Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Machine

more of an ick than an ic

 

lol, i know this is a joke, but audiosway is definitely who he says he is. i've lurked on mavs boards for a long time, and i recognize him and am glad to see him here.

 

Genius idea. Take a well known username from a different forum and pretend to be a new user on your own forum after a trade from said team.

 

what in the world? lol

 

Thanks. Glad to be here.

 

In the wedding dress... maybe.

I still hate Rambis for botching that (that's before the hatred for the assistant GM/Rambii management s***show). Dennis had no respect for him, nor should he have. If we could've just stretched that relationship a bit longer, Phil was on the way and Rodman would've been an intricate piece to at least one of our championships. He was still pulling ridiculous rebounds in LA and his shorter stint in Dallas.

 

Have you found the live chat Game Time link in the top tool bar with the 3 horizontal bars to click just to the right of “Forums” on the upper left …. if you like that in real time. It’s hot and cold “love >> severe hate” swings at our players play to play literally …. be prepared. Probably like every other team.

 

OK AD + Max + 4 FRP is delusional even for Luka.

 

He gets his first 10 so effortlessly in the first quarter each night. You blink and he's there.






Does anyone abuse opposing centers to the degree Luka does. He just lights up like a kid on Christmas morning.

 

I’m not the best person to tell it, but it’s a WILD story that dates all the way back to this site’s predecessor, Club Lakers.

 

He is a bad bad man. An absolute animal. Remain a Laker for life please. You can just see Laker lore/legend/GOAT/HoFer written all over Luka, and he seems to relish in the spotlight. MOAR

 

And he is really a much much better AND willing defender than is given credit for

 

Yeah, it's incredible how much he and Reaves are the same player in that regard too.

 

Do they have a 3rd in them for Saturday?

 

Luka as a defender has been underrated just like Austin. Granted JJ makes everyone better on defense. Pretty cool we got our coach of the future and superstar of the future in one season. I love grind out wins, really builds confidence for the team. We know we can dig in and come back.

 

I’ve seen some fans act like Luka is going crazy and I understand everyone is excited as they should be, but I’ve been fortunate living in Texas I’ve seen alot of Luka’s games throughout his career even before he became a Laker.

He’s not doing anything that he hasn’t done his entire career. Luka is the same guy that took the heart of the Phoenix Suns when they were the clear cut favorite in the 2021-2022 season and arguably started their downfall.

Luka has had so many epic playoff moments that game winner against the Clippers his second season in the league, leading Dallas to the Finals last year, and during that run took down OKC when they were the #1 seed a season ago.

He’s been really good defensively and is making all those people who claimed he was a liability look foolish. Luka is never going to be a lock down defender, but when he’s engaged he can hold his own in one on one coverage and is great at playing passing lanes.

 

So you’re saying he’s about to be in another stratosphere… say less.

I’m a card collector, been my whole life, Pokemon/sports, but really started picking up around 2014, when I think Jordan Clarkson’s rookie year was. I even went to Frank and Son (old location), and met J Clark for signatures (since he’s Filipino). I then went pretty overboard with my sports card collecting over the years, including to this day.

All this to say, through card collecting (including Luka rookie cards (RCs)), and playing fantasy basketball for the last 10 years or so, playing basketball my whole life and just following the NBA pretty closely my whole life, I know what you mean by this being the norm for him due to how much I watch basketball. I had some really expensive Luka RCs I let go too early (which I rebought immediately at 100x the price the moment I heard he was traded to the Lakers).

It really is such an exciting time to be a Laker fan. To be able to have an absolute superstar like this in their prime for the Lakers is just something else… The buzz is just palpable everywhere. I cannot wait to watch more youtube highlights, and interviews tonight!!

LUKA DONCIC IS A LOS ANGELES LAKER! This will never get old to me.

Can we just extend him now? LOL
