Punish Kawhi
no one would care if kawhi won a ring during this clips stint
Silver can’t ignore this can he? Will the NBA be exposed as a 60s tier mafia Ponzi scheme?
>>150756130Joe Ingles and Zaza seem like good guys after the Kawhi news dropped.
>>150756235Cuban exposed himself by coming to Ballmers defense so quickly. Dirk was 100% getting money under the table from “sponsorships”
>>150756130not a bad starting 5.
>>150756130
>>150756192>>150756235How will the clippers and kawhi be punished >take away draft picksLmao the Thunder own 90% of them. Only thing you’d take is a 1st 10 years from now and a random second 3 years from now>force ballmer to sellYou can’t do that, the older racism clippers owner wasn’t even forced to sell technically
>>150756130This starting 5 is very republican coded and I don’t like it.
Billionaire bros how do we explain this one?
>>150756505It's time for the billionaires to pay for their sins and then....continue to be billionaires
>only reason the nba is relevant anymore is to discuss the declining ratings, how players don’t give a shit about playing anymore, how horrible the commissioner is, and now about teams circumventing the salary cap to pay their insanely overpaid athletes even more money illegallyWhy is this league still relevant?
>>150756352The clippers picks in '27 and '29The '27 pick will be swapped with OKC's but the league can take away the OKC pick.Philly has the right to swap their '29 pick with LAC but who knows which team will be better at that pointLAC then has their own firsts from '30-'32.I think the league taking all five of those picks should be on the table, plus voiding Kawhi's contract while keeping the money on LAC's books.
Meal.
I miss lob city
>>150756505this is such a blunder since the company was just about planting treesall they had to do was plant some trees and not go bankrupt
>>150757342Lmaoo
>>150756281She’s fine asl
https://youtu.be/P28qO0IAWsAI miss them, I miss my goats, my unique and special dynasty that did everytbing different and stood out, and wasnt just a generic team, with da big guy, the other slightly smaller big guy, the good gaurd defender, the guard that gets to the free throw line, and one or two shooters. Basically, im saying that OKC are boring frauds
They were special when they were good :'(
>>150757908they were kind of stupid and faggy
>>150757908*when they were playing against Gaytum and Gaylen
This shit is open and shut. Nobody can even begin to explain why you would pay somebody almost 50 mil to do literally nothing. Said payment is by far the biggest cost to the company and worth more than all the other "endorsements" combined. Drop the hammer
>>150756130gobert is based
>>150758422That was a top defense team that washed everybody else in the east except the heat most of the time, and washed Kevin D's ass.The hardest championship finals of the 2020s so far, other than maybe 2020 Lakers
>use exorbitant wealth to break the rules of the league, shifting competitive balance>lie about it, get caught in said lie, double downvs.>say a no-no word in private while being secretly recordedGuess which one results in you losing your team?
when some white guy wants to be an NBA star>he must have been training since the age of 3 and have a wealthy, committed family that will finance and support himwhen some black guy wants to be an NBA star>they just take him as a teenager from a refugee boat or some african village and give him good food and steroidsit's a bit unfair
just spent $500 on a ticket to the laker opening... what the fuck even nose bleeds were like $300 minimumis this normal?
>>150759035>lakers>opening dayyes
The other thing that this Ballmer stuff has exposed is that all these environmental "companies" are just ponzi, laundering, etc. schemes. I'm really starting to think catastrophic climate change is fake and gay.
>>150759035Lakers are the most expensive tickets but yeah NBA games are not cheap unless you are going to a tanking team game. I used to go to local Gleague games with frens because ticket prices were dirt cheap so it was cheaper and funner than the movies sometimes.
>>150759688Knicks are the most expensive by far.
>>150758614>That was a top defense team that washed everybody else in the east except the heat most of the time, and washed Kevin D's ass.Is that supposed to be impressive? It's the fucking East, they are always trash>The hardest championship finals of the 2020s so far, other than maybe 2020 LakersThe Bucks one was more impressive than the Warriors one or at least equal. Also the mickey mouse ring is an asterisk, it's not even a real ring let alone a hard one
>>150760321That Suns team was completely fraudulent. Ayton just got bought out, CP3 was borderline washed.Those Bucks will probably be the weakest champ of the 20's.
>>150756407well you got a lot of ringless freaks on there so don't feel too bad
>>150760421That Bucks team wasn't a dynasty with multiple All-Stars and future hall of famers like the Warriors were. It was mostly just Giannis and a few good role players. That's why it's more impressive
>>150760421also booker's hammy was falling apart>>150760608we don't disrespect khris middleton here
>>150760608>That Bucks team wasn't a dynasty with multiple All-Stars and future hall of famers like the Warriors were.Retard. You should kill yourself
Luka will not carry Bron to another chipSorry bronsexuals
>>150760777Lakers have to wait for Bron to retire or request a trade to contend again. You simply can't have a 50+ mil a year player who is 40 on your roster and build a championship level team at the same time.
>>150760608>more impressiveJae Crowder was the primary defender on Giannis. What's impressive is how the Bucks actually managed to lose 2 games.
>>150760851With Deandre Ayton as the help defender/rim protector KWAB
>>150760608fuck off thanASSis
>>150760851That Suns team was unbelievably mid and wouldn't have made the finals without the short offseason tiring out the actual good teams.
>>150761503when ayton actually gave a fuck they were pretty competitive
How many chips would this squad win?
>>150762237are you pre-diabetic?
>>150756281I need a beautiful woman to feed me like that
>>150758422There wasn't a single NBA fan aside from Curry-diehards who thought they stood a chance against that Boston squad. Don't try to switch it up now like "they only beat a bunch of bum lmaoooo" Fucking revisionist history
>>150756281‘fraid so
>>150762888and then gaymond made a move to make sure that he and curry got all the credit
>>150759623imagine how bad it gets when the politicians get involved. scam city.>>150762117not winnin shit unless theyre facing hospital teams
My Hawks look elite this year, all lightskins and a Euro is a proven formula
>>150763546tray dung will find a way to disappoint
>>150764524No excuses this year, DPOY Dyson Daniels, healthy Jalen Johnson, growth spurt Zacc and maybe 40 odd games of Porzingis with a weak east. ECF or it’s time to move on from Trae
Doesn’t sound like they added anything to the MyEra/MyGM mode in 2k, can any anon here confirm they literally didnt add shit to it?
