Luka had bad turnovers agains Suns in Q3, and Kidd should have rested him immediately, when it was obvious he was spent, in back2back and playing nonstop in first 3Qs. But normally Luka and Mavs TOs are not problematic. Mavs are always between better teams with TOs and all ball dominant players have a lot of them. Luka's problem this year is conditioning and bad shooting, which force him to makes very hard for each point. More than good ballhandler Luka needs good scorer beside him. Someone, who can create in Q4 for himself. KP is total disappointment in that regard and I doubt Brunson is long term answer either.


OT -- Someone on Twitter is claiming that Goran is mulling coming out of NT retirement to play against Croatia in June 30th, did you hear something?


Yes, he will supposedly play WC qualifiers against Croatia. Nobody knows, if that will be his farewell match or he will go on Eurobasket too.

I think Luka're better off losing weight as the playing style involve a lot of spinning and turning of ankles. The extra bulk may put too much pressure on knees and ankles.

Barely got any extra bulk. Honestly, people need to stop listening to steven a and the likes. The same people say jokic got himself in shape, but he is a lot less trained yhen current luka

Luka is taking his frustration on poor Croatians.

Goran still has a lot in the tank, but not in the free throw shooting department

Slovenia barely beats Sweden, Luka with a turnover that almost lost Slovenia the game, he had a great skyhook that didn't count

If Luka just improves his FT shooting we can see the teams scoring go up 2 to 3 points more per game. His game improves at the 3 point line then we are scoring much more.
