Rob? Dude has knees that are done.

Sure bro

Keep that same narrative when he’s sending Embiid to the never realm

Jayson Tatum when defended by Luka Doncic:

15 PTS, 5-8 FG, 1:57 matchup time

Luka when defended by Tatum:

2 PTS, 1-2 FG, 2 TO, 1 BLK, 1:12

NBA tracking had Celtics scoring 31 points on 12-19 FG vs Luka. Tatum allowed 6 points on 3-5 FG, 2 BLK

Luka is giving it all back on the other end

Idk if you watched but Tatum was constantly doubled at the 3 line. Doncic played 1v1 and sometimes drew help on drives...Tatum>

YIKES

Chris Forsberg
@ChrisForsberg_

He always has the best stats.

They showed some shocking stat about Luka shooting % vs. closest defender distance
He shoots much worse the more open he is
57% 0-2 feet
60% 2-4 feet
42% 4-6 feet
34.4% wide open...

crazy

Don’t guard him 😹

I heard something about him during the game that he’s only taken 2 3’s so far this season catch and shoot. All the rest are off the dribble.

He literally does nothing off the ball. He’s an offense stagnator, and whilst his personal stats may be good, it’s never going to transfer into team success because the ball movement is non-existent.

Luka 28 FG attempts in the game and Tatum only defended 2 of them.

big YIKES

Luka 42 pts, 60% FG, 9 AST, 8 REB against "an elite defensive team" and he's by himself, that man has no help rofl.

Tatum 37 PTS, 45.8% FG, 5 AST, 13 REB against a team with far fewer defensive weapons and playing on a team with other All-Star(s) and far more talent.


Right?

Think you’re looking at the stat wrong

Tatum had the ball against Luka, COOKS him. Does whatever he wants.
Luka had the ball against Tatum, struggled to get to his spots and even get shots up.

Nobody is comparing the teams. Everybody knows the Celtics have better defenders. But if you want, feel free to watch the game and watch Luka play 1v1 the entire game while Mavs ran 2 Tatum at the 3 line to get the ball out of his hands….

I expect Luka to put up more stats like that regularly too.
38.3 usage vs. 31.9 is a massive difference.

Luka has to play 1v1 because his team is shit. He's a far superior passer though compared to Tatum and it's not even arguable. If he had an actual good team around him he'd be leading the league in APG easily. He cooks everyone and absolutely dominated that game.

Eventually they'll get him some real help, and actually keep them around.

Although technically speaking, I'm very wrong with my previous Luka defense statement lol

Luka Doncic's defense this season:

3rd in Defensive Win-Shares
2nd in Defensive Box Plus-Minus
7th in Defensive Rating
3rd in Total Steals
2nd in Steals Per Game