>>150764524elite defender
This is the OKC thunder, and their offensive and defensive rating in 2025
And this is who took them to Game 7.
>>150762237somehow these specific croissants actually look better and like they have more texture than the usual ones.
>>150765731Stats do not tell the whole story. That Pacer team was bad until January because of injury issues. During 2025 they had one of the best records in basketball.
It's funny because Pacers did have the blueprint for beating OKC in that last game. They were baiting Shai into taking a dozen bad 3s, but Myles Turner just wasn't a good enough rebounder to punish them for that, and Carlisle got CTE and benched Siakam for way too long in that 3rd for OKC to pull away
>>150765852Yes, that is somewhat my point, that stats dont say much actually. Still, I dont know how reasonable "They had one of the best records in 2025 (essentially jan to may) is, because that logic just as much applies to the Warriors and that team was clearly fucking garbage without steph and went to game 7 against a Houston team that they should NOT have, being up 3-1.
Okay, because this site is garbage I had to count the amount of wins myself despite highlighting the days in orange.But the Pacers from March to April had a 17-7 record.From Jan to April. Its: 33-14.Which isnt bad, but isnt some crazy dominant pace, thats still about 50% wins17-7 isnt great because I left put a lot of losses, and the warriors had a 25-3 record when butler game in or some shit.Gunna go count warriors from Jan to April now to equalize it a bit
Warriors are 33-18 from Jan to April. God what a garbage fucking team. So basically 4 more losses, which makes no sense to me, where the fuck did those 4 more games come from?
The 'cord wants to see Slam Dunk and The First Slam Dunk before the season starts.
>>150766862Didn't they lose to the Nuggets without Murray and Jokic one game kek? Gordon dropped like 40 on them
I’m bout to smoke weed with three white women, what am I in for?
>>150766967Loser. Dont insult my warriors only im allowed to.Kek, anyway did you know that my Warriors had a winning record against OKC? Not that it means much but warriors beat OKC early in the season with THIS garbage ass team.And before retarded kumingtard defenders start hopping about to defend him. BPodz was giving these kuminga tier points by the middle and end of the season. Kuminga also got incredibly lucky this game with a 72 FG%BUM sucks.God this team is so fucking garbage btw
>>150762237
>>150767124Yeah, that was the game your bum ass team injured Chet and took him out for half the season.
Pablo just keeps winning lmao
>>150767016They better not be fat
Kek and the one time OKC beats the Warriors, Curry isnt even playing.And again, before retards start trying to glaze Kumingtard. This bum got 19 points on 38% field goal percentage. The thunder were just trash so they only won by 4 points, in part because SGA needed 28 FUCKING SHOTE to get 35 points, and 6 of those points came from 6 for 10 free throws. He shot for 46% which only looks bettee because you dont see him going 3 for 12 from 3.To be fair, for some reason Jalen Williams takes like 6 shots the entire game, and Chet was missing, but you actually cant use the Chet excuse because their team was so good that they got the majority of their 68 win record without him.
>>150767200what's the excuse 68 win priveleged dogshit overrated team? retard.especially because such a good team WITH chet went to two game 7s in the playoffs with none of their players injured. loser
>>150767343Hartenstein was also missing that first game jeet, and Caruso and Chet were missing the second one. Take your head out of your ass and understand that your shitty warriors team is trash.>especially because such a good team WITH chet went to two game 7s in the playoffs with none of their players injured. loserJalen Williams was playing through a torn wrist ligament the entire playoffs dipshit
My warriors also beat the wolves 4-1 throughout the regular season, granted this specific game im highlighting, Ant shot 6 for 20.But if you actually looked closely at how garbage the wolves were playing in that series, and how many shots they were missing, youd understand that CURRY, and CURRY ALONE, because he carries this ENTIRE BUM TEAM ON HIS BACK WHEN HE CARES AND BELIEVES HE CAN (which is why Jimmy was important, less because he needed him, as shown by his wins against minnesota without him) would have beat minnesota.Btw, this game was won without Draymond playing. And Curry racking up 10 assists, so bums who say Currgoat is a draymond merchant need to hush up!
>>150767421>and Caruso and Chet were missing the second one.I already proved how the chet excuse is a loser excuse, but the Caruso excuse is pathetic.Anyway, what happened here, when the warriors beat your OKC with no thunder, and SGA dropping 52 points while being gifted 21 fucking freethrows kek, and making 18.Jdub also finally decided to shoot the ball and gave you 26 points...on 26 shots...lol.Are you seriously fucking telling me OKC needed to stack the deck THAT hard with Chet, Caruso, Hartenstein and everybody else, just to win against a draymondless Warriors (Kuminga wasnt in this game either) letting fucking Looney score 18 on them?What a joke. My warriors overcome odds, your OKC need to fix them.
>>150767828>draymond and Kuminga missing counts but Chet and Caruso doesn't because.....THEY JUST DON'T OK???Delusional. The only odds you're hitting is Curcuck getting injured again or choking another 3 - 1 lead. You're a clown.
Why does nobody mention the surprising amount of games draymond missed early season for the warriors? Im going full copium right now but if all my old niggas are healthy, we go 2nd seed this season.
>leaf on leaf violence
>>150756192He dindu nuffin. But for real. This shit has been going on for ages. I don't think it's right make an example out of him.
>>150767218>keeps winningexcept nothing ever happens
>Warriors close to agreement with Jonathan Kumingaare you fucking kidding me, entire off season and this is the biggest news
i think picrel would be a suitable punishment for ballmer and kawhisilver will have to arrange this somehow
>>150768500See, I don't think death is the worst punishment. Because after you die, you'll feel nothing. The worst punishment is to let them suffer forever, make them so miserable that they wish they can die but they can't.That said, we make Kawhi play 48 mins for all 82 games until his knees fall off.
Pablo bomb.https://x.com/pablotorre/status/1966981945767981355?s=46
>>150768201Oh no oh man :o)
>>150756281My mixed niece looks just like this. Shes got a nice body. Is it wrong I want to fuck her?
