>giannis moved his family out of Milwaukee in favor of GreeceWhy?
>>151261667safer. He wants to get away from the blacks
chronic wasting disease edition
Jokic is 0-8 vs the Wolves since this.BAWBs, what is your response?
>>151261830muh advanced stats locked up by Mr. Clean
>>151261635Reminder that Giannis Antetokounmpo bleaches his skin.
>>151261830None. BAWBS like to talk the most shit, and when it comes, they run and pull every excuse in the book as to why the belt they received happened.Don’t run when it comes.
really hoping my boy is okay in time for the season opener
>>151261641>Bro never heard of Monta Ellis.What does he have to do with this?
>>151261937Someone added vanilla to the HGH.
wuffs
jokic really let this guy get fired
My nigga is still unsigned :'(
.
>>151262192league not ready
>>151261830
>>151262292>>151261953Stay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back
>>151261937I just assumed he never went outside like me
>>151262158Russ was actively harming the Nuggets by the end. Same bricklayer he always was except now he can't dunk or make layups either. Still does that shit where he dribbles into a defense, jumps, and then just heaves the ball wherever because he never had any idea where he was going. Commits bad fouls. Just completely unreliable and useless in pretty much every way
>>151261978>TJ has a hammy issue>thin PG depthSounds like the Pacers need some WestJOSEPHSMITH or Sosho in their lives
>>151262401Nah, skin bleaching is a common thing in Nigeria. The disparity in skin tone between Giannis and his brother on the left can't be explained by tanning. Giannis is a full-blooded African and he's lighter than many African-American players, most of whom have significant white ancestry.
>>151262152Firing your coach after winning a chip is part of the process in the modern NBA.
>>151261830its over
if westbrick goes to the rockshits and wins a ring it will be one of the top 5 best hips of all time. they could make it into a hollywood NBA version of brokeback mountain.
>>151262588His skin color seems pretty consistent with him in his younger days. She he either started when he was a prospect or his dad got cucked.
>>151262883Yes, because he's being doing it for most if not all of his life, and it would be weird and conspicuous if he stopped. And actually there have been times when his skin is noticeably darker than usual, due to him temporarily pausing his skin bleaching routine, like during some years of international play.
It’s time to admit to ourselves that Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley did a good job of building a young team with upside greater than that of the previous team that they tore down while telling the rabid fanbase that wants to fire and ship out everyone year after year that we are not rebuilding.>Josh Giddey>Coby White>Patrick Williams>Matas Buzelis>Nikola Vucevic>Sixth Man: Ayo Dosunmu>Issac Okoro>Zach Collins>Kevin Huerter>Tre Jones>Jalen Smith>Julian Philips>Dalen Terry>Noa Essengue>Yuki KawamuraYFWYMADB? Your face when you’re mad at da Bulls?
>>151262588>look it up>77% of women in Nigeria lighten their skinWhat the fuck
>>151263034>>151262588youre retarded, i literally have skin about as light as him and im nigerian, skin varies a lot in lighting, and there are a lot of nigerians that are just fairly light, its not light skin, but when i was young i used to call my skin ton caramelpic as proof, the colour varies based on how much light is reflected, in the sun my skin looks closer to yellow than brown
>>151263119It's such a tragedy that the Bulls didn't win the lottery. Flagg/Buzelis/Giddey would have been so kino.
Carry the hell on...
>>151263119oh good you fixed Josh Giddey's name this time
>>151263171Iirc giddeys lakers clutch shot actually fucked up their odds
>>151263157yea that guys retarded, skin tone varies, some of my siblings are dark skin and some are light skins, im dark as hell
>>151263157Pic related is the natural skin tone of most Nigerians. Lighter skin in Nigerians is due to bleaching.It has nothing to do with lighting. We can easily compare Giannis to other players and even his own brothers in the same exact lighting and see that his skin is lighter.
Is flagg good enough to be a superstar at some point I'm watching his games and that boy tuff
>>151263266his dad is on the dark side and his mom the light
>>151263294Yes. Cooper Flagg is going to win Finals MVP this season. He will be the next face of the league.
>>151263324His mom bleaches. See >>151263144The question is why bleach some kids and not the others? It's a legitimate question. I guess Giannis was more receptive to it than his brothers for whatever reason. It's simply not normal to see brothers with that degree of skin tone variance, even when the parents have European admixture.
>>151263144Just like how skin whitening products are popular in india. Like it or not, fair skin is a beauty standard in modern society
So is he playing this season??he's traveling with them as well
Why the fuck are the Grizzlies playing their g-league team? It's pre-season.
>>151263119>it's time to admit the bulls FO did something goodIt's 1000% isn't you weird retard. Garpax has more to show for their tenure than ACK-ME
>>151263376i cant tell if youre trolling or have autism
Wembust does not impress me. He looks like a lesser Chet, only with a green light.
>>151263537I'm just observant and know a thing or two about genetics and biology.
Wemby has such an unaesthetic game. Just looks so awkward and gangly, like a baby deer.
I can't believe that Celtics got the best Luka
>>151263204They had the same record as dallas
Will once in a generation talent Wemby lead his team outside of a lottery pick this year?
>>151263516AKME did a good job on drafting other than 2020. Everything else, *spits*
>>151263182BWAHAHAHAHAA
These young celtics kids are fun to watch
>>151262628pretty much>2019: nursegone>2020: vogelgone>2021: budgone2023: malonegoneonly exception is kerr but that's because he's the mike tomlin of the nba, gsw will never fire him
>>151263693It's gonna take at least 2 more failed seasons for the cope to stop and we're allowed to talk about him being underwhelming sorry
>>151263693No, but Dylan Harper will
>Boston up by 20 and still challenges it>First challenge of the pre season/season as a whole lmaoGotta love Mazzula
AVRA
rockets are frauds
>>151264020Coop already balding at 18 is a good omen. Greatness is in his future.
>>151263883>mike tomlin of the nba, gsw will never fire himIsn't that Spoelstra??or is it, Tomlin crawled so Spoelstra could walk and Kerr could run, cause Spoelstra won a ring before Kerr did with GSW,I've never heard of Tomlin so
Are all the personality schizos back yet?
Umm...Celtics bros, this can still be a fun season
>>151264065Will he accept it and shave it like MJ or cope with hair transplants like LeDiddy
>>151264123why was that bawb BJ hall acting up
Who’s gonna win the Gianpiss sweepstakes ???
>>151264164Gianmickey will take his talents to Orlando
Nearly a fight on the court in pre season,fucking kek,
>>151264164He wants to go the Knicks but I don't think they have any assets that the Bucks would find acceptable for a trade
>>151264164WEGONGIT
Im surprised that wasn't a flagarant, thats the first time I've seen Brown actually get in a fight,
Amen 12/6/2 in 15 minutessengun 11/8/4 in 19 minutesi used to pray for shit like this, 2021-2024 was a bad time to be a rocketsCHAD
>>151264151Tatum would never have that much intensity
It's not the same without Gaytum...
Wembitch already hurt KWAB
>>151264223memphis got unlimited thugs man
>>151264193Knicks also have a good thing going. Jannis requires some real team building to make the most of so they'd be throwing away their best chance at winning a ring this season for something that probably won't actually make them better.
KD looks washed. sad to see....
Adam Flagler is the Cooper at home
Why does Leafjeet hate Wemby?
>>151264343I'm tired of the glazing. Chetty owns this kid.
>>151264307Can we not obbess over trade concepts... people are just being annoying fags Giannis's value isn't skyhigh, he controls the offense so obviously he's avging 30pt per game and he nearly caved in his knee a few years backGiannis trade is really just Towns/OG and picls or OG,McBride,Robinson, and picksLuka got traded for a bag of chips I think it'll be the same for Giannis, picks will have higher value as teams try to blow up and rebuild,
rockets are fun to watch ngl
ESPN has the Warriors as 2nd best team in the league.
Durant looks like shit on the floor, literally just standing around, no way he's on the rockets next season lmao, he's gonna end his career where his career started
Durant literally turns over the ball,Yea the rockets are gonna want Jalen Green back,Durant literally demands the ball wayy too much, like hands up and everything,
