Hopefully my Wolves match up with the Lakers in the first round
Rules are rules
Look at the moments of arrogance doncic and youll see why π
You people are crazy on here teams lose sometimes it happens and you just move on and itβs not gonna happen like that every time man guys ur just full on haters
My workout routine is a copyright combat ready routine, not for sports entertainment. I personalize to a client's physical activity.π€πPEOII CIA CHIEF USMCIAOO8 Olympic Instructor recovery time
If Koby Bryant came back from a Torn Achilles Tendon, this one is peace of cake!
And you know what's funny Michael Jordan used to play under more pressure man and nowadays people want to compare these players with MJ doesn't make any sense do you think Michael will stop playing because of an injury like that he had a broken foot and he wanted to play with it that's how tough he was nowadays they don't have that strength and mentality Lakers are done
Luka didnt care at all. He could've tossed the ball to a teammate. He let the ball go
All Luka can do is shoot and pass. He can't finish or score like SGA, JB, or JB .
Luka+AR+LeBron = 78 ppg
SGA+Williams+Holmgren = 57 ppg
So why tf can't we beat this team?
Time for 2018 bron
On the bright side, it happened now, and not in playoffs. So Luka can still return healthy in playoffs.
It was 4 min into the third. Every team deserves to try to make a run coming out of halftime. If you cut it 15 in the third then let's go for it. Saying they shouldn't even try in the second half is crazy
All the Luka haters coming out the woodwork after months lol, how have yall been?
The NBA should double down and increase the games to 70.
The reality of it is, it's the rule that everyone agreed to and plays by. End of story. Let's all see what his MRI shows before everyone continues to overreact to his injury. Could just be a mild strain or even a cramp, let's see the results. Lastly, if he needs to play in one more game for 20 minutes, then play him in the season finale against a bad Utah team. Even if Doncic scores "0" in that game, he will still win the scoring title and qualify for all of the NBA awards everyone is so concerned about. He doesn't even have to try to play defense like his teammates Lebron James does. Just stand in the offensive half of the court and the Lakers could get him the ball under the basket.
Athletes fake injuries all the time when they are being embarrassed. Ask Michael Johnson this vs. Donovan Bailey.
Luka will be fine.

No LeBron 2012-14 no win for Lakers
The rule definitely needs tweaking. It currently benefits guys that have deep teams and employ load management.
For teams that cannot load manage due to high load guys like Luka, Lebron, Cade it seems very unfair.
I think it should be a minutes rule rather than a game rule for all end of season awards except the 6th man of the year and most improved player (maybe an or clause for MIP) 20 minutes played per game for 65 games is indicative of a role player, it should be no game limit and strictly a minutes threshold for main roster players who are competing for 1st/2nd team and MVP/dpoy.
I think 2100 minutes should be the benchmark, it averages to about 32 mpg for 65 games. You want to load manage, that's fine, but you need to play more games to account for that.
You can't simply hide behind your deep team, it's absolutely outrageous that Wemby only has 1580 minutes, when Lebron, Luka and Cade have notched over 2000 minutes.
None of those guys load manage, it's benefiting those that do. Make it make sense.
It's early in the 3rd, nothing wrong with him playing at that time unless he was already dealing with some pain
Bron Bron gotta activate playoff mode now
Hater field day π
people forgot AD would do the same thing is act like heβs injured when it matters the most.
It's on JJ, he never plays the youngsters and rookies to take a load off the vets. Also you need depth and young athleticism. When your starters are down 40, you take them all out and play the youngsters. Detroit, Boston and others have played without their stars for a while and still win. The Lakers will have to do the same for as long as he's out and hopefully he's back before or for the playoffs.
Somebody owes Nico Harrison an apology
I like the 65 rule
Jay Stop β the Shenanigans. Luka should have been pulled every fan knows that the Lakers were losing this game.
This mf lost some money, he mad π Dude wants someone's head on a pike for Luka getting injured. Injuries happen. Hope Luka recovers quickly!
He's faking it
Fake injury he knows they are not going to the finals and to show la fraud canβt carry the team π’
9:45 The player you talking about name is Greg Popovich.
Stop it espn. Luka faked an injury once again.
The other night the pistons only play 1/5 starters everyone else βsat with injuriesβ players nowadays are just lazy no one wants to pay $500 for a ticket to watch the βscrubsβ
he should have pulled him what was he thinking
1ST ROUND EXIT FOE THE LAKERS AND NICO HARRISO. IS DRINKING CHAMPAGNE AND LAUGHING
He gave up that boy heart was injured cause they was getting bta
Please everyone calm down. The Lakers will be fine
Yall owe Nico an apology
Happy trails Luka
Why was he even out there?
I have no sympathy for him missing awards.
Lakers have no defense and Reeves looks like he standing in quicksand as are all the rest. They might get out of the first round. MAYBE.