>>150757157Actually, I’d argue that the league is getting more and more kino.
>>150768865You need prison
>>150768807I don't know why these guys keep talking. There is literally no way to explain how that deal makes any sense from the perspective of the company unless it's a mask for something else. They literally got no benefit from it at all to the point where they didn't even announce it despite it being a supposed endorsement deal
>>150768865>My mixed nieceHow does she look white?
>>150757157We’ve never seen this level of talent or parity before, the greatest player of all time and Luka Doncic play on the same team with a DPOY/1st overall pick and they’re not even considered a top 15 roster
>>150758688This is why Kawhi kept getting hurt though, cheaters never prosper.
>>150768807I’ve been a clippers hate for over a decade. This is the best thing that’s happened since PG got Covid or that blown 3-1 lead vs Denver
>>150768912Mixed genes be be anywhere, especially since most American blacks aren’t 100% black.
>>150768749>we make Kawhi play 48 mins for all 82 games until his knees fall offabsolutely diabolical
>>150768865I thought you hated mixed people, weapschizo?
>>150768966most american blacks look 100% black anyway
>>150768951Based picrel
>>150768951something like 20 games my latest 2k17 season, the clippers fired glen rivers and i signed him to my team. for the challenge of it.
Curry fan logic
>>150768452if they fold for this bum they're retarded
/nba/ is team crawford correct?
>>150757157thats only when you pay attention to nba discourse, NBA is extremely kino right now all bullshit aside. Nobody even takes this shit seriously it's just funny drama to talk about because it's peak offseason and we're all just sitting around with our thumbs in our ass until the season starts
>>150770704the only one trick pony i like is Curry
>>150770704ye
>>150768896People do weird shit when they're backed into a corner.
>>150769418kys disingenuous retard>>150770980another disingenuous retard
>>150768951Damn. It's cold to be a Clippers hater. That's like hating on the kids in special ed.
https://x.com/samesfandiari/status/1966918567213101228and it goes way past the clippers. there's a reason why Cuban came rushing to ballmers aid, and silver has been quiet about it.
>>150772062I WANT JUSTICE I DON'T NEED ANY MORE EVIDENCEBAN THESE NIGGAS NOW YOU SHEISTY ASS JEW ADAM SILVER
>>150772521nogo watch some highlights

>LeMickey missed the playoffs then got swept and gentleman's swept the next three years
>>150772883But the summer league, leaf. He did jack
>>150772711we are currently consuming that free nba content he was talking about just by being even relatively on topic in this general>>150772922supreme dedication to the craft
>>150772947just believe
>>150767828You cooked here lmao >>150767421Cope harder retardInsane to me OKC was 3-1 all regular season to play-in teams, one was the warriors, and the other was Mavs without Luka fucking kek lol and Dinwiddie dropped nearly 30 on them
>>150773993>and the other was Mavs without Luka fucking kek lol and Dinwiddie dropped nearly 30 on themTurns out it's hard to win games when you're missing your starting 4 for 50 games and your starting 5 and 6th man for 25+ games. Who could've thunk?
>>150773993>You cooked here lmaoMy theory is that something is very wrong with either that OKC team, or the regular season, or just stats in general. Because I have zero idea how a 68 win team goes to a game 7 twice with zero injuries. People cope abour Jdub, but you cant use the injury excuse when not only do you win, but Jdub is averaging 17.6 points in the denver series before he gets injured, and then fucking 23.6 points after hes "injured" in the Pacers series.Also we talk about Jdubs injury, but conveniently forget Curries blatant hand injury this playoffs. And besides, Jdubs injury was never as bad as Curry doing the splits in 2016. Not only that but in 2016 Curry wasnt the only one injured and the most convenient finals ever on display occured for the cavs.
>>150774969Jdub got injured against the Suns in the regular season you moron. He had to completely redevelop shit shot in the last 2 weeks of the season and was getting shots before every single game just to play. >b-but CurcuckWill forever be known as the biggest choker in NBA history
>>150774815>>150775112based leafbro, the fact people are still seething about okc is too fucking funny
>>150756130i can't imagine gobert being the best center my team ever hadbro literally didn't do shit or go anywhere lmao. and he still hasn't...
>>150768920>greatest player of all timeMuggsy's been out of the league for years and Jordan sold the Hornets, who are you talking about?
>>150774969>very wrong with either that OKC teamI think Daigneults coaching is just kinda shit at times or more accurately his assistant coach's shit the bed when it comes to what they make him draw up, Boston had arguably a better winning ratio when you consider Boston was only a 3 wins off last years record and had old ass Jrue, Horford and Vanilla Embiid on their squad,A few things need to change if OKC wants to repeat without struggling... No more SGA foul baiting, the refs aren't gonna let them go on anymore, players and coaches have complained, and it'll change like Larden and his arm hookingtwo, more high level team basketball like Boston and Pacers, give Wallace, Joe, Topic(as well), Dub more touches, everyone should be individual playmakers more, they would've 4-0 the nuggets if they actually shot 50% from 3 like Boston was doing last year, its Daigneults job to fix that, he always talks in interviews about how teams are better when they beat OKC but I feel like he doesn't fix where they fall apart inThey rely to much on momentum and turnovers and but never closeout games, they also play like shit on the road, unlike Indy against Bucks and eventually injured Cavs and even Cavs before injuries in the playoffs against the Heat assraped Miami by 50 in their hometurfOKC was down by 30 against Play-in Memphis, and Morant said he had them figured them out and they injured the dude, like come on...... and they only won game 4 by 2 pts against Memphis, sheesh, the team can be Wizard/Hornets level at timesPeople say the Rockets and Lakers loss is what kept them from 70 wins but it was the mavs and warrior losses, imagine if they won those games, they arguably could've gotten to 75 wins maybe, >>150774815In the words of Black Jesus"Your just making excuses"
>>150775863You're retarded and I got CTE from reading this post. Why doesn't every time just shoot 50% from 3 like the Celtics? Why didn't the Celtics do that against the Knicks if it's so easy?
