But OKC's 68 wins mean nothing, absolutely NOTHING, when they struggled against a play in team,

Struggled against a weaker Nuggets squad that just went 7 games prior with a tough clippers squad with healthy Kawhi and stormin Norman and a rare offball Harden that cared about defense but mentally broke in game 7

Fraudulent win against the wolves cause of the whistle and Randle gassing like a pig after playing good in the first quarter and retiring to the bench in game 1 and 2, and also Gobert and Conley's age showing

and went 7 games with the "Pacers" that had 30 losses and looked like shit in the reg season,

and now Presti being a dumb faggot he wants to run it back with the SAME exact guys, no upgrades no nothing,

And notice how OKC struggled against teams with legitmate high iq scoring heavy PFs, and they have PFs so that was pretty retarded to not draft Trey Murphy

Like Gordon before he got hurt, and Siakam and Toppin, they went 7 games with teams like those

unlike McDaniels and Reid thats are PFs archetypes that still need time in the oven and don't play the position

>but still hit 3s in clutch
You stupid? What kind of league do you think were playing in where "Hit 3s in clutch" is creating any spacing? Ja fucking Morant hit 3s in clutch in the 2021 playin against the warriors, who the fuck cares retard? The NBA arent 1 game series, or 5 minute series. Nigga Jordan sucks at the 3 ball and the only reason he was ever close to "decent" was because they shortened the line because bums like him couldnt shoot.

>and Duncan is known for his middy 2 pointer

Uh. No hes not? Hes known to he capable of shooting it, he wasnt actually very good at doing so, jusf average, we can go check his stats retard, tim was average to below average in all mid ranges (picrel). Besides, shooting the middy efficiently isnt enough spacing, or else Kevin Durant wouldnt have cried about not having enough spacing in OKC when he lost to GSW, because hed be creating the space himself.

The only reason SGA gets away with no spacing is because of how many fouls he baits, and how godly his teams defense is in creating second chances.

Shaq is probably the only player on that list that would translate no matter the era, and maybe Lebron (We also forget how much MJ benefited from an era where Zone defense was illegal defense, if he had to play against Zone defense hed be good but his efficiency would have to go down).

I'd honestly be really curious how Shaq would do in the modern NBA. I mean he played both during illegal defense and zone defense, and he ironically struggled more in the former (but also had to go up against guys like Hakeem, David Robinson, and Patrick Ewing, Godlike rim protectors. Timmy was a good rim protector, but if I had to guess his spurs teams lost enough to the lakers because there wasnt enough offense to counteract Kobes value.)

Nobody disagrees the OKC 68 wins were fraudulent, I literally said that at the end of my post. That's likely due to shallow offensive versatility from their star who cant shoot 3s, and cant even score efficiently, even ignoring the 3, if hes not getting foul calls. Also a below average playmaker for playoff standards.

But even all that considered, this stupid ass team still wont with a 56 percentile offense according to some white nerds I watched on youtube. The team is still retardedly solid, and I hope they lose and get exposed for their fraudulence this year, but the ONLY reason the warriors are good is because Curry is a genuine generational talent that bends defenses. OKC only loses because their stars play subpar. Curry can lose even if hes playing great simply because defenders are holding onto his arm like children holding onto their parents at a theme park, and his team still cant score with all the open looks theyre getting, unless theyre Buddy Hield in one Game 7.

His PPG dropped when he got fat and lazy and lost his quickness and agility. He fell for the

Youre retarded.

Luckily, you lucked into being "right" anyway because intelligence isnt a prerequisite of correctness.

The more I think about it, if Clippers stay healthy they can actually win a ring,

They have too many full on vets and leadership and just smart legit guys, CP3 and Lopez elevate the floor, Collins was such a steal, he's a legit 2 way player, and Beal if motivated is decent as well, I like how they looked against Sacramento, only Pre-Season and can get better from there

My only question is, are there any actual Clippers fans in LA specifically?? it'd just look weird in the parade cause its like "hey LA won but not the LA you think of"

i should be using ingenuous analysis like taking a player's fg% after four preseason games and holding it to an arbitrary number 1% above his current one instead
anyway if you want more recent comparisons then theres edwards, cunningham, and banchero who all shot similar ts% in their rookie season compared to flaggs preaseason ts%
>>
>>151421394
Banchero isn’t really known for his efficiency at this point. Holding a player to a standard of 40% FG is a lot better than holding a 2003-04 player to modern efficiency standards

It might surprise you Kobe had the 2nd highest TS% in LeBron’s rookie season, but I guess he was “inefficient” relative to modern players as well according to certain analysts
>>
>>151421429
well lebron still shot 2.8% lower than league average so he wasnt exactly an efficient rookie either, which is a gap not far away from rookie and second year banchero, a guy who you are dismissing as inefficient
lebron also had a 1.7 assist to turnover ratio
he must have been a bust with no offense
probably would have been cooked by bronny and gabe vincent right

As a Kentucky fan I was praying my team the Pistons would get Reed. However I ended up really liking Ron Holland, plus Reed is on the team the other Thompson twin is on. So I guess it worked out.

