Gotta add in “dude’s fat” in there too

B-but what about defense (where he’s actually not bad at all)

Got dropped by Curry and he complains too much so everything’s void, sorry I don’t make the rules

Ill never forget the year he did two horse shots, the one against brooklyn in Dallas to start the season and the one over the rockets with an underhand. Mofo was just out there having fun. The reaction from the rockets bench and commentators was hilarious. “No, no, no. He’s gotta go. He’s gotta go! Its like a game of horse out there for him” Edit: Grammar.

He literally starts off every year insane. I mean this is probably his best start but still. He even started off last year insane he just got injured. Don’t know why people are surprised at this every time. He just needs to sustain or not get injured

Nah, he actually didn’t mind. Austin helped them gel well together, last year. I watched every single lakers game last year, and they were both injured for a lot of the season at different times. They didn’t really even get to play a lot together until the end of the season.

There’s a reason why Reddit hive mind hates Luka but all NBA players respect the hell out of him. Best clip is Club520 and Wes Matthew’s - “That motherfucker cold”

Flagg is basically the best plug and play archetype player ever.

So yeah the vision is there, in a year or two Flagg will be amazing

But Luka atm is transcendental, mf is playing the best offense since Harden and Wilt, with better efficiency and actual good defense

Flagg has age and low cap hit going for him

If it’s not it should be

Have you been sleeping under a rock, the Thunder are missing 14 players. They’re barely a play-in team.

putrid for all other nba players but luka been taking those since like year 3

There was a stat a couple of years ago that showed Luka’s efficiency on catch and shoot 3s was worse than off the dribble

There’s this other guy that once wore the purple and gold that critics said the same thing about.

It might be less weight making him less tired at the end of the game

Yeah I agree completely. I’d argue that the numbers he’s putting up are in part because the team fits around him well. The spacing and scrambling defenses are helping him make it look so easy

He was walking super gingerly at the end of the game.

Wasn’t horrible this game. Almost a 30 ball. But still going on with the sloppy dribbling and meatball sub passes. He needs to switch up that crossover it gets caught every time.

Had a good comeback performance this game. He looked really bad leading the bench as the primary ballhandler when Luka was sitting. Still having problems with double teams and physical defenders.

We just need to recognize that Reaves is at his best as a decisive slashing scorer and not a mini-Luka.

Had a little slump the past few games but had a great performance tonight.

Good bounce back today, but last 3 games he’s been terrible. Scouting report got his handles locked

He had 27 and Kessler had 15.. the bench needs some serious work

Started good first few games, was dog shit next few but did good today.

No he’s been killing it too. Luka is understandably gassed because they just played back to back games.

Too many TOs, but shooting has been good

Nope, he is performing alright but a lot of turnovers

He is pretty efficient getting 20 some a game but turnovers have been a little bit of an issue

Yes and no, look at his actual stats he’s been looking fine. Watch the game, he leaks points every minute he’s on. TOs, clumsy handles, not taking care of the ball properly.

He’s got good enough scoring chops that he’s still a net positive but Luka still needs to play 36mins or more a night to hold a win down

Played a great game today but had a few stinkers before that.

No not really. He’s had two bad games but even with them he’s averaging like 24 and 5 on 50 40 90

Yeah he’s ⁶⁄₁₀ at best right now

He hasn’t looked great but I’m not too worried. But his ball handling has been suspect more than anything.

Nope. 23+ PPG.

Although in the previous game he was 18 pts. It’s not like they asked them both to work hard on defense, either.

his old problems are coming out… getting ahead of a play, strength issues, can’t control feet. but not gonna say he’s under performing

Damage to the morale of the team after that kind of loss is huge. It can kill team’s confidence for months.

Yeah, idk man. I think Luka was robbed in 2024, but SGA was having an insane season last year, too. That’s a bit tighter for me. I will say, Luka’s play at the end of the season (through March and April) made it even tougher, but I have to give SGA props where it’s due lmao. I’m trying not to waste his career hating him, like I did for half of LeBron’s.

They are too good not to enjoy watching.
