lol Doncic

[Killakobe81]

I will say this was impressed by him last night despite the loss last night but ...
But some observations:

1. I love the way Doncic is able to blow by dudes like Siakam, Green etc. who are quicker than him. His range, smarts and footwork allow him to beat his man consistently even without screens to get on a big.
2. Dude not only has the harden stepback and between the legs in to the step back ... but he also pulls off the lob off the PNR to Powell/Jordan like Harden to Capela or Faried
3. His defense is trash but he fights for rebounds and has the smarts to be a good help defender
4. his vision is even better than I initially thought. I know amb was trying to downplay it when i made Bird comparisons but i see some of bird and some of Harden. HE is more fluid an athlete than Dirk in his prime and a much beter passer than Dirk. (and yes he is more fluid than Bird too) he even had a dunk in transition last night, where I thought he left from to far out and sneak dunked it ...
5. Dude should be an all-star. I know somw will argue Lebron had similar impact and did not make it his rookie year (along with plenty others) and mavs have not been a godo team but hard pressed to tell me Russ shoting as bad as he is on the year, Klay also been bad for stretches or Jamal Murray deserve a spot over Doncic.

He takes some bad shots, sure ... but so does harden.
Kid is legit.

[endrity]

^He better be more fluid than Bird and Dirk, he is considerably shorter. Dirk was incredibly fluid and mobile for a legit 7-footer.

played like shit and still got a tripple double. :lol

[monosylab1k]

His shooting numbers are probably gonna drop even more. Say what you will about DSJ & Barnes, but they were able to creat their own shot, now Luka is the only guy who can do that. Defenses will focus him even harder. I hope they aren’t serious about keeping Porzingis out until next year.

he takes some bad shots. Sometimes they are hero shots and sometimes trying to draw a foul he wont get.
But as long as he doesnt fall in to a habit he can't get out of once KP is (if) healthy and Mavs pursue better talent via trades ...
I think its fine to let him experiment ...he is not killing a playoff run or hurting the devleopment of a fellow young stud.
His development is more important than anyone else on the roster anyway.

They key is nurturing his creativity but in film study pointing out "the right play" or better shot so that when the Mavs do make the playoff with a better cast he doesnt fall in love with the "hero stuff".

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao “lucked out”

They did their homework and gave up significant assets to get him. They didn’t draft someone because his daddy kept yelling about it to the media :lmao
They also weren't the only team trying to get him. The Clippers were trying to move up for him, and so were the Bulls, Knicks, Nuggets, and Magic. Everyone knew how great Doncic was going to be - it wasn't luck.

If he wouldn't take at least 5 bad shots per game it would be better. He also pretty much creates all of his shots and are against a defender. And with all the last second shots from behind the half court line its no wonder his shooting % is low.

[clambake]

trail blazer loss is a non-issue

[Dirks_Finale]

Luka has a rag-tag roster. Everyone decent traded away and Barea out all year now. Amazing the Mavs are still winning games.

Ayton - 16/10/1 in February and 18/9/1 in March, not too shabby but to think he's outplaying Dončić is retarded :lmao

It's more than just one bad game. All of his shooting percentages (FG, 3P, FT) have been trending down.

I didn't say Ayton's outplaying him, I said they are trending in opposite directions. Especially in terms of impact on their team and winning games, and on the defensive side of the court.

But of course Doncic is going to average more points when he is the lead guard with the ball in his hands constantly, and Ayton is a center without even having a point guard on his roster to get him the ball.

His %s are trending down because all of his teammates got traded away so there's more pressure on him than there was pre all star break, it's got nothing to do with how he's "trending"

The Goods. Props son :tu

[Raven]

Already the best player in the nba at age 20. The question, at this point is whether the dallas front office and injuries will let his legacy be bigger than MJs. For people like me who knew about him since he was 14, it comes as fully expected, but it is still really enjoyable to see unfold.

[TimDunkem]

Damn fkla's takes are notoriously bad. He hasn't been the same since Jamal Murray took Derrick White's lunch in the playoffs.

How? Because he's white and can ball? Because that's pretty much the only similarities they have lol Bird can shoot 3's. Luka is shit at 3's. Bird got his assists from fast breaks and passing it in the post. Luka gets his assists kicking it out to 3 point shooters when the paint is packed. They're actually quite different.

