My wife Amy was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and starts chemo therapy tomorrow afternoon. We have felt really encouraged by our community and feel God’s presence through it all. Pray for strength for her and she starts this journey. We believe she will have complete healing, but it will be a long road. I’m thankful for all that have reached out in support of her. Please pray for her + my boys and I through this process

@Marsman__Melvin @haylow77 to be fair to you, most feel the same. but luka makes teams better than they should be which is what's happening now.
English

@jga41agher @haylow77 Every Laker game I tuned into I wasn’t moved but I respect and trust ya so I guess I have homework tomorrow
Will report after
I should note, Luka in my top 3 favorite non Thunder player
(Luka, Giannis, Ja)
Lakers aren’t a contender imo with Ayton and that may be why I’m biased.
English

@Marsman__Melvin @haylow77 then you just aren't watching. luka isn't having an off year at all. this is one of his best yrs ever. he's 1st in pts, 3rd in assists, leads in rebounds among guards, top 10 in steals... team is 3rd seed. one of his best years ever.
English

@jga41agher @haylow77 Imma watch tonight’s game in the morning. I think Luka is an alltime great but he’s had an off year and is finally stepping it up. That shouldn’t be rewarded imo. At 45 I’ve had a lifetime of the media and league bias for LA, call me jaded I guess. Still think Denver sweeps them.
English

did perkins hack your phone. they just beat denver, houstons 2X, clippers, minnesota in like 10 days. he's taken multiple teams to conf finals and nba finals. you're sliding hard into 'hating' territory. i think it's sga, luka then jokic/wemby
nobody had LA this good. nobody. and through all the injuries, they're 3rd in the west. ALSO when wemby sat out... san antonio kept weinning.
all i ask is remove the bias and watch the games. he's been THE reason LA is top 3 in the superior conference.
English

@jga41agher @haylow77 Yea I didn’t watch that game
Troll aside
SGA
Wemby
Jokic
Then it’s
Kawhi
Brown
Luka
Ant
in no specific order
Lemme see Luka cook an actual contender and then I may bump him over Jokic but I take in consideration the whole year.
English

@jga41agher @spursfan1060 @BobbyBeltTX when he is on the floor the nuggets have a 127.5 ortg. luka is 119. that's a major difference! and it's not like luka's individual efficiency (< 60% ts%) is better despite the fact that jokic has been worse since he came back from injury
English

@Marsman__Melvin @haylow77 you can't in good faith take luka over ant? what lmao? they played literally a week ago and ant had 14/2/4 while luka had 31/11/11... and if you're wondering ant shot 10 fts and luka shot 6.
watch the games. that's worst take ever lol
English

@jga41agher @haylow77 Is he deserving of first team? Obviously SGA is in. I wouldn’t take Brown just cause I don’t like him but I can’t in good faith take Luka over Ant. I love anything that resembles Manu, which is Luka, but knowing Laker tax is a thing with free throws and whistle it’s forced on us.
English

@kyleb77 do i think the team as a whole is a contender? tbd. do i feel luka has been one of the 3 most valuable players in the nba this season... easy yes. it's a team sport. but if we're doing individual awards let's look at the individual impact.
English

@spursfan1060 @BobbyBeltTX real question. why joker? seems he gets a pass for reasons that can only be found on a spreadsheet at the bottom of some filing cabenet
English

@jga41agher @BobbyBeltTX I have him in my top 5 MVP … but not 3… Wemby, SGA, and Joker
English

@Marsman__Melvin @haylow77 fun troll. luka is better than brown in points, rebounds, assists, steals, shooting percentage, effective field gold percentage and more. separated by 2 games while each guy dealt w injuries to key players and the east is significantly worse than the west.
English

@jga41agher @haylow77 I love Luka
He’s not better this year (by miles)than SGA
Browns having batter year
Cades a better 2 way player
Wemby, well, basically skinny Shaq from Mars that apparently is part Jamal Crawford
Lakers seem to always expect the most when doing the least.
English

@JRMaso93 @MeFanGirlOutlet what sga has done in the last month (closing and winning multiple games himself) is what makes up for that argument imo
English

@jga41agher @MeFanGirlOutlet As good as SGA has been, I’d argue he shouldn’t win it for the same reason Steph/KD were excluded in 2017-18, his team is still extremely good without him. Beating teams like Cleveland without him, J-dub, and Chet. OKC doing what is expected, Lakers overachieving.
English

Top 3rd?
He literally SHOULD be THE MVP by literally ALL definitions of the award.
There's no other way of putting it.
Jason Gallagher@jga41agher
If you don't have Luka Doncic in your top-3 in MVP voting AND first team all-nba then you deserve to have your awards vote stripped. Literally GTFO bc this dude has been unbelievable this season.
English

@jga41agher Jason, feel like we do this every year
Why is he so disrespected by the media when Jokic has the same flaws?
English

@haylow77 yes he did and i think he will this year. but they tried to take it away. they just don't like him.
English

@jga41agher Fair. But he also made first team all nba like every single year.
English


when luka and jj played golf together😭

Luka’s new hobby: Golf
English

@haylow77 as a dallas person, i can promise you this shit happened when he was a maverick. they just hate luka.
English

@jga41agher The lakers hate that emanates from media sites that influence this sort of discussion is clearly a part of it. If he’s doing this on Dallas he’s still the chosen one.
English

@Finishurbkfst23 @24Dparks that was 4 years ago. i'm skeptical he could do it again but if he does, it's bc he beat a 48 win team in the finals a few years ago. nba twitter claims to be advanced but the truth is, they're also victims of the 'ring culture' bs
English

@24Dparks @jga41agher Joker won MVP as a 6 seed. The media has it's darlings and it's villains
English

"I have Cade bc they have the best record in the Eastern Conference. And I have Wemby, they're 2nd in the West."
For whatever reason, team record has never mattered more to individual awards than it does right now. This is nothing against Cade or Wemby but please god... argue the merits of the individual AS WELL AS the team record. That's what we used to do. But boiling everything down to team record makes individual awards a stupid exercise.
And yes... it's Perkins. But he has a vote and he has influence and with these votes being public, you can absolutely see the trends of voters flocking with the majority out of fear of standing out.

Kendrick Perkins says Luka Dončić doesn’t deserve to make First Team All-NBA over Cade, Jaylen Brown, SGA, Jokic, and Wemby 👀 (Via @FirstTake / h/t @LukaUpdates )
