Luka fans playing better transition defense than Luka himself

Dudes were posting one quarter stats but now it’s cherry picking

Lol a sample size of 3 quarters where he chucked 15 shots is cherry picking?

They made the first quarter post. Talked all that shit, then they blew a 25 point lead and lost in a blowout

I don’t think you know what cherry picked stats actually means. The game is won over four quarters. Luka played like an MVP for exactly one out of four corners.

Well to be fair, this is a “Luka kills in the first quarter when he’s fresh but then gets tired and slows down as the game goes on because he’s never in shape” stat.

1st quarter Luka might be the greatest player of all time. Feels like 10 times a season he starts off making 8 or 9 of his first 10 shots

This isn’t cherry picking. Learn what words mean before using them

How is being ass the second half and losing cherry picking

is this really cherry picking? Luka is kinda known for blowing his load early

I mean, there’s a point to this. What is exactly cherry picking here?

How? Yall just love to say shit

I mean it’s just to show that outside of the 1st quarter, he was not playing the best. It’s easy to start off hot in a game but his conditioning is poor for a professional athlete so he runs out of steam plus the Lakers blew a 25-point lead and ended up being blown out themselves

yeah this is next level hating. Luka showed up the rest of his team didn’t, go next. it’s that simple.

I also don’t know what “fully healthy Lakers” means when our starting forward was out, plus two additional players

To defend Luka they still his won his minutes by 9 over the course of the full game. This is 95% on the lakers bench who got completely destroyed in the minutes he sat

Including this post I count 8 different stat line threads in the past 30 minutes. This one just happens to be a per 3 quarters statline

Luka stans were doing victory laps after his 1st quarter against a 6th gamer rookie so it’s only fair to match the energy

Suddenly its hate when you post cherry picked stats but when the laker boys been bombarding 1st quarter stats its appreciating greatness lol

Lebron was a really awesome fit when they were gelling after the all star break. I think it took some time but they were absolutely steam rolling teams before Luka got hurt

Solo Bron lineups had a pretty insane net rating considering how bad the depth was last season, even at his old age he can maximize subpar players

Disagree on the Bron point. At least as a trio the 3 of them were elite with a +8 net rating last year, and that’s was after they were pretty bad to start the year

The duo of just them was clunky simply because Luka dominates the fuk out of the ball and LeBron doesn’t like to play that specific way

He’ll always get specific guys going, Luka I don’t feel like he does this.. Luka will look for his shot, or throw a pass to a shot he expects someone to make or a lob. He’s not throwing it in the post to a big and staying out of the way

Lineup data showed no such thing. They were a great fit

Bro got traded to the 2022 Mavs

Peoples brains have been disabled when it comes to Luka for years now. Not gonna get much objective talk around him in losses anymore

The defense comments might be the weirdest ones. He didn’t even play poorly on defense today. Feels like people seem to be watching different games when it comes to Luka.

Even better! Luka’s still great, the lakers just suck anyway

Would Luka finally win a title if games were only one quarter?

Well that’s cause he started off insanely hot and was a +26 in like 15 min of play, he was a - 17 from midway in the 2nd quarter till the end of the game

This happens evey game though?

If you want to be an MVP candidate or a top ³⁄₅ player ITW or whatever Luka stans have him at you need to be good enough to solve your teams problems.

Especially when Reaves is handing the ball over all game. If Reaves don’t got it going teams can just focus 100% on Luka. Nobody else is a threat to do anything.

The best player in the league is still SGA.

“Whole team beside Luka bles their load the whole game”

“Don’t poke the bear, he’ll put you in a world of hurt 😈 (for one quarter)”

Well it’s good the dubs were home. Luka woulda shot 25 free throws in LA

Lakers fans take the bait every time so why wouldn’t you?

He was +9 on the game. Their bench is garbage. Warriors fans can’t possibly take credit for this lol.

he still bitched Yaxel Lendenbitch

Yax sucked today cuz he used all his powers to get in luka’s head. Genius
