Point is, lineups with Luka are working great in both sides of the court, which is kinda shocking considering that they are playing a lot of small ball minutes with 0 rim protection.

If we talk about individual games. Yes he was responsible for Warriors loss, like LeBron was for Bulls loss. But that's normal, when you're playing 5 games a week. Just look at Curry yesterday, 3 points with 1/10 Fg. Schedules are just brutal, Lakers will play 25 games since 1ts of March.

We all tend to exaggerate about singular games in 82 games season, it's inevitable that bad games happen, even in playoffs, you can have 1 bad game and still easily win series. And in playoffs half court sets, Luka is still top 2 player in Nba.


I don't think it's exaggerating, it was a pivotal game for the Lakers, they dropped some very easy games, and got dangerously close to the play in, they still aren't safe despite beating OKC, it wasn't just another game.

As it was against OKC. ;) Lakers will be 3rd with only 2 wins out of 4 games and at least 6th with only 1 win.

First Mavs have to trade Nico to Lakers, then no problem.

Opening odds for Nba title were, Mavs + 900, Lakers + 4.000. Now you have Lakers + 1.000 and Mavs + 100.000. :lol: Great job Nico.

What a season it has been.
NBA Finals, Luka gone, and the ownership has been granted what they want.

Honestly, he is not finished, and the ownership doesn't seem to mind. Let's see what he does with AD, Kyrie, and the rest of the roster. Receiving pennies but giving up dollars is how he's handled business.

Lakers might have a brutal game vs Mavs since it will be a B2B for them. OKC will put up a better fight probably and Mavs could very well steam roll them since they'll play like it's their game 7.

Lakers need 1 win to qualify for playoffs and 2 for being 3rd, I believe they would have played the same, even if it wasn't Luka's return. Almost impossible to beat OKC twice in away game in 2 days, especially knowing that OKC wouldn't want to lose 3rd game in a row against direct playoff opponents.

Soooo.... that means Bronny will be the go2guy vs Mavs? I would really laugh if they sit everyone vs Mavs. Because this move makes no sense to me. B2B this close to playoffs and risking injuries or fatigue. It's weird. Plus Mavs will be rested and will play hard as hell.

It's even more hilarious when you think about the fact that Mavs are also pushing for Exum to come back vs Lakers :lol:

This looks stupid foremost because they're playing second game in OKC, who are very motivated after blowout loss. I think they misjudged their win, it's different OKC tonight.
