I remember realizing this when Luka tore his jersey in half in the middle of the game and had to embarrassingly cover it up for a few possessions.

You can tell Luka wants to be the best version of himself to help the team win but his legs are failing him and he is getting frustrated at times, those floaters/push shots he missed in the 1st half were all hitting front rim because he couldnt muster enough force off that injured leg, same with the 3pt shot where his power calibration was all wonky.

Yeah – so

No one is harder on Luka than Luka.
It’s why I push back against so much of the criticism. There is zero doubt how badly Luka wants to win and how high of a standard he expects from himself.
There are aspects of his psyche he needs to improve but he’s always had a massive competitive spirit and there’s no quit in him.
Just wish he could stop letting the refs/whistle get in his head. If he let that put a chip on his shoulder as much as trash talking opponents do…

I love that this is after a superb drive and a foul draw.

One legged Luka is still the most frightening uni-ped I’ve ever witnessed……unbelievable heart and balls like Steve-O lol.

I recently heard chess GM Hikaru Nakamura say something to the equivalent of “you have to be a bit of a psycho to be the best at something” and I definitely agree. I think you saw some of that in MJ too.

It was his intimate moment with the ball. He was talking about her mother.😁

I totally understand his frustration. He knows how good he can be, but because of all the adjusting he needs to do with his injuries, his shots just aren’t falling consistently and it angers him. Keep your head up high, Luka.

this was after the and-one with Chet.
I think he is saying: “Qué te pasa, vamos macho” Which is a very spanish thing to say for “What’s wrong with you? Come on, man!”

Honestly I want this series to end as quick as possible and the wolves series to go on. I feel like nearly 1 week of rest would do wonders for him.

He said “Jebem mu mater u pičku” which would literally translate into “Fuck his mother in the pussy” which is a pretty general curse in the Balkan region (it’s not directed to someones mother).

My lip reading is a bit rusty, but I’m pretty sure he said: “Jebem im/ti/mu mater u pičku!”, which translates to “I fuck their/your/his mother in the pussy!”, which is a totally normal response in the Balkans when a competitor is hyped up and pissed off at the same time… and yes, we stress PUSSY, you know, just to make sure there’s no doubt about it 😅😂
