I’m not sure his leg will hold up to that as much as I’d like him to do it.

This season he was the perfect mix of shooting and driving. Problem is that now he’s injured so he’s driving slow af and settling for shots.
If Luka is healthy, this isn’t an issue.

Luka seems messed up, and I doubt his knee is going to get better before game 5.

Not an issue when he’s not injured. Right now he doesn’t have the lift, or the ability to drive through people like he normally can due to his knees being banged up.
He’s going to have to use his basketball in and vision to do his part, and just enough to be a credible decoy so Ky can cook

He’d already be at the ft line 15 times if the refs blew their fucking whistles

It really seems like Luka is injured when he settles for and relies more on his three-point shooting and outside game rather than his inside game.

He has no burst or athleticism at all and NO NOT CAUSE HES INJURED. He wasn’t going to the paint in G1/G2 either.
Like OP said in picture, he became overly reliant on his outside shot the last 2 seasons. Luka used to have a KILLER floater, euro step, and spin move in his first 3 seasons and he for some odd reason has completely eradicated that from his bag.
Ty Lue and his coaching staff understand that and are playing into that. That’s what an excellent coaching staff does.

I’m crying
Are u guys
watching the games?
Let’s say he magically recovered from his injury(that he probably had before game 1)
Clippers helps to the paint with 4 defenders
because no one can shoot
is he going to finish over 5 defenders?
maybe this way
you can
understand

Eh, he’s trying to find his 3 pointer, because the best version of Luka is the one that hits 50+% of threes, the team is basically unstoppable with that version. Issue is that he’s carrying an injury which is throwing anything from range off. Have y’all never played basketball? Anything injury wise can make you off rhythm and that’s what he’s going through. Sometimes you just have to suffer through it, and tweek your muscle memory to compensate for whatever is bothering you. Especially a lower half injury. I do want to point out that his 2 point percentage is actually around 55% so maybe he should be driving to the hoop more because the 3 pointer is what’s actually killing his efficiency. The issue here is the Clippers are actively trying to hack him and wear him down physically, which could exacerbate his injury if he’s going in too much. Also they are getting away with fouls on almost every contested lob, making it almost certain that Luka will have to shoot, absorbing even more contact.

also 15 fouls part… they are not giving him calls lmao what can he do? be a ref as well?
Axisofcoolio
Look at the shape he is in between 22 and now. Dude was putting Marcus Morris in the basket with his shoulders and upper body strength and also telling Pat Bev he was too fucking small.
To work with what Luka has now, this version that can’t even dribble past Terrance Mann, they should start feeding him in the post.

He’s averaging 7.8 FT’s a game being hacked to shit, how do you reckon he’s gonna get up to 15 lmao. This fucking sub man.
TBizzle22
You mean continuing to shoot heat checks when you aren’t even hot, isn’t a good game plan?
KakashiDarui
He definitely settles too much on the outside even when he was healthy. If his knee is bothering him that much then he should post up more. Hes effective there and can draw fouls with his pump fakes.
donnelson
He doesn’t do it any more, and really hasn’t in three years or so. Sucks.

Hear me out… what if… there’s some kind of knee injury that’s limiting the amount of drives he can do…… crazy right? 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Terrence Mann is doing this little like finger in mini grab/pull to his jersey and shorts , it’s really fucked luka up.
