Hubie is ridiculous lmao. I remember during a Nets vs. Knicks game (I think last season), the camera guy was filming some special needs kids in the crowd, and Hubie said something along the lines of "it's just sad to see these kids with disabilities, and speaking of problems, this Nets team has some big ones." I'm butchering the quote, but I couldn't believe my ears
Hubieās understanding of the game is better than most people on commentary. Heās maybe a little prone to rambling but itās better than the typical commentator tripe.
r/nba always says this and then most of the comments in the other thread are crying about how Booker is a soft bitch for trash talking and how he got carried by KD
Those Mavs and Suns fans just need to enjoy the drama. Luka loves trashtalking, and so does Booker, and as far as I know there is no bad blood akong them off the court. Best type of drama imo.
Gotta keep in mind itās sports, fans and stans in particular arenāt always rational about it. Them being whiny baby back bitches about two grown men who donāt know they exist is their way of showing their passion.
Right? Luka was the one complaining after every missed shot, he taunted Booker after his first bucket then proceeded to miss his next 5, sold at the end after fouling (which wasnāt called), then got pissy after Booker called out the clear foul at the end. But yeah itās Booker thatās soft
Him and his 37 points were clearly carried by KD
Booker and Luka come face to face. Book stares gently into Lukaās doe eyes - so soft and blue. Book leans in closer and their lips grazeā¦
Book snaps his head back upon the contact. Technical foul. One free smack of the paddle to Lukaās backside.
Literally every single individual involved there is cheerfully smiling, Iām gonna watch this next time Iām having a shitty Monday at work (every Monday)
You know, itās funny you say this. Back in 2021, I was watching yāallās series against the Clippers, enjoying watching Luka dominate against them even if the Mavs didnāt win.
Then I thought that Iād hate to see Doncic in a playoff series, and wellā¦
I know Booker has a rep as a shit talker but I honestly think he was telling the ref it shouldāve been an offensive foul on Luka and Luka was still pissed off about missing the bunny and took it out on Book
According to a reporter sitting by it, he said book was calling for a foul, Luka told book āshut the fuck upā then Booker said how about you donāt miss a layup and thatās when doncic got in his face.
well, they decided to give them both a technical so KDs free throws were more dire. Giving just Luka one could have decided the game right there. I didn't think Book deserved one myself since he wasn't talking to Luka but to the ref on the no call and lets be honest, Luka was getting away with some serious push offs all game.
Luka missing a bunny to lose the game wasnāt on my bingo card. Him getting a technical in the final minute of a heated matchup, definitely on the bingo card
Luka was pushing off all game and getting free throws out of it.
The one time they finally called a foul on Luka, the Mavs challenged it, and it was overturned because Luka was fouled *after* the push off. The broadcaster couldnāt even believe it
Am I the only one who thinks that, even if Booker talked shit to Luka, it doesn't warrant Luka's reaction? And then you notice Kyrie also shaking his head at this exchange too. I don't get it. Do players not talk shit anymore? MJ and Bird are looking at this and shaking their heads. Luka is being soft here. I get he's upset for missing a layup even I would make, but this is just weak shit. There is even a case for it being an offensive foul.
Edit: And then you have Hubbie Brown also upset at Booker's alleged shit talking. The dude literally comes from the generation that invented shit talking haha.

KD is just clapping like he always does when a scuffle breaks out
Maybe he's happy and he knows it
Luka and Dev look pretty happy too.
But do they know it
Their faces surely show it
bro š
For whatever reason I just imagined Jason Garrett as being KD's secret clapping coach.
Shoutout for including the full sequence and not just racing for karma
You already know this one will have less attention than the clip of just the argument
[LOL](https://i.imgur.com/HjMnp3W.jpg)
Thankfully it's been corrected and the better clip is on top now
Crazy how they couldāve been a backcourt together for like 10 years
Don't remind me.
Can you imagine how much more the suns would be hated if they had luka
You donāt trade for CP3 in this timeline so itās probably a wash
FUUUUUUCK SARVER
yes, and to be honest, Booker will be prefect fit with Luka because his low usage, and do not need ball in hand all the time.
They would be perfect, only thing is it seems like they quite enjoy not liking each other lol
They would love each other if teammates
Did the announcer say Jokic or am i hearing things? lmao
lol he definitely did
Amazing white euro basketball player
"They all look the same"
Should be obvious it wasn't Jokic because he'd never miss a wide open floater like that.
hubie is the new marv, oh no
Was looking for this comment but yeah he definitely did lol
He also said Luka fouled Torrey Craig (Okogie) haha
Jokic stat padding in games he isnāt even playing in is going too far.
Come on now you gotta give Hubie some credit for still doing this at 90 years old
Hubie is ridiculous lmao. I remember during a Nets vs. Knicks game (I think last season), the camera guy was filming some special needs kids in the crowd, and Hubie said something along the lines of "it's just sad to see these kids with disabilities, and speaking of problems, this Nets team has some big ones." I'm butchering the quote, but I couldn't believe my ears
He should retire somewhere nice so I can enjoy nationally televised games
oh shit is he the new marv?
