Yes! Never thought I’d be so happy for Luka to lose. Now get your recovery beer back from Mike Finley…
The last thing he needs is more beer.
Luka is a bonafide hooper. Never have to worry about his love for the game like some of our American players. Sometimes you gotta protect a hooper from himself. All they know is hoop!
Whoa. I can't believe how many games he's played since I saw him play here in the Philippines last year. People can say whatever they want, but the truth remains: Luka is really built different.
Shout out luka man 🤝 what an amazing year from the DON💙🤍
I am from Greece i travel 5 hours to see Luka and the experience was amazing to see him playing... Luka for sure he needed rest from basketball... As Mavs fan i am happy he will finally will get some rest ... This year he will be much better and for sure he will be the MVP!!!
Feel for him man. I know how much this means to him and his country. He has the entire weight of that country on his shoulders. Sucks.
His body desperately needed the rest and this won’t do anything besides piss him off even more! Losing in the finals and missing the olympics will motivate him to
The fat caught up with him in a big way @@jaysmith4357
Well done on the thumbnail Nick 😂
This Slovenian team was bound to go nowhere. Players don't play for their teams.. Sekulič was never really "good".. 4 years ago we were good cause of euro 2017 spirits were still high. 2 years ago (at eurobasket) we were unable to reach full potential. And this year, we straight off sucked. The entire coaching staff needs to go. We played terrible against Croatia, badly against New zeland (even if we won) and today, Greece confirmed how bad it really is.
So it's really best for everyone.. loosing as early as possible.
Locked on Luka getting rest thank goodness 😅
It’s July 6th wtf you want him to talk about other than Luka in the Olympics? Dennis smith jr? Lmao
Hope he can completely recover from his injuries and condition his body better so he doesn't get injured in the playoffs next year
Luka plays at a slower pace but still needs to be able to accelerate for a few steps on his drives to put the defender on his hip. If you were watching the Mavericks for most games, you can see the difference in how Luka was playing. He played even slower and did not drive very much toward the end of the regular season and even less scoring out bursts as the playoffs proceeded. Luka will win several championships, but he must learn to guard his health and learn to score the 35 points in under 35 minutes per game. Fortunately, the Mavericks are going to a deeper team this year.
Nick , hope you keep covering the Olympic tournament every day. Dante Exum is going to be playing a key role and major minutes for Australia as the ball handling point guard ...
Little correction, Luka's "rest and recovery" is never, and has never been a priority or he wouldn't have been playing basketball 9 days after the Finals ended.
If he cares about the chip, he'll come into the best shape he can be and it should be noticeable. And for goodness sakes i hope he gets a handle on his emotions.
i know slovenia has a game to play also. it for the world cup qualification. it the 1st window of the world cup qualification?
Locked on Slovenia ends 😢
Thank goodness he lost, now he can sit down down
Let's be real, that Slovenia team wasn't very good besides Luka and he'd kill himself just to keep them competitive. An early exit benefits everyone.
I feel bad for feeling this good!
Dallas should pick up Poku for a year and see if he has anything he can give us on BOTH ENDS. He gives you everything as a seven footer. Three point shooting (16-44 36% last year), passing and rebounding (actually had a triple double as a 21 yr old), points per shot (1.28 last year with charlotte), blocks AND STEALS (had 2 blocks or steals in a game last year FIVE TIMES in very limited minutes) and he’s young and cheap. He went one pick in front of Josh green and perhaps he was the guy we should have ended up with. There’s a certain passive nature to his game you would need to beat out of him (mama’s boy) but in his “revenge game” vs OKC he had 14 points and nine rebounds in 21 minutes in a three point loss. That’s a lot of production for the 15th guy on your roster. He might still be 2-3 years away but I’d wear him out between our bench and Legend’s games until he finds his confidence in his shot. Because once that thing starts going in he will skyrocket in value. This is a guy Luka could take under his wing. This team needed a spark off the bench vs. Boston which sure as s*** ain’t coming from Morris.
AND NOW HIS WATCH HAS ENDED !!!
Nick laying out the whole Luka storyline during last year makes me realize even more how absolutely hectic and crazy it was. Now, what it seems for the first time in his whole career Luka is finally able to get some rest and work on himself, his family and his game in a chill manner for these next few months. Good job Nick :D
sad that they didn't make it to the olympics.
Much love to Slovenia!
Cheers! Love Luka n the Mavs 🏀🍻
So many mixed feelings, yes I hate seeing our boy lose but then again idgaf about slovania so I'm happy he can recover from injuries 🤣😭
Mixed emotions for sure
Not mixed at all. Luka needs rest
Come on man, we are used to be mixed with Slovakia, but "Slovania"? Really? 😂
And now his watch has ended!
For now.
Leave it to Nick .
after the first period actually Slovenia played excellent Giannis and this can be even seen in his stats. Luka was literally playing/running on fumes still he was the only player together with the American .

Now he drinks🎉
Olympic is just a hard thing to join. Only if they cut off some requirements to qualify.
Luka just fell on his back at team shower after game vs greece, he could stand up for 10 mins...
as old folks say, he is 25 has young legs get it out your system. so when luka is 27, 28 + hopefully its less appealing
Luka needs to get proper rest. I mean, not even play pick-up games for a while.
Thank God he lost. Now go rest your knee and get ready for next season. Clown me for tooting against Slovenia. Idc🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
They are expected to lose. What do u expect
@@3xtasy777 I wan’t them to lose as quickly as possible so we can get ready for next season. And it’s what I got. Now Luka can rest that knee
dude looks hungover---or to many cigs---Nick or Luka?
I don’t buy Luka’s injuries like that. I’m not saying that he isn’t hurt but how do you explain him playing extremely well one day in the playoffs then horrible the next? I believe the injury narrative is to assist in lack of defensive effort and him arguing with refs.
shut up
Trade idea for Mavs. They send Kyrie to Lakers for their 29 and 31 first round picks and 28 or 30 pick swab (all three should be very valuable as the Lakers will suck in a few years). Send those picks plus the Mavs 2025 and 2031 picks to Utah, along with Maxi and one or two of their young guys (Grimes, Hardy, O-Max, etc) to the Jazz for Markennan. The Mavs have too many wings anyway that they won't be able to play.
Lauri is 7 foot tall, shoots 40% from 3 on 8 shots per game and high efficieny on 2 pointers as he is able to get inside (8 shots per game there too). His timeline matches with Luka's. He is 7 ft tall comapred to Kyrie 6'1 and 32 years old. Explosive guards like Kyrie don't do well getting into their mid-30s.
Lakers send Russell to Mavs as their backup guard, and see if you can pry Reeves out of them too. Salaries will work out, Mavs get a decent backup guard for 1 year till they figure out another for the following year. Or send Russell to Utah for Sexton.
Don't touch my spirit animal Kai. Don't worry about his explosiveness in 30s.
Why every time Luka lost is always due to injury. Luka is just outplayed by better teams and better players. Jason Tatum and Giannis baby.😂😂😂😂
Yeah you know your staff, Mr. Perkins.
You have a learning disability if you think Tatum is a better player or outplayed Luka at any point.
@@oblivionpro69 6-1 this season
@@WOLEX78 And Luka was better in every of thse games despite taking knee injections for months while Tatum had month of free time :D
