Eurotrash appearance? What's that supposed to mean? That's a borderline racist comment :crazy:

I mean, I wouldn't call needing a third try to finally get a win while relying upon injuries and the officials to be one sided as kicking ass, but I understand, in Dallas, the bar is set relatively low, which is what tends to happen when you have a beta as a star player

This is sarcasm, no? Cuz there's so much wrong with this whole post that it has to be either that, somebody is REALLY butthurt, or they just don't know anything. :lol:

I'm embarrassed for you for this post.

Mavs have a title. And when Kawhi beat Dallas I gave him every flower.

But beta. Glad the right wing talking points are back. Goodness knows RealGM can't survive without that nonsense.

Kawhi did it the right way, beating a healthy team and not needing a whistle advantage?

And right wing talking points? Now that is quite embarrassing to bring politics when nothing stated had anything to do with such.

Healthy opponent? Your plastic team literally injured KP in the bubble and tried hard to hurt Luka but ehi whatever makes you feel better.
And sore losers blame the refs when their team got ass kicked..

It's just painful trying to watch a great series and this guy is whining more than Chris Paul on any call that doesn't go his way.

Does anyone remember a superstar complaining this much?


Yes. After the 80's players started to complain more on the court. I think it started with Dennis Rodman trying to bait and manipulate players into fouls and technicals. Then other players decided to embrace the complaining and manipulation of ref's. The following notable players have all complained a lot to officials:

Kobe
Lebron
Harden
Shaq
Draymond
Garnett

But I think players overall complain and talk too much to the refs.....


As I said previously, my main man was an all-timer.

I'd love to see your approach and attitude after years of consistently getting one of the worst superstar whistles in the league.

Did you guys played any sports that includes refs? You're gonna tell me you've never been in situation where you felt you're being screwed by the calls? Try to remeber how composed you were back then.

Even zen master Jokic who gets equally shafted started whining more and more this year - constant bs gets to you. What OKC and Dort were allowed to get away with this game was criminal. Brothers should not be allowed to ref another game in his life. Trash.

Luka whines waaayyyy too much and it is annoying but every game i watch i see players begging their coach to challenge foul calls and its really annoying. Harden, James, Towns, and Green are other players who cry way too much on the court. And there are many more. Its not just Luka although he does need to mature and be a leader on the court.

Did you see James jumping up and down like an 8 year old kid because he thought the refs missed a call against Denver in the playoffs? And the guy is almost 40.

It’s funny usually people hate players who get the benefit of the whistle.

Luka is so good and doesn’t get the calls he is supposed to get because he is big so he ends up complaining.

Lebron and Carmelo had the same issues with refs and complain to refs. So does everyone else who is a little larger than normal.

Luka however complains to the detriment of the team which as a Mavs fan pisses me off.

If you are not a Mavs fan and it bothers you…you just wanted to nitpick a reason not to like Luka or you’re an NBA fan and you want to like Luka but can’t, understandable. Him complaining leads to his head not being in the game. Would you rather him be unbothered and continue to demolish your team??
