being the first to post!
It’s the very next clip below this on my feed lol.
I’m copying this for future karma whore posts.
Being a small ref in the middle of stuff like this must be intense lol. And you have to get in the middle of these guys to stop the fighting
It’s pretty rare that any real punches are thrown. These guys are a bunch of divas that wanna act tough for the cameras.
I doubt they’d all be divas if it wouldn’t cost them millions of dollars to beat someones ass
You want them to try a punch and lose their career?😂
If raping a woman doesn’t lose you your career, what makes you think punching a player does?
the malice
I think after that most players know that if it gets to real there will be real consequences.
The washington/tomjanovich one was an even more egregious example..
They wouldn’t lose their career. Ron Artest punched a fan and played for another decade.
This is 2025 lol not the early 2000s different times
He also got an 86 game suspension that cost him an estimated $5 million… so not exactly consequence free
He was able to escape the limelight by assuming a new identity tho. Little known fact, “Metta World Peace” is actually Ron Artest
Rape, domestic violence - none of these is good enough for NBA to destroy someone’s career, who tf cares about a punch
They care a lot more if it’s televised. It’s not the crime, it’s the visual.
Things off the screen are easy to forget for millions of viewers. I wish the league actually cares but they only care how much money they’d lose/make in these situations.
No, I’m just saying it’s not that dangerous to be in the middle of a scrum like this.
I’d love for them to punch so I get some serious paid time off lol
Ron Artest beat the snot out of a fan and kept playing
I mean, the refs know that fights are very rare and they know the players wouldn’t risk their careers by hitting an official.
Jeff Van Gundy
“He’s just mad I’m busting his ass.” - Luka
Looking at the numbers he ain’t lying, dude is one of Luka’s easiest matchups 😹
Dunn actually had a good night too, just not good enough.
Lmao I remember that from a couple years ago. That was so funny
Always got to protect 77 at all costs - PJ Washington - Jaxson Hayes
Loved that out of him
Perfectly done as well. Shift all the rage against him and drew an ejection.
Luka just aura farming with that smirk
Deadass
Reminder that this not the first time that Luka and Kris Dunn have gone at it
You got a video of the first one? Honestly Luka kept his cool here, Dunn is way more at fault
They linked it?
E: nvm, they edited it in, you probably commented before seeing that
There was an issue with the link originally but I fixed it before he asked, he probably had the thread open before the edit was made so it didn’t show up yet. Either way it’s all good
*Reminder this is not the first time Dunn crashed out due to Luka cooking his bitch ass
Luka lives in dunn’s head rent free. He may be the reason the clips would never win another game over LA this season. This shit fuels luka up
Luka can be as fueled up as he likes, Clippers beat him more times than not.
damn you’re cool
Yea, I know 😎
DJJ rushing back always gets me
How and why the fuck did Luka get a technical? For smiling and walking backward?
Those jerseys went so hard.
This one incident is gonna fuel Luka to go off against the Clippers for another 5 years.
First time was Morris in the Bubble in 2020.
Clippers crashing out
Generally I think that “this is their game 7” comments are extremely cringe
But it does definitely feel like the Clippers take Lakers matchups way more seriously lol
My favorite is the one from a few seasons ago where Kawhi came back from a long injury and played 48 minutes and then immediately got hurt after the game and was ruled out for like 20 games
Didn’t last season Norman Powell return from injury to play the Lakers then go back on the injury list?
Exactly. It’s only cringe if you don’t follow the Lakers/Clippers. It’s 100% clear the Clippers take this shit super seriously. The Lakers kind of do, more so lately, though usually it takes until the 2nd half for them to wake up to how seriously the Clippers are coming at them and meet their energy.
Thats what the Clippers are supposed to do though, they’re the little brother and the coaches and players know that, they probably hype themselves up with that bulletin board material and thats why they’ve had the Lakers number over recent years
Although the Lakers have started to beat them more the last couple years
He saved up his whole load for you guys
A few seasons back Kawhi played the most minutes in a game since the 2013 finals against us in a regular season game, they definitely take it too seriously.
This is why I expected the Clippers to compete tonight even though they’re ass this season. They wanted this
I’d say the same thing if my team kept getting spanked by the “little brother” lmao.
Ballmer buys everyone’s mom a house if they beat the Lakers
They do.
They do, and the worst part of this game is that despite the Clippers’ having a chip on their shoulder entering this game, is their defense is so ass that it looks like a layup line out there. They have fucking Harden being tasked as the POA defender against Luka.
Luka and Dunn always like this every game. Jaxson kind of escalated it but he had to lol
Shoving the ball is a tech and Hayes reacted with a tech of his own to defend his teammate. Attempting to then hit Hayes in the face is another tech. Refs got it perfectly right
Yeah I don’t have much faith in them, but the way they assessed this made sense and resolved it fairly I think
Literally the only call I agreed with the whole game
Dunn mad Luka always fries him 😹
7 wins in 8 games, 30/9/7 on 61% TS lmaooo free food for the fat god
Sorry, make that 8 wins in 9 😹
Hayes just dont want to get traded man.
Yeah, if he can be the enforcer of this mostly finesse Lakers team, Max and the new guy might seem less dangerous lol
Dunn didn’t even have to reach for that slap either.
Deserved technical
Luka been cooking bro for a while. He’s had enough 😂
Luka has that Harrison Ford smirk.
“I know.”
