Every Jokic/Nuggets thread too it’s wild

Thunder fans are seeking validation in every Luka/Jokic thread. You’d think an MVP, Championship and FMVP would be enough to validate it but still out here trying to prove that their guy is the best lol

they don’t have a dynasty yet

Those the type of people that’d unironically upvote comments saying SGA got hate cuz he black

They also can’t stand whenever anyone calls out the bullshit foulbaiting SGA pulls at all. Make a single comment about it and they’ll spam scoring highlights as if that changes the fact he’s still a serial flopper.

When it’s the same users and you start to recognize that it’s not in response to anything. I’ll count next time SGA has a good but not great game in a win and we’ll see

It’s crazy how nice and peaceful Nuggets/76ers fans were to each other during the Embiid/Jokic years. And how everyone has been so nice and kind to the Thunder during their playoff threads, no hate whatsoever.

But man, those Thunder fans have really turned the MVP debate toxic for the first time this year!

None of this holds a candle to Jokic vs embiid/SGA lmao

Yeah people in this sub will gaslight you into thinking SGA/Thunder fans are the only insecure fanbase shitting on other players. 

Being a laker fan isn’t as fun as it used to be. Now you have so many Luka agenda pushers that are laker fans second. They care more about Luka winning mvp than Luka improving his defense

It’s 100% retaliation, Jokic & Luka fans have been going hard at SGA for a couple seasons now during his rise (FTA, flopper, fake ring only won cause of injuries) yet want to act all pikachu surprised face when SGA fans suddenly turn up in their threads returning the favour…

12 hour flight plus all the time spent hanging out with a brand new baby lol.

Tbf he flying way nicer than us plebs lol

Jet lag after coming back is insane. Takes me 2 weeks to get right

12 hour flight from LA to Philly?

That’s a five hour flight.

Is this his first triple double of the season? It seems really late, doesn’t it?

Jet lag off the PJ is different

Soooo what are you trying to say ? That his big number is actually bad ?

“Sloppy as hell” with a team high plus-minus (+12 in a 5 points win btw) with his standard usage (so it’s not like he benefited from other players making plays, he actually created those advantages): the standards Luka is held to are absolutely bonkers

Stats are not misleading, people just still don’t understand +/- in 2025

Yeah VJ probably could be more consistent and efficient but he is legit. Some of those drives reminded me of AI.

How was Maxey? I only caught the highlights and was surprised he didn’t shoot more 3s. Dude was looking like Steph in the highlights with how he was running around and the quick release

Really you need to watch more closely of outside of the ball. He was putting dimes out there easily.

So what the box score doesn’t show is although Luka was jet lagged and his shot was off, he still had the most gravity of any player by far and got Bron more open looks.

Also a ton of rebounds.

The +/- is because the bench folded the minute Luka went out in the 1st half then they had to make up the deficit

You need this variability. You cannot drive all the time without the opponent throwing multiple defenders on you. And Luka surely is not Giannis and definitely not prime LeBron athletic

His threes are kinda what open his game up like Harden who spam step backs and the threat of that is valuable but still some of those and some other offensive plays he makes need to be cut down

Don’t get me wrong he is elite and just an entire heliocentric offense but he has Reaves and LeBron, he needs to stop those he is not in Dallas anymore

He needs the variety. It’s part of making opponents guessing. Plus it’s a lot more tiring trying to get by especially fast defenders who he needs to juke/ decel

Those threes are why he gets doubled on the perimeter and assisted LeBron on 3 of those late 4th quarter field goals. They should use LeBron as the screen setter more often late in games like they did tonight.

you must take the good w the bad w luka. because the good far outweighs the bad. but the bad is definitely there. lol

You need to understand that 37% 3pt step back it’s as efficient as a 55% mid shoot like an automatic player like Durant get

Sure bro but its a weird headline when Luka was the one doing some mistakes in the 4th and LeBron scoring like the last 8 or 10 points of the game (besides Lukas 2 FTs at the end). Was just wonderin.

On dogshit efficiency along with 5 turnovers

LeBron’s production is not dependent on Luka’s playmaking, as we’ve seen for 23 years.

That being said, two legends can co-exist and Luka was still good today

Mf named a coach as a response 😂😂😂😂😂

Bron was efficient throughout. Bron lifted them past in the 4th quarter. 11 straight. You cant sit there and say with a straight face that Luka ball hogging while Bron was red hot didnt almost lose them the game. Missed shots, threw the ball out of bounds, all in the last 2 minutes. Hell, if Bron wasnt almost perfect in the clutch, Lakers lose big time.

He shot 37.5%. Do people really not understand how bad that is?

11 assists, highest plus minus, and drawing doubles on lot of the plays that Lebron then hit shots on.

Yep, people ignore the fact that rebounds and assists are key factors.

I’m bored on my commute

I couldn’t care less about MVP, I’m just petty
