That's how easy Luka makes it. It's ridiculous how good he is. Dude has the athleticism of a 50 year old smoker in a wife beater, but will blow by you and knock your shoes off just from dribbling and crafty moves.

That's a bit much man.

Is it? Because Luka literally crossed-over someone so hard they lost their shoe man. It legit happened tonight. :lol:

As a Wolves fan think a win win trade for both parties would be Ja Morant for Daniels/Dillingham/Divincenzo.

That’s a horrible trade for the Wolves.

I wonder if he's even part of Grizz future core. I think they'll move on from him.

I thought they were gonna move him this offseason.

Yeah they should have. Honestly have no idea where he'd fit in. He needs to add on to his game. Rose added stuf to his game every season. I dont think JA is even close to the talent level Rose was though but he still needs to develop his shot.

Zion getting out on the Luka diet with LA would go HARD!

Luka throwing up lobs to Zion would also be must see TV.

Someone who gets it but in my trade, we keep Ayton, Luka/Reaves people would be mad as.

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually happened. :lol:

The first half is ok, just need to tone it down a bit on the 2nd half

, keep it B-ball related

Win or lose, Blazers with their sixth straight game with at least 10 steals and that's with Thybulle now out for weeks unfortunately. He had been playing very well for them.

He had the dog in him his first few seasons, but you’re right his game has really just leveled out. All these injuries have probably mentally drained him too. I think we might have already seen his best version.

Helps to have the refs on your side for some free throws

SlimShady83 · Post #273 » by **SlimShady83** » Sat Nov 1, 2025 4:48 am

I mean Ja Morant, perhaps the most average athlete in the NBA, somehow lucked into 2 free throw attempts. Meanwhile, Austin Reeves, perhaps the most fearless driver of the basketball, somehow only shot 7 more attempts than Morant. Such one sided officiating for the Grizzlies makes my blood boil.

That's not a jumpball, that's a clear cut foul. Unbelievable.

RRFB · Post #277 » by **RRFB** » Sat Nov 1, 2025 4:50 am

Blazers playing good D all night, but that jump-ball call was absurd. Horrible call.

Blazers being the best defensive team was on noones bingos card. Holding the nuggets to whatever they want

Teams will regret not trading for Jrue. He is a winner and I still think he can be the 3rd best player on a championship team team.

Who wins?
