The dude has hobbling around for half of the playoffs. These playoff series are tight, a star at 70% or 80% isn't going to get it done.

He's been hobblin since the Kings games at the end of the season.

Man everyone hurt -

Stop it -

Luka shooting bad shots - hurt or not he shootinf 23% (at best ) from 3 and taking 11.5 threes a game -

That’s not a health issue-

That’s a coaching issue

I don’t blame Luka for shooting that shot if his coach doesn’t say a damn thing -

But yall just extended him !

OKC got a 2nd chance at a potential perennial contender, they better not mess it up this time.

Not at all man. It just feels really odd and ironically foreign to see when you’ve spent your whole life in big international cities. Didn’t mean to throw shade if that’s how it came off.

I agree but who else would be better right now? Kyrie loves kidd and Nico


Mike Bud, but it's more important to coddle Kyrie.

If Luka is going to play timid the rest of the playoffs due to pain and fear or more injury. Just let OKC win. I don’t feel like watching a hobbled player. Not entertaining.

OKC fans better be nervous. Dwight Powell getting some run. Ya don’t want to see him get going. He’s a game changer.

How did Kidd get an extension?

They should be playing through Kyrie if Luka is not right. He's just taking 3pt shots and not getting to the basket. Adjustments!