>/nba/ hyped up Nicole Chokic for years>he'll retire with 1 ringHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>150776283Are you retarded? I said Celtics were shooting 50% from 3 last year MapleAnon, that was good coaching from Mazzula, no egos and demands over touches, no-one could be guarded specifically and they were able to close out the finals without any stress, OKC choking game 1 against Indy was befuddling to me meanwhile Celtics swept em last yearand game 1 against Denver, with Holmgren missing FTs, the simple truth with someone similar to Mazzula's style OKC would've won in fewer games, their 3 point volume ratio was shit and their individual playmaking was ass without Shai
>>150776571>Are you retarded? I said Celtics were shooting 50% from 3 last year MapleAnon,And when were they doing that? Certainly wasn't during their own finals against the Mavericks where Tatum and Brown were building houses. >that was good coaching from Mazzula, no egos and demands over touches, no-one could be guarded specifically and they were able to close out the finals without any stress,And the same Mazulla refused to make any adjustments to his memechuck strategy and choked multiple games away to the knicks this year. Why are you ignoring this? Better yet, why are you pretending OKC has any shooters as good as Derrick White, Al Horford, or Jrue Holiday, the latter two who were both shooting above 40% from 3 for the season in 2024. 3 point volume means nothing when your entire team is shooting below league average and your 3 best players are shooting below 30%. I don't think you even watched OKC play since every single second Isaiah Joe was on the floor that wasn't garbage time was him getting attacked on defense and him bricking 3s like the rest of the team.>OKC choking game 1 against Indy was befuddling to me meanwhile Celtics swept em last yearOk, you're just trolling at this point. Thanks for wasting my time.
>>150768807OK but isn't this one of the guys who would oversee the companys many other fraudulent deals? Of course he's gonna deny going along with anything and hope for some good pr
>>150776841In game 2 and 3 they were streaky and but everyone on the team could all hit 3sMavs had just 2 shooters and Luka played too much Iso, >refused to make any adjustments to his memechuck strategyBut the games they won against New York were blowouts and they only lost the first 2 games against Knicks by a very few points >you're just trolling at this point.Where was the lie? OKC choked a winnable game 1 against Indy, Boston memechucks and yet always cameback and closed out games against Indiana last year and even against most teams they faced, OKC just always seemed to live and die by the whistle with SGA driving to the rim,>why are you pretending OKC has any shooters as good as Derrick WhiteThey don't, especially in the playoffs, Joe is ass and looked like 2011 finals Lebron, dude couldn't score like Curry or Klay,Bostons squad was older and was more efficent at 3 point scoring, OKC was the youngest squad in a long while and many athletic wings and couldn't hit 3s to save their lives Reminder bitch,Boston 64-18 in 2024 , their core played like 10 games together, load management and injuries This year 61-21, same squad aging/injured cast even more, and still a dominant season, OKC 57-25 and choked to fat Luka and withering Kyrie in game 6OKC 68-14, insanely young core and went 7 games with an injured weaker Nuggets that didn't have the original championship squad, and a no-name Pacers Squad that looked like Christian Varsity basketball teaminjured Boston blew out Magic in game 5, and blew out Knicks in the games they won and Tatum got injured in game 4,
>>150776565>gets 1 rang without fleeing with tears in his eyes to somebody else's teamso he's better than lebum is what ur sayin
I should have invested in a 151 Charizard card when I had the chance...Fuck the Lakers and fuck El Hijo de LeBron James.
>>150778166LeBron and Ash Ketchum have many similarities>Fatherless>Their mothers bore them at a very young age>Have more crucial losses than wins>different skillset/team every season
>>150778260damn...
>>150775863>they arguably could've gotten to 75 wins maybewould have been insanely inflated theres simply no way.dudes lost to a draymondless warriors, with kevin looney as their 3rd highest scorer.like what the fuck is that competition? im sus about the 2025 season in general.i was looking at warriors games against sun, lakers etc. and the amount of times randomly that players like anthony davis, or kevin durant were missing was astonishing.im sure in the grand scheme of things it doesnt actually come out to that many missed games, but when people are quibbling over how okc could have totally gotten 70+ wins, it has to matter
>>150778260The similarities are uncanny
>>150778260is there something resembling crack in the Pokemon universe? because that'd be yet another similarity to highlight in your Lebron James comparison.
>>150771791nta but I don't like the clippers either because I'm a lakers fan and their whole identity is that "we're the edgy and gritty version of the lakers but not the lakers" at the same time>>150772062holy shit, forget selling the team, clippers might be the first team to get relegated or banned entirelybrunson and the knicks are probably the next team going under a microscope
>>150780668>dudes lost to a draymondless warriors, with kevin looney as their 3rd highest scorer.>like what the fuck is that competition? im sus about the 2025 season in general.Meanwhile your precious Warriors lost to Kobe's 17 win Lakers team and the fucking Andrew Wiggins Timberwolves. Just shut up already
We gon get Wiggins
>>150780668Again I wasn't being ultra-serious in 75 wins, but my point was, they won 50+ games without Chet to teams that beat the play-in teams they LOST to, like them beating Miami only for Miami to starch/beat Golden State a month later, and before that back in JanuaryWhich leads to me to believe the team is weirdly inconsistent, but thats def a issue where the FO needs to fix that, cause its like they choke wins in a painful way,and other than Jdubs wrist injury there was no other injuries and no player was aging, meanwhile Boston oldest starter playing the 3rd most important role was fucking 50 year old Al Horford and their SG had a shooting finger injury and was pushing 40Boston has excuses OKC just simply doesn't, if OKC was well coached by someone like Mazulla or Prime Carlile then they'd arguably get to 70+ ish wins, they just gotta shoot 3% and playmake individually, it cannot be Shai 24/7 driving to rim and flopping and no look passes, one of those falls are gonna hurt him eventually

Why did Curry beg KD to join?
>>150787744I also want to know the answer to that question. People talk shit about KD all the time for joining a 73 win team but no one even asks why Steph flew from California all the way to New York to recruit KD to the team
>>150783578Kobe dickriders, bottom would destroy
>>150783578Other than kd bottom is better at all their positions, better defense, 2 elite 3pt shooters. Bottom team wins in 5

I haven't posted here in months. Since my teams season ended actually. Good to see my /nba/ friends still going along. Excited for the season to start. In fact, during the offseason I transitioned to a woman so this will be the first season in my true form! :)

>indiana fever>atlanta dreamI guess you could say its a fever dream
>>150796032Nigga expected us to laugh
>>150795199What Andrew Wiggins as the franchise player does to a mfer
>>150783578>nerfing LeBrons team by giving him westbrickSo fucking funny.
