I Didn't realize how much Luka snubbed Zinger in the pick and roll/pop when playing in Dallas.
Anyone know about this?

I don't think Luka has ever been liked by his teammates, I don't fault Porzi on this one at all.

Luka has always been about Hero Ball. The idea that he needs to is the biggest Scam in the NBA. The year they had J Brunson and No Luka in the playoffs for a few games should have proved that.

But If we are being truly Honest, can we guarantee that the Js won't do the same, Especially Brown... and will our Cupcake coach be able to do anything about it???

Shouldn’t surprise anyone that Luka’s a ball hog.
In other news I ain’t see one roll from Porzingis in any of these.

Porzingis developing chemistry with our roster — especially but not only the Jays — will be critical.

Agreed. I think with JB moved on JT could be reeled in. But if they are jealously competing for usage and raw points numbers again next year, Porzi will partially go to waste.

Luka had a great reputation or image for passing as he entered the league. That didn't really hold up, although of course he's a good candidate to get it back as he meanders along the "white Harden" path.

I mean ok but some of those look weak. That said we prob do need to make sure KP never gets froze out.

Luca is a Ballhog...news at 11.

Maybe Luka was pissed about him slipping all those screens.

Jk jk those were some pretty awful shots.

I watched alot of those plays with KP hands out for no passes to him . Luka was a big part of their failure in the 2 man game and JKidd not a good enough coach to say anything to Luka about it .As soon as KP got to the Wizards they ran plays through him where he got to play to his strengths and thus the better stats and efficiency.

Most of the time the joke gets old the longer it goes on. That video got funnier the longer it went… especially with the zoom in’s on KP.

Watch on YouTube

Luka suffering from Jaylen Brown syndrom there.

Love that these aren't just "snubs", a minute in Porzingis has been wide open every time and Luka hasn't hit a shot yet

White’s all about making the right play. He’ll hit Porzingis if he’s open. One of the reasons I wanted Poeltl in Boston was his good chemistry in PnR with White. KP is a bigger target, both inside and outside the arc. Joe better utilize his guys properly this year.

Some of the stepbacks are pretty bad but a lot of the times he's attacking the rim instead of passing to a 3 point shot. One "snub" is Luka taking a desperation three with 1 second left on the clock. This is clickbait, not analysis.

Dude Kristaps is wide open and Luka is taking on 2 or 3 guys and then shooting. Did you watch the video?

Odd though this may sound, the GB actually has some good discussion of the same video.

The video definitely has the whiff of confirmation bias, however Luka for sure would be difficult to play with and does love being the hero on offense and happy to leave defense to others.

Agreed, im sure you can make a similiar video with any NBA star player.
It takes superior coaching to reign in ball dominant players. I hope the players and coaching staff can get on the same page around ball distribution. The Celtics offense was great last year when the ball moved freely, and the guy with the best option took the shot.
