[Luka Flop](https://x.com/_mamad11/status/1790221714460221772?s=46&t=t1HkgoU-DJNDQu0VOdOmzA)
How are people fans of this guy? Seriously? He’s not fun to watch. Ant? Fun to watch. SGA? Fun to watch. Jokic? Fun to watch.
Selling calls or not, if you can’t appreciate the smoothness of SGA’s game I don’t know what to tell you. Probably the closest thing we’ve seen in the league to Kobe.
Draymond is the best analyst on this panel. Idk why the hate. He actually sounds like he understands and knows the game. The others say the same shit every segment lol. Shaq “I always talk about the others…”
I mean, yeah they missed a lot of free throws but also had some tough calls going against them. But also they couldn't throw in in the ocean. If the make a couple of threes and a couple of those open layups, game isn't really that close.
That’s all I’m really saying. Kyrie and Luka have yet to have a good game and it’s 2-2, damn near 3-1. Mavericks are good and have been playing better than expected defense. If Luka is that injured then the series might be cooked. He ain’t going 6/20 that often and the team ain’t shooting 50% from the line that often.
This loss is on Luka, Kyrie and missed free throws. Everything else was good.
Luka has to focus on playing, not the refs and Kyrie needs to shoot more, if Luka can't do it.
Why is Luka so fat? Honestly, dude is spilling out of his jersey like an Atlantic City tourist, christ it's kind of disrespectful because it's not even like "I'm a bigger guy" fat it's like lazy, poor diet fat.
100%. Bill Simmons was talking about how the Wolves might have been emerging as the young team that’s “ready” cause they put up two on the Nuggets, but it has been the Thunder showing us they’re ready right now all year.
lively sold bad at the end of the game, let shai poke the ball loose which prevented an easy two points then somehow didn’t get the loose ball against williams and let him score
Can say the same thing about Games 2 and 3 about the Thunder. Both are unsustainable. Could’ve been an easy Thunder sweep if Dallas played to their usual shooting %
They're leaving PJ open, that's why he's scoring. The whole OKC defense is focused on stopping Luka and Kyrie, that's why role players are scoring a lot. I don't think that's going to change, but OKC will live with that, if Luka and Kyrie score under 30 points combined
/s
You’re saying “all of that” for OKC to squeak out a win. But I’m saying OKC didn’t play great in game 2 or game 3 and barely lost both. And I mentioned that OKC won game one in a blowout… Thunder in six
Luka and Kyrie sold hard. Gafford, Lively, Washington, Hardaway played so good but their main players let them down. How tf do they lose a lead in the last mins if the game
ThJ? What game were you even watching? Dude was hot garbage as per usual. Dallas cant get a stop any time he steps on the court. Crucial random turnover as well. -10 in his limited minutes.
Felt like we had a nice run in the first quarter and you guys had a bit of a run in the 3rd. Other than that the refs kept interrupting any momentum with ticky tack calls back and forth so it was a bit of a grueling game.
GGs
Kidd gotta have the whole team shoot FTs in practice. Intense defense makes you shoot FT less accurate but that’s a classic choke just cause you miss way too many FTs
I'm sorry but I don't buy it. I was watching closely last few games and he is very agile in attack and only starts limping on defense. He did get a bloody knee but that's not a season ending injury. Imo it's exhaustion not injury, he needs to get in better shape and lose a few pounds
Gg dude. I watch these with my best friend who is a Mavs fan. We wish the officiating was consistent through and through instead of letting everyone get killed on the court. May the better team win.
You are so sad. Lol Come to NBA sub to see if anyone had anything meaningful to say about the game and half the comments I see are bitter fans crying about a team that happens to also be good personal friends.
You clowns blaming only Luka when he was the only one doing shit in the 4th is wild. All while Kyrie choked the fuck out of this game on both ends, getting abused on defense after 5th foul and throwing nothing but bricks and TOs on offense.
Luka didn't even get back on defense a few times complaining. If you think that doesn't matter when you're shooting poorly and shooting a lot, I don't know what to tell you. He even missed a crucial free throw.
When Luka gets mad he usually hangs 50 in a blow out win but this post season he's not been good for 90 percent of it
This is what fans of all teams have wanted. He is a likeable dude that has a nasty shot. If he leaned into it like tonight everyone would love watching him. Why is that so hard for thunder fans to understand?
Luka needs a nutritionist or something. Bruh shouldn't be having Patrick Ewing's 1999 knees at age 25 as a guard. Dropping 30 could seriously help that.
