Luka Doncic was not pleased by the special NBA Cup court at the Los Angeles Lakers’ downtown arena, calling it “slippery” and “dangerous.”

James Harden and Kawhi Leonard haven't been able to stop the LA Clippers from sliding in the standings over the last few weeks.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Dončić isn't a fan of the team's alternate NBA Cup court, and it has nothing to do with the way it looks. Following the Lakers' 135-118 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday, Dončić wasn't a fan of the way the court played, calling it too slippery.

To make matters worse, the Clippers seem to be on the brink of implosion. Their body language on defense was awful all game on Tuesday, making simple defensive mistakes due to lack of communication, concentration, and effort. Plus, Ty Lue and Kawhi Leonard's remarks suggest that they may be a deeper discontentment within the team.
