It sucks because he’s clearly hobbled but they have pretty much no choice but to play him

Surprisingly low amount of slander going around.

Why didn’t he just pass it to one of his 4 all star teammates? Or one of his 40+% three point shooters? Is he stupid?
zellmerz
He took so many bad shots at terrible points in the game. Felt like he really killed the teams offense/flow in the first half multiple times

I PLEDGE A LUGUENTZ.

You forgot the 10 FTA, 4 of which he missed

So are we treating this Luka injury like how y’all did Embiid or will it just be used as an excuse for him being horrible all playoffs.
imNagoL
It never ceases to amaze me when people have kneejerk reactions surrounding superstars when they have a bad game.
UTRAnoPunchline
Luka needs to drop like 20 LBs
The Miami Heat Lebron Build (minus the muscle) he has going ain’t it.
Ifinishfast42
Knew it was over when I saw that FanDuel boost for him and SGA to both get 25.
baldful
apparently injured luka only goes superman against us

His efficiency took a giant dip in the playoffs.

Luka Doncic has been sentenced to 7 games in Dort federal penitentiary, with a possibility of parole after 4

His knee is clearly giving him issues AND Dort did a fantastic job guarding him. It can be both.

It do be like that sometimes. They dont think it be like it is, but it do

What a tease of a season. Better luck next year

Luka has been terrible for 2-3 weeks now. It’s not coming back. He was limping up and down the court tonight after having 3 days off.
My larger concern with him is whether he’ll take care of his body enough in the coming years to be reliably available and healthy when it matters. Maybe this playoff run is a one-off, but he plays basketball year-round, takes no breaks, and also never seems to be in improved shape/conditioning. Worst of both worlds for projecting his future durability.

Don’t care about injury keep the same energy you do to certain stars you hate.

Sad thing is he is getting the shots he wants but he can’t make any of them. He’s gottna be injured cause even chokers would be due for 1 hot shooting night

Also 6-10 from FT. All around awful game, OKC wins in 4 or 5 if he is really this hobbled
skeezbagg
Luka needs a nutritionist and professional chef 24/7/365 and no more international play.
Confident_Pear_8303
Dude was a gelatinous blob of ooze on defence. He is going to destroy some unlucky Oklahoma buffet tonight.
remuslupon
He has a torso that look like tree trunk and his ass look like honey buns. With his style of play (abrupt change of pace), all that excess weight ain’t helping his knees.
Said this in reply to a Mavs fan in the PGT and got downvoted but anybody with eyes can see that Luka somehow always gains weight over the course of the season. (this ain’t the first time)
Brickeduphardaf
Miami fans maybe you guys could trade Tyler Herro for this guy
Pizzaplan3tman
If this were hockey and Luka was averaging a Point per shot he’d be doing great
dawnoog
Luka can get locked into spamming stepbacks, especially when it’s not working
EnriquezGuerrilla
It’s a 7-game series but yeah Luka is not his usual playoff self. We will bounce back!
realfakejames
Mavs fans / Luka fans are crying about the refs and SGA and calling him a free throw merchant but Luka ended with 3 less attempts than SGA, and that’s with Luka being pulled with 5 mins left in the game, odds are he would’ve caught him if he played the last 5, people need to just accept Luka played like shit
Live-River1879
He hasn’t been right for a couple weeks now. He’s clearly banged up and he’s just not the same guy he was a month ago. I’m not sure if he was 100% that the Mavs are good enough to beat OKC but unless he pulls out of it and quick than Dallas is done. He simply has to play better
Admirable_Strike_406
Luka needs to start being in shape. Him being out of shape leads to games like this. He was tired after the first quarter and didn’t try on defense and couldn’t do anything on offense just looked fat imo
Mzr23
Mavs should play with all the new addictions + Kyrie and run the floor as fast as they can over and over. They would have more chances that with Luka
NoTangerine968
His knee ain’t right AND he he’s in the Dorture chamber. Not going to be a fun series for Luka