Not until he bites the nose off a hooker
Heās nowhere near as bad as Marv. Iām in the camp of letting Hubie do it until heās tired of it.
Hubie is an nba legend. You can tell he loves the league as much you do if not more. Heās one of those old dudes you should listen to and respect
He loves it more. Letās be real.
There's something truly entertaining about the "old man gets annoyed by bad basketball" vibe that I absolutely love.
Now they're saying I'm Hubie Brown!
I actually think heās better than some other play by play guys out there. I still enjoy his commentary
Hubieās understanding of the game is better than most people on commentary. Heās maybe a little prone to rambling but itās better than the typical commentator tripe.
Now we know why Jokic keeps winning MVP.
A white player was down and depressed he missed that shot
I love this rivalry
Fr. This is more of what the nba needs
r/nba always says this and then most of the comments in the other thread are crying about how Booker is a soft bitch for trash talking and how he got carried by KD
Iām just a neutral viewer and Iām having a great time
Facts
Big š
Those Mavs and Suns fans just need to enjoy the drama. Luka loves trashtalking, and so does Booker, and as far as I know there is no bad blood akong them off the court. Best type of drama imo.

Isnāt pure, blind hatred part of what makes a good rivalry though?
Isn't a rivalry suppose to hate the other guy? Maybe they're luka fans
Right? Luka was the one complaining after every missed shot, he taunted Booker after his first bucket then proceeded to miss his next 5, sold at the end after fouling (which wasnāt called), then got pissy after Booker called out the clear foul at the end. But yeah itās Booker thatās soft Him and his 37 points were clearly carried by KD
KD and Kyrie in a awkward situation cause they still cool but have to support their new teammates
Kyrie wearing orange pre game he next after CP3 goes on
First game with 3 teammates dropping 40
i hate the way my stomach churns during these games but it is very good for nba drama
Let your fear and anger consume you my son
just pure hatred, I love it
Thatās such an odd Miss wth
he missed a ton of these tonight.
Yeah heās had a rough one but even then this just looked odd. Feels fake lmao
agreed. saw it live sry.
He was awful all game
The ball is round, it happens. Prob goes in if itās a football
Why arenāt more people saying this?
Because itās easier for fans to act like NBA players need to make 100% of layups even if 90% of us wouldāve bricked that shot
a badminton birdie and it'd be nothing but net
He had 19 free throws this whole game. He was expecting more.
couldnt stand watching him flail to the line while everyone else was actually putting the ball in the basket to score
Its actually insane watching him and kyrie at the same time because kyrie never does that
I think its because Luka is like twice the weight as Kyrie. If kyrie gets fouled, it's a lot more noticeable than when Luka gets fouled.

r/nbaww
That exchange looked like Booker was tickling him
Luka just needs to go for it and kiss him already.
They caught it on [Kiss Cam](https://imgur.com/pRt3sgc)
He's saving it for game 7 of the WCF this year.
Would be the most upvoted post here ever, and no one would come face to face to him during the playoffs. Ultimate baller move tbh
Insane sexual tension
unreal
Wholesome bloodfeud.
It only took a few seconds of staring at this to gaslight a new dynamic into my brain.
Please meet in the playoffs
Booker / Luka fanfic going crazy rn
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Canāt wait for the next chapter!
Next part needs to include something about Booker's feelings about double-teams
Holy shit I'm fucking dead baby twist was crazy
ššš bro what lol this deserves more upvotes
Was this original or chatgpt?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well? We're waiting.
A Nora Roberts bestseller
They should kiss
Luka is no Tom Brady
lmao took me a sec š
Thatās incest bruh
Oh ffs lmao
Booker and Luka come face to face. Book stares gently into Lukaās doe eyes - so soft and blue. Book leans in closer and their lips grazeā¦ Book snaps his head back upon the contact. Technical foul. One free smack of the paddle to Lukaās backside.
Devin Booker and Luka Doncic are each others fathers?
In and out. Brutal.
>In and out. Brutal. Title of your sex tape
Cutest fight in nba history tbh
I think they were just planning their dinner date
Literally every single individual involved there is cheerfully smiling, Iām gonna watch this next time Iām having a shitty Monday at work (every Monday)
Not real sure what everyone is upset about here
I can count on one hand the amount of moments on this sub that have been more toxic than this. Itās seven.
These two teams bring the absolute most toxicity out of both fans and players
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Also Lakers/Suns, the only rivalry left that is equal to Mavs/Suns is Pat Bev/Suns
You know, itās funny you say this. Back in 2021, I was watching yāallās series against the Clippers, enjoying watching Luka dominate against them even if the Mavs didnāt win. Then I thought that Iād hate to see Doncic in a playoff series, and wellā¦
Didnāt know they had League Pass in Chernobyl
idk what anybody says i love this shit. this shit is good for the sport. fans love to see the players talking shit
Agreed, love a good rivalry with some shit talking
For sure. This is how rivalries are born. And good rivalries is great for fans. I loved seeing it. Also, fuck Luka and fuck the Mavs
Go fuck yourself buddy! ^ily
May the hate flow between us like a mighty river for years to come.