Boston missing many main starters and still dominating
>>151264849>Ja already injuredIts over for the grizzlies
its his first game on a new system stop hating...
Ok so ace bailey is him
>>151264883frfr BABBs got a new demon
>>151264883ROTY over Flagg puts your bets in now I warned you
>>151264883Utah needed an athletic wing.Imagine Lauri playing him.Utah might actually be competitive.
4 GMs gonna regret passing on Ace. It's so obvious this dude is going to be a superstar.
KD keeps turning the ball over...zzzI guess that's how it is when you don't have a PG
>>151265000He tried tanking his draft stock so he could go to the wizards
Hot take Cooper Flagg won't be a top-5 player from this draft.
>>151265058This has always been KDs major weakness. Just watch 2016, 2022. Nigga priveleged off of curry so hard its crazy. KD simply tries to do too much (in terms of handles and movement) which is a big problem when he can no longer get to the paint easily (again look at 2016).Niggas hold onto his GSW years and that 1 Brooklyn Run against the Bucks so fucking hard when no shit hes going to score 50 points being the only fucking scoring option.What I dont understand is how Boston could pressure the ball out of KDs hands, but that stacked Bucks defense couldnt??? the fuck?
>>151265148He won't be the number one option since he is on a contender. Guys on the tanking teams can take as many shots as they want.
>>151264883>>151264933>>151264960>>151265000Should I be keeping an eye on this Ace Bailey guy? Where can I see some highlights, cuz I cant watch the game right now
Every player should be a free agent every year. 1 year contracts only. And no salary cap. No trades.
>13 assistsSengun taking his next leap I see
Where is he?
>>151265354Practicing his threes
>>151265150His handles are kinda overrated. I feel like Giannis is better for someone with similar heights
I just realise Jeff and KD finally reunite in Houston after their Sonics days
im disappointed kelena azuibuike doesn't speak with a comically thick ugandan accent
>>151264027certainly are>>151264194nevar forget lol for Hero and a 2nd round draft pick too or some bullshit like always
Why no one told me that Temu Wemby was actually better than Wembust?
Man how will KD work on this high strung rockets team
>>151266198He will ruin the locker room and get the coach fired
>>151266223Sadly, this might be true even though i'm a KD fan. He's the kind of person that thinks it's everyone else's fault and never his
>>151265354He just needs more time
He looks better than Flagg ngl.
>>151266294>the october obliterater
>>151266322He outplayed Kevin Durant.
Am I gunna have to become a Utah Fan? NBA release the fuarking ACE highlights already so I can see if he actually ballen or just getting free looks
>tfw could've got a firstBRUTAL
>>151266488They are on reddit nba
>>151266294They just need to offload or wrangle another one of those shot chucking guards that they have so he can thrive
>>151266716What happened to this guy
>>151266294Nice jersey
>>151263883Doc Rivers is the Mike Tomblin of the NBA
first game only but kd was ASS
>>151266294ace bailey has everything he needs to be a superstar plus the unique name
>>151266760How was Reed
>>151266847mah boi was nice
>>151266871He's got potential, would be dumb to include him in a trade for a guard this season
>>151264826Durant is a traffic cone offball.
>>151265354I'm gunna need another tik tok of this guy fucking balling out at an empty shootaround to be convinced the cycle has been reset.
LeMickey needs another lockdown to win a chip
>>151267128old ass lemickey would need the black death as washed as he is
>>151266744he peaked 1 game and fell off hard
If the nuggets win a ring this year westbrook might actually kill himself
>>151267403I am blaming Lebron
>>151263034I think it’s more likely his dad got cucked, but your theory is also funny so I’m torn>>151263157Damn so Nigeria is land of mutts? Lol
>>151265122Apparently he wanted to go to Brooklyn, Knicks or Pelicans to play with Zion, Wizards are shittier, it makes sense he doesn't want to go to Utah, just bland and generic nothing there and was the worst seed team ever, not racism to white mormons or anything, just not where the kid is from or vibes with
>>151267536>Damn so Nigeria is land of mutts?idk, you tell me white boy, didnt you guys colonize Nigeria and all of africa one time
>>151266294>>151265196>>151264883>>151265000Bailey scoring more than Flagg in his first NBA game?????mann... not saying Flagg is a bust but he's showing some bustiness,Bailey didnt even want to fucking play in Utah, and dropped nearly 30, whats stopping Flagg???
>>151267648Flagg got drafted to a team that is trying to contend for the title so he won't be given the green light to fuck around like Bailey will be on a team with zero expectations
>Mfw i start to realise it's an /nba/ culture to hate on the 1st overall pick for no reason at all
>>151267648Flagg played 14 minutes while Bailey played 31.
>>151267765its just the sites contrarianism
>>151267632Sounds like your ancestors got bleached, why would I care about that. Seems like your business. I know my family history, why don’t you know yours.
Would you pick a Fagg or an Ace for your team? The answer is obvious
>>151267835I feel like Flagg's ceiling is a high level role player. Bailey has superstar potential.
>>151267835>>151267872You guys are literally retarded
>>151267786damn...no...not da facts (to be fair after his g league performances, its not too much of a stretch to suggest theyre hiding flagg lmao, nigga is a rookie on a contending team and look how many minutes theyre giving him, and how quickly they pulled him off the g league shit (or whatever it was))
>>151267884I quite literally have a genius level IQ.
>>151267884kek, retard, how much you want to bet, retards like you were calling curry believers retarded for suggesting that Curry could be an actual superstar while blake griffin would be a washed shallow overhyped player.some people saw the vision, then there were retards like you, thinking "6th overall pick and tiny guard will never be better than the blake god Griffin"
Flagg's ceiling is a modern Scottie PippenBailey's is Carmelo Anthony
>>151267765It's clearly compounded by him being white and /nba/ being racist, too.
Y'all really doing tricks on ace for scoring on a perma tanking utah hell nah
>>151267992and flag will get traded after dallas implodes
>>151267821Yeah, pretty retarded desu. Hating just for the sake of hating.
>Mavshits lost the trade
>>151267835ace no question
https://youtu.be/9HN4FAy2eJY?t=5m4scall me in 3 years, imma be a utah fan
>>151267835Even though he's retarded, easily Ace. Pooper Fagg is going to be a high tier role-player at best
Calling it now, yang is gonna be the mvp. Screen cap this
>>151268178who?
my craptors finna look betta now that we got someone who can shoot
>promised myself at the start of the year i would have a gf to watch the new chainsaw man movie with >it's out in below 2 weeks and I don't got a bitch
>>151261953what's luka's record vs SGA since he eliminated them to go to the finals
>>151268383Unless you can pull a baddie it’s not even worth it. I can’t even be bothered anymore since I drank myself into looking kinda shitty. A 5/10 gf literally isn’t worth all the hassle.
>>151268463Who cares, sga isn’t even a player he’s just an extension of the refs. You could grab some homeless guy off the street and he’d prolly get 10 points with that dudes whistle.
>>151267786flagg playing only 14 minutes in a preseason game is not a good thing
another season of this shit
>>151268472Uncs didnt know how good they had it.
Ace Bailey shot 70% against Kevin Durant and allstar Sengun in his first NBA game
>>151268502All of the starters only played in the first half. AD, PJ, Klay, DLo, Flagg...
>>151268724so? it's the fucking preseason. it's where you put the rookies out there to give them experience. theyre hiding flagg cause he's 100% a system babby.
>>151268746>it's the fucking preseasonPeople are dropping like flies to injuries lately. Why risk putting flagg in when you're crushing okc already?
>>151268759if playing someone one game is a risk maybe you shouldnt have drafted him
>>151268746>theyre hiding flagg cause he's 100% a system babbyAnd Curry isn't?
One of the guys playing for Portland is the blackest dude on earth I think
>>151268777>best 3pt shooter ever is a system babbyhere's your (YOU)
>>151268792He would be a bench warmer in the 90s, so he's like the ultimate system baby
>>151268746Nice troll attempt, but I'm not falling for it.
>>151268809>best 3pt shooter ever vs players than can't shoot 3s at allhe would win 10 championships in a row fuck outta here
>>151268540crikeynice hips
>>151268809ok so now you are pretending to be retarded.

