Luka on his mentality changing and him not complaining as much tonight: “I just tried to play basketball. Just focus on basketball. Sometimes I forgot this is the thing I love, this is the thing I do. My mental focus was to just go out there and play basketball with a smile on my face and just go”

    I must admit..i may have over reacted of our death

  2. He channeled all his attention to playing basketball.

  3. ZachMo_34

    From experience that toxicity and complaining comes from playing Overwatch. Maybe he took a break.

    So this does confirm that Luka’s mentality the day of is largely the determining factor of his play no matter how injured he is

    Need a Kyrie sage every game and let bro play all the Overwatch he wants if he can get a 31/10/11 on one working leg and bruised

    In the midst of “it’s so over”, I found there was, within me, an invincible “we’re so back.”

    Even hurt, no one can stop if he just focuses on basketball. He was locked in all game and just having fun out there.

    He’s under 25 he can change people need to stop being so hard on him

    I made a comment to my wife early in the 4th that I just realized Luka was barely complaining for most of the game. What a change and good on him!

  9. How many FT did we attempt tonight by not complaining? Refs can’t make players bitch and moan for simple calls

  10. Luka is at his best when he plays the game with joy – tonight was absolutely therapeutic for everyone to watch

    Smiling Luka forever please. Not gonna be greedy and ask for headband Luka or it’s game over.

  12. GoBackToStardust

    It’s simple. Luka plays basketball, and the Mavs win. That’s it.

    If this Luka shows up rest of playoffs we are winning the championship given how well the rest of team is playing right now

  14. This is the difference when his energy is channeled the right direction. Happy for Luka happy for this team. Loved these comments from him postgame.

  15. I got 3 guesses as to who was ‘speaking’ to him, either our sports psychologist, markieff, or his wife. Either way I’m ecstatic with the results!

    I TOLD YOU ALL. LUKA JUST NEEDS TO STOP FUCKING WHINING AND WE WIN!!

    Y’all think someone spoke to him after Sunday, or he just had an awakening on his own? If he can keep his head in this mindset and just focus on the sport and the playing of a game.. I can learn to love again.

  18. Adam Sandler should make another Happy Gilmore, starring Luka Doncic. It’s life imitating art. 

  19. Gerraardd

    Probably laid off overwatch too yeah? That games does shit to your mental.

  20. It’s called tilt. It’s impossible to make all the right decisions when you are on tilt. It will benefit us when he accepts this as a discipline.

    A lot of fans have forgotten who and what Luka has done for us over his short career, and he mainly did it alone. And now that he has help, and they are selling out to stop Luka, a lot of the fan base turned on him and that sucks. He is our star, our leader, he knows how to figure this shit out. If he has 5 fouls in the first, he can play the entire game without getting another foul, and haters will say, his defense sucked. NO it doesn’t, he just didn’t want to be fouled out.

    This was not this way during the regular season, our normal sub fans here are reasonable people, it’s the newbies that really pisses me off.

  22. Salamat_osu

    Yup, that’s the Luka I root for. Not the constantly complaining version. Seeing him smile playing his game, that’s the shit I like. 😊