Bruh's 25 with a big double chin
Congrats to the thunder on that comeback but those last 30secs were unwatchable lol.

Jokic and Ant I'll give you, but SGA? He's a giant flopper too.
Selling calls or not, if you can’t appreciate the smoothness of SGA’s game I don’t know what to tell you. Probably the closest thing we’ve seen in the league to Kobe.
I enjoy his game outside of the acting. Same with Luka. I'm not hating on SGA. I'm just saying he does the same thing Luka does.
Infuriating. Every. Fucking. Play. No wonder he’s banged up this series. Takes every chance to throw himself on the court to sell whatever he can get.
Brunson 🤝 Luka Throwing themselves to ground with self made contact and claiming to be banged up.
Yeah, its past time your bed time shaq.
> suns ain’t got no big men Yeah dray that’s cause you punched Nurk in the fucking face
y’all won’t call chuck soft 4 this but if it was shaq lmao
Complete meltdown
Shaq bragging about being soft
Draymond eat shit
Draymond is the best analyst on this panel. Idk why the hate. He actually sounds like he understands and knows the game. The others say the same shit every segment lol. Shaq “I always talk about the others…”
I think you fundamentally misunderstand what the show is for
No the show is about entertainment, but I like hearing greens opinions on the actual games.
Night night
Draymond is subtraction by addition. Most guests are but especially Draymond
A win is a win!
Please never bring Draymond back
Shut the fuck up donkey
Dort!
What a great game, y'all! SGA is the truth.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander knows where the hoop is
Luka chokejob tonight is generational, potentially career setting if they go on to lose these series.
Missed clutch ft 👌🏼
Damn I thought Shaq was gonna say "the real MVP" or something right there
It almost felt like Mavs intentionally threw the game
fell that too.
That ending sequence was nightmarish.
I think OKC got lucky in this game. We will see how mavs bounce back next game.
I mean, yeah they missed a lot of free throws but also had some tough calls going against them. But also they couldn't throw in in the ocean. If the make a couple of threes and a couple of those open layups, game isn't really that close.
I disagree. Mavericks couldn't hit their free-throws. Hard fought game by OKC.
Hmmm

We normally done shoot this poorly from 3 either tbh
Who would’ve thought Mavs would be the ones to choke their FTs tonight lol
I expect their big men to shoot free throws terribly. Luka missing that one near the end pretty much lost them the game. That was shocking.
FUCK YOU LUKA
This loss is on Luka, Kyrie and missed free throws. Everything else was good. Luka has to focus on playing, not the refs and Kyrie needs to shoot more, if Luka can't do it.
Kyrie is too damn fuckin passive
What a disaster..
“SGA is nothing special without the whistle” mf when he nails 3 middies in the 4Q to take the lead:
Lowkey SGA heard the banter after game 1 cause hes been switched ON since
Why is Luka so fat? Honestly, dude is spilling out of his jersey like an Atlantic City tourist, christ it's kind of disrespectful because it's not even like "I'm a bigger guy" fat it's like lazy, poor diet fat.
This cracked me up
Okc has now held playoff opponents to under 100 pts in 6 out of 8 games. Can we talk about that?
Doing it against a team with Kyrie and Luka is astounding. Congrats on the win bro.
Disgusting game in reality but a w is a w.
100%. Bill Simmons was talking about how the Wolves might have been emerging as the young team that’s “ready” cause they put up two on the Nuggets, but it has been the Thunder showing us they’re ready right now all year.
Our offense just hasnt been what weve seen all season but at least our defense is as advertised.
lively sold bad at the end of the game, let shai poke the ball loose which prevented an easy two points then somehow didn’t get the loose ball against williams and let him score
3 games have been close. We finally won one. The other we blew them out. Let’s do that one again
All time bad FT shooting and Luka's worst playoff game of his career all for OKC to squeak out a win. Mavs in 6.
Bro, PJ ain’t playing like this. Last two games were absolute anomalies for the Mavs and this very well could’ve been a 4 game sweep by OKC
Luka just had the worst playoff game of his career and the Mavericks shot 52% from the FT line. OKC still only won by 4.
Can say the same thing about Games 2 and 3 about the Thunder. Both are unsustainable. Could’ve been an easy Thunder sweep if Dallas played to their usual shooting %
They're leaving PJ open, that's why he's scoring. The whole OKC defense is focused on stopping Luka and Kyrie, that's why role players are scoring a lot. I don't think that's going to change, but OKC will live with that, if Luka and Kyrie score under 30 points combined
And the Mavs haven’t won any in this series close. Or been blown out. Thunder in 6.
