    Luka is the perfect guy for Showtime. He will become a legend out here. I have no plans on going anywhere now. I'm done with the Mavs. I watch the Warriors sometimes just because I live in the north Bay. But, I'm not invested there.

    He's still getting his legs.

    Looked like he had more energy last game or maybe the Knicks just put more pressure on Luka to move more. He was clutching the shorts a lot but the nice thing about LeDoncic is each one can take possessions off lol

    So, I'll give you the guys the low down on Luka and Doe Doe. Doe Doe is a beast. He is a dog on defense. He will talk a lot on defense and he can hit 3s all day. I really missed Doe Doe when the Mavs traded him. (Dorian Finney Smith)

    Luka complains about fouls...a lot. Luka does not do much in the way of conditioning. I'm hoping that LeBron can really help with that. I want to see Luka go scorched earth on the NBA. Anytime he plays the Mavs I want to see him burn them to the ground.

    Luka will do things on the court sometimes that will have you shaking your head. He's better on defense than the talking heads will ever admit. He will play through injuries. he is a dog to the enth degree. Think Jordan or Kobe. He HATES to lose. He is the type of player that will roast your team just because he can. He amplifies things in the playoffs. (Takes it to another level) He will win us titles.

    Oh and he will shoot and mostly hit some crazy ridiculous 3 pointers from the logo. If we are late in the game Luka wants the ball and it will go in.

    I'll tell you now though, he is not a good free throw shooter. Drives me crazy.

    He is still getting his legs under him. I'm watching the game right now. He's starting to round into form now. Looking good.

    I’d like to hear positive confirmation from others that “Roo” started on Club Lakers. Maybe you’re right but ALL the posting I was aware of him was here, NOT there and he posted a lot here. Would have been the same there and I just don’t recall HIM on that forum. Of course Bonk showed up here too “after”. Doc Brown. one of the old timers from CL and a couple others commenting in that thread all have their LB nomenclature on as they came over here for a period before drifting off.

    That 3 over KAT was nuts, that’s a Kobe shot, Luka just has “it”, he’s that guy. That’s why the Mavs trading him is insane. Even if they didn’t like his conditioning, even if they didn’t like his style of play, if they didn’t want to pay him a huge contract, you just don’t trade a 26 year old star or that caliber. And if for some reason you do, like you’re convinced you have to, it’s gotta be for a younger star and multiple picks. I love AD, but I can’t imagine his body has many years left at a top level, you’ve got to get more of a future out of trading away your future with Luka.

    Everyone might be calling him Luka McFatty, but he’s our Fatty.

    what are you talking about LT? I literally said in that thread that I talked to him when we moved here and asked if he'd move too.

    he said he had real life issues and when he "died" i assumed he was ill.

    What a win last night. Still giddy. My Luka jersey came in two days ago, and it’s the most beautiful thing.

    Seems like all sites are sold out of most colors/sizes for adults. Still need to buy the purple and white one.

    MOAR Luka!! Luka is the perfect superstar to lead this team. So many good things happen when he’s on the floor.

    i commented on this when we got him and mentioned it in the game debrief, but yeah, the idea that he's a bad defender is just contrary to fact, imo. no, he's not going to lock down on the opposing star or anything, but trying to pick on him is a fool's errand, imo.

    maybe if you have an ultra quick pg, you look for that matchup, but everyone else would be wise to just treat him like any other wing, imo.
