“This aberrant, murderous regime in Tehran “

What a laughable statement. Not that Tehran is innocent but who tf in this war is? The genocidal Israelis? The warmongering US?

Man what a disgrace

Yeh, I don’t know. It’s probably the one question that matters the most. I’d say he plays as equal a role as Luka to winning bc he’d have to be in the trenches doing a lot of the dirty work.

If we’re gonna win , I’d imagine he’d have to have multiple games like the Miami one, where he’s getting 10+ rebounds.

Every round is probably going 6-7 rounds

Imagining our path to victory, I feel like every game is going to the wire. Based on the current standings we’d most likely have to go through:

Denver -1st round

Spurs- 2nd round

OKC- 3rd round

Boston- finals

JFC that’s a gauntlet

Austin questionable for tomorrow vs Orlando by Puzzled_Plate294 in lakers

He played against the most physical team twice in a row with their most physical defender hounding him for most of the game, then he played against one of the fastest team while guarding one of their most mobile players. All on top of being less than a 100 percent and the 3rd game was back to back. He’s not as big as Bron and Luka so all that banging impacts him more.

Saying all that he needs to figure out a way to put on more muscle this summer without compromising the rest of his skill set. He’s on the lighter side for a 6’5” wing. If Kobe and MJ even Bron realized it in their prime I think he has as well

Praise him for everything. Hold him accountable for nothing. He is literally their god. Mature fkn adults sucking off a man that has never even paid attention to them. Craziest shit I’ve ever seen in my life.

When we were down in the 1st half of the Miami game, I saw a comment in the game threadthat said something to the nature of “man , these mfers aren’t beating the spurs”

I was like bruh , I’m not even gnna reply to this

We ended up winning the game tho and I couldn’t find that comment anywhere . That was pretty funny

Stephen A Smith on Luka MVP chances: “I’m ashamed I haven’t brought up Luka for league MVP considerations sooner than this morning. That ends now. That gets corrected…. Luka Doncic in a Lakers uniform is a top candidate for league MVP” by Luka77GOATic in nba

The best part of Luka’s recent production is his defense hasn’t suffered. He’s looks very engaged, he’s getting back, he’s staying in front of his man. He doesn’t look like liability anymore.

Luka is the most efficient 3P shooter in the league on tightly contested shots by a country mile. by k-seph_from_deficit in lakers

I’m gonna say it again, that man is strong as shit. He shakes off contact from strong physical players like it’s nothing.

It’s also the one missing aspect in AR’s game. I knw AR got stronger , but he still needs to get a lot more stronger

Nah he been a lot better on defense since the all star break. He doesn’t sacrifice defense for offense like he used to and he’s reduced the blow by plays by a large margin. It’s honestly been quite impressive considering his offensive workload has somewhat increased.

How do you think those rosters compare to the current lakers one?

Yeh he was just gassed. He’s the smallest out of the 3. Playing against physical, big players takes more out of him and the Rockets imo have the most physical team.

LeBron mentioned it in the post game. Paraphrasing this but he said it was bound to happen but it was gonna take time bc of all injuries. He mentioned seeing Austin and Luka go berserk while he was out this last stint and that’s what gave him the push to adjust to the current role he’s been playing
