I was at the game and you could tell he's not feeling good at all. BUT, his constant complaining and body language this PS has been the worst I've seen from him. He was constantly chastising both the refs and his teammates at the game today. ugh.

i’m maybe reds need to stop babying okc and treat okc like it a the playoffs … luka getting demolished but nope play on … *sga sweats* “foul”

luka motivates his teammates stop talking out your neck…. “he’s not feeling good bc he’s getting thrown around” but yu can’t contextualize what yu admittedly see. weird

Luka has been on the INJURED LIST this entire playoffs, or since Game 3 Clippers series. How is it that people ignore that?

He was only 50% chance to play today.

And he got 22 points 15 rebounds, I'd say that's pretty good.

What a weird thread to create lol.

There is a CLEAR reason Luka numbers are horrible.

I understand people love to say “no excuses if you’re playing” and I agree but anyone with eyes can see this man is affected.

Playing through a Injury can't be good, respect to Luka for doing It :)

He's hurt, was (is?) sick and his shot's been broken.

Just has to battle through. Knee won't be right during this run.

This can be a good learning experience for him. And Washington looks like the #3 guy Dallas needs.

Dumb take. He’s injured. Should he just check himself out like most stars or load manage?

He is showing his all-around value here. Don’t forget

i agree that this has not been the best playoffs for Luka (on offense). A bunch of factors obviously, mainly that he appears not 100% and that stylistically, Dallas is just emphasizing more on defense and Luka has some task there too so that's going to affect his play on the other side.

Yes, he’s getting banged around. He’s also dinged up. He also has acted like a spoiled brat this series, and I’m one of his biggest fans. And I know exactly what I’m seeing, and understand it. But grammar and spelling go a long way towards getting your point across, and if you can’t use either, please don’t respond with gibberish.

97% of all NBA players would still take Luka's "awful"

This years playoff stats
28.4 ppg
8.6 rebounds
9.1 assists

He is missing too many shots though, he was shooting it better when he was in his second season in the playoffs when he was 20. But he is also on the injury report before each of these games.