>>151269028lanky retard
Why is no one talking about the warriors insane comeback? Literally game of the year stuff. 50 points in the 4th quarter
>Yang Hansen>21 minutes>4 pointsThe chinaman meme is over
>>151269028This is why we make fun of the first pick. The last years of first picks have been nothing but disappointment. Where are the Duncans, Lebrons and Roses? Why arent they dominating the league?
>kumingtard>18 minutes>1/5 from field>1/4 from 3???????????>4 turnovers>3 pointsoh my goddd nigga wtf is wrong with this nigga? seriously wtf is going on? this dude sucks so bad I almost feel bad for him. nigga got outdone ny quinten post and fucking LJ Cryer, I didnt even know who that was until fucking just now. And you cant even use the "QP played 6 more minutes than Kumingtard" becayse LJ Cryer played 12 FUCKING MINUTES and somehow scored 14 points. Theres no way youre telling me, LJ Cryer has more usage than Kumingtard
>>151269259>Where are the Duncans, Lebrons and Roses?
>>151269259hes not dominating because hes a sex addict or something and keeps getting aids
>>151269259ANT and Cade will pick up the slack
>>151269213It's preseason.
>they were gassing up Wembust because he looked good against a literal chinksquadKWABABB
>>151269294Blame the retarded Warriors FO for stubbornly refusing to let him fucking leave when he doesn't want to play for their fucking stupid ass team, thats a shell of itself anywayssuns and kings offered them a good deal and turned it down like a dumbass entitled child
>>151269028lmfao
>>151269259Cade is next up>>151269360>Can'tKek
>>151269412>when he doesn't want to play for their fucking stupid ass teamlol, thats not his problem on the court, kumingtard defender and nobody wants kuminga gotten rid of more than us smart warriors fans. my theory is that kuminga actually likes the bay and cali but maybe doesn't feel appreciated by the warriors, but would stay if he could
Kuminga's genetic hand-eye coordination ceiling is abysmally low and it severely limits his potential.Yeah, he's athletically gifted, but he's just clumsy as fucking shit.If he was a pitcher, he'd be wild.If he was a quarterback, he'd have a low completion percentage and throw a lot of picks, even when his decision making was good.He's probably terrible at darts and bowling.
>>151269526Every african player is like that at first.
all you niggas better watch out this season
>>151269558>at firstI don't think you know what "ceiling" means.He is what he is: a 6'7" sub-70% FT shooter.He will never be offensively elite.

