Something to enjoy while we wait for Luka and the team to get through this rough patch

It doesn’t matter how great his offense is. If he continues to put no effort on defense we will never win a championship. He is getting worse and I don’t want to hear that he played better defense last playoffs cause it was still horrible.
It’s shocking how much faster and mobile he used to be.
Look at our lineup at that clutch time Clippers match man. Luka-Seth-Thj-Dfs-Maxi. Its just disgusting.
And yea i also think Luka should become more slimmer. That would help his offball defence and imo he become way more shoot first kinda guy. Reason is probably he is more slow than before so he try turn around shots etc. but his most unique strength is his rim pressure. In his second season he had highest fg around rim after Drose iirc. Combine that with his vision/handles/height he become so deadly. Now that his shoot (at least last year) become much better he would be even more insane.
TLDR Mavs stuff/Luka should aim for slimmer Luka imo.
Edit: Having more weight also has advantages but since his shot become more consistent we could live without that. Also i dont get why we dont run more post up Luka (when we play small ball/all shooters at least) so he can organize the team from there. One of the season we did that and he feasted.
Basically Kidd need to develop better offense (more various plays for everyone basically) NBA becoming way more talented you have to grow too.
Edit 2 (lol): Playing with KP/5 shooters def helped him btw. Also teams have better understanding how to defend him.
why does it have to be every season though that trends need to change
If Luka was in bubble shape now, we’d be 12-0. No real argument. He’d also be consistently fighting Jokic for best player in the league, whereas Jokic has that title firmly in hand at this current moment.
Bubble Luka is a myth. 4 poor games and you’re forgetting that last seasons version is obviously the best he’s ever been. Nobody has ever put up 33/9/9 and to do it while shooting 48% and 38% from 3 on 10 3s a game is insane. Nobody has created more points per game since 1971 than Luka Doncic in 23-24.
First time?
Can you imagine this version of Luka getting locked up by Andrew Wiggins at any point in the game? Can you imagine if you gave this version of Luka teammates like Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson?
This sub is toxic. Luka is the best player we’ve ever had. Appreciate his greatness and stop expecting him to be perfect 24/7
this just made me more depressed because we all know hes never ever going back to this form
Will we never get this back? Hope seems to be slightly fading 🥲
When Luka was 20 pounds lighter and didn’t get into Texas bbq good times