>>150783578Bottom has 4 of the top 5 peaks ever in jordan, kg, durant, and shaq. Meanwhile you're giving lebron "wemby" "westbrook" "kobe" even wilt is laughable compared to shack. Also cp3s peak clears westbrook and it isn't even close.
>>150796246That's Kobe's team. LeBeta is not even the second best player on that team
Kobesisters…
>>150797012The answer is the little bitch who went team-hopping, chasing help.
>>150798504Jordan when he didn’t have Scottie and Phil anymore to carry the load?
>>150798680Yes, joining a team that was 19-63 the previous season is "team-hopping, chasing help."Is you retarded? Was you educated?
I have accomplished nothing in my life during the offseason.
>>150798777Tatum but instead of the offseason it's his entire career....
>>150798772Prime Larry Hughes was more than enough for young LeBron to get to the Finals
>>150798902Young LeBron was carried by Big Z.
the overlap of lil b's kd curses and durants career high and lows is mindblowing
>>150799027>removes his curse when KD joins a team that cannot loseWhat a surprise.
>>150799062Is it a coincidence it is the same team Lil B tried out for (Santa Cruz Warriors) several years beforehand and he is a Bay Area artist as well?
LeBron's 2006-2007 path to the NBA Finals:>a 41-41 Washington Wizards team without Gilbert Arenas or Caron Butler, the team's two leading scorers>a 41-41 Nets team>Detroit, who was a shell of what they were the previous year when they still had DPOY Ben Wallace
>>150799377Michael Jordan's path to all his NBA finals>plumber teams that would get swept by any half decent 2010s or 2020s team
>>150787265All mainstream sports media will suck off the big market/big brand teams, but basketball media in particular is especially bad with it. Hell, they're DEFENDING Ballmer because the Clippers are in LA.
>>150799526
>>150795199>In fact, during the offseason I transitioned to a womanIt doesn't really happen that fast
>>150799599I LOL every single time this image BTFO out of the "b-but Jordan's competition" and "b-but look at who was guarding Jordan" arguments.Nigga scored 17 PPG against JJ Barea.
My team will make the play-ins this season.
leaf jeets dad is losing his mind
>>150799599>>150799751Hilarious like we didnt see Muggsy Bouges lock down Jordan.
>>150800160Muggsy was top 10 in the league in steals for three seasons.You're referring to a single play, NOT in the Finals, whereas LeBron repeatedly refused to try to score on JJ fucking Barea in the NBA Finals.
Lucky kids. Good thing they look like Giannis clones. I would be depressed if I was the son of Giannis and I looked more like my hog mother. Ugly bitch. Good god, literally looks like an orc from WoW or one of those ugly fish from Mario.
So...erm....did anybody notice a name missing from the All-Star 5?
>mfw LeMickey loses any game
>>150800358where are the cookies
Do you really count the 2018 finals against LeBron?
Damn Turkey lost? Im sad for Goon

>release the smoking gun you faggot oh wait you don't have one LMAO get rektCubes keeps obliterating us Pablobros we need something big or the billionaires are going to get away with it!!!!
>>150816234the nba doesn't need a smoking gun. This isn't a court of law. As is there is no explanation for how any of the Kawhi deal makes sense and that's enough circumstantial evidence for a hammer. Stuff like the leafs and lakers corroborating the setup also makes it much worse
>>150816301>This isn't a court of lawAkshually, if the NBA wants to punish the Clippers, they'll have to prove in court or before an arbitrator (if they have such an agreement) that the Clippers are in breach of contract.
>>150816234shit bait you already got btfo last thread
Giannis be so thin skinned at any criticism man lol. Acts so humble and above it but tell him any part of his game isnt perfect and he seethes
>>150812626They are from the same tribe
1 usa2 germany3 canada4 serbia5 france6 turkey7 8910No clue about the other 4 but i reckon australia makes the cut
>>150817352Puerto rico and the dominan republic. I think theres been a global decline in basketball strength worldwide. Outside the top 10 most teams are kind of garbage. Im not even sure id include puerto rico. Top 8 seems clear though
>>150816064nah
>>150817424Domincan republic is pretty bad outside KAT right now. And Australia also fell off. Giddey and Dyson are not a threat as they are in any shape
Last autistic post, revised list for 2027 wc1 usa2 canada 3 france4 germany5 turkey6 serbiaUSA on top, sga and his other boys will probably peak by then. France got wemy and the others. Half of germanys golden generation will decline, the others improve. Turkeys key players will almost all get better. Serbia has good youth talent but their guys are getting older and jokic is being beaten like a horse. I dont think anyone else has a shotnat winning unless a miracle happens
>>150817609I'd put France above Canada for now. We could very well be better but it'll all depend on how Edey develops
>>150817609I think my post could age like absolute shit but i believe germany has peaked. Theis, Voigtmann, Schroder are at an age where will all decline. Tristan da Silva has some potential but hes been pretty bad. Germany main strength is their depth not individual player quality and the moment half their guys are gone it will be the wagners, bonga and obst.
>>150817876Moritz Wagner, Isaac Bonga and Obst are all role players who can be great but shouldnt be relied on to carry a team. Franz, as good as he is, hasnt shown mvp level skill. To me itsAmerica>huge gapFranceCanada>gapTurkeyGermanySerbia>huge gapAnyone else

>>150818673Top comment said it well, tmac could never make it out the first round as the guy. Kobe has 5 rings and 7 finals. Didnt even watch the video to know skap was based as usual
>0 investigations being done by the NBA>0 investigations being done by law enforcement>0 evidence that Ballmer or the Clippers did anything wrong>0 draft picks lost>all circumstantial evidence DESTROYED by Mark Cuban's legal analysisWhy is Pablo still so smug? He has absolutely nothing.
