Luka never gonna win a championship man. And the media just continues to enable his style of play blaming teammates. I don't care who your supporting cast is, if they're just spotting up waiting on a pass all game, they will never play up to their talent level
Yup that’s how the Mavs went on the 12-0 run. With Luka on the bench and ball movement

It’s clear that if you give Luka a second star and a competent center they are a contender
If you subbed Luka in for the first or second best player on any of the other 7 remaining playoff teams, they’d be title favorites

Instead we have to watch him struggle carry while Jalen Brunson picks up fouls like refrigerator magnets

What’s the talent level you expect Jalen Brunson with 2 fouls, DFS with 3 fouls, and guys like Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber, Reggie Bullock, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Davis Bertans to play up to?

I’m curious

Is that even a 30 win team?

Bro I'm not a Luka hater AT ALL I thoroughly enjoy watching him play, but I don't care who u pair with him their talent will never shine to it's potential playing in that black hole of a system.
And I'm not blaming coaches, cuz he had Ric Carlisle (an all timer), this just the type of player he his. Anybody he ever plays with is just gonna be a satellite in orbit around planet Luka

Every single team in the league it's the same: you need a 15+ point lead vs the Suns going into the last quarter.

They're simply too consistent and execute in clutch time while the other teams get erratic and make mistakes.

In Real Madrid he played off ball all the time when they had other star players. Luka plays that way out of necessity than because it’s his style

Every title since 2011 has been won with multiple All Stars/All NBA on the winning team, but Luka should be doing more with Jalen Brunson in foul trouble and THJ on IR

Never change, Coli
