Only 6 more weeks, bros. You know we finna boutta smash those bookies again this season. I'll be here day 1. Only two games that day, so probably gonna go light. All I know is that Twolves-Lakers is gonna be an under (depending on the number). Probably gonna go light that first week or two and let the ATS play out so we can find the value.

I get that his statistical output isn't worthy of the max contract. I get it. Totally valid.
What else is their option? Temporarily close the championship window and wait until someone better is available to spend the money on? Would that be tolerated by the fans or would that lead to empty seats?

Mazulla is a colossal faggot and you can tell that by how arrogant he is

This bum choked his ass off last year against an 8th seed team Doc Rivers' style and was probably even less useful than Tatum was this year on their title run and yet he comes out and acts like he is an elite coach

You could grab any assistant coach from any team, put him as a head coach on this Celtics' team and they would still be champions, especially since almost every good player on the East was injured this year in the playoffs
Even on the finals you could tell Doncic was barely moving and Kyrie had a mental breakdown every time he played in Boston

This is one of the weakest most pathetic title runs ever and this fraud thinks he is hot shit after he got carried by his stacked team all season long

Didn't read, don't care. Stats don't lie, Greeks do (quite often actually)

As a Celtics fan I personally don’t count the 2024* because we beat all injured teams and superstars especially, but I think the ‘Gaytum’ disrespect has gotten out of hand. No he’s not the best player on his team or top 15-25 but he’s a very good role player that plays a team orientated game like Draymond Green
>>
>>144349314
100% facts. Well 99% facts. You called it a "title run". It wasn't a title. It was a *.
>>
>>144349351
>Stats don't lie
Well he better repeat with this team next year then otherwise the * will be 100% official

But something tells me that won't be easy since it's unlikely that everything will be perfect for them again next year

And when it gets tough and there's pressure he will crap his pants again along with his star players and we will all witness the biggest chokejob ever

He really is Doc Rivers 2.0 kek

Could the league punish an entire team by removing them from all basketball activity for 1 league year? No play, no basketball-related income, maybe no salaries, nothing. The league reschedule is rewritten to just have 29 teams in competition. What would a team have to do to get punished like that?

Will the nba eventually have to change the rules to make it so that a player's height doesn't instantly give them such a huge advantage?

The current endgame seems to be that you simply wait for some sort of nine foot tall genetic freak giant who has the requisite bone and muscle density to go along with their freakish height (enough so that they can still be powerful and athletic like wemby is) and they basically just take the ball and dunk it without jumping every play

And then going from that it becomes a team full of those types of players, at which point it becomes an eleven foot giant on the same court as the nine foot giants

Basically it seems like the arms race that is player height is ultimately unsustainable, so what can actually be done? Raising the net wouldn't do anything except be a bandaid solution
>>
>>144353829
If that was the case it would already be the case, the NBA has stayed the same height since the 1950s (one inch taller but players weren’t measured in shoes then)

It be nice to have a player Vic’s size that does everything well but those players are usually shitty and/or injury prone (Yao Ming, Shawn Bradley, Manute Bol, Bol Bol, Gheorge Muersan) certainly none of them have been difference makers. I once thought the new “meta” would be trying to have 5 dudes like Giannis on the court at any given time

Turns out those guys don’t run on trees and it’s still better to have a regular wing/forward than Jaren Jackson Jr despite his size since he doesn’t know what to do with it

Michael Jordan's legacy as the greatest basketball player of all time is built on a foundation of unparalleled skill, relentless determination, and an unyielding will to win. His wide array of skills, from his impeccable shooting and scoring ability to his defensive prowess and clutch performances, set him apart from any other player in the history of the game. Jordan faced adversity head-on, whether it was overcoming tough opponents, battling through injuries, or leading his team to victory in the most critical moments. His six NBA championships, all won with the Chicago Bulls, are a testament to his greatness and his ability to rise to the occasion when it mattered most.

In stark contrast, LeBron James, despite his physical gifts and undeniable talent, has often been criticized for his limited basketball skillset and his tendency to seek out easier paths to success. LeBron's career has been marked by a series of moves to team up with other star players in an attempt to secure championships, yet he has still come up short numerous times. His propensity to flop, his frequent outbursts at referees, and his habit of shifting blame onto others when things don't go his way have all tarnished his reputation. LeBron's actions, such as getting coaches fired and trading teammates, further illustrate a lack of the leadership qualities that defined Jordan's career.