>>150818694>Didnt even watch the video to know skap was based as usualSkap is a delusional Curry hater, that literally learned advanced analytics only so that he can glaze Curry, and is a premier Denver downplayer and Warriors upplayer and only talks about competition to put down Curry and elevate Kobe, but conveniently when it comes to Jokic, no 50 win teams escapes his vocabulary
>>150818722im probably gonna check out even more this year if the clippers are just alllowed to get away with this
>>150818726Jokic beat the 50 win allegations this year, unless youre refering to a video before this seasons playoffs
>homeschoolers get better test scores>the best ballers no longer play for their high school team even if they do go to a schoolOnly poorfags and losers go to high school anymore. Damn I wish I was growing up now or better yet 10 years from now when these failed institutions are even more publicly exposed.
>>150818729The current cap rules where put in place to try to lower the power of ultrarich owners only for Ballmer to be exposed. What a joke if nothing happens to him.
>germany won gold playing not a single top 5 team until finalsIts not fair...

>[Charania]: The Atlanta Hawks are trading guard Kobe Bufkin to the Brooklyn Nets for cash considerations, sources tell ESPN. Bufkin was Atlanta's No. 15 pick in the 2023 NBA draft, and this now gives him a fresh opportunity in Brooklyn, and the Hawks some roster flexibility.Bad time to be an undersized combo guard that’s not a good playmaker
Cam Thomas x Kobe Bufkin kino
>>150818673fantasy: tmac is just as good as or even better than kobereality: tmac never made it out of the first round even with a free series against baron davis and a bunch of ultra shitters
>>150818915what is Brooklyn even doing? their team is going to be a day-care center
>>150818952It’s gonna be competition in that training camp! They have 15 guards
>>150818915>1st round pick traded as a pure salary dumpIf you were a 1st round pick and you wash out, you weren't putting in the work. He'll be a gleaguer for a couple seasons before getting bounced from the league.
>>150819083>If you were a 1st round pick and you wash out, you weren't putting in the workNot necessarily. Bufkin was hurt a ton, and the team jumped on a bunch of free agents to try and win now so they can't wait for him anymore.He'll get another chance somewhere.
>>150818915KD was talking about this on Lebron's pod. 6'2 and under guys will soon be undraftable.
>>150819123I already wouldn't draft a guy 6'3 and under. It's the easiest position to fill out in the league.
>>150819174I wouldn't draft any guy 6'5 and under myself.
>>150819303I could see merit in drafting a 6'5 3+D guard in the second round
Why are most short guards KWAB’d but you still have Garland, Trae, Mitchell, and Brunson dominating and the focal point of their teams to varying degrees
>>150819395The names you listed are elite (aside Trae).
>>150819123Damn so there's definitely no hope for me then
>>150819585Never say never
>>150819395Most guards are highly skilled but learned the wrong skills and are brainlets. So they can wow you but have no place in a league that plays increasingly team and scheme oriented offense and defense.
>>150819663Thanks Mario
>>150819585all they have to do is revert dribbling rules back to the way it was and these tall guys won't be able to anymore
Holy fuck I'm a fag. I might as well put on a dress and let men fuck my bussy with their huge cocks.

>>150819827Im taking 10% of the max contract youre signing next year
>Suns and Kings want Kuminga but Warriors don't want to trade himIdk who's more retarded, Suns and Kings for giving him that huge contract or Warriors for not wanting to get rid of him
>>150820331Depends on what the Kangz are sending back. If I'm the Warriors, I'd rather lose Kumnigga for nothing than take back some shitty salaries that might fuck up the cap. Warriors are probably just playing hardball though knowing they have all the time in the world.
This team actually looks good but this general is full of haters.

Why are people body-shaming Chet ITT? Aren’t we better than this?
>>150826366Idk why ppl are so obsessed with wanting Chet and Wemby to gain weight. It's like they want them to retire by age 28 or something
I feel like my knees are gonna cave in on themselves, so I probably gotta start chugging weight-loss pills again, and I might as well make another ragebait post of hot takes1. OKC doesn’t repeat for a few reasons, Topic gets re-injured/busts, and Chet gets hurt and breaks his ankle like G-Hayward, forcing him to be traded off and waived. OKC sends picks and him to the Wizards/Nets like the Lakers did with Westbrick to Utah. Sam Presti gets fired and replaced with Bob Myers, who comes out of retirement and does something crazy. Daigneault barely survives, they almost fire him,2. Rockets win a ring this year. KD somehow stays healthy, Sengun & Thompson break out like Brown & Tatum, develop a 3-point shot, and carry the offense. Udoka wins Coach of the Year. Sheppard breaks out and becomes Klay/Steph 3.0, shooting 50% from three.3. Nuggets fall short due to injuries. Murray gets hurt, Cam gets hurt again, Hardaway doesn’t adapt to Adelman’s style, Brown plays ok but load manages as well. Joker says “fuck this,” declines his player option, the NBA goes crazy as 20 teams open up cap space. Joker pulls a Kevin Durant–style “decision” & joins OKC with the open cap, forms superteam with Shai. Bruce Brown joins along on a minimum since his Denver contract ends that year as well. Denver becomes a lottery team and has to rapidly rebuild4. Lakers miss the playoffs. Smart gets injured & nearly commits seppuku to join his ripped relatives. Ayton tears his Achilles. LeBron’s age becomes the most evident as he can barely run up and down the court and is a shell of himself. Luka pretty much quiet quits on the Lakers5. Wemby wants out of San Antonio after all the losing and wants to join Houston with KD. Fox gets injured again. Spurs can’t do shit because of his retarded expensive contract. They make the play-in, but Mitch Johnson’s shit coaching causes them to choke6. Curry retires. Draymond requests a buyout & ends his career on the Cavs or Lakers
>>150825609get rid of the brainy/veiny textured bit and i like them
>>150826413>Idk why ppl are so obsessed with Centers actually fulfilling and doing their fucking job that they're being paid millions forCause Shaq and Giannis? We dominant strong fat muscular centers, not these skinny vanilla faggots who are disrespectful to the sport of hoops,and give me a (you), you bitch, im lonely
>>150826489curry is still thirsty for number 5 and i think hes willing to play for another team to get it
>>150826413because both of them at their optimal position are Cs and Cs still have to bang in the paint which takes muscle. You see it all the time with them how the smarter players just body them and that's without getting into all the body fighting that happens in the paint when the stakes turn up. They both have to put on weight in the long term because in addition to all that their salaries won't allow them to have dudes like iHart to cover for them
>>150826545You could be right, but he has one more year after this and no team option too the following season, so he's gonna be old when he gets UFA so in like 2027, no guarantee on how the teams will look next season, and he had a nagging back injurybut Chet and his retarded contract getting moved off the books and the CBA changing will be a huge X-Factor, on if OKC can contend and if Curry can join, Just in general though, Lakers is a nada, Curry is smart enough to know what happened to Westbrick, Clippers as well fuck no, I can't really think of a team Curry could join thats actually contending by then, maybe Cavs if they can get D-Mitchell and the others to take a cut and its where Curry was born
>>150826613a wild take from me might be portland, they got so much big man talent and a good piece in avdija. by the time curry could leave he would be a great fit.
