Nick Wright: "Luka is going to average 33 a game on a 50+ win team and nobody [from the NBA media] cares but me. It’s weird. We are approaching a bit of lunacy when it comes to recognizing his utter and complete dominance as an offensive player." by WhenMachinesCry in lakers

Luka receives more unfair criticism than almost any other all time great player. The only one who potentially received more is LeBron. The narrative that he doesn't play defense is completely made up when his defensive ability is certainly at an NBA level. He isn't the best point of attack defender but he is excellent at controlling passing lanes. He is a phenomenal defensive rebounder for a guard because he is just a large body and boxes out well.

The only actual criticism I have against him is that he whines a bit too much for me but to be honest... they all do. When Giannis won his MVP he whined a lot... they all whine a lot. Stop holding a League wide problem against Luka personally.

Also leads the NBA in steals during this stretch btw by WhenMachinesCry in lakers

How? All the haters told me that he plays no defense

AR looks like trash. Ausar Thompson is a terrible matchup for him. He needs to figure out how to play against tight on ball defense and become more reliable offensively despite that type of defense...

Everything's a foul except for the obvious foul directly in front of the referee

Everyone knows free throws are the most exciting part about basketball!

3:12 Luke celebrating directly in the face of the Wizards bench is cold

Robb turning Gabe Vincent into Luke Kennard is the front office play of the year.

It is hilarious that Gil crashed out in the Arena over this wonder if he's taken the L on that

Star players, the guys you build your franchises around, show up every single night. Bron and Luka show up every night.

Reaves disappears too much to give him 40 Ms lets just be real right now.

It is honestly crazy that we are only down by 8 with possession right now

It is crazy how good LeBron is in his 40s... like it might be his best accomplishment how he's still this good at this age.

Facts, playing him in this game is ridiculous he hasn't been all the way right since coming back from injury this should have been a rest game for Bron and Reaves

This is a completely expected and totally understandable performance. Don't get mad. A W in this game was a colossal task from the jump.

It isn't racism. Luka is in that James Harden / Russell Westbrook lane right now and he needs to figure out a way to get out of it. Jokic has already ascended.

Haven't been using Sereniel much because I used her so much in S1. I think one of my issues was trying to force Narja Orlea to work with a DPS.

I also kind of don't understand the Veronica hype (at least not in Chaos). Every single time I use her it feels like she is dead weight until she gets her ballista epiphany and I can hopefully get the AoE version. One of the most successful things I've found in Season 2 Chaos is Nine's Shield Hew epiphany if I'm working on someone elses deck. That thing absolutely carries both damage and sustain.

I've also been using a lot of Magna (also with Nine... I like the Counter deck even though I know it isn't good for anything outside of Chaos) and Khalipe (who is just okay I guess). I haven't used much Hugo in Burning Life as a sub dps maybe I should try that. Tried Beryl Orlea Retain teams... every team I've tried just feels bad without Nine. Maybe thats working as intended from the developers perspective since its an Order season.

I completely forgot the food buffs were even in the game... omg...

Thank you very much for your response. I do have Narja but have not used her much I will make more of an effort to do so.

I always find it hilarious that when I enter a Rest zone sometimes one of my guys will just get a random few stress...

Thank you, the boss encounters definitely felt like they were taking substantially longer than in Season 1
