Read those posts earlier and said "Damn Luka must be goin off" :leon:

Come home and throw on the end of Lakers Mavs and Nuggets Blazers and hear Stu Lantz say Luka is 1-12 and has had a nightmare game :wtf:

Those guys aren't really the type for sarcasm or self-deprecation so wtf were they on about?

Luka made literally ONE shot to start off the game, and LeBron had an absolutely awful start (maybe a bit worn after the big 4th quarter the night before), and so haters gotta hate.

LeBron started off like 1-6 with 4 turnovers and the Mavs jumped out to a 37-22 lead, then he went 11-15 without a single turnover the rest of the game and Lakers won easy.

I told nikkas, Pop's gonna get left behind (just like Phil did) if he doesn't structure his offense around the 3-ball; Spurs no longer have a dominant defense to carry them to wins. That advantage Pop had on the league with his system is now gone, cause teams done woke up and adjusted, and are reaping the benefits.

LMA and DeRozan (combined) takes less than TWO 3-pointers a game, yet take over EIGHT mid-range/long 2s. You can't win in this league with that strategy.

Another game where Julius gets exposed when he can't get easy scoring opportunities in the paint, from rim runs and crashing the glass:

2 out of 6 field goals, and 4 turnovers (completely incapable of generating his own offense without turning it over)
the main factor in letting the Heat go on a near 20-point run and his team never recovered.