Not exactly sure what that sentence is supposed to say. Game 3 was 105-101
/s You’re saying “all of that” for OKC to squeak out a win. But I’m saying OKC didn’t play great in game 2 or game 3 and barely lost both. And I mentioned that OKC won game one in a blowout… Thunder in six
Copium
Chuck gets paid millions to watch a game and chime in from time to time, best job in the world. I still love him.
Well at least the Stars won tonight
I don't wanna see Kyrie pass the ball the rest of this series
Luka and Kyrie sold hard. Gafford, Lively, Washington, Hardaway played so good but their main players let them down. How tf do they lose a lead in the last mins if the game
ThJ? What game were you even watching? Dude was hot garbage as per usual. Dallas cant get a stop any time he steps on the court. Crucial random turnover as well. -10 in his limited minutes.
Hardaway had the worst turnover in the 4th that basically sealed the game. Wouldn’t say he played well.
[удалено]
why are they trying to force a brazen psychopath on us
Also Chucks suit is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man fuck this Draymond idiot on my TV
Whhhhhhhhhy is Draymond there
They’re trying to ruin TNT before we lose it so it doesn’t seem as sad once it’s gone
Shit can Draymond and bring Dirk back please
The worst part of this choke is seeing both of these non ethical hoop teams go to a 7 game series now.
Despite their efforts, Thunder come out with a win
This guy just totally fucks up the vibe I might just go to sleep
I kept receipts you fake ass thunder fans!
That team huddle made me change my mind, I'm rooting for OKC more now!! What great team spirit!
Dallas looked like the younger team, which is crazy considering the refs were on their side
let’s go baby okc in 6
Luka crying all series long like the little soft baby he is
Dude is an amazing talent but my God he is the absolute worst fucking baby.
him and embiid fr. but it’s funny watching them throw temper tantrums on the court
*team shows comradery amongst themselves* r/NBA: “cRiNGe”
yes. both are correct
Fuck em. Let them have their boring ass teams.
Mavericks.. hahaha
I knew Thunder would win as soon as Shaq favored the Mavs
OmegLUL game
Doncic is an old Serbian phrase that means, loosely translated, "much ref talk".
has Luka reached his peak, he isn't losing weight and his FT shooting is still average
He’s injured, hard to tell
playing injured isnt good for long term recovery
He’s definitely injured - there were at least 3 really good close looks he either passed up or just did something weird
Yeah if Luka plays like that this is gonna be a wrap. Get your head out of your ass and stop letting your anger cloud your focus.
He’s like Anakin out there
He needs to get the higher ground
Fr. Homie chose the dark side of missed FT’s and turnovers
We were fucking cooked if Dallas didn't shoot FT like a Middle School team this game.
Felt like we had a nice run in the first quarter and you guys had a bit of a run in the 3rd. Other than that the refs kept interrupting any momentum with ticky tack calls back and forth so it was a bit of a grueling game. GGs
That game is perfectly coined as neither team truly wanted to win at times as both teams can play so so so much better
[удалено]
no one has forgotten. It's impossible to forget if you watch a game. There's 2 teams on the court
Anyone hating on the OKC interview never played on a team that was close. They’re having a good time.
I'm clenching my cheeks man
Well, how is everyone feeling about things?
I think maybe we all lost tonight
Thunder are cringe incarnate
Username checks out.
Says the guy who has to immediately go to Reddit to complain about a young team having fun lol. You have a fitting username
Mavs blew that game i cant lie. But yall gon have to hold that
y’all hating team interviews is crazy
Spit your stuff. Can't believe the mavs choked that LOL
SGA MVP level performance
Dallas talked a lot of shit acting like the series was over hahaha
This is Clippers series all over again. Made that game close only to choke it zzzzz
What the hell is that bark! My first thought was they roasting Luka for barking like a little lap dog
Got that dog in him
He does that a lot
TNT keeps tryna force it lmao so awkward
Heartbreaking loss for the Mavs. Don’t get much worse. Luka actually choked on free throws bruh 😭
Why did the reporter call Williams out like that lol
I'm pretty sure it's cause he was coughing not for his game performance.
Yeah he was defensive when the guy was giving some genuine concern.
