"Turning into Wizards Russ before our eyes": NBA Reddit gets blunt about Luka Doncic's regression after another Lakers loss

Luka Doncic and the LA Lakers lost at home on Tuesday night to the Detroit Pistons. NBA Reddit got blunt about his regression after the Lakers fell to their fourth loss in five games.

One fan on Reddit commented.

"Turning into Wizards Russ before our eyes. His turnovers are seriously back-breaking as well, just today the Pistons scored 14 points on the possessions immediately following a Luka turnover. For a guy who already puts zero effort into defence that's a lot of free points given up..."

"Becauss the Lakers are ass at transition defence, the only guy who seems to be able to get back is Smart, everyone else just jogs and watches their opponent get a free layup."

"I know no one is going to be able to tell Luka to stop shooting so many threes, but maybe stop shooting so many threes. Wemby got a bunch of shit for shooting less threes on higher efficiency last season."

Despite the loss and missed 3-point shots, Doncic ended the game with 30 points, five rebounds and 11 assists.