What team does he support
Michael Porter Jr and Ace Bailey will run this league like LeBron snd Kobe
We dont need 2 weeks of preseason
>>151264065Literally has 0 signs of balding
>>151269939Pelicans
>>151270075No trust me, he's hiding something with that fringe. Real niggas know. Here's his twin brother btw.
>>151271243True I did notice that his brother was already Norwood 2. You raise a good point. Although they aren’t identical so we shouldn’t assume they’re the same, also their dad hasn’t receded yet iirc
>>151271310True. Their dad still has a perfect hairline somehow, but it could be a transplant or toupee. I really feel for Cooper's twin brother Ace. Guy got the short end of the stick in every way possible, but he seems well adjusted and supportive.
Have a feeling Grayson Allen will have a monster season
>Dalton Knecht is now viewed as a negative asset around the league, and the Lakers would most likely need to attach another asset to move him, per @DanWoikeSports >“The Lakers didn’t move Knecht this summer, with anything the team possibly able to get for Knecht not worth giving up on the potential that’s still there. But after a rough preseason debut where he shot 1 of 12, scouts left Palm Desert as pessimistic as ever, one even calling Knecht a ‘negative asset,’ meaning the Lakers would need to attach pieces to incentivize a team in a trade.”>(Via nytimes.com/athletic/66975… )
The most disrespected player in the league.
The man behind me on my flight just got out of prison, an 11 year sentence. He used my phone to call someone.
>>151271896I would unironically cry if i read this about me. How humiliating. I still think knecht has a spot on the lakers as a bench 3pt specialist
>>151271896Ain’t this nigga still on his rookie contract? Is he really that bad?
>>151271899he diddled that poor girl
I aint see Caitlin be no Victoria's Secret Angel
>>151271896He's earning $4 million. Obviously not a negative asset. If that were true he'd have been traded by now in exchange for a minimum DNP guy
>>1512690284 rebs when you are over 7 feet tall is criminal
>>151271913His only skill is shooting he has lost his shot
>>151272339Not just 7ft, that’s really underselling it. He’s several inches taller than the next tallest person on the floor. And he has insanely long alien arms. I’m only slightly tall so this has only happened a couple times but when I’ve been the tallest guy on the court I got every damn rebound that came remotely near me. Imagine being a literal foot taller than Charles Barkley and he’s still better at rebounding. Bust! Loser!
Never forget when 7'2 lottery pick Khaman Maluach got 0 rebounds in the most important game of his life
>>151272498Worthless black african prevented my goat from winning a college title, along with tyrese shitor and shiton james.