>>150826489There's a difference between hot takes and just writing NBA fan fiction. You haven't given any real takes just stuff you hope happens or whatever. Thanks for the effort though
>>150825609if I was a girl id let him fuck the shit out of me.
>>150820643Klutch Mafia, LeXing, and JJ Reddit:>reee fuck this guy, He's 7' DLo, he's a space cadet who doesn't understand the defensive and offensive scheme aiiiiiyeeeeeLuka:>lol hey he caught the lob I can work with this lmao
LMAOOOOOOOOO
>>150826661Which part do you disagree with? I'm very curious >Inb4 hurr durr im trolling1. I'm definitely right about the Spurs one, they've sucked for a while, noone passes the ball to Wemby, he's bullied and hacked, and Mitch Johnson is a glorifed DEI hire, Pop is OLD as fuck and has been shit at coaching for awhile Spurs have missed playoffs over and over, Kenny Atkinson was somehow able to turn the fucking Cavs around and Cavs barely traded anyone the time he was hired, why can't Mitch? 2. Lakers are in a horrible spot cause they gave away their last bit of picks to get DFS just for the dude to walk and LeJew opted in instead of taking a cut,They could thug it out until to 2027 off season cause thats when D-Mitchell, KAT, Greek Freak, AD, ALL those guys hit FA, but there's no guarantee or cap space that they trust the Lakers to help them get a ring3. John Wall and Jeremy Lin retired recently, the players pension is thing you know, not everyone has to hoop until they're 40 like LeBarbie4. Murray looked awful and hopeless in the playoffs, he looked fat desu and wasn't cutting corners or being reliable, I know he got sick and ankle hurty but he's being paid 50 million, and he also missed time in the regular season and Nuggets lost in games against GSW and Wolves cause of that
>>150826739There's nothing to agree or disagree with. You just invented stuff
Why am I only learning now that Franz Wagner is 6-10?

Also, Shaq is only 7 ft and Giannis is only 7'11.Yao Ming was 7'6, 310 lbs and was out of league before his 10th season because of his bad back. Tingus is 7'2, 240 lbs, and look how he is. He's never played more than 66 games after his rookie year.>>150826584Not saying you're wrong. But would you rather them have a decent, long career or dominant but short career and have to deal with terrible health after they retire? I don't really want to see them end up like Embiid, it's really sad. Personally, I feel that even if they can't dominate in the paint like Shaq, they can still be effective in other ways, i.e., being a stretch 5.
based or cringe?
>>150826584>You see it all the time with them how the smarter players just body themLike who? And don't say Jokic.
>>150826489>so I probably gotta start chugging weight-loss pills againWhy can't you just adjust your diet? I'm already down from 83 kg to 78 kg just by changing my diet and doing some bodyweight exercises.
>>150826912>Giannis is only 7'11.Kek,So there’s a bit to unpack here.These are nuanced situations. At 21 and 22, sports science can help their longevity like KD and LeBron. And again, for what they’re being paid and the positions they play, I think it’s a fair demand to want them to get bigger.Shaq fell off in his career because he was an inconsiderate fat fuck who ate like a pig in the offseason, then played back into shape. He also took a lot of contact, with all the jumping and dunking on his knees.Tingus was playing and hooping fine for Lithuania. The guy had post-viral breathing syndrome and is also a pretty foreign player. Maybe the USA food affects him.Yao Ming I get but he was also the tallest, and he was Chinese. Not saying that made him less of a player, but genetics and location play a huge part. Ming also played before advanced sports science.And inb4 Ralph Sampson again, wayyyy before sports science.Hakeem played until about 40, so I’d say he’s an example of a profoundly healthy 7-footer. Giannis could play until 40 too, if he keeps in shape which he will.In terms of how I feel about Wemby: I think his build is okay, but he still needs more mass. A few pounds and he’ll be at KD’s weight. Chet, on the other hand, looks like a lost cause. He’s the most undersized 7-footer, and it’s fucking disgusting he’s being paid $50 million, doing corny Snapchat dances, and just frolicking around like a fucktard, and he's been undersized since High School and College, the guy is a fucking clown, is a walking injury risk
>>150826950Tried everything, the weight refuses to come off, I'm not a fan of tracking calories, I rarely consume seed oils either NO Doritos, Snickers, Skittles.Only diet sodas, ground beef, pasta, etc. The pills help me from ballooning to 260. I might have a thyroid issue, or it could just be my age. I was as low as 195, then I got a new job and started going up in weight.Like one week I was back up to 210, then 220, 227, and then nearly 250. It’s scary stuff, because you’re always critical of My 600-lb Life people, and then you realize wow, I could end up like that in just 3 years of sitting around on a bed with an enabling lover.I’ll take my chances, adjust my diet a bit, and maybe I can get down to 228. I’m around 239-ish, and/or that’s what the scale shows. It’s the only way I could probably get a chance with my work wife if I slim down.
>>150826936Based
>>150826413Chet is better off KDmaxxing than Giannismaxxing. He will never be physically dominant, of course he should gain some muscle, but becoming a genuine shot creator who can shoot over mismatches will benefit him more than having slightly below average strength. He’s a top 3 rim protector in the league already, doesn’t get bodied nearly as much as people say he does
>>150826945Don’t you know? Zubac and Isaiah Stewart have been giving Chet and Wemby BUCKETS!! They just can’t handle the raw strength….
