Shai still ain’t escape luka convos lmaooooooooooo, y’all not gaslighting us no more man. Them niggas in the same tier and i’m taking luka in the playoffs 10/10
"If Luka got thrown out of a playoff game for yelling at a ref, people wouldn't frame his next game as a valiant return to work."
Nick Wright RIPS NBA media for holding Wemby to a double standard.
Did you know… Nikola Jokic has the *exact* same number of WCF & Finals appearances as Luka Doncic. The only difference being he got to face an 7th seeded Heat while Luka teed off against an all-time #1 seeded Boston team in the Finals, so Joker has the ring.
Outside that title run, Nuggets have grossly underachieved. now going down 3-1 in a must win game vs Wolves team w/o Ant or Dante..
Jokic will now be 2-5 in the 2nd round.
Jokic has entered playoffs below a 5 seed ONCE, in ‘22 when he lost to Dubs in 1st round.
This season would be Luka’s first yr entering the playoffs higher than a 5 seed… & it’s the 4 seed. Despite this, he still has same number of WCF & Finals appearances as Jokic. All but one series has Luka entered as the favored team w home court advantage.
despite all this, the narratives around each player are grossly different. idk. I think it’s time Joker at least faces the same scrutiny they love to throw at Luka, despite one having a record of rising & over achieving, while the other under achieves & would rather be riding horses.