Ultimately, the comparison between Michael Jordan and LeBron James is stark. Michael Jordan is a winner in every sense of the word, a player who consistently rose to the challenge and led his team to greatness through sheer determination and skill. LeBron James, on the other hand, often comes across as a whiner, someone who looks for shortcuts and makes excuses when the going gets tough. In the end, Michael Jordan's legacy as the greatest of all time remains unchallenged, while LeBron James continues to grapple with his shortcomings.

Mj career literally only went well because of that Scottie Pippin contract

>>144358828

Fine, I’ll play your game.

Michael Jordan played with Pippen.

Lebron played with Shaquille O’Neill, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Anthony Davis, basically more NBA All-Stars and Hall of Famers than anyone other player in NBA history, played twice as long as Jordan yet only accomplished half as much.

What does that say about your false king?

NCAA actually lets white boys get in off the bench and has white American stars, there’s probably no solution short of Flagg or somebody being Bird 2.0 and soon

The current crop of star players (Jokic, Doncic, Shai, Gaytum, Haliburton) are very boring and unlikeable, so much so fans were trying to squint and make Anthony Edwards into Jordan just cause he talks trash and has charisma
>>
>>144369185
They need a Larry/Magic type rivalry. Instead of trying to buckbreak the league into having the face of 1 guy who just dominate like Jordan. That is much more compelling than watching one guy win alot and be a ballhog bitch
>>
>>144369416
I agree that’s why Bron/Curry was so popular, no clue why the powers that be think parity is a good thing when this era and the 70s are the least watched

The difference is Anthony Edwards swept KD/Booker and KD immediately ran over after the game, gave AE some dap, and said he loved mentoring him during the Olympic trials. By the time the Dream Team came along Zeke/Pistons weren’t even a threat to Michael and he and Pippen still wouldn’t let him on the team

Jayson Tatum had the worst Finals performance ever against the Warriors and then went to Draymond’s wedding a few days later. I think he was one of the groomsmen even

You’re not going to have rivalries, genuine or forced, in that environment. The fans are way more passionate about the result than the players

You couldn’t design a better personality for the Spurs franchise and a worse one for sports entertainment, I blame basketball camps/AAU pricing out all the Tyrone’s and Jamal’s so you get a bunch of light skinned and mixed prissy guys that grew up with a silver spoon

An old school faggot like Dennis Rodman will literally clothesline you in a game, whereas you could follow around a new school faggot like Jared McCain grabbing and patting him on the ass and he doesn’t gonna do shit but slap your hand away and holler “Stop!” like a female

I would say he'd be behind Jokic, Luka, and Giannis. I will say if had been healthy in the 2021 playoffs they would have had a good chance at the chip. Kawhi being one of the few guys in the league good enough to slow down Giannis. Better than anyone Phoenix had for sure.

>>144414787
I hope they do really poorly but have the wits about them to not trade away LaMelo or Miller so they can get a chane at Flagg. Now that would be a scary team.

>>144338706
This isnt 2021, 2022 or even 2023 Kawhi anymore. Even when hes not that good anymore. Still amazing, he had some minor mvp talks this season but the heights he reached at his peak were GOAT level. A healthy kawhi is top 10 but i dont see him past jokic

>>144416246

Jokic is the best offensive force in the NBA now but his defence is average at best while Kawhi is elite on offense while also defending the best player on the other team

People seem to forget that in 2017 the Spurs were beating one of the "best teams ever" by 20 points at their own home court with Kawhi on the floor
But when that little bitch Zaza injured him the Warriors came back, won the game and ended up sweeping the Spurs
He had like 20 points in 20 minutes while also guarding Durant and he was only 25 at the time

At least he got his revenge later but still, memechucking could have died in that series and Durant would have been humilated
>>
>>144418361
The Spurs were up by like 50. Their other players must have really sucked.
>>
>>144418482
Well they completely blew the fuck out of the Rockets in the previous round without Kawhi in one game but it was an elimination game with Harden leading the team so even the Wizards would have probably beaten them

But yeah his prime hadn't even started yet and he was absolutely owning Durant and Curry
Think about having a guy like that for another 10 years without injuries with another average All-Star player and Popovich besides him
The Spurs would probably have like 10 championships by the end of his prime

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice, do think twice)
She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
You know what you did, (she says he is my son) breaking my heart babe
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover (x6)