Bros, my dick is 7.75 inches long, just under 8. Is that good?
>>150826936im not sure ive seen an nba player drive a car i actually like
>>150826759He’d have all nba first team potential if he could shoot. The shot will never be above average though, and he’ll never do it well off the dribble even if the catch and shoot comes around
Who is the twinkle of your team, /nba/?
>>150827009>>Giannis is only 7'11Ah damn. Minor spelling mistake.>Tingus was playing and hooping fine for Lithuania. The guy had post-viral breathing syndrome and is also a pretty foreign player. Maybe the USA food affects him.Sorry but that doesn't make sense. Like i said, he never played more than 66 games ever since his rookie year. It's because he kept getting random foot injuries before he went to the celtics. When he's healthy, he's definitely an all star player.>Hakeem played until about 40, so I’d say he’s an example of a profoundly healthy 7-footerDifferent era, he didn't need to run much, but I'll accept your point since he's relatively skinny.If they really, really need to gain weight, I think they should be like Hakeem or a skinnier Tingus for the perfect balance in terms of longevity and efficiency.>>150827035>It’s the only way I could probably get a chance with my work wife if I slim down.Damn bro. Good luck! Hope you get her.
>>150827052Yeah, I said it in my other comment, they can still be a good stretch 5 even if they can't dominate in the paint
>>150827104>Like i said, he never played more than 66 games ever since his rookie year.My mistake, I think Tingus's issue is conditioning for sure though, Durant tore his fucking achilles and missed time and came back better,>If they really, really need to gain weight,Chet absolutely needs to gain weight, he's actually undersized and is just a blight on the court visually, I just cant get over him being so soft and lousy on the court, he's paid too much for that shit, and he missed 50 games and they won around 40+ without him anyways, I think its just stupid to give him that amount and since his value is high cause they won a ring, they could've fleeced another team like Philly by trading him for Maxey, if they're gonna throw someone on the salary cap who pricey and get a profound bucket getter>Good luck! Hope you get her.Thanks man,
>>150827052KDmaxxing is never a good idea. Its been tried for 15 years and the best result was brandon ingram
Chet did fantastic on all of his main matchups this postseason, save for Jokic (who will score on anyone, especially guys like Gobert, Chet, and Wemby that have higher centers of gravity than him.
>>150820842It's actually another Pistol Pete thread, not a Utah Jazz one
>>150827174I’m not saying that he’ll emulate KD, but just that he’s much closer to doing that than emulating Giannis, or whoever else became dominant after bulking up. He isn’t particularly athletic and doesn’t have a good frame, what sets him apart offensively is being able to dribble and shoot fluidly whole being one of the longest players in the league. There’s no point in ceding some of that just so he can back down players who he could shoot over anyway.
>>150827226Thats fair
The end of an era....
>>150827422Arguably a bigger blow than when Max was let go.
>>150827503>blowthere was most certainly blowing going on
How was LeBron able to fire an Israeli coach in David Blatt? Saw the guy during euroleague finals, got a better hairline than bron too
>>150827561kek i wish molly would fuck me too
>>150827570apparently klutch media has ties that go as deep as China
Lebron is everywhere...
>>150826635The most realistic option is Indiana if the core is still there and Haliburton recovers well like Durant, the small ball, movement/offball shooting enviroment by Carlisle is what Curry was born to thrive inCurry has played like shit in GSW since Klay, Iggy, Durant, Poole, Looney, Livingston all have long left the team or retired, cause he cant be protected on defense, and Draymond is older and slower
>>150827828>Curry has played like shit in GSW since Klay, Iggy, Durant, Poole, Looney, Livingston all have long left the team or retired, cause he cant be protected on defense, and Draymond is older and slowersimply not true
>>150827840Its true thoughHes still solid but he got hurt on his buttcheek(kinda) and then had super shit games where he scored 10-15 pts he was killing people's parlays, and even Draymond fucking outscored himThe roster around him is shit and he cant create as much anymore, a team thats strong defensively Pacers or OKC but lags in offense, he can elevate and get the 5th or 6th ring easily
Yeah, as disgusting as stephs team is he had quite a lot of ridiculously bad games this season
>>150827855curgoat is still a top 4 player in the league. you are wrong
>>150827896Whos better? Jokic Shai Luka?
>>150827905sgay, jokek, and edwards
>>150827925Edwards top 3 is absurd..
>>150828062he is the ultimate 2-way weapon man. you'll start to see more of how dangerous he is next season since the wuffs will be better
>>150827742That's what he would be doing if he was 5 inches shorter
>>150827063anyone got an answer for me?
>>150828062This>>150825164Meant for this
>>150820597Monk is owed $38.98M in the next 2 seasons with a $21.5M PO in the 3rd year. Since his archetype is no longer gets paid under the new CBA you can bet your left leg he's going to pick it up. No wonder he has no takers despite the Kings tireless efforts to trade him for months. Whatever value that 1st brings to the table Monk's contract nullifies it, not to mention the overlapping skill sets with some of their other guards. Meanwhile a player with Kuminga's profile is precisely what the Warriors need, if he got his shit together and wouldn't be a ball-stopper who plays sporadic defense he would've had a new contract already. The Kings - Monk pairing works and he brings value to the team, the question is at what price in a question's literal sense. They're basically offering him Monk's salary slot hoping he matures and rounds up his game, in which case he'd exceed his contract and solve their Small Forward issues for a while. Despite being only a few years older Monk is a finished product and players who can replicate most of his skills can be gotten for cheaper.

>>150828859Why did he get so much hate?
>>150828879>>150828913Most came from Slovenia presumably, it was for him scoring a layup in the final seconds once the players had made the tacit agreement to stop playing because France had already effectively won. I don’t really understand why people get so arsey about that, fans or players.

>>150829589Human DNA cannot determine the difference between race. The only difference between a black, brown or white person is the melanin in our skin. Take dogs for example, dogs are literally different species. Not the case with humans. We all are one. Racism is a social construct.