[Luka Doncic]

Yeah Luka is nothing like Larry Bird. He’s more of a Harden/Manu type with better passing vision. If we’re gonna compare a white guy to Bird, then Jokic is a lot better comparison.

well then that means Larry and magic don't belong bc they were trash defenders, while bill doesn't belong bc he had virtually no scoring skills

lukas lazy, but when he locks in he's a solid defender, and plays passing lanes very well. imo that was the turning point yesterday, when he came in he was actually playing hard and good on defense, and that seemed to start the run. I know PG has been shooting like crap, but there were several times he tried to drive and score yesterday where Luka bottled him completely up and he couldn't even get a shot off.

the mavs need a draymond type player to hold everyone more accountable on defense. if they had him right now, they would arguably be the best team in the NBA

[Killakobe81]

:lol

Luka handles are so much stronger he has more floaters and even better footwork. Bird is the better shooter and rebounder but Luka like magic is an amazing rebounder for a PG hybrid ...

Bird was 24/10 and 6.3 assists for his career. Put him in this game with more possessions I see no problem with him getting the additional assists. Probably more rebounds as well. 27/12/10... easy.

I dont get why the Bird is GOAT camp is so dismissive of Doncic. Hecis not greater than Larry yet just daying he is on that trajectory.

Agree it was much tougher back then. It's scrimmages now, basically.

But have to give Luka props. He is extremely skilled and unafraid of the moment. That step back is deadly and it wasn't even a thing prior to Harden.

Yea, except even most scrimmages back then were way tougher than even these weak-ass playoff games. But good analogy nonetheless.

It's a copycat league.

Those stepbacks wouldn't be aplenty in a league in which defenders can physically jam you. That's just cold hard reality.

I have to think Bird would've developed something like that in the early 80's when he was his most spry had his finger not been cut off. It took him four or five years for his long range touch to return. With that high release and touch and his agility, he's the one who could've really got it done in that era. Even then, it wasn't like when he was in college. By the time he could've developed it in the mid to late eighties, there was no need playing on the most dominant front line in history.

Plus, I don't think teams appreciated the three analytics enough to build their systems for them. It's a shame Bird had that accident because what could've been for the quicker evolution of the three. On the other hand, it's just as well. We've seen what basketball has become with soft ball enablers like Stern and Stern Jewnior at the helm.

Do you understand what caused the change in the rules?

Because the game got so stale and boring the league was losing money...

The Hand Check Rule came along in 2004-2005. Well..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_on_television_in_the_2000s#:~:text=The%20NBA%2 0also%20saw%20its,dipped%20from%206.5%20to%204.9.
"In a down economy, after losing $100 million[13] on the NBA in 2000-2001, NBC was projecting a $200-million loss in 2001-2002.[14] The NBA also saw its NBC ratings[15] for the regular season fall from 4.3 in 1999 to 3.0 in 2000. Meanwhile, and the playoff ratings[16] dipped from 6.5 to 4.9."

I love the Spurs but in 2003 the ratings were a disaster for a finals that was defensive minded. Fans were sick of watching playoff games with the final score 77-75.. It's boring. The league changed it's rules to grow.. Fans were asking for offense.. You give the people what they want..

[Neo.]

lol and for anyone to act like defense was remotely played in the 80s when the offensive numbers were even more ridiculous than they are now, and the lack of effort was utterly pathetic. the only difference was intentional flagrant fouls were given out more often then, not because they were "tough" but because there was not much penalty to do so, nor much penalty to fight over it. today it's massive fines and suspensions.

:cry oh how dare these players not sacrifice $100k of their own money they earned so I can see some more pointless flagrant fouls and fights :cry

Bull shit. I was watching him every time Kawhi gut up on him. He was shitting his pants and calling for three screens. Bird would have no problem perfecting a crossover step-back for today's game. You're mighty stupid if you think otherwise.

You are mighty stupid if you cant appreciate how Special Doncic is. I love the 80s grew up on magic and Bird ...doesnt mean i cant appreciate how Steph Bron Luka have evolved the game. Yes its softer but also more skilled. Bird had extraoridinary skill for 1984 ...he would still be great in 2020 but not extraordinary. Same with MJ and Magic.