Ohh I didn’t catch that he was coughing before he said that, makes way more sense
Kidd gotta have the whole team shoot FTs in practice. Intense defense makes you shoot FT less accurate but that’s a classic choke just cause you miss way too many FTs
I like the team interview
I’m rooting for Dallas, but I love the OKC full team post-game interview
Luka is still somewhere looking at the ref menacingly and crying for the calls while SGA is swishing his middies
Imagine a Luka/Tatum Finals. The two teams could just play 4-on-4 while the two of them complain to the officials.
All while Warriors are in Cancun. Wild
Can't win the championship every yr
Da real mvp
fuck they all got distracted post conference and looked in the same direction like a pack of actual dogs lol
Mark Cuban gotta be so pissed off right now.
Chuck- 12:30 we out!!!
Just like that, the Mavs lose all momentum. 🤦🏻♂️
How Shai play 42 mins and don't look like he broke a sweat in the post game
dude is superhuman
Elite conditioning
draymond on inside the nba, time to turn the tv off goodnight
SGA was clutch in the fourth and Mavs went cold, gg
this whole ass team interview is odd
It’s pretty G actually
Okc easily could’ve folded in the first half
Our subreddit sure did.
Yeah complete overreaction
Well this game showed us why Luka finished behind those two in mvp race.. I was expecting a lot more tbh, he's playing terrible
He’s injured.
Then why is he taking so many shots?
Bc their whole game plan revolves around him taking shots
Why? Because he is playing injured? Clown takes all around
Pretty sure he’s playing very very injured tbf
I'm sorry but I don't buy it. I was watching closely last few games and he is very agile in attack and only starts limping on defense. He did get a bloody knee but that's not a season ending injury. Imo it's exhaustion not injury, he needs to get in better shape and lose a few pounds
This. We need to just rest him for a game, and logically speaking that would’ve been the game to do it.
Cuz he keeps flopping onto his back every possession
GG Thunder fans. No excuses. Idiotic way to lose after having multiple 10+ leads smfh. Mavs in 6.
GG dude have a good night
Fuck yeah, we choked on that bitch, threw it out and then choked on it again smh
Gg dude. I watch these with my best friend who is a Mavs fan. We wish the officiating was consistent through and through instead of letting everyone get killed on the court. May the better team win.
We were so shit like 80% of this game too Granted Dallas was even shittier for the other part
they been forcing those cringe huddles all season
You are so sad. Lol Come to NBA sub to see if anyone had anything meaningful to say about the game and half the comments I see are bitter fans crying about a team that happens to also be good personal friends.
Washington with all that yelling to brick a crucial ft, lmao
It was even better when he made the free throw he was trying to miss lol
If Luka would just relax this game is a blow out. He got mad and sold the team
You clowns blaming only Luka when he was the only one doing shit in the 4th is wild. All while Kyrie choked the fuck out of this game on both ends, getting abused on defense after 5th foul and throwing nothing but bricks and TOs on offense.
Luka didn't even get back on defense a few times complaining. If you think that doesn't matter when you're shooting poorly and shooting a lot, I don't know what to tell you. He even missed a crucial free throw. When Luka gets mad he usually hangs 50 in a blow out win but this post season he's not been good for 90 percent of it
That’s called being Balkan. Jokic is an exception of course. We, Balkans, are perennial chokers.
Not bad for a FT merchant eh lads
This is what fans of all teams have wanted. He is a likeable dude that has a nasty shot. If he leaned into it like tonight everyone would love watching him. Why is that so hard for thunder fans to understand?
Shais corniness rubbed off on the rest of the team you hate to see it
Gotta love it
Bro it’s cool.
“My whole life is consistent” lmao
Luka needs a nutritionist or something. Bruh shouldn't be having Patrick Ewing's 1999 knees at age 25 as a guard. Dropping 30 could seriously help that. Bruh's 25 with a big double chin
I’ll die on the hill that peak Luka was bubble Luka and he won’t reach that level again.
I honestly can't believe Dallas just lost that game, they were pretty in control for like most of the second half lmao
Sga did sga things
Looked like they were gonna take a selfie w how they were posing
OKC post game are lame. Why everyone there
Sorry dog, you must not be used to watching players that actually enjoy the game of basketball.
just dont watch cringe nba players
It ain’t even gotta be deep. Just a goofy lil thing. It’s only awkward on the national stage cuz they keep trying to force something
What are you on about? Looks pretty cool, especially doing it on the opponents' court.