>>151273334Goon is my guy but the chances of him reaching joker level are 5% at best
>>151273309Might be worth including the huge gap in efficiency
>>151273408Nah

>>151273497where is josh giddey?
>>151273497mvp season loading
mamba mentality
>>151273497PG: CurrySG: ShaiSF: LukaPF: Giannis C: jokic
>>151273497Sga isn’t better than anyone. Literally any guard in the league with his whistle would do as good or better. I think he’s literally using those dsls he has to suck off the refs and swallow their cummies before the game.
Zesty ahh niccas itt
>>151273873Hes a ref merchant but hes also a legit top 10 player. Hes very good on defense and consistenly scores on good efficiency. Consistent being an understatement. He doesnt usually exploed for many points or shits the bed. Youre getting a scorer whos rarely injured gets you 25-35 pts on good efficiency and is a plus defender. He doesnt have any weakness to his game
Luka>Shai tho. I also think giannis isnt top 5. Havent seen this guy do anything in the last 4 playoffs. Covid fraud for now1 jokic2 healthy embiid3 luka4 shai5 curry
PARTIZANO EOEE
>>151274026>Havent seen this guy do anything in the last 4 playoffsHe's had horrid teammates.
>>151267475He has no one to blame but himself. The Nuggets were probably going to fail anyway because of Michael Pussy Jr falling apart again and Gordon eventually getting hurt, too. But if Westbrook could have contributed *anything* and been even a C-minus player they probably bring him back on a one year minimum just for the depth. But he was a fucking liability. Not only did he not contribute anything positively, he was a liability most of the time who just did stupid and inexplicable shit twice per quarter. He's literally unplayable. He's unironically Ben Simmons tier now, hence absolutely no one even offering him a minimum deal.
>>15127418110/23 fta in an elimination game.Giannis is the only player i know where people keep making excuses for his shortcomings. I do not understand why. The guy just isnt as good as people pretend. Somehow youre not allowed to criticize him and only him.
>>151261635Bucks, Knicks you get one (1) year of relief from Halidemon. Use it wisely.
>>151274238He's not a good free throw shooter yeah, no one would argue that he is>only player who people make excuses forThat's every superstar. My guess is that people just care less about Giannis now because he isn't a threat to their favourite player/team
>>151274238Give Giannis a break. He's been up against black magic for the last two years. He never stood a chance.
>>151274238because he's not the reason why they lose but he is the reason why they win. People need to stop pretending that basketball isn't a 5v5 game