We should NOT downgrade legacies based on what the rules used to be in 1992..

The game changed because the fans asked for the change.. Nobody in the league mandated this in good times. The fans were changing the channel.. You seriously would rather watch a 77-75 playoff game? No thanks.. Same thing in the NFL..

Teams used to run the ball, and eat up the clock. Win games 13-10.. Wake me up..

Side comment, but watching some of these older clips, I can really see a lot of stylistic similarities between Bird and Dirk. Bird had better vision and was a better ball handler, but scoring wise they resemble each other a lot.

Luka's game is much more different though, a mix of Manu and Harden for me.

I can see why you'd think that. Truth is Bird has both of their games. Bird could've developed the crossover step-back 3 just like today's players; but that's not how the game was played back then.

IMO, he did under utilize the three; but hard to argue with his efficiency numbers. Antoine Walker (Celtics) had that game that many wish Bird had exemplified. Ironically, Bird said he needed to get on the block and punish teams much more.

Up until 2006, some 20 years after Bird's peak year, Avery Johnson was still pushing Dirk to drop his outside shooting and get on the block. While it obviously did help Dirk develop his high-post/elbow-extended game, it's also a sign of what seemed the "normal way" to play for so long. I am sure Bird would have been a killer from the outside if shot more from there, but yeah, that's the way the game went back then.

[Neo.]

im not kawhi fan whatsover, but he clearly has a wider frame, longer arms, and more strength than scottie or dennis did. just in terms of his physical characteristics, hes definitely superior to them both defensively. in terms of instincts and footwork... dennis was more of an irritant and hustler than just a lockdown defender when facing elite scorers. pippen was definitely a better man defender than dennis. kawhi seems at least equal to pippen in terms of defensive skills, but with his superior physical characteristics, id say kawhi has a very good argument of being a superior defender to them both

but the core of this discussion was that luka couldnt handle kawhis defense and bird could. stupid comparison for several reasons

1) we are comparing prime bird to 2nd year luka. stop.

2) luka has consistently been able to score or get clean looks with kawhi guarding him throughout the series, including times where he was clearly "locked in" on defense. this whole series ive only seen 2, maybe 3 times where he was actually able to keep luka from getting a look he wanted. but the majority of the time kawhis guarding him, luka finds a way to get exactly where he wants.

if the argument is "oh luka calls for screens, hes scared"... again stop. why would anyone intentionally face a strong defender for any shot (much less a do-or-die shot), if you have the ability to possibly face a weaker one? thats not fear. thats just smart basketball.

I’ve always liked Ayton and felt the comparisons to doncic and young to be puzzling.

Ayton has been productive and he’s a big man in todays small ball league. Doncic and young were known to be better offensive players and to an extent the Suns knew what they are getting with Ayton.

I still think Ayton will continue to improve and be a multiple time all star, maybe even all nba second team material.

This. The Ayton and Doncic picks worked out well for both teams. The Suns already had Booker and washed up Shaq is the closest thing Phoenix ever had to an all star quality big man, while the Mavs needed a dominant scorer to replace Dirk.

The Kings picking Bagley over Doncic was the decision that should be ridiculed.

listening to Kidd talk about his plan for next season i can already tell LUka will be pissed. ''we want Luka to play of the ball''.. ok, this was the first retarded thing he said... ''we gonna start Mcgee'', which means they will also have Wood, DFS and Dinwiddie in the starting 5. Which also means a lot of bricked shots... I have no idea, how much time do these retards in Dallas need, to figure out that all Luka needs is shooters.... I really hope he fucks off somewhere else, cause that franchise is garbage.

LeBron's nearly 38 and this is probably his last season on the Lakers anyways.

[Texas_Ranger]

yea, if LeBron was like 33, then id say there is a big chance, cause im sure Luka would love to be on the team with LeBron, but now that Lebron is close to being 40, no way.

[ambchang]

No way would doncic want to play with Lebron. These are alphas and they don’t want to play together with another alpha … oh wait, :lol todays nba.

[Neo.]

lol drob tanking to get another alpha on his team

Having a career altering back injury then breaking his foot is now tanking. :lol
