Luka looked slow today, both on offense and defense. He was failing to finish at the rim and also turning over the ball, while being picked on by the Wizards offense with Porzingis and Beal in street clothes.

He may be coming down to earth.
Insane usg rate already catching up to him
Like it or not this play style doesn’t equate to winning, Kobe literally has said it as well
Doubt he even gets MVP especially if harden couldn’t doing it
Regression to the mean
He needs some rest
Nasty stat padding attempt at the end there.
I can’t believe he played 40 minutes as well in a Mid November game.
Kuz Better
Great player of course but it’s not shocking that his early season efficiency wasn’t sustainable
He’s been a 57-58% TSish guy almost his whole career and wasn’t going to go up magically to 64% with a BIGGER workload
Expect Luka to play bad on teams with losing records.
Bro needs some rest
I wouldn’t read too much into this he has to work incredibly hard with his usage and he’s on a back to back after we dogged the hell out of him last night
Another great day for all Luka haters.
We had Luka in jail
So much for that MVP season
Y’all overreacting to 2 bad games in a row the way we overreacted to the hot start lol
It was bound to happen. Luka had a great start, and now he’s slowing down.
Good guy Luka playing like shit to keep Giannis 1st in the MVP rankings while he’s out!
He was never going to keep shooting 70% from 2.
free throws killed him, dude is clearly exhausted and looked like he was 40 years old this game. get this dude some help
everyone outside of dinwiddie has been absolute ass, hoisting up bricks and getting blown by
On a brighter note for Mavs fans, Dinwiddie balled out today
If this is him in the best shape….yikes
Mother Luka, this is on you!
Some monstars just drained Luka’s magic.

Fat boy needs a week off 😂😂😂😂
3 techs already?
The wood always wins
So Giannis isn’t playing and Luka is coming back down to Earth. I wonder what the nba.com MVP ladder is gonna look like soon
He’s regressing to the mean
they need to rest him.
He is clearly washed
Get this man some help
Is everyone forgetting he’s in a legal battle for over half a billion with his own mother?? Sometimes there’s bigger things than basketball going on with players. This sub really treats them like commodities.
Team reminds me of Iverson circa 2000 Sixers, mega star surrounded by role players who stand around.
idk guys maybe gassing up PPG totals and averages 7 games into the regular season is a little silly and sets unrealistic expectations. I hear basketball is a hard game and not everyone is gonna be like 86′ Jordan all of a sudden and average 37 ppg on the season. the early season overreactions are fun though i guess, easy to get caught up.
Washed and obese
ah yes, i remember when joker would be having MVP games, and every time he had a bad game, or even 2-3 bad games, boom front page from the haters
feels good our big honey laying low and we see these on other players lmao
People get tricked by his high-usage stats.
Really should have ran more plays for Dinwiddie tonight. Felt like every time he drove, it ended up with either a basket or a foul.
I was at the game, and even some of the Wizards fans around me were wondering why he wasn’t getting the ball more.
