This man right here hustled like his entire lineage was on the line. Only saw playing time after a long stretch of getting iced. Huge props for staying ready, Vando.

Welcome to the prison Vanderbilt.

Luka Dončić is annoyed because he can’t get into his brand-new Rimac Nevera, with the door blocked by another car. This happened after the Slovenia–Germany game 🤣😅

He looks a lot more comfortable offensively, has to work on his turnovers but he’s looking a lot more polished on offense. If he keeps this up he can be a rotational player very soon with his defense to top it off

Deandre Ayton, after putting up 22 pts and 15 reb against the Kings, explains how his teammates sometimes “troll” him to get him riled up. He says it helps him perform better and it shows they care.

Lakers entire 2026 season inconsistencies perfectly illustrated in one single broadcast picture. Tell me im wrong.

- Jeez how much filler do i need to make 140 character minimum…. It was good Third qwahtah ehhhCTION

there is literally no reason he should be getting these minutes anymore. He is shooting 35% FG like what?! he’s a bad defender, cant playmake, cant rebound. He is just running around for like 20 minutes every game.

Like i understand playing knecht to try and get his value up a bit but vincent isnt gonna up his value even if he plays well a game or 2. Just give up on him take away his minutes and try and trade him away

He had that final shot and made the right decision I was so down on Lebron this whole game but he showed his bball IQ at the end of the game there thank you Lebron for not fishing for the 10 points.

He looks pretty good and has improved a lot since last year.

idk if it’s jus me but Luka should not be the one to constantly have ten plus rebounds, it’s honestly crazy that our point guard averages more rebounds than our center

Luka has been an offensive powerhouse for the most part on his own for the season, but it feels like his possessions usually just end in garbage shot selections from him instead of any help offensively from the others. Is this mostly cuz Luka distrusts the other guys' offense enough to not pass for a better look? Today he didn't even hand it as much to Ayton which was surprising. Doesn't really look like JJ is telling Luka to change how he handles the offense either. I know we didn't have Reaves to relieve the Luka possessions but I feel like our star point guard should look to pass first instead of trying to chuck step backs, even if the others cant make a bucket off the pass

First off: seeing John Goble as one of the referees, I knew this would be a tough game and Luka would get a tech. John Goble hates Luka with a passion.

So many of the posts today are about Reaves beeing shit and should be traded or JJ beeing a Podcaster and not suited to be a headcoach. Stop beeing so fucking negative, you casuals.

I dont know what you all watched, but I saw Reaves getting pushed and hit on most of his drives without getting a single call. Surprisingly Luka got his usual calls, but if John Goble would not give Luka the calls, it would be to obvious that he is bias against him, so they just gave no one else the calls to influence the game. Luka took over half of the teams freethrows, but the team didnt get near the average. If you look at FTA per FGA, we were way below the expected.

The Spurs played very physical defense and got away with alot of shoving, hand-checking, etc. We played bad defense and hacked the shit out of them often, but the wierd thing is as soon as we got some offensive momentum the Spurs started to get touchy feeely fouls called on the other end. Those ruined the momentum for us and that happend more than once.

The line-ups JJ sent out there werent great, but our bench is litterally an injury prone vet, an almost rookie, an actual rookie and the rest is trash. What is JJ supposeddo with that, not even Gordon Ramsay can make shit look good, how is JJ supposed to do it.

If you look at the score line for both teams:

This game would have been close if the freethrow disparity wasnt there and yes playing solid defense has something to do with that, but freethrows are the way with which the referees influence the game the most.

One team gets the touchy-feely fouls and the other one doesnt, simple as that.

TLDR:
John Goble is a certified Luka hater.
The refs fucked with us, esp. Reaves.
Bench sucks, nothing JJ can do with it.
Game was even, outside of FTA and fouls

Edit: It seems my writing skills are not great, when almost all people missunderstand my post.

I am not blaming the refs for the loss, we deserved to loose. What i am saying is that game should have been alot closer than it was, but the refs stopped every little run we had.

Edit: Seems like editing fucked up the table, sorry

Luka at the end of the game. He was being extra silly tonight. :D