Okc went 68-14 last season with a lot of key players missing games due to injury. If they stay healthy and want it i can see them winning 74 or even more
>>151273408kek
>>151275276retard.
>>151275320He’s not wrong. Chet missed like over half the season.
>>151275351Its the currysexual dont bother
Id say the 5 front runners for mvp are shai jokic luka wemby and durant, in that order. Giannis and ant also have decent odds but their teams dont have depth and their record will probably be too bad. If spurs get 50 wins wemby might get it
Wembust ain't winning no damn MVP. Not ever. No ring either. I'd bet my life on it.
>>151275470brunson has a better chance of getting mvp than half those guys
Josh Giddey has a better chance of winning MVP than wembust. 100%
Shai probably wont get it if he wins less than 68 and thats a high bar.Ant isnt good enough individually.Neither is Mitchell.Neither is Brunson.Giannis record will be too bad.Spurs wont have too good of a record and wemby might not make 65 gamesI dont have high hopes for this bum ass Lakers team.My take is mvp will be jokic or durant with jokic as favourite.
>>151275581Shai with 65 wins obviously would win MVP over KD with 55-60
>>151275647Jokic can finish with 50 wins and his fans will move the goalposts to put him in contention for MVP
>>151275819KD isn't as good or as popular as Jokic. Statistically KD basically does what Shai does but slightly worse and on a worse team. I think Shai will obviously have the best case to win again, but nobody finds him interesting to people might revert to Jokic, who will probably have the better individual season again
>adam silver seeing the la teams, curry, kd, wemby, flagg, shai and jokic make the playoffs while all the small market bum teams stay home
>>151276042Forgot
I do feel bad for the grizzlies though i dont think that team is making the 'offs

