100%.

Dirk never got tired like that. Luka loves to ball but when you play as much as he does but still look chubby/baby fat-ish, that means his diet is pure dee trash.

You gotta eat/drink like shyt to play that much basketball and not be either scrawny or lean/cut.

Needs to drop the extra body fat...load a little back on as muscle etc. He looks like he's stuck in molasses especially late game. Love watching him play but it's time for him to grow up. No more bytching to refs and showing up to training camp looking like a Cowboys o-lineman.

The last 2 years the media hyped Luka up as the next MVP before the season started and he was out of shape and shooting poorly. He doesn't really get going until later in the year.

Luka is extremely talented but he doesn't work on his body like he should.

Lukac is just Houston Harden all over again.... Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble... dribble, dribble, iso. Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble... dribble, dribble pick and roll. Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble... dribble, dribble step back 3. Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble... dribble, dribble pass to a 3pt shooter.







look at this shyt :mjlol::mjlol::picard:

him and Harden are both horrible defenders and always been too. And they dribble the shyt out the ball on offense. But its good for bringing up your PPG, RPG, APG averages and tricking dumb fans who don't watch and analyze the game at a high level. School of Russ, Harden, first Cavs run LeBron dominating the ball without playing defense. When it works you get all the credit because of the numbers. When it dont all your teammates will get blamed... Like we aint seen Dallas 2-1 against Utah without Luka with Brunson lookin like Hornets CP3 :sas2:

I will give this to Luka though... He better in playoff than Harden. They alot alike but Luka posts nikkas up. Little nikkas he gettin that mismatch and sonnin em and he got some midrange game and even a lil fade to his bag. Harden aint have that so it was easier to guard him in playoffs. He was alot just layups, free throws and step back 3s and we seein how that limited skillset doin him now as his first step aint what it used to be to blow by nikkas or have that hesi threat to create space. Luka more versatile and less predictable. But overall its the same formula and aint winnin shyt even if he got more talent around him if he continues playin like this that style of basketball aint leadin to a chip :yeshrug:

Jason Kidd was a DOG on defense too, when he watches this film, he going to be disgusted.
:hhh:

The sad shyt about Harden is that you could live with his shytty defense because he was an offensive force. Now he's lost it and of course trash on defense
:mjcry:

Luka needs to work on his conditioning. His scoring drops off in the 2nd and he's gasping for air.
Smart coaching/players see that and attacked him.
I was done when I saw cp3 a 37 yo blow clean past him on defense several times.
I hate players who only tired on defense but have energy on offense. We not winning no rings that way my guy

Crowder was blowing by him too and feeding McGee when his man had to come off him and try and stop Crowder at the rim.
Yea, Luka needs to get his diet in order. You can see he gained weight after sitting out a week from the calf injury. Ridiculous.

I couldn't agree more.
It's so obvious homeboy doesn't take his diet seriously

However to compare his style of play to harden is a bit too much.
Harden foul hunting is what makes him disgusting to watch.
Luka doesn't have that as of now

Yeah at least crowder is 31.
I'm an old head and if I blow by anyone in basketball and they in they 20s. I always talk to them after.
A 37 yo should not have the quickness to blow past you. I don't care about 6 1 vs 6 6.
