Coasting? Letting your team lose multiple games to tanking teams?

Not my BitW
 
Pretty much where everyone but Dame Lillard predicted "loyalty" would lead him. A wasted prime.

Wasted? Nah. Dame situation in Portland has been pretty good :lol. Him and them maxed out their ceiling in 2019. A WCF appearance

There really was no realistic place at anytime over the last few years he could’ve gone too.

And dude wants the max money and to be the man. Portland gave him that.
 
I mean LeBron is listed at 250. Luka comes into camp outta shape every year. Doesn't seem like a reach to me

different body types. 250 on Bron looks way different when on a husky dude like Luka.

and even then they been boosting how much Bron weighs for years.
 
Millsap out there looking thick too

Well Luka Doncic def isn’t in shape. Dude sweating grease when it’s crunch time.

damn, these dudes can afford healthy foods chefs etc. no excuse. I’d live in Whole Foods if I had that type of money.
 
Everyone is different tho.

When I was 220 people thought I was 200 max.

with all due respect, we are talking about a high usage guard that plays 85% of the season and then plays for his country in the summer.

more than anything the number is arbitrary. We still think Chris Paul is 175? No it doesn’t matter because he’s playing high level basketball.
 
EYE find it very funny that two of the biggest young stars (Luka and Zion) have gained alll this weight while living in two of the fattest states in America.

That culture rubs off :lol: . 🇺🇸

Luka was not like this in Madrid, he couldn’t. They take weight too seriously over there.
 
He wildin if he doesn’t have a chef tho, should only pop out for food on special occasions if he really got a weight problem…Eating out in Texas doesn’t lead to healthy cuisine :lol:

Luka had better structure at Madrid. That’s the truth. RM would have never allowed this weight gain.

Naw yo was def chubby, remember he was pro at like 15 years old at least 220 lbs :lol: …Looked like he wouldn’t be “athletic enough” for the league due to how he looked on the court

Yea but that was when Luka was on the second team. The under 18’s where it’s more relaxed

But once he made the first team and was starting. He was in his best shape.
 
Not sure why Chuck is going at AD so hard to start Inside. AD hasn't been perfect, but he's been really good.
I don’t understand going at AD or even Vogel.

AD is #1 in the league in paint points and points off post ups. His jumper is off & occasionally defensively he gets beat by a quicker guard/wing on the switch but by & large he’s still been a superstar.

The problem is the team doesn’t any defensive perimeter talent. AD at the 5 and you switch everything 1-5 so he ends up on the perimeter. Then guys get beat off the bounce so he has to rotate 30 feet to protect the rim.

It’s the exact same problem Utah had with the Clippers defensively
 
Luka being 260 is completely believable. Tall and very clearly a little husky. Just a different kinda body type from most in the league.

It was alsways going to end with AD, Vogel, Russ or Melo being the scapegoat.

They’ll all get their turn at some point. Toxic