the warriors will completely fall apart this season
punish the clippers
>>151276092By end of regular season steph will be 38, butler 36, horford 39, draymond 36. I dont see how this team wont collapse by all star weekend. The unction has great depth. Kuminga and Podziemski are hot garbage
>LeBron out 3-4 weeks
Giannis will be traded before february
>>151273873Keep crying BAWB. Outplayed both Luka and Chokic h2h, even with the later averaging more FTAs
>>151276311Good

>>151276335Which team has the assets
LeSTINK being out for 3 weeks means the lakeshits might be a great team during those 3 weeks with Luka running it by himself....
>>151276335Giannis is unnecessarily vague about trades. Its obvious he wants out but doesnt want to let people know hes the ones asking for a trade. Hes trying to win the PR game. If he didnt want out he would just say "i want to stay here no matter what". Giannis to the Knicks for OG, Mitchell Robinson and Miles McBride and picks

>>151276563I just hope he goes somewhere good that will appreciate him.
>>151276454Realistically the Knicks don’t have the assets to get Giannis. The only way to get him out is with good young players and a lot of picks

So why exactly do the mavs shit on okc so consistently even without luka?
Out of the 4 conference finals team the thunder were the only ones i didnt really like...
Shes moving to Paris bros...i'll never see her again
>>151277220It was only because of Luka. OKC played absolute nobodies in their game
>>151276563The NBA has the dumbest owners in all of American sorts. They dole out guaranteed money like candy, fall for contract runs on an annual basis and generally fuck themsevles up the ass routinely. And even so no one is taking Embiid's contract. He's like a time bomb with the timer at 0:01 seconds. He is completely, utterly done and only refuses to retire because if he shows up and goes through the motions they have to pay him another $200 mil. And he has a player option, lol. The Sixers are DOA until 2030 and they have only themselves to blame
>>151277220Strong interior defense. 3 of their games last year against each other were without Chet and a third was without SGA so we dont really have an accurate measure for how the teams really match up
>LeHennesy but what do /we/ drink?

>>151277844>>151277873In one of the pods with Nash he mentioned the wine he was drinking and it was like a $250 1995. Not bad but for a billionaire not much
>>151277876don't fall for the roid meme anon
>>151277944Pretty sure its just bad genes. Me and my twin brother both have pretty weathered looking skin for our age even with skincare and sunscreen. At least I'm not norwooding....
>>151277930he opened a '95 Lynch-Bages after '12 Rousseau Mazy Chambertain, that's good drinking.
>>151278008Why do wine heads like red wine so much when it all tastes the same? It's not like white wine at all

>>151278278I went wine tasting and wasn't impressed by the red wine is all im gonna say
>>151278054>>151278525good red wine doesn't taste the same, but yeah most cheap stuff kinda blends togethernothing wrong with the stuff though, especially if you just want anything
>>151278564Cheap wine gives awful hangovers/headaches because of the sulphites. Better to drink spirits unless ur rich imo
>>151278519is it worth a watch? still haven't seen it
>>151278655No, it's trash
>>151274783Sometimes I wonder why doesn't he just play for Serbia. His father is a serbian descent, he swears in serbian, listen to serbian music, his favorite club is a serbian club.
>>151278054>>151278625Most people have to build up their palate to appreciate certain types of wine, especially if you didn't grow up tasting those wine. LeBron opening a '12 Mazy-Chambertain before a '95 Lynch-Bages is a nice way of easing a newbie into wine; start with a soft elegant Burgundy that's big and powerful enough to prepare you for an even bigger, more powerful Bordeaux that is starting to show some delicate qualities too.

Sheesh,Hornets really are 15th seed team lol
>>151278922As a winefag, Melo is the one NBA player I'd want to drink with, he only drinks +95/100 cult wines, he drinks like a somm. CJ McCollum actually makes good affordable wines, I've tried his before. Tobias Harris moves a lot of Napa at auction but his Prisoner label is fucking gross imho. LeBron actually has palate which is respectable, could care less about his liquor endorsements. Wade is a poser. Butler might be the biggest poser of them all, someone else clearly built his wine cellar for him, he should stick to specialty coffee.
KAT is like 7ft 240 pounds and gets bullied constantly
ayy, I didn't know Shai was actually playing today. My GOAT back in action.
The Dallas Mavericks are going to win the 2026 NBA Finals.Cooper Flagg is going to win Finals MVP as a 19-year-old rookie.

