Him and Hackett will not play anymore for the NT.

So all-stars are playing James Harden defense? That is what Luka is doing right now. He is tired after every possession an then rests on defense with his hands on knees. I suggest you watch the games my man. Eurobasket will show all this. I am willing to bet he will look like he can barely move before the end of group stage.


Yes, some all-stars do not play defense.

I did not watch the last two games, but I watched this clip and could not find anywhere he was tired or resting his hands on his knees. Where do I find it?


Why am I even talking to you if you dont watch the games? :banghead:


Lol. I have not watched the two last games, but I have watched all his regular season games, playoffs, and euro games, but not his previous two, just the 10 minutes highlights. In those highlights, I saw no sign of fatigue when Germany and Estonia were on offense. Nobody else here agrees with you. Just tell me where I can see it.

Nobody else agrees because they are all blind Luka fans. Watch the games.

I hope I can finish work to manage to watch the game in 3 hours, I'll definitely be able to watch the 2nd half.

We might be blind, but you're totally unrealistic. Luka has joined NT on 10th of Avgust and has immediately played very solid game against Turkey. Nobody can be in top form after just 2 weeks of training, but he looks very good for this time of year.

IS there a nation with harder to spell names than Lithuania?

Man, with the advantage Lithuania has in their twin tower lineup, you'd think they'd be more effective than that.

Luka never looks physically good. If Cancar looked like Luka today, would you say he looks good? Way to lower your standards.

I saw it now. He had two offensive rebounds in a row, rested his arms on his legs, and then did a spin move and dunked. You are right. He is out of shape.

He has totally different body type.

3rd hit in the face for Luka, and none of them was slight.

It's crazy how strong Luka really is. Sabonis can barely move him. Great defense in the post so far.

Good W. Luka with bad % but carried the team in the 4th quarter with nice pass, great rebounds and decent D.

A nothing but good center like Tobey is better than our last 10/15 C not named Chandler.

3 **** PO years with Dwight Powell OMG. Incredible.

Dragic also showing he can still be effective. Huge L from Mavs FO.

Slovenia looked less dominant this game than they looked during the Olympics campaign, Luka couldn't hit water from a boat, but had a good game otherwise, Lithuania lost by insisting on Sabonis.
