I don't understand the supposed popularity of Perk as a studio analyst. I absolutely loved him as a player and to this day, I believe Danny cost us a title when he was traded away to OKC, but his commentary is hardly insightful, especially for someone who played in the league.

Luka cant handle Brown on him! Love it.

Me too man.   Luka is still having bad dreams about JB guarding him in the finals.  Nothing has changed.

Luka looks scared of Jaylen's defense.

Lakers have a few guys who really don't want to defend side to side in space.

If you think that's bad, just wait until Draymond becomes one for TNT. I also find it weird they are tabbing him as the next guy. Really?

Luka looks like he has PTSD playing in this building

Ugh, another excellent steal by JB, but come on you can't screw up that 3 on 1 fastbreak there.

Luka looked happy to see Jrue picking him up in transition instead of having Jaylen on him. Forced the issue. Wanted an easier shot attempt.

Lakers fans are seeing first hand what a huge defensive liability Luka is, and what they're going to have to compensate for in the playoffs.

This is the issue with the Lakers. When you have both Luka and Reaves out there who are absolutely traffic cones defensively, that's just not a sustainable defensive strategy in the playoffs.

Luka doesn't even look like he can get by JB at this point.