PG: DloSG: Kyrie, Klay, Christie, Exum, CalebSF: Flagg, PJ, NajiPF: AD C: Gafford, LivelyThey have so many players that can be trusted with playoff minutes. And AD when hes locked in is MVP level.
Shit im gonna say it its more likely the mavs come out on top of the luka trade. Draft was rigged but whos gonna do something about that? They got prime AD and Flagg.
Lebron is not the goat lmao he's killed his legacy. curgoat is better

>>151277970it's literally just photo-agingI'm from the bahamas. you know how many people there wear sunscreen? fucking nobody. someone like ayton who was outdoors a lot growing up will look old as shit from sun exposure. meanwhile 30% of the population is indoors all the time and has smooth as fuck skin. the day black people learn that they need to use sunscreen too is the day we stop getting constantly hit with age frauding allegations. not happening any time soon though
>>151281748I also purchase obscure jerseys for future profits. I have a LeBron early 2000s Cleveland jersey.
why is lemickey so afraid of currgoat
>>151282355true, but also why? what did he do recently that suggested fear?
>>151282141I've heard black people are more likely to actually die when they contract skin cancer because a lot of people unironically believe darker skin tones can't get it. Lightskins gonna be dropping like flies in the future

>Phillies eliminated>Sheagles suck again>PonydelphiaIt’s so over filthybros
>>151284837Yeah I'm not going to make any claims at all as to the vax's effectiveness or safety, but there was absolutely an overreaction to the virus's very, very low death rate - even the virus's OFFICIAL death rate, which is greatly inflated by things like literally counting people who died from gunshot wounds while having COVID as dying from COVID, was way, way too low to justify the absurd overreaction. It was definitely a very surreal moment to live through.Fuck Chris Paul.
https://youtu.be/D7Ak_l5SzKc?t=1m59sdude wtf...is shai actually good? i swear all the clips ive seen of his game, i hated it, because i also dislike kobes game despite liking MJs. But he actually looks clean here.If he has a 2016 curry tier season post first championship, this year where hes 50/40/90. Then ill finally respect him as more than just a foul baiter carried by priveleged team
>>151284837yea that shit was bad
>>151285041he will bless us with a gold medal
>>151277659
>>151285223Imagine thibs becoming sixers coach and he does the thibs thing and just forces embiid 40 minutes/82 games. Embiid will either be wheelchair bound forever or evolve into EmHybriid
>>151285041Shai being a good player is what makes his antics that much more frustrating. without shooting FTs he's still very very good.

>>151286970You could say the same thing about KD too. When he was in nets, he wanted Steve Nash, they brought him in. And then when it didn't worked out, he was also the one who blamed Nash and got him fired.When he's in suns, he wanted Bradley Beal. They threw away their future to bring him in. And then when it didn't work out, he blamed Beal too.Superstars have too much power in the nba
My goodness bros I almost bought NBA 2k26 just so I could fuck around in offline modes. Dodged that bullet.>>151286292That's not even an insult. It's more of what everybody thinks but doesn't say. I'm curious what the context of this is, because while Bird is a notorious shit talker, I don't think he'd just come out and say this. The man usually has tact.
>>151287051Love KD but getting Jarrett Allen traded so his washed homeboy DAJ could get his minutes was horrible.Honestly he and kyrie treated the nets franchise like shit. Which is based because joe tsai is a cunt but also cringe because they botched one of the most talented teams ever even if covid was unlucky. I can see why harden was sick of them after barely a bit over a year
>>151287235Yeah, i was saying all that as a KD fan as well. I like him as a player, but would never look up to him as a role model
>>151287279kd and lebum are the same type of personality, one just larps and the other doesn't

>>151286343I don’t think Russ is good enough anymore, but I’m also not high on Brown or Pickett as rotational players in a championship team in current year. Murray is still going to have to play exceptionally well for them to win anything. Simple as.
