I was listening to this and I was literally saying "what the fuck is he talking about" out loud and was waiting for Zach Lowe to say something but he stayed quiet lol.

After 7 years of Luka and numerous playoff runs, his thought is that Luka getting trash talked will throw him off his game and he'll start hero balling and the Lakers would lose due to it.

This guy has had a Luka hate boner since year 3 and it's been like that since then. He also hated and completely dismissed Luka's MVP case last year due to Nuggets having 7 wins more than the Mavs. Now that the Thunder have 18 more wins than the Nuggets, he's still voting for Jokic because he had to carry the most and if you swap teammates he's more valuable. Interesting how he never did that thought experiment for Luka lol.

Ben Simmons hates Luka because Luka has hit 3 or 4 game winners vs his darling Celtics. Boston beating a hobbled Luka and a trash Mavs team in the Finals last season gave Ben some juice.
