as a mav fan, im so disappointed. He is so busy complaining tends to forget that the celtics are running and converting. he is a hole in the defense, every celtics player can just blow by him and create offense or creating for others. terrible...
But you guys did all that talking.. and this is coming from a mavs fan also once I seen how 90% of the comments was Luka stans talking about how he's better than every player in the nba.. I knew the mavs was in trouble
And it's not even warranted complaining, it's the type of complaining you do because you're embarrassed you missed the shot, so you need to throw someone else under the bus, it must be someone else's fault... do players really think that this will make the refs more sympathetic to their appeals?
Remember when Luka was talking trash 🗑 to ANT 🐜 MAN during the WCF simply because he was up.. Now how does it feel..He's just a big cry baby... He hasn't played real NBA players in Europe and also Jwill just said it.. STOP eating too much burgers 🍔 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And it's not even warranted complaining, it's the type of complaining you do because you're embarrassed you missed the shot, so you need to throw someone else under the bus, it must be someone else's fault..
@@deleonfountain8220 The thing is that Luka has been doing that same move for the entire Finals. Celtics defenders are not locking their arms up under his.
This is not football! There are 2 sides of the ball in basketball. This is why players don't even try on defense. These analysts don't are telling them they can be the best without any defense at all. The Celtics are showing us that defense wins championships
@@jctslice yeah my 5 year old gets frustrated too, that doesn't excuse it happening over and over, grow up. it's not even warranted complaining, it's the type of complaining you do because you're embarrassed you missed the shot, so you need to throw someone else under the bus, it must be someone else's fault...
Exactly! The guy is at best James Harden 2.0 with those crafty drawing foul's ability.... and people call him Gifted... Wow! what BS has this world come to? Damn!
@@docvaliant721 so the difference with Wilt and the other guards is variety. Wilt was THE scoring machine but he did it with dunks, his fadeaway bank shot and his finger role. That's it.