Bro really tried to get Luka kicked out and got himself kicked out instead
Dunn gotta get used to being in these positions, can’t be acting like a child cuz your asses are getting cooked
This bum was out of the league half his prime 😹 you’d think that’d teach him some humility but once a loser always a loser ig
I liked the part where they showed him shoving the ball into Lukas chest
It was all yellow -Coldplay
Kris done
lol hayes is safe, i thought he was gonna get ejected with that shove.
Dunn with a bitch move. Clippers really are the Padres of basketball
dunn must be the strongest man on the planet to launch luka across the court like that lmao
Luka thread and another OKC fan crying, what’s new
I don’t think this is crying, he is right, that was definitely one of the funniest flops I’ve seen. SGA face meme against the Wolves is up there too.
Nah seems pretty legit elbow to the back that causes Luka to stumble into his teammate and knowing it was dunn just adds fuel to the fire, he’s always been a sore loser
dog he threw himself on the floor. an elbow doesn’t do that. like, dunn can hit him but he’s not throwin a dude to the floor, if that was the case then luka would literally fly to the floor on every drive. let’s use some common sense
He literally gave him a sharp elbow to the back that thrusted him into LeBron, Also like I said Dunn is known for doing sly shit like that to Luka as he’s one of Luka’s BTA victims. Also you’re literally a clippers fan lmfaoooo so of course you’re bias
dog just compare their weights lol this isnt rocket science. like why are we just not calling flopping flopping
yeah lmao luka flopped there so hard
Justified. Don’t do non-basketball things and expect fair play 😹
Massive flop
He needs to stop flopping and launching himself like that, he could get himself or others hurt.
Can’t believe I agree with a Celtics fan.
The heavy step to stop momentum in an unplanned direction after being shoved from behind is more dangerous than just dealing with the momentum more slowly with a controlled fall. This is actually taught.
Except Luka has a history of exaggerating contact by flailing his body which is unnecessary and worst case scenario, cause injury.
Ok cool. So you’re speculating and/or lying about this one and making petty comments about old shit that three quarters of the league also does. Got it.
How is it speculation and/or lying when you watch the replay and see he clearly flops after minimal contact?
How is it a petty comment when it’s factual that Luka has a flopping history?
Aren’t you speculating and/or lying when you claim “three quarters of the league” flop excessively? Where can you back this up?
Does that also justify flopping?
Why does this sub never understand how easy it is to lose your balance when you’re shoved from behind?
Pretty sure what took him to the ground was getting shoved off balance into LeBron too, so it’s not like he just flopped.
Watch the replays
He got nudged slightly off balance then did a theatrical flop lmao
Well Dunn is bitchmade, kinda like some of your thunder players 👀
LETS ALL LAUGH AT KRIS DUNN LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Luka loves sonning the Clippers
Ejection for sure.
W RAGEBAIT
Hayes Slovenian application approved.
Bro averaging 7 pts a game raging 💀 what a bum. clips are ass anyway fucking frauds
What an entertaining game man😭
High scoring, Luka going ballistic, and a fight.
[deleted]
My favourite part is the tiny little push from Luka after it kicks off 😂
He’s a troll. My goat.
Night Night little Kris Dunn.
Luka was cooking the clippers tonight
What a desperately low iq Dunn omg
Dunn needlessly starting shit with a much more talented player? Wow, that’s so out of character…
Bron just stood there.. “im too old for this shit!”
At that point in this video does the action in the title of this post happen?
Clippers getting punked and had to be a bitch about it, what’s new
Bait Dunn on the ejection.
Lmao Dunn gone. Clown sequence from him.
Game’s back boys
NO MORE VIOLENCE
Dunn for the night
has there been scuffles in all 3 games tonight?
Spectrum SportsNet had a better angle of the altercation
LeImTooOldForThisShit
Never throw a punch in a war of words
Kriss just mad Luka was busting his ass AGAIN
good on Hayes for knowing his role on the team and protecting the main guy who can get him another contract lol
LeBron be like I’m too old for this shit
wow you’re really quick posting this. still seeing highlights
RIP to the people that didn’t get a chance to see the play live. This clip posted by OP shows you nothing.
At least Jaxon Hayes hitting men now
hayes thought dunn was his GF for a sec.
The main thing I noted from this is the clippers losing again😈😈😈 it’s time for them to do a fire sale because they don’t have their 1st
Just what we needed, a 15s clip posted immediately instead of one that has a replay
Jaxson Hayes thought Dunn was a girl so his hands went up
Kris Dunn is always getting cooked by Luka.
for anyone else wondering how luka ended up on the floor-
https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CFID=&CFPARAMS=&GameEventID=611&GameID=0022500059&Season=2025-26&flag=1&title=Zubac%204%27%20Driving%20Hook%20Shot%20(10%20PTS)%20(Dunn%203%20AST)
I’m west coast and this is bs. 8pm such a late time for a game to start the thing didn’t end till 1045 which is ridiculous.
How do you think I feel on the east coast when your games start at 10pm my time same with football at 8pm I loved it when I was on the west coast so you could have it worse
league going crazy
LeEnforcer
Luka has that slovenac look in the eye like.. Try me boi
DUNN IS DONE FOR THE NIGHT 💀
Bum ass clippers
Another Luka special flop
Luke and LeBron team bitchface always crying for fouls
How are the clippers a poverty team with the richest owner.
This ain’t MLB. Salary cap is real, and Bummer filled his team with uncs
Salary cap? What salary cap? Ballmer ain’t ever heard of that shit. Ask Kawhi.
The Clippers are such a garbage franchise. Truly, the shit trickles from the top.
Another Laker pushing someone from behind lol
Luka flopped to start an altercation. Coming from a Lakers fan
