    It’s weird yeah, since that time he hasn’t been playing with that same confidence and fun he usually does. He’s seemed elsewhere at times mentally, a bit disconnected, if it’s possible to tell that on the court I guess. At least he finally seems to be building some chemistry with LeBron now, they had seemed for a long time like they never even speak or something.

    Some players can’t perform when they lose their “go to” part of their game.

    Something is up with Luka, yet he keeps finding ways to drop 30+ point games.

    dude is a baller

    I know Wilt played for us at the end of his career, but that’s still pretty crazy

    He is. The All-Star break will be good for him.

    Luka and Lebron spammed pick and roll for much of the 4th quarter. Keep doing that until teams adjust.

    Imagine this dude healthy again with a healthy Austin.
    We saw it throughout the first part of the season and it was unbelievable what they were doing.
    If he feels like he needs to sit, he will sit. He knows how much he can take better than anyone else.
    Let’s hope Austin can come back a little sooner than expected so Luka can rest a bit. That being said, I fear what this team would look like with only LeBron out there representing our “big three.”

    Well, he just hurt his neck, but seems to be back... still holding his neck. That was a hard charge he took there.

    Edit: came back, still scored 30.

    I'm glad he and Bron don't hate each other anymore like the narrative was pushing.





    Why would you as a fan engage with Luka? You know he lives for that more than anyone else in the league

    Good ol Joel Myers
    He and Stu used to bicker quite a bit. He was great on the radio with Mychal though.

    Equally impressive (Luka) and pathetic (everyone else)

    I’ve never hesitated to call out stars when it’s warranted, whether it was Luka or Kobe going full bulldog mode, or LeBron pounding the air out of the ball. But this isn’t one of those games. The guy genuinely tried, put up a triple-double, and made an effort to get everyone involved. The problem is that almost no one stepped up, outside of LaRavia and maybe Jax in short stretches. For most of the roster, the effort was pretty pathetic. Ironically, this is exactly the kind of game where Rui would actually be useful, given the green light to just let it fly and provide some scoring punch.

    Luka needs a rest or he's going to be sidelined soon.