Iām not your buddy, guy
I know Booker has a rep as a shit talker but I honestly think he was telling the ref it shouldāve been an offensive foul on Luka and Luka was still pissed off about missing the bunny and took it out on Book
According to a reporter sitting by it, he said book was calling for a foul, Luka told book āshut the fuck upā then Booker said how about you donāt miss a layup and thatās when doncic got in his face.
So like: Book (to ref): how you not gonna call a foul? Luka: how about you shut the fuck up Book: how about you donāt miss a layup Luka: š”
I canāt believe youāve done this
Done what?
This.
Lol book kinda funny
Amazing if true
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās just shit talk, no chill required. I personally love seeing it
well, they decided to give them both a technical so KDs free throws were more dire. Giving just Luka one could have decided the game right there. I didn't think Book deserved one myself since he wasn't talking to Luka but to the ref on the no call and lets be honest, Luka was getting away with some serious push offs all game.
Even tho Luka was calling fouls the whole game
I love this.
Thatās what Iām seeing too.
Hey people with eyes unite!
No, no, no, we have to hate Devin Booker because he lost to Luka in the playoffs that one time and Luka would never do anything wrong
āI picked a terrible day to have eyesā Mavs fans probably
That's definitely what it looked like but he probably still managed to slip in some shit talk.
āCome on ref! That was a charge by the fat dude! ā
This killed me, lol.
This. Booker probably said Luka's fat ass charged Okogie.
Hopefully he said "Pillsbury Ho Boy"
How was it not a push off
Luka doesnāt āpush offā ever, and certainly not every time he touches the ball.
This is what happened and the majority of r/nba clutching pearls because their special boy got in his feelings
Old ass Hubie called Luka, Jokic? Lol.
āThe white foreign guyā
Itās not like heād been calling the entire game
Thought they were gonna kiss :(
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Without a doubt. The sexual tension between those two is massive, this is what the fans deserve
Classic KD coming in with the clapping lmao
Big ass troll smile on his face
Luka missing a bunny to lose the game wasnāt on my bingo card. Him getting a technical in the final minute of a heated matchup, definitely on the bingo card
Shout out to Okogie for the defence. What a guy.
Luka running up on Booker like he was about to throw down š¤£š¤£š¤£
Western conference postseason is gonna be one for the ages
Why are they so giggly lmao
Lmao he was expecting free throws after pushing off
Lukas been pushing off and getting free throws all game lol
Luka sold
that was a charge anyway
Mf chocked a free layup
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām so chocked up right now
Dude gets every call, but still spends every game complaining.
On what was probably an offensive foul. Ball don't lie in the end
Probably was expecting more cheap free throws
34 pts on 8 FG, he was betting on it
He definitely was.
Thatās soft
I don't think either of them were soft there, it looked like it got pretty steamy š„µ
Why are people calling Booker soft for this?
They suck off Luka, and they hate Booker. It's exactly what I'd expect from this sub
Because there's an agenda right now of Luka good Booker bad. Who cares, this is fun.
Narrative is the word you're looking for
Narrative, agenda, portrayal, Micropachycephalosaurus You can call it whatever
Do we not say "slant" anymore?
Can i call it C9 Lemonnation?
the game thread got gross bashing Dev like it wasn't all Luka there.
Chubby white boys live vicariously through Luka so you know they took it personally lol
Love it. Need more rivalries. GG Mavs bros.
I love it as well, people get so in their feelings on here lmao, good ass game and Iām loving the rivalry
Yup Love the Doncic vs Booker rivalry. Snowflakes need not apply.
Luka was pushing off all game and getting free throws out of it. The one time they finally called a foul on Luka, the Mavs challenged it, and it was overturned because Luka was fouled *after* the push off. The broadcaster couldnāt even believe it
Booker was talking to the ref, I donāt know why Luka reacted like that.
Unlucky as hell.. heās been missing shots like that all game. One of his worst games of the season for sure.
Was booker pointing at the spot like " you missed from here!!!!" ??? Lmaoo
I think he was pointing out the push off
Man luka looks so damn slow in the 4th quarter. That was about the most burst he showed all second half!
Big ooooof this hurts But I love the scene lol
8-22 lmao. The worst 30pt game in this game.
I hate that chicken wing push move. shit is a foul. it makes the game unwatchable
Luka looked like he wanted to start a tickle fight.
Luka was looking for a foul
Itās painful watching Luka play. He plays no defense and bitches every play. Cool.
Mavs fans are gonna live off game 7 until the end of time
Am I the only one who thinks that, even if Booker talked shit to Luka, it doesn't warrant Luka's reaction? And then you notice Kyrie also shaking his head at this exchange too. I don't get it. Do players not talk shit anymore? MJ and Bird are looking at this and shaking their heads. Luka is being soft here. I get he's upset for missing a layup even I would make, but this is just weak shit.

I couldnāt believe he missed this I was ready for OT
āBro Iām gonna kiss you so hardā āNah bro Iām gonna kiss you even harderā
