You can talk about Luka being fat, cry-baby, bad conditioned, what should he do in the summer...after playoffs. I won't be here anyway.
He can and should criticize what he sees, of Luka's shape/demeanor/performance is detrimental to the team, then he should be called out, this isn't an exclusively team praising board, it's a discussion board, and everyone is free to pitch in.
I agree totally, I just wrote it badly in this last post. You were very quickly to intervene though.
He telling me about trolling and teaching me how Dirk has warned me is ok, I guess.
I have very similar build to Luka, "quick" is an accusation I very rarely get
We're pretty much hands off on moderating this board, just don't insult others and don't try to tell them what to do, I don't think ArchX went over the line.
It's a board designated specifically to discuss the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic is the franchise player and the team had a meltdown in large part because of his play in the last minutes, expecting people to not discuss what lead to it isn't reasonable, IMO at least.
FWIW, I don't think Luka's weight is a problem, I do think the perception the team has of him as a PG is a problem, and they should think of him as a PF version of Jokic who can be leaned on more to initiate offense, but this is a story for the off season like you said.
I do think Luka should tone down complaining by a lot, should read the room much better WRT calls and refereeing, and should work on his body language when he's being looked up to as the leader of team talent wise, and these things aren't equivalent to losing 10KGs or transforming his role in a PO series, these things that can and should be done by a professional athlete who strives to be the best in his field, he somehow was able to complain less and focus on BB more this game without waiting for the off season to improve, and it resulted in a great game, and go to the GB and see how everyone was raving about him.
