    So, 1/4 Serbian, 3/4s Slovanian. Like Deniro with his Irish and EYEtalian mix.

    Yea, I fixed edited that to Slovenian. I often make that mistake. When I was growing up it was all "Yugoslavia." They're all "Slavic."

    Hookah Doncic, if you're reading this, I apologize for the error. Now drop some weight, ya fatazz.

    Yes, when I was growing up it was all one country. “Yugoslavia” actually means South Slav Land. The word “jug,” pronouced “yug,” means “south”.

    ^
    Bosnian muslims, who call themselves “Bosniaks” (Jusuf Nurkic, for example), are also south Slavs and aside from their religion, there is no difference between them, Croats and Serbs. They make around 50% of the population in Bosnia.

    Bojan Bogdanovic and Ivica Zubac are also from Bosnia, originally.

    I know a fair amount about different cultures and peoples around the world, but I have to admit I am usually confused about that whole region, and keeping straight who is who.

    I'd be happy to explain, if you have any questions. It's a fascinating mix of cultures, religions etc. but ultimately the vast majority of people living there are south Slavs who have very similar roots. Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian are practically three variants of the same language, while Slovenian and Macedonian are different. There is, of course, also Montenegro (Nikola Vucevic is Montenegrin) and their language also belongs to the Serbo-Croatian variant.

    It usually goes like this:

    Probable
    Questionable
    Doubtful

    without counting "available" and "out," obviously. So, there is a solid chance he'll actually play. We'll see very soon.

    I think he is still battling health issues and does not want to overdo attacking the basket and risk reaggravating that injury. It is going to take longer.

    I would not be concerned at all. As a matter how of fact I am beyond excited. We are able to see the amazing ability of Luka, and we see how incredible this guy is as a floor general. Luka is the only guy that I’ve seen in a Lebron team where you loose nothing when he is insinuates the offense. I love it. And finally someone who can make the game easier for Lebron! He gets doubled just as much as Bron and Bron knows how to play off that. But at the same time, he’s been sucking by Luka standards, yet we are stulll controlling games. And I mean pretty much complete control…while he’s been sucking by Luka standards. Luka is a beast that will find his game and when he does, watch out for the title wave of dominance that comes from this treat once he does

    So he’s a Slobian.

    this is why he’s a fat slob. Makes sense.

    he looks noticeably thinner, they must have gotten him on Ozempic as soon as he landed in LA.

    Off game shooting wise (outside of the 8 point run in the 4th), didn't fill the rest of the stat sheet. Back to back nights. STILL put up 31. We're spoiled

    He started to find his game in the 2nd half, started driving to score rather than pass, hit 2 big splash threes, looked like the Luka we know. Yeah, he’s still struggling with the shot, but when he finds it, oh boy we’ll be rolling.
