@CuffsTheLegend I mean. They could win rd one as a home fave and then against inexperienced Spurs. It just takes OKC being a bit banged up and then Lakers would be favourited against anyone in East except a healthy Boston

No they CANNOT LOL!
We just gotta enjoy this hot streak and cherish these Luka & Bron moments 😂🔥
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
Don’t know who needs to hear this: the Lakers can definitely win a championship this season. Imagine that.
English
@AndrewDBailey The correct take. Objectivity isn’t hard when you observe reality
English
The "Luka is not 1st Team All-NBA" takes were absolutely ludicrous. And they look dumber with each Lakers game.
Having him behind SGA, Jokić or Wemby in the MVP conversation is defensible, but that line is bending.
Plum@Plumguyhayes
@AndrewDBailey According to ESPN, he's not even 1st team so idk
English
@BenHowardOPT Tbh yes but also and moreso prisoners of bs narratives that drive sports debate for casual fans. Cuz it’s not like he wasn’t excellent before he was just on a small stretch being somewhat worse and he was never bad defensively despite the narratives.
English
Y'all are truly prisoners of the moment.

I believe Luka Doncic has entered the MVP conversation, if he hasn’t already. 40 and now 59 points in back-to-back nights.
English
@ohnohedidnt24 Wdym you don’t know sir. That’s 100% the reason. It’s also the reason all the sports guys who only watch NBA after the SB think he’s a terrible defender. Because of clips of him complaining to the refs
English
JJ on Luka not being talked about more in the MVP convo:
"Because he complains to the refs, I don't know" 🤣

@TeamLou23 Don’t let your producers force you to make objectively bad opinions ever again

97.97% of brackets eliminated so far. Not me. Would be wild to make it through day one but I doubt it. Still fun to see. #marchmadness

@nylaabell I like the word amendment because I think that’s a more appropriate than removing. I believe opening up third team and 2nd team defence to all players would satisfy everyone. Especially since there are financial considerations for both players and team.
English
One of the clearest cases of why there needs to be an amendment to the 65 game rule
Bobby Marks@BobbyMarks42
Cunningham has 60 qualified games played and is currently short of the All-NBA criteria. The Pistons have 14 games remaining. Cunningham earned All-NBA last season and as a result, saw his rookie max extension increase from $222M to $269M.
English
@BillSimmons Nobody would object but a better solution would be to open third team all nba and 2nd all defence to all players. Especially since all nba has financial implications for both players and teams. Teams would rather injured 4th best player get 3rd team incentives than healthy 22nd
English
If Silver announced today that he’s changing the MVP/All-NBA minimum from 65 to 62 (20 games missed max), would anyone object? Just admit you made the number too high and fix it on the fly. Cade missing out on All-NBA would be outrageous.
English
@BobbyMarks42 They need to open up third team all nba and 2nd team all defense to all the players. Especially since it effects incentives. Having guy 4/5 not make 1st team isnt crazy. Having him not make 3rd team for guy 22 is a bit wack

Just in: Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung and is expected to miss an extended period of time, sources tell ESPN.
English
@mollyhannahm They need to open up third team and 2nd team defence to all players. It’s not that weird guys 6-8 make first team if there are injuries. But having guy 4 not make it at all while guys 22-25 make third team is weird. Especially since there are financial incentives
English
i have not spoken on the 65 game rule because i’m ultimately not super passionate about it, but this cade situation is the first thing that’s really pushed me over the edge. he’s had an all-NBA season and absolutely shouldn’t be penalized for a collapsed lung with 14 games left.

@adryanashton Imagine him in Jordan-era defensive rules. Always facing one-on-ones or hard switches allowing a free cutter to the basket. What do the MJ stans say? He would average 50-20-20
English
@NewMediaSports_ I’ll kindly correct you a bit. It’s always been a false narrative, at least relative to his player archetype. It should* just be dead in the water now. Until next year anyway
English
”Luka doesn't play defense“ is just a false narrative now.
Italo Santana@BulletClubIta
Luka stole the ball from KD and then started talk some shit to a Rocket fan
English
This not impressive when your guarding the 5th option every game
LakeShowYo@LakeShowYo
Luka is allowing just 0.84 points per possession in 109 isolations 🔒 That’s nearly identical to Amen Thompson… and better than Jaden McDaniels & OG Anunoby 👀 (via @KellyIko)
English
@BobbyMarks42 .. but.. if two more teams were competing then it wouldn’t be that way. It’s a result of tanking.. not talent. That feels pretty clear
English
We might want to rethink expansion after looking at some of these scores the past couple of nights.
In the past 2 games, Brooklyn has trailed by a combined 60 points at the half.
English
@NekiasNBA Imagine this guy in Jordan era defensive rules. Always one on one or hard double teams like this leaving an open roll man to the rim? Would average 50-20-20
English
never ever ever ever ever ever take the luka doncic playmaking for granted