I shouldnt even respond to this retard human post because it doesnt matter of you think youre right or not, you dont actually have an argument because you dont understand basketball and/or the fact that assists are the hardest value to capture in statistics unless youre a stat nerd and get into specifics of offensive load.

Is John Stockton or Isaiah Thomas a better passer than Magic Thompson. Both have averaged more assists at a point than Magic Johnson. Neither have averaged as many turnovers.

Thought illegal defense was already reverted by the time of Lakers 3 peat. I remember an interview with Kobe talking about how comparing eras is hard because they dont account for stuff like the fact that MJ never had to play against zone defense whereas he did.

Almost every defensive scheme and player post the 90s is a better defense and defensive player than 90% of the overrated defenders in the 90s save for maybe Scottie. And of course were ignoring rim protectors because If you watched that 90s highlights i sent of the 1995 rockets vs magic, youll know how legit stupid the defense and spacing was there.

Besides Duncan is probably better than most of the 90s rim protectors anyway. But I seriously have no idea wtf happened to the center competition in the 2000s, howd they just let Shaq fraud like that, while he was getting clapped up by Hakeem and simple double teams in the 90s (really makes Kobe seem more essential to the Lakers 3 peat than often characterized, but that depends on how much shaq was even doubled or needed to be. People tend to overblow shit like this.

Fraud game that leaves out Draymond being out. Leaves out blatant stat padding with rebounds, he never had that many rebounds ever again, not even in 2018, when he had nobody to share rebounds with, he had 4 offense rebounds and 12 defensive rebounds, his real rebound amount is 12 because lebum sucks at offensive rebounds which just comes from the fact that Andre Bogut played 7 FUCKING MINUTES BECAUSE HE GOT INJURED THAT GAME. Which is also why its stupid to compare his amount of blocks to Bogut as if "woah he was le doing it all, so insane that Lebum just barely matched a dude who played the game for 7 minutes".

The 2016 finals might unironically be the worst thing to ever happen to NBA basketball in history. The most shittily narrativized NBA finals ever, too many retarded conveniences had to go the Cavs way for that stupid fucking finals to go down that way. And fuck off I dont want to hear anything about "Le draymond played in le game 6 doe". Fuck off retard, Harrisok barnes went 0-8, dont even get me started on Curry needing to carry while injured because Klays bum ass points arent high value as a one dimensional catch and shooter

If you can’t get your hands on Jokic, Wemby or Giannis there are plenty of good options. Mobley & Chet are fantasy monsters that go as low as 50 in certain drafts. They rack up blocks, steals, and they are gonna hit some 3’s. Sengun and Sabonis also arent bad choices, but the defense will be lacking. The best value for a “high ceiling” pick is Alex Sarr. He’s going around pick #90 in leagues right now, and he’s bound to break out more. Clingan is another very late player who might be worth looking at, however in some drafts he isn’t getting drafted. But I expect him to get a lot more minutes in the absence of Ayton. Zubac is another guy you can get in the 5/6 round range, and he was a fantasy monster last year with Harden spoon feeding him.

>Fantasy Sleepers (Guards)

Derrick White would be great if he wasn’t going so high. I think there’s value in taking one of the Boston guards (Pritchard, White, Simons) if they fall to you at the right spot. From what I’ve seen, you can slot most of these guards at PG, or SG which is hugely beneficial. Bostons system encourages a lot of 3-point chucking, so it’ll reflect good in that department. Plus obviously Tatums out, so these guys are gonna have an impact. Also, the most underrated guy on all of boards right now is Brandon Miller. In some leagues, he’s going rounds 7-9, and you can usually slide him at either SG or SF. Just if you need a pure bucket getter later in the draft.
>assists (late rounds)
If you feel like you still need more assists, I really like Andrew Nembhard from the Pacers (taking the place of Haliburton), and D’Lo while he’s starting for KYRIE. Currently Nembhard & D’Lo are going rounds 10-12, or undrafted.

Dort is not a true shooters, why is SGA not taking more 3s....

This team is simply not repeating, cause once KD/Sengun/Reed smallball goes at their offense, they're gonna struggle and lose like the Cavs did against the Pacers..

Had the refs been calling Caruso's physical play against Joker he would've been fouled out and OKC would've lost that game 7,

This is simply not repeating they refused to add a movement shooter and a few more veteran playmakers..... Dinwiddie was right there, Presti is gonna get fired

>Fantasy (Wings)

Sadly, Giddey’s fantasy value surged through the roof. It wasn’t like that in recent years, and he was always a good sleeper. But now that he’s overrated (in fantasy), there’s a few nice options. Avdija is still undervalued, going somewhere in the 7-8 round range. If he continues to break out like he did last couple years, this could be a home run. Jalen Johnson from Atlanta is a monster and is also slept on. He will fetch you 21 / 5 /5 while stuffing the stat sheet with steals and blocks. Cant go wrong there in the 4/5 round range. Only issue with Jalen is can you trust he stays healthy. If not, Scottie Barnes is a solid pick in that range, as well. Last one, is for SG but only if you need to hack rebounds, and that’s obviously Josh Hart.

