The Lakers' recent victory against the Spurs showcased the significant impact Luka Doncic has had on the team's offense. With Doncic on the court, players experience an unprecedented level of freedom and opportunity to shoot, as defenses struggle to close out against them. Dorian Finney-Smith humorously characterized this scenario with the phrase "butt naked" or "buck naked," emphasizing how open teammates are when playing alongside Doncic. Despite Doncic's own off night shooting, his presence allowed the Lakers to create offensive advantages that led to an easy victory, further underlining his influence on the team's performance.
"I'm back getting wide-open shots where I feel like I got a rush when I really don't have to, I got plenty of time. ... You (butt or buck)-naked wide open."
"Excuse my language, ... You wide open."
"This was NC-17 levels of offense for the Lakers (42-25) against the Spurs (28-39), things looking easy even if Doncic had a rough shooting night."
"the attention centered on Doncic leading to easy nights for others."
