Hey listen as mavs fans were are not saying luka is an elite defender (there might be 2 or more idiots) all we saying is that y'alls past seasons assessments on luka is clouding your present's judgment on his defense. He is a good defender, he's stats are starting to show it to y'all.
on a second note, I was one of those who said Luka is an elite defender when he wants to be, the key word here is when he wants to, because he does slack in defense a lot, but the statistic numbers do not lie, He has a 7'2 wing span and he was best in the league in post-up defense now I think he is second, he is top 10 in steals and iso defense, far best guard in rebounds. A ton of players are trying hard to get to these numbers and not get them, and then you see him slacking almost all the time and he still has insane stats. So I do not have any other explanation for this than he is a deceptively good even elite defender, if you can explain this any other way I would love to hear it in your next video....
Yeah I wouldn't say he's elite but he's definitely above average. He has moments where he'll get frustrated and stop playing defense but he's not a cone. Even when he's locked in, he may have moments where he ball watches but Luka in the post is solid. If he keeps it up rn and focuses like Kai and others are doing on d, he'll be fine. But it's not crazy calling him an elite defender in the post. All around he's just above avg.
@@62528354robi agreed. I believe Luka will turn it up even more in the playoffs tho. Playoff Luka is way more consistent so he'll prove to everyone he's the best player in the world and end the narratives
Dude read ONE comment above SINGLE mavs fan saying something egregious and now he is going to use that to hate on luka every game... Just stop pretending atp
Thanks for the reaction! 13:48 Hate to say it but Luka never gets called for performing the definition of traveling. Give the boy a map and a passport at this point. I guess we are in a league now that doesn't want to disrupt the flow of offense and remove all these new entertaining plays.
The replay showed that particular play wasn't a travel if you count the gather step, Luka was just extremely slow. He does tend to travel though. Imo the most egregious travel of the game was the Lauri dunk, it was cool but still a travel lol.
If you actually watch the nba as a whole product you would see that Luka is one of the guys who barely travels compared to other players because he cake from Europe where travelling is a actually called
Just like they miss when players carry the ball, they'll miss a travel. But Luka doesn't travel like that and this one didn't really look like it. And what does it matter? Bron gets away with travels, AG got away with two travels in the Denver game. Luka rarely travels and when he does they call it.
Mavs had 18 dunks, franchise record and they said it was the most dunks by a team in the last 20 years.
Yes sir.
This is about to become their playing style, and I'm here for it. Mavs have become the best basketball to watch hands down.
ZTAY my new go-to for reactions. Good stuff, man!
Luka to Kyrie lob is too cold
And after one or two plays luka tried a lob but didn't make it
Mavs are so fun to watch. Well around team now.
Us Mavs fans call this court the squidward court. Look at the paint. You can now never unsee it. You're welcome.
luka reminds me more and more of larry, srsly, the passes, the throwing motion... man i love luka!
Gafford definitely defends the pick and roll better then Lively
Them boys looking like Lob City out there!
Kyrie Luka duo😩♥️
Monster crew in effect!!!💪😤
Life long mavs fan. Haven’t had this much fun watching a game in years!
I imagine Gafford and PJ must love being with the Mavs. Looking forward to the playoffs!
This one gave us some highlights for real
Got yourself a sub! Keep up the good work!
you should become Mavs fan, cause it looks like you are enjoying Mavs games more than Lakers
Facts😂❤
Go mavs🔥
I had so much fun watchin the game
ZTAY You like Luka more and more, We feel You. Also GREAT WORK from You. We like You too.
Forget about the Flakers with their Mickey Mouse chips and worthless IST chips. Being a Mavs fan is where real basketball fandom is at.
Subscribe..I feel like your a mavs fan at heart brother

totally he is lazy, but sealing can be be higer IMO. Maybe in this years playoffs we will see supercharged Luka.

@@ginakymcwright3075 I agree overall he is an above-average defender, but if you take out those games when he slacks in defense you get elite numbers

As a Spurs fan it hurts me to see how easy throwing lobs is to some teams.. and we have a 7’5 target ffs
I would like to dub the mavs as the LOB GOBLINS
Mavs since the trade 💪
Two Months ago it's a blocking foul not no more. I wouldn't have called it either

Wow. I guess I didn't know what constitutes a gather step. I am learning something new. I thought for sure that was a travel@@BabyCalisthenics

@@BabyCalisthenicsno he doesn’t, he barely does it compared to others