Jordan learned how to shoot 3's in his sixth season in the league.
Take away his first five seasons and his two seasons with Washington and he's a 35.9% 3-point shooter.
It's a myth that he couldn't shoot threes.
>>
>>144403478
LeBron is not in his prime.
His offensive numbers mask his physical decline.
He's only able to put up those numbers at his age now because he completely fucking takes most of the game off at the defensive end. He just fucking stands there. He doesn't run back in transition - he cherrypicks instead. He's a defensive liability now.
While he was never a great 1v1 defender, he used to be an excellent help/transition defender. You see glimpses of this still here and there these days, but for the most part he just fucking stands there on D now, conserving energy for statpadding.
>>
>>144418361
Advanced metrics show that Jokic is actually an above average defender.
The eyetest shows the discerning viewer that he's excellent at contesting shots without fouling and that makes him very efficient defensively.
>>
>>144401375
Nobody who knows ball is shitting on AD for that play against Murray. Murray is supposed to win that matchup of small on big on the perimeter. AD is at a tremendous disadvantage on the perimeter against a small.
AD did all that he could - his excellent contest made Murray take a 10/10 difficulty shot. Murray just hit the 10/10 difficulty shot.
No reason to clown on AD for that.
AD is the most dominant defender in the league and has been for years. It's crazy he's never won DPOY. When he's on, nobody completely shuts down the paint like he does, and despite the result of that play against Murray, he's actually quite good at defending smalls on the perimeter as well. He's made Curry look awful on quite a few occasions on the perimeter, and that's no easy task.

>>
>>144451910
I don't believe he is that bad, its just the fact that he is the company of much better and tougher defenders while having extremely obvious deficits. Also that trade still raises questions of his value despite contributing to the number 1 defense in the league
>>
>>144453143
I do rate gobert as a tier 2 defender if AD is tier 1. But i also struggle with justifying 5 firsts for a 30 year old with no offensive game. Not that anyone expected him to carry the offense. But as said, his defensive impact just isnt all that

Why would the Nets give up any value for Jimmy when they have traded away every veteran on their roster for two years straight/traded back for their own picks? Why is everyone on here absolutely retarded when it comes to this sport?

Sean Marks could have a press conference saying “We’re tanking” and you’d still have people swearing up and down they want to max out a 35 year old player that has been injured the last two years
>>
>>144456542
Maxing out a washed player isnt bad when it comes to tanking especially now that being below the salary floor is penalized. Giving away picks would be braindead though
>>
>>144456921
Sean Marks takes back bad contracts for picks traditionally or attempts to sign RFA to poison pill contracts (Otto Porter Jr, Tyler Johnson, Allen Crabbe), maxing Jimmy makes no sense whatsoever it’s giving up the opportunity cost of developing players already on the roster and using that cap space to add talent that fits/assets.

At least Westbrick lost to the Heats' Big 3, Prime LeBron, Bosh and Wade, who are all Top-75 players. Little Jimmy got destroyed by grandpa LeBron and 1 other All-Star and Jokic with 0 All-Stars
>>
>>144465953
You misunderstand bro. Losing twice in the Finals to grandpa LeBubble and the fat Euro who can't beat a 50 win team makes him the greatest loser ever. No one can lose like Shemmy Butts
>>
>>144464923
The league shouldn't allow teams to give contracts that big to players that are under 25 just because they are talented cause we get shit like Morant, Zion, Simmons etc
Imagine being 22 years old and already have over 100 million dollars and without even winning anything up to that point
This kind of money makes them forget their love about basketball and just care about the next contract
>>
>>144466056
That's kinda why character/personality matters. You can be great and lazy as fuck.

>>144466056

Why do you try and deny guys their bag? The fact that Jokic is only entitled to as much money as Bradley Beal is already pathetic enough, if teams give out fat bags to zoomers who are more interested in becoming twitch streamers thats their issue. Player max contracts shouldnt be a thing
>>
>>144466056
It will sort itself out in the next CBA, league viewership is trending downward in part because the best players don’t even care about the game. I wouldn’t put Ja in that category necessarily but Simmons, Kawhi and Zion are a disgrace

Can you imagine if Kawhi wasnt a pussy, and just decided to come to the Clippers in free agency and say “hey I can figure this out” instead of engaging in a shameless and costly team up? They could have Kawhi, an ascendant (and homegrown) SGA, and the flexibility to do whatever they want. Instead they are stuck with nothing until 2030 and OKC has an incredibly bright future right now and years to come.

I always said SGA was good, I said he was a future All Star from his first year in the league, anyone with eyes could see his talent from even his early games, hes just smart, and prototypically physically built for the game, and he can score from anywhere, but hes just so smart around the basket, he contorts to score in unique ways, im honestly happy for OKC fans that they got what they needed seemingly out of nowhere.

Coincidentally he was drafted in nearly the exact same manner as Kobe Bryant - a draft night swap by Jerry West with the Charlotte Hornets, another legendary fleece. Some people just have an eye for that sort of thing I guess. Clippers should have stuck it out. Cowardly team ups are not, nor will they ever be the way.
