Luka Doncic on the Lakers playing without LeBron James while he's sidelined with sciatica:
"It's a big change. He'a a great player. He can help us a lot. But at the end of the day, our mentality needs to be next man up."

Is it October 21 yet?
That’s my Luka!
Imho, it’s prob good thing short term.
Bench/new guys going lot extra mins to adjust/develop. 35 mins and someone is moving to starter spot thats lot extra mins.
Luka,ar, and ayton more in spotlight to see how they mesh.
I think it would be good for team to try not to rely too much on lebron. We saw last season playoffs and season general it just became iso luka or lebron to bail out offense if things got difficult.
We overused/rely lebron way too much last season.
Edit: only prob 5-10 games but get extra reps in now for team.
It’s gonna be tough but it’s a good test for the other guys to step up.
It would be a waste of Luka’s prime years.
Hoping for Luka to go crazy like 06 Kobe
“It’s my team now anyway, idgaf what he does.”
Vando shall not fumble this chance otherwise he will end up like Kuzma in 2021 when he had all the playing time when AD and Lebron were out.
Need an angry translator for this one
AD had the keys to the place, he couldn’t drive. I say let Luka hold the keys and the wheel. He’s our leader.
We need to be successful without LeBron. I actually think it’s beneficial that he’s out.
Mango is pretty on point here. Lukas storied history is one of being second guessed and pulling off hard carries, he almost always beats the noise, he always steps up.
Now with Jj trying to condition the team as the second coming of the pacers🙄he has the conditioning to manage that load.
But I don’t think JJ wants to be frivolous about it. He knows he has the cast to be great as a team if they buy in. And they have. But he also is going to be smart of who plays when and for how long.
I expect this team to do well, and im obnoxiously excited about low expectations because that lights fires.. we have a group of VERY PROUD MEN WHO HAVE BEEN UNDERESTIMATED. I DONT KNOW WHATS MORE DANGEROUS THAN A TEAM WHOSE OPPONENT IS OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT U ARE CAPABLE OF.
Sorry for the caps felt good in the moment.
Just a lil over a week away shout out to the countdown guy!
It will be a good showcase to Bron this team can win without him,
Then he can suddenly turned healthy again to play for win
oh this is definitely luka’s team
