Luka Doncic Discussion: Lean Mean Slovenian Scoring Machine

Scoring 60 on a few hours of sleep is just crazy.

MVP

 

Lakers will have to get the best record in the West for Luka to win MVP . It'll never happen otherwise

 

Don't you mean the Generals?

 

And the mvp goes to Luka Doncic

 

lol

 

Kia MVP Ladder: Dončić jumps to No. 2
Kia MVP Ladder: Scoring barrage helps Luka Dončić move to No. 2
Luka Dončić's recent barrage has him rising the ranks as the Kia MVP chase rounds into its final month.

 

he sparks some of the absolute dumbest s*** i've ever heard from the casual media folks.

 

Nico’s friends have tried hard but there’s no saving him from that trade.

 

JJ's current assessment of Luka's defense:

"Redick made it clear that Dončić’s defense has taken a noticeable step forward. “Overall, he’s been a good defender for us,” Redick said.

That statement alone signals a change in perception, but Redick supported it with specifics. He noted that when Dončić is switched onto the ball, he is allowing under 0.9 points per possession. That figure places him among the more effective perimeter defenders on the team.

“When he gets switched on to the ball – I don’t know what the updated numbers are after the last three games – it’s been under 0.9 [points allowed per possession]. It’s been one of the best, if not the best of all our perimeter guys,” Redick added.

The numbers back up the claim. Dončić is allowing around 0.84 points per possession in isolation, while also ranking in the top 10 in steals. He sits in the 95th percentile in shots contested and the 87th percentile in rim contests, reflecting increased activity and engagement.

Reduce also emphasized effort and awareness as key factors.

“He’s been more active with rotations and being physical with our switching groups. With him, it’s to be solid, engaged, do our rules, and he’s smart and can execute that at a high level. When he’s fully on defensively, he can guard the basketball. We’ve seen him do it against everybody in this league. We trust him.”

 

We’ve been looking for 3&D help, when we had 3&D at home this whole time.

 

Our fans have got to really sell it when Luka comes back to Crypto. There needs to be loud, relentless chants of MVP every time he’s at the free throw line. Force Adam Silver”s hand.

 

That was a nickname that Mark Followil (The Mavs TV play by play guy) gave him. That's why they are using it.

 

That's why I'm here. As a former Mavs fan Nico did me wrong. I'm Lakers for life now.

Luka is just getting into his prime. We are about to witness a dynasty of greatness.

 

He did us wrong too. Took Max Christie instead of taking Knecht...

 

Having Christie instead of Knecht would help, especially having a POA defender. Can't have everything though.

 

I love that this historic scoring run has made people rethink the MVP but like the Kobe and Nash situation, these media dolts will come up with garbage unheard matrix to determine that a Laker should not be MVP.

 

interesting, it was some girl who angered and woke up Luka

classic “don’t poke the beast” moment. Two fingers, some trash talk, and suddenly Luka’s mood goes from chill to absolute chaos mode ‍. Those little sparks are all it takes to wake the fire in him—he doesn’t just play, he responds.