Media is mad this morning their European golden child can't live up to expectations.. When others players foul, they don't make big deal about it.. KAT got fouls out in the WCF, I didn't heard about it
I remember some people acting like whoever came out of the west was going to win it all but I'm not even convinced the Mavericks could've beaten the Pacers
I totally agree with Jason Williamson Luka got to lose weight. Luka got to grow up plain and simple. He got to grow up. Luka hurt his team last night so bad it was embarrassing
Yeah,’ the ref were not calling soft fouls. Indeed, the Celtics draw 17 fouls, 6 were calling on Duka. If you are not calling soft fouls on both ends of the floor, why you fouled out the best player in the series?
You are the most skilled and brilliant host in all of sports. Get Up is absolutely great. Enthusiastic, critically positive and extraordinary poise you are my brother - Mike Greenberg you are showing every other sport hosts how to do it!!!!!!
thought all these Euro-ball players like Doncic & Jokic was going to school us on how to play Basketball, thought they was all takingover what happened?
Luka is one of the most dangerous scorers ever to play. But he also the worst defensive player out of every superstar before him. I've seen Jaylen and Jayson guard Luka for whole quarters this series. I also didn't take Luka as a crybaby. But this playoffs has shown me that a Diva might be developing right before our eyes. I get keeping the Refs honest, but he's in the refs faces every other play. Smh
Luka actually plays good defense from time to time. He just needs to be a lot more consistent and minimize the dumb plays. At this level, it just takes a few dumb plays at the worst possible moment and you are out of it. Just ask Halliburton. Just ask LeBron James against the Mavs. The honest truth is Luka has been the best on the court for both teams in this series. But the Boston TEAM is just better. They just keep coming at you. All five of them on the court. For the Mavs, all of the shots the supporting cast are normally making, they have disappeared. Maybe that is due to the Boston defense or it could be the pressure of the moment. Thus far, my only criticism with Luka is he has not come through at the end of the game in this series. Kyrie has also not been his normal best in this series. After the first round of the playoffs I thought the east was way weaker than the west. I thought the Mavs, Minnesota, Denver, and OKC would sweep the Celtics if either faced them. They were winning, but they seemed to struggle. They didn't have a dominating player on their team. They should have lost 3 games to Indiana. But somehow, they just keep winning. As a team. Everybody they put on the floor contributes as if they believe they are supposed to win.
Luka is obviously hurt. No lateral movement. He's already a below average defender, but on one leg it's easy to pick on him. Any hooper knows how much a knee injury like tendonitis affects your defensive ability. At least he's playing!
Yea but it really stood out last night tho. He was either dribble dribble dribble n throw up a bad shot or complaining non stop not bck on D giving up buckets
Starting lineup can't get 12 assists with ball stopper Luca as pg. As we should know thanks to players like Carmelo, you have very little chance to win a ring with your pg dribbling out the shot clock just to launch some circus fall away 3.
I’m tired of NBA (so-called) stars crying about calls!! They flop and purposely stumble around the floor trying to get calls. Just play smarter!! Luka gets a bunch of calls when he’s on offense and scores a lot of points for his team but he is not the “best” player in the league. The Celtics have a better team and that’s why they are up 3-0.
Mavs should have been having other defenders switch to on ball. Green should have stepped up to the ball when Luka has 5 fouls. Low awareness cost this series. Boston went at Dallas weaknesses and Kidd has no answers
The Denver Nuggets should have played Boston for the chip, iso - ball - hogs don't win shit. ...Luka's going to go the way of Kyrie Irving, 13 plus years in the league and won only once with LeBron.
I blame Luka's upbringing in Slovenia. He's never guarded yet never even seen a player of Jalen Brown's caliber before he came here. He has no idea what to do with anyone more athletic than him.
Just deliver your take with some conviction f f s....you don't need to preface your warranted criticism with all that glaze, we know he can score...we know
@@user-rv2cf3cg4g I pay no attention to,anything Jay Williams says. I used to, but then he went silly bonkers and I stopped. From here on I will ignore anything you write as well. Anyone who calls me a liar knows nothing about me.
If it was any other player getting his team with on knee to the NBA finals they would praise his demigod status...now that is luka....he is a bad defender...lolol...
@@ninjaewarrior4735 Iam saying that defense should not even be an issue for the things he brings to the table...not only that but since he is hurt you cant even judge his defence...the fact that he is still on court say more about him than anything else....
@ninjaewarrior4735 no but in every other aspect of the game he's carrying the team. Rebounding, scoring, and playmaking for everybody else. Y'all dudes kill me. Luka is the only reason they in the damn finals
Yeah but Lebron can play defense. His first like 12 years in the leauge he should have won DPOY a few times. In his later years he has gotten lazy on defense but still plays extremely high defense when he needs to. Just look at game 7 of the 16 finals
GAME PLAN HOW TO STOP THE MAVERICKS IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS TO HOW TO STOP THE LAKERS - Look for the laziest player on the opposing team which is Luka, just like LeBron who doesn't like to guard anybody, and go through him all the way to the basket BOOM !
IF YOU'RE A BELOW AVERAGE DEFENDER .. YOU CAN'T BE THE NBA'S BEST PLAYER ..
Yea that math just doesn’t work well
He's not even close to be the nba best player
These clowns, talking about best player in the world. Lol
You mean like curry?
He’s wayyyyy below average on defense
You can't be the best player in the world if you don't play both offense and defense.
Facts
Tell Joker lovers that.
How is this so difficult to see people? and they call him the face of the NBA? lol!
Luka defense: get blown by, or foul
Terrible defender!
hes big enough to let his presence be his defense esp at PG
and then complain
Luka needs to lose weight and get in game shape. He has too much weight on his knees. He's always gassed after halftime.
Exactly..he needs to bottle up those step back 3's until he has to shoot them..takes to many. Still a great player though
as a mav fan, im so disappointed. He is so busy complaining tends to forget that the celtics are running and converting. he is a hole in the defense, every celtics player can just blow by him and create offense or creating for others. terrible...

Don't forget also he refuses to push the pace and let's teams set up their defense. He drives me crazy with his selfish play.

To be fair, he's still better than the majority of NBA players.
Luka, the cry baby 😂😂😂😂
Get that man a box of kleenex 😂
Finally people are admitting how bad this guy is on defense.
How does Luka lock his arm up under JB's as he's trying to get by him and not be a foul? Makes no sense
Luka reached, jb pinned his arm. Could’ve gone either way but it goes back to the whole “should’ve never been in that situation”

100% agree with J Will
His defense has been a joke since he came in the nba
Luka could have been called for a couple offensive fouls. He would make space by pushing off and they didn’t call that. So I call this just justice
Most gifted offensive player ever? Really? What's wrong with you people? Mike? Kobe? Harden? Come on guys, this recency bias is getting out of hand
You don’t even name Wilt 😂 the irony in your post

Defense is all effort, no skill. Steph showed effort, Luka shows no effort whatsoever
People forget Luka is the reason they are in the finals!! BB IS A TEAM SPORT!! no show for most team. YOU can't win with 2 players!!
Bc Luka don't pass. The others are cold. They got to finals moving the ball n throwing Alley hoops!
3 games Celtics kept the Mavs to sub 100 points. Epic defence as a base for our offence
Luka is a phenomenal talent. He needs to lose weight…badly! It will help his defense and every area of his already spectacular game.
