Bontemps is about to be more unbearable than usual

and here’s what he wrote in the immediate Game 3 takeaways article on ESPN
> Windhorst: Completely unacceptable. No one can tell Doncic anything. Not teammates, not coaches, not executives, not media, not fans, not referees. There’s been a lot of pleas and promises that he’ll improve but this one is going to leave a mark. He is a truly brilliant player, once in a generation. But he’s going to have to look in the mirror and confront his weaknesses before he’s on the other side of a Finals. His defensive effort in these Finals has simply been crushing to his team, his complaining to the referees is painful and his frustration fouls probably just cost his team a chance at making this a series because he fouled out. He’s one of the biggest stars in the league and that means he’s held to a higher standard, especially at this level. He failed to meet it in this game and he’s going to have to deal with that whether he likes it or not.

I love luka but W has a point.
orangotai
damn!
i think he’s ~~100%~~ 90% correct here, because i do think some of Luka’s defense struggles is related to whatever injuries he has.
but Luka’s been acting like a whiny little brat this whole playoffs! he just looks like that annoying spoiled chubby kid whose been enabled by those around them. it’s funny how he’s compared to Jokic all the time, obviously cuz they’re from the same part of the world, but he’s like the fuckin opposite personality & maturity wise. Hopefully Luka grows from this, and i think he will, cuz acting like a brat won’t cut it!

Lol the way he goes off at his coaching staff while sitting on the floor

Fuck, Brian’s cooking

Someone put Meet the Grahams beat over this. He said you got hookah problems, drinking problems, flopping and complaining problems

They say this shit every time the mavs go down in a series but now that is over it’ll stick

Facts.

Literally everytime there is a whistle, you can find Luka with his hands up and a pissed off look.

Omg what a fucking beast

Windy with the flamethrower jesus

Yeah he just went off on him again in this hour’s Sportscenter with Zubin. I was surprised he was so blunt. (I remember him from his LeBron toady days in Cleveland, so…)
I’m suspect the criticism will be heard, and we’ll see a focused performance from Luka in at least game 4 before the Celts eventually win.

Mavs fans will unironically tell you his matador shit is actually part of their defensive scheme

Honestly Luka is lucky he didn’t get T’d up while he was bitching to the refs all game, it could have been worse. Windy is on the money here.
Waimang_NINJA
As a gigantic mavs fan, I couldn’t agree more. I do think injuries are playing some part but conditioning is a massive issue still.
Potential_Attempt_15
100%. Way to call them like you see them. This is what Majority of non Mavs fans are thinking tonight. Zero on defense. Out of shape complains all game. Elite offensive talent. Zero effort on defense.

Can’t wait for Awful Coaching’s Luka takes about why Luka’s defense is worse than North Korea.

Windhorst is right. A big contributor to the Celtics building their 21 point lead in the third quarter and being up 3-0 overall was due to Luka’s porous defense and him complaining instead of getting to where he needs to go. There is no way to win a championship playing like this.

Windhorst is an absolute beast!!
_TheLonelyStoner
He not lying at all about how Luka talks to the refs, it’s really wild and I’m just reading lips. He told one of them to “WAKE UP!” at one point after a no call and Im just thinking bro you realize THEY are the ones with the power right? Lol it does you no favors to get on their shit list just ask Chris Paul
Notchersfireroad
Well he ain’t Dirk, is he?
DrHandBanana
Not on no hater shit but this is refreshing to see. It went from “the greatest back court of all time” to “Luka is doing everything with no help” and even tonight the intro to sportscenter was then saying Luka was carrying the team until he fouled out and Kyrie missed all his 3s.
I understand we want the next LeBron but this isn’t the way to approach it.

No lies here.

Is Luka a top 5 least likeable player? All he does is whine. It’s embarrassing.