And Dort has taken 5 threes and missed all of them, stop being retarded,

As I said, ragebait or not, this team is not repeating, Presti is gonna lose his job and probably Daigneult too, you need someone like Mazzula to actually make everyone be more cerebral and playmake better, it shouldn't be SGA driving to the rim, they have so many wings but noone can shoot for shit when it matters and its because Daigneult is lazy as fuck in certain rotations, Joe is their movement shooter but got 10 mins in the entire pacers series,

Wiggins is good as well but got 10 mins as well, imagine if they could playmake like D-White

Um no, this has always been OKC issues, they need to move off Chet and maybe Dort,

Dort is ok at defending and that's what he looks like he's good for, but Chet Holmfag is still afraid of the post and is getting 50 million next season, meanwhile Wet-Bananas has been tearing up the post since his first rookie year,

This team NOT and I repeat is NOT repeating or winning a ring again because they refuse to learn from why they struggled last year and the year before, cause Presti fag is obbessed with "developing" every bench warming g league fag with "patience" because he sent them into the second apron, rather than making them do something like 25 to 35 million yearly so they can sign Joker or another all star in free agency by 2027

>race
Dude, if anything you’re overrated him because of race. Jokic is a defensive liability as he’s a terrible rim protector and prone to getting abused by guards in Pick n Roll. He’s also ball dominant, and you’ve got to play to HIS tempo. You can’t run an uptempo offense if he’s your center piece. Jokic is obviously one of the most gifted offensive players ever. Thats not the argument. The argument, is that he is overrated. Defense is half of the game. Not very hard to understand. That’s why Olajuwon & Timmy are just objectively greater players, and probably always will be. Hell, even prime KG was probably equal to prime Jokic

Throw Joker on a team with allstars and etc like Boston and we can see his true potential,

Even the champion nuggets never won 60 games, I think he has some setbacks as a player but give him serious help and we realize, despite being built like Majin Buu he's still a solid player, passing and rebounding... he doesn't look muscular but he's hard to guard

The dude went 26 / 6 / 5 for a whole title run, and Jokic fags wanna act like he has no help. Yeah, kind of bizarre cultism. LeBron fans are obviously like this, but worse

And.... he's hurt, Warriors season over before it started, 50 year old Horford isn't gonna get you to the second round

That take reads like someone who hasn’t watched a Nuggets game since the bubble. Jokić being a “defensive liability” is one of those lazy talking points people repeat because they don’t understand team defense. Denver’s defensive rating improves when he’s on the floor. Opponents shoot worse at the rim against him than most so-called elite rim protectors.

He’s not out there chasing blocks for highlights he’s cutting off passing lanes, calling out rotations, and anchoring schemes so guys like Murray and Porter don’t drown on defense.

And the “can’t run uptempo with him” line is just wrong. He creates fast breaks with outlet passes that hit shooters in stride. He dictates tempo better than any center in the modern era — that’s control, not slowness.

Comparing him to Hakeem, Timmy, or KG misses the point. They were all-time greats of their era. Jokić redefined the position. His offense bends defenses so hard it is a form of defense teams can’t afford to miss because he punishes every rebound with a dime.

Overrated? No. He’s the player everyone else wishes they could build around.

Numbers never lie, CB is one of the best fast break scorers in the NBA. They literally don't understand basketball above pretty chase down blocks. It's why they hate numbers so much.

Factually untrue. He was the second worst starting center at rim protection in the league, only behind Bam.

I think with the right coach its easy to play around OKC and beat them, I wouldn't call them a superteam, most of their players they drafted and built up, and IHart isn't a solid big cause he doesn't have a 3 point shot and Caruso as well, shaped like a shooter but not a shooter

Idky youre bringing facts, you should have read his post and realized from the get go that hes narrativizing and doing the equivalent of what he considers lazy criticism. Not a single reference to anything real, everything abstracted to unbelievably flawed and volatile stats like "team defensive rating when hes on". Hes never watched a basketball game in his life.

Why are you lying? His rim protection is still wet ass >>151430809. Jokic might be active in passing lanes, but Jesus Christ if that’s the extent of his defensive impact, it pales to what is usually asked of a modern NBA starting Center. Also, how can you not see that he does that lazy thing where he just gives up baskets at the rim to save his energy for running back in offense. Just lazy stuff at times I don’t like watching. Really lets your teammates down when your the last man of defense in any sport.

And you're missing some of the point in regards to pace & tempo. Jokic has a great K-Love outlet pass ability, but when you get caught in a fight with a team that is pushing pace, you’d like to adapt. It becomes a battle of tempo. Why do you think they brought in Westbrook? They needed a playmaker who can push tempo with the young guys because the front office knew it was an issue.
