    One of them is going to stay down.

    The bottom of the West reads like this.

    Dallas
    Denver
    Memphis
    Rockets

    Not in my wildest dreams was that predictable.

    The way LaMelo played tonight he reminded me of Jason Kidd he effect the game in so many ways more than just scoring.

    A bit of irony that people called Harden fat all training camp long and he's been balling. Meanwhile everyone's golden boy Luka is clearly out of shape and no one says a thing.

    And he's a better scorer than Kidd already.

    This is becoming a thing for Luka. He whines at teammates a lot. Maybe that’s just another thing he’s copying from Hardens game, but it is real.

    You honestly could not have picked a worse play to highlight.

    You do realise that was an absolutely horrendous shot to take?

    The smart play is to give the ball to Luka in the centre of the court and Luka either takes his man on one-on-one or finds the WIDE OPEN player in the corner for the statistically best 3 point shot in the game.

    Instead.... Luka 'whines' at a teammate for taking a... contested... horrendous pull up 3.

    Come on man. I'm sure you can find a better example to actually prove a point not this nonsense.

    Literally a pull up contested 3 on a 4on2 fast break. My god. I would've thrown hands at Curry in the next dead ball.

    Making the smart play likely gets you within 1 point. Instead it's a 3 possession game seconds later on Curry's horrendous decision. Hahaha. This clip didn't make the point you wanted it to make.

    Dude, it’s not about the shot, it’s about Luka still whining on the other end and missing his assignment on a critical possession. Look at the score and time left, man

    “Couldn’t have picked a worse play” , ‘eh? That is the definition of whining to the point of hurting your team.

    You say look at the score and time left, as if that proves your point.

    That actually proves my point.

    Luka..... 'whines' at a teammate for an unforgiveable boneheaded play in the dying moments of a game.

    Harden.... doesn't move his feet and lets his player exert 0.005% of his energy in going past him and gets a wide open layup. Then proceeds to slap his thighs and yell at players on the opposite end of the court who had absolutely zero to do with the play and were never supposed to be the help defender.

    Haha. Good one. Hit me up when Luka has the actual whining down pat.

    It’s Lukas defense we are pointing out here. He chose to continue whining rather than playing defense at a critical point in the game, and gave up a wide-open transition three. It’s fine comparing that to Harden,,,because it’s the same thing.

    I don’t know what you mean by dying moments of the game. That is literally considered Clutch Time.

    Oh is that the point you're making here?

    You started off with making the point that he was whinging at his teammate.

    If you only began and kept on course saying he didn't get back on defense then we could've agreed from the getgo boyo.

    That's a detriment to the team.

    But you see you commented about whining. And then well I had to bring light to that trash.

    ..... you.... you know that's a clearly fake photo right?

    Come on JR.

    Jesus christ.

    It doesn't even look a lick like Luka hahaha oh my god

    That is literally what my face looks like 7 years after I left the Army and gained 24kgs.

    Hahahaha I'm in hysterics now you of all people posted that.

    This is as laughable as those people who posted the Harden without a beard photo when it clearly is not Harden. Oh maaaah loooooord

    Dude, that Tweet is mine. I explained the defense in my tweet, rather than retyping on my iPad. Sorry that I assumed ppl actually read tweets for full context of a post. Then I realized you didn’t read the tweet, so I also reinforced the defense aspect in my next reply to you. Then you still didn’t pick up on it, so a repeated a third time.

    I just love it when discussions like this derail to a meta-discussion about how the discussion occurred. Sigh.

    Yep, i accept defeat on this one. You're right.

    I didn't read the tweet.

    You replied to me in a prior conversation about whining - I naturally assumed that's what it was about - and stopped the clip after Curry's shot and didn't watch the rest of the video.

    This JD is going down super smooth on this New Years down under bro.

    My tail is between my legs. I can accept i'm wrong when I actually am.
