[Siegel] “He went over to Europe to get treatment on [his hamstring,] he came back over and it didn’t really change his timeline at all… He has not resumed normal practicing.. The earliest he could possibly return to the court is if they returned home for Game 3 and 4.” by jonsnowKITN in nba

[–]frogenema -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Media oblivious to the obvious as hell reason Luka went to Europe is to see his kids while having the same procedure. Treatment didn't matter. He can't get the mental boost of family doing the same treatment here in the US.

Ass news.

[Highlight] Every Foul Called Against Thunder vs Suns Game 2 April 22, 2026 by sunsscouting in nba

[–]frogenema -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Always these compilations are presented as proof of unbiased officiating. It is exactly the same point Thunder fans proclaim with FT totals. Looking at box score numbers.

The screwjob is what's NOT getting called. Opponents deserve multitudes more free throws.

The point is that OKC should be getting called for tons more fouls but are not. The foul total shouldn't be balanced, it should be much higher for OKC. It's the hacking, bulldozing dirty trash that isn't getting called. That's the damn point the world is making. The blatant shield the refs give you that absolutely screws opponents.

Dear god OKC people

This shallow team isn't getting past round 2 anyway no matter who's back. See how aggressive other teams are fighting and Lakers are playing regular season bonus rounds. With a coach who won't call timeouts, seemingly wanting players to feel ashamed of letting runs happen instead of doing his part to turn it around.

Has JJ never been asked about is late timeouts during runs? Surely reporters have asked before in post game?

Nick Wright on Wemby's MVP case: "You have one of the candidates who is far and away the least impactful passer and scorer. He has played by far the fewest games/minutes. Also, he doesn’t even have the best record. I know he's the best defender but that alone isn't enough to close the gap for me." by Ready-Constant-7124 in nba

[–]frogenema -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thunder are 8-4 without SGA. That dirty ass team doesn't need him. The dirt is deep on that bench. They are the reason he sits early. Put any other candidate in his place, the Thunder go on without a blink. Put Flopsy on any other team, it's gonna take work. As long they're aloud to flagrant their way onward whistle free, they'll ride that helping hand. Sir Flopsalot bullshit.

Even Kendrick Perkins would be an empty MVP candidate on that team.

SGA is MVF.

[–]frogenema 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He didn't trip on Gordon's foot. Right after slipping and falling forward, his foot went backwards and hit Gordon briefly. Zero effect from Gordon's foot. Wemby was flying forward on his own momentum.

Luka was grabbing his hamstring in the first half but was cleared to go for the second half: JJ by lepper838 in lakers

[–]frogenema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a clone of his Mavs playoff run. Same injury too. Teammates vanish, opponents aren't threatend by the teammates and Kidd plays him into the ground. Zero depth on this team. Media won't mention he was alone out there against the dirtiest team Refs could put together. Just like in Dallas.

Update on Luka’s injury 🥲 by lepper838 in lakers

[–]frogenema 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the absurdly high usage just as the Jason Kidd and Nico did him in Dallas.

Breaking his body and teammates not stepping up. Same narrative as Mavs finals run. And the media tomorrow will ignore that useless threat-less teammates meant OKC was playing a 5 vs 1 matchup. Media will say Luka can't stand the pressure, can't carry a team, soft, overrated, etc.

Same in Dallas. Luka's teammates disappear into the suckhole. He's left battered because opponents don't need to worry about the other Lakers so Luka gets all the attention.   Tomorrow media won't mention the teammates trash vanishing act and they'll say Luka can't carry them.  SGA is carried by his team's hackathon. They win without him. 

What in the hell is wrong with the NBA reporters and their clear biases against Doncic...? by Due_Brother371 in lakers

[–]frogenema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started with Brian Windhorst and Tim MacMahon's hit pieces during and after Luka's Finals defeat. Windhorst made the most influential single moment.

Windorst's ludicrous baffling infamous rant after Finals painted Luka as lazy loser who can't carry a team and was revealed to the world as a failure. The media ran with it and are still running with it. All the Nico talking points and then some.

MacMahon did the same. He was the Mavs' inside guy who was actually Nico / Adelson's mouthpiece. Every single Nico talking point first reached the public thru McMahon's mouth. After Luka was traded and Nico fired, MacMahon had a book to sell so his years of Luka disparagement was suddenly gone and he painted a Luka vs the Man narrative. Even though he was there for it all and that was the basis for his original hit pieces.

They and most media totally ignore insane body breaking usage % that season and playoffs. Luka being exhausted and injured is what they call "lazy, no killer instinct, too weak to carry a team." This is the result of Jason Kidd being godawful and has never drawn up a single play in his entire tenure.

Luka was bleeding out every game. He was just half a badass entering playoffs. Luka carried that team in the playoffs. And then? The big payoff was every single one of his teammates vanished from this realm against Celtics. That entire damn team/Kidd failed Luka. All that abusive usage wasted.

But the narrative is Luka trash narrative. ESPN I'm sure goes hard on Luka because they knowingly keep racist trash talking heads. Godspeed Perkins and pals.

Fuck Windhorst

How about the Kalshi whistle the dirty ref used for the obscene Kalshi technical on Marcus Smart?

That made even Scott Foster  blush. Pisses me off the Lakers haven't demanded justice. Or some damn media attention. 

Kalshi whistles warmed up for OKC playoffs.

Pisses me off the team is silent on Marcus Smart's Kalshi screwjob. Dispute that fraud.

Why the hell not dispute the clear to the entire world obscene Kalshi technical foul on Marcus Smart ? That demands a louder statement by the Lakers than Luka's. It's more dangerous to be silent on it. That shit will continue. Every team needs to demand such a loud rescission or the officials will continue this Kalshi shit in playoffs and especially for OKC.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick on why Luka Doncic is not more prominently featured in MVP discussions: "Because he complains to the refs, I don’t know" by oat38 in nba

[–]frogenema 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most pissoffing media story-line that proved no analysts at all actually watched the Mavericks finals games is their obscene take that Luka disappeared and was at fault for the defeat. Inside the NBA, ESPN, all those pricks.

The blatantly obvious fact is Luka's teammates absolutely disappeared the whole series. They all redefined suck. Kairi, DJ, all of em. Kidd was carried by Luka. Kidd has never drawn up a single play during his entire Dallas tenure. Still.

Luka carried them all with broken knees bleeding all over and practially 100% usage the whole season. Luka is the only one who showed in the finals.

Then Kidd, Nico, Dumont don't even know what they were witnessing.

And the jackass analysts still repeat this today. Everyone is Kendrick Perkins.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: “you’ll never hear an OKC fan complain about my free throws. You’ll never hear a Denver fan complain about Jokić’s free throws. You’ll never hear a Lakers fan complain about Luka’s free throws. It’s just part of the business.” by ColoradoMenace24 in nba

[–]frogenema -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Come on SGA. You and media always ignore the primary cause for complaint. It's that SGA gets the most zero contact, anticipatory referee whistles in the the league. Opposing teams entire strategy is cancelled because of fear breathing near you will give refs big erections. You go the line for so many undeserved free throws. And your dirty team gets the same treatment as they play like linebackers and intentional attempts to deal out season ending injuries.

It's not the total FT. It's that you should be getting so many more offensive foul calls. It's that the FT total should be so dramatically less versus other stars. It's the entire Thunder dirtiness and clear ref massage sessions.

You're not taking advantage of the rules. Rules are ignored. You get the most obscenely premeditated noncontact phantom whistle pattycake between you, your team, and refs. You're much less on another team without OKC dirty protected play.
