Well yeah, he played awful last night, nobody is saying otherwise.Harden with 11-38 shoothing.... and 50 points. Seriously, his game is horrible.
So fun to watch.
2:02. That scoop lay-up off the glass, after the hesitation move, was hilarious. Best old man game in the game.

It’s like someone only invested all virtual money in skills in video game player creation... all the tricks he has, the moves he knows...
That's what makes him so great to watch - it's kind of like why the most fun part of Kyrie's game was his finishing in traffic. The variety of moves, fakes, and seeing other guys react to something they hadn't seen before is just so freaking entertaining. Luka's like that in all aspects of his game. You can just see defenders looking at each other afterwards not even knowing who was at fault.

He is getting LeBron treatment by the refs, no blood no foul?
It’s still crazy how much contact is allowed when defending LeBron...
But Luka is not built like cyborg...
But he gets smacked at unusually high rate. There was always a debate about LBJ and his supposed flopping and even among Cavs fans debated if the hits he DID take are enough to be called or not. IMO basketball involves quite high precision if you want to score so any illegal contact is problematic, if not than weaker players should withstand same hits as bigger players and still shoot the same percentage. Dropping 10 lbs to Luka’s or Trae’s foot hurts the same.Luka has been one of the most egregious floppers in the NBA this season. He snaps his head back on every screen. Maybe the refs are getting wise to his act and he’s starting to suffer from the “boy who cried wolf syndrome.”
