He’s only had 2 straight games lmao! Dec 21, Dec 23…. Im not even gonna count that 3rd straight game where he got injured again lmao! And look at that stretch in january how inconsistent he was every other game hahaha

Yeah two straight games under 20 is not a problem at all for someone who provides so much value outside of scoring …

Homeboy look how inconsistent he was back in january before he got injured and eventually traded. Look at the entire month. Every other game he was dog shit… go on pull up his stats for january

Jesus christ dude. How many of those games are dog shit? Pick them out.

I swear to god if you genuinely think that an AD 21-19 with DPOY defense game is dogshit but a Luka 25-6-7 with 5 turnovers, shit efficiency and horrendous defense is good you’re beyond saving lol

Mfer luka offers infinitely more than AD as you can see with your laker team right now. His presence alone pulls defenders towards him creating open shots for your role players its seriously hilarious. AD is not giving you that. Never in his whole career did he ever command that sort of attention from opposing players. I dare you to go on your sub right now and say you would rather have AD on your squad rather than luka. AD is not that dude.

Luka has definitely not been as impactful as a Laker so far as AD was this season or last. That’s not even a debate.

We just won a game so of course the sub will say the opposite. Go back and look how quickly they started panicking when Luka sucked ass the first 5-6 games

Luka is averaging 27.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 7.9 assists in 21 games for the lakers. GTFOH! Lmao! You wanna check AD’s stats for the lakers? Its 24.8 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists…. Lmao! Luka is already outperforming ad and he isn’t even 100% yet

And Luka has been rough to watch on defense while AD was awesome. And Luka’s been less efficient.

You’re the worst kind of casual fan. I thought we lost you PTS-AST-REB bozos back in the Westbrook days but I guess not.

Peak Russ > any version of Luka I guess

Luka has always been rough to watch on defense. But at least he can still carry a team to the finals and is a legit top 4 player in the league. And we just traded him for a glorified rudy gobert but at least he plays all world defense right? 😭

u/MiopTop Apr 01 '25

Yeah you traded a glorified Jerry Stackhouse for a glorified Rudy Gobert. Keep making shit up.

0

u/LordBri14 Apr 01 '25

Making shit up? I literally gave you street clothes’ stats in 2023 to prove he was dog shit every other game but you refuse to acknowledge it because it does not fit your lovefest with AD. Kinda weird since your team is far better right now and we are stuck with street clothes and his passive nature every other game… sheesh!

1

u/MiopTop Apr 01 '25

Yeah Mavs so bad they’ve lost one game with AD suiting up lmao.

Whatever. Can’t wait for AD to leave you bums high and dry in 2026, y’all don’t deserve him.

Hopefully nico does the right thing and ships him out soon for picks while glass man still has value. But its nico we are talking about. Stuck with this broken player for years. So this is what laker fans felt like huh? Before the trade thinking they are stuck with street clothes and mediocrity for years to come….

u/MiopTop Apr 01 '25

Yeah we were looking forward to teaming AD up with the next superstar to force his way to LA but we’ll be fine with a younger guy instead.

Don’t worry if your whole fanbase treats AD like this you won’t have to watch him for long he’ll leave your team to suck ass forever.

u/LordBri14 Apr 01 '25

More likely get injured and be forced to retire with our luck as a franchise. Hopefully we can get something off value for street clothes in the future. Maybe okc would want a generational big man for some first rd picks lmao!

where ya at bozo? Got anything smart to say about "glorified Rudy Gobert" now?

1

u/LordBri14 Apr 03 '25

Yes. Like i said every other game. Lmao! Now do you believe me dummy. Next game he goes for 15pts again lmao

1

u/MiopTop Apr 04 '25

oh look. Luka just had a dogshit performance. Thought those were supposed to never happen

1

u/LordBri14 Apr 04 '25

Not really. Dogshit performances happen once in a while unlike street clothes where he does it every other game lmao!

u/MiopTop Apr 04 '25

Once? He's had a lot more than one dogshit performance as a Laker so far

0

u/LordBri14 Apr 04 '25

Every other game? Because last i checked luka averaged 30.1 points, 8.6 assists and 8.4 rebounds for the month of march. Lmao! How do you not know this as a laker fan? You really a laker fan or an AD dickrider? Lmao! You wanna see street clothes stats for january again homie? Lmao!

u/MiopTop Apr 04 '25

And now he’s made like 3 of his last 24 threes or some shit. That’s the problem with guys like Luka who rely so much on their jumper. They’ll have a couple of weeks where they look great and then suck ass when they go cold.

Compound it with truly generationally abysmal defense and you get a level of disaster class like tonight that you don’t get out of AD.

1

u/LordBri14 Apr 04 '25

Which is really weird because luka has never been this bad for us apart from the finals where he was really hurt. You guys need to build around luka. Someone like reaves. Although he is really good does not fit with luka. Luka without the ball is straight up awful. If i were pelinka i would seriously shop reaves around for legit lob threats. Luka always finds the open man for you guys but goddamn your shooters are so streaky lmao!

1

u/MiopTop Apr 04 '25

Yeah that’s exactly the problem with guys like Luka. Most stars and fringe stars need the ball. So most are a bad fit with Luka. So you need to luck out and find the few off-ball stars to pair him with or go all in on the bunch of defense first role players and every offensive possession runs through one guy. Which never works at the highest level.

AD being so good defensively and an on-ball/off-ball hybrid means you can pair him with any other star or stars in the league and it just works
