Reminder that harden is raising another mans son and is proud of it
>>151412673I’m raising another man’s daughter and a son of my own. Her father is in prison. I treat her as my own.
>>151412324But 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 showingand 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 MurphyLike 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
>>151412315>but still hit 3s in clutchYou 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 pointerUh. 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.)

>>151412720>>151412725
>>151412720>>151412725Are we deadass with these essays?
>>151412725Shaq's ppg dropped from like 30 to 20 when illegal defense was scrapped.
>>151412668Nice!
>>151412747back to the all you can eat buffet
>>151412720Nobody 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.
>>151412836What do you mean? the early 2000s made illegal defense legal and he was still ballin?
>Not the Bus Driver The democrat party backed Steph media really tricked a lot of you
My GOAT got these schizos wilding
>>151413026All good anon glad we agreeMark my words, once they lose what im saying is what you'll hear from OKC fans, They're gonna demand a supertrade for Antman or Giannis and want Presti fired,
>>151413059He was a 20 ppg or sub-20 ppg for 90% of the 2000s.
>>151413090offball glazing while wardell scrambles out of his mind
>>151413090How many Finals MVPs has he won without Steph?
>>151412836His PPG dropped when he got fat and lazy and lost his quickness and agility. He fell for the >MUH SHAQ DADDY DIESEL meme and didn't think he ever needed to avoid help anymore because he could just back down his defender and plow through 3 defenders.That's what pissed Kobe off to begin with. He'd be getting shots up the second the season was over and Shaq would be in da club from June to October.
I'm a fraud. I cant believe someone signed me.
>>151413323He was still in his prime when the drop happened. The real reason was no illegal defense rule.
>>151413257How many Finals MVPs has Steph won?
>>1514134442 too retard, both without KD, if you say otherwise nigga I will figuratively shoot you.
>>151413369He was dealing with foot and ankle injuries every year after 2002
>>151413603One without KD. Not his fault Steph freezes up in the big moments (finals, crunch time)
>>151413611Man these injury excuses I see for every single player nowadays is so fucking cringe and tiring, im not even denying its true, its just tiring, because players get the best excuses when theyre supposed to he healthy and in their peak and still lose, but all the credit when they win and injuries suddenly disappear. Shaq doesnt deserve a 4th chip, nigga is one dimensional as fuck and sucks, fuck you
>>151413329u aint signed yet ben
>Trae Young UFA next yearI wonder which team he joins afterwards,
>>151413837He'll join the Kings to play with Russ.
Rockets winggs HawksDayum we won only dressing 8 players. Shoutout the 2nd & 3rd unit. 7 of the guys were in double figures whew
>Steph has 2 finals MVP>Shaq only has 3 ringsThe fuck is going on, y'all aren't even in preseason form
>>151413837Trae you are a... Rocket?
>>151413946retard.
>>151413849>Signs with soulless gay franchise like KingsMakes no sense lol, maybe Rockets if they don't have faith in Reed, I think they move on from FVV, dude is fat and a cap drain, insane to think he was getting 40 million prior, Sheppard has potential but he's growing too slow for his age and draft level>>151413975Welp, its his home state, so it makes sense
>>151413975unironically wouldn't be surprised
>>151413837He should go to the Wolves
>>151413837Mavs need a PG...
>>151414112Maybe... Conley's contract ends this season,
>>151414206Fuck off
Why the FUCK did they hide him away for so long?
>>151414508we play defense here
>>151414529Hope the recovery is going well Manleet!
>>151414508was this todays game? must have played against the G league bench fr kek!
>>151414654>Setting yourself up when you could've taken 2 sec to googleOh brother

>thread is blissfully unaware that Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis are going to go down as the greatest PG-PF pairing in NBA history as they repeat threepeat like the Jordan-era Bulls
>>151415715>it's a bullsfag pretends to have hope episode
>>151415715crazy they're only 2 years apartgiddey feels like he's been around forever
So the rockets are the villains of this season?
>>151415747>anon peanut butter and jealous that he can’t pull off wearing a sweater tied around his neck like our 6’8 Steve Nash, Josh Giddey, canGrim.
>>151415876Nah, they’re a likable team. The NBA needs a new villain. Hopefully Luka says that Dallas sucks and that he asked for a trade/orchestrated the whole thing to go on a villain arc.
>>151415876nah its still denver
Never lost faith in this lil nigga. He's special.
>>151413837Unironically Brooklyn, gonna team up with MPJ and feed him
>>151416600Trae Young got these G-leaguers looking like All-stars when he's guarding them kek
>Pat Riley reportedly cried during his meeting with Jimmy Butler in an attempt to get him to stay, but Butler reportedly viewed him as “unhinged” and became even more convinced to leave the HeatKek, poor guy
>>151416716Lmfao what a bitch, why would Pat literally do this
remember when Kyrie shitting the bed vs the celtics got memoryholed?
>>151416716lol
Ok real talk tho who's signing Ben Simmons?

>>151417628kek wtf no way...
>>151416713Trae didn’t guard him. Trae never guards point of attack
>>151412422more likeBob Carriedbybillsy
>>151418237Trae has never guarded, he's the poster child for the terrible zoomerball era - a soft flopping broccoli-headed chucking mutt with an ugly game who puts up meaningless stats on mediocre teams but makes enough bad shots so kids who only watch highlight videos on TikTok and have no idea of what basketball as a team sport is supposed to look like go>AYO THIS NIGGA GOATED FR FR IMAGINE HIM BALLING ON THOSE UNCS LIKE KOBE AND NASH
>>151418343Yeah I don’t think he’ll ever be good enough to lead a real contender. Same with Lamelo and Ja
>>151418343This has nothing to do with zoomers, trae is a manlet. You think AI guarded anybody lmao? If they're not hitting shots they're a net negative to the team and that's why manlets like CP3 will never win anything.
>>151416976the Kings could use more washed players
>>151418343>and have no idea of what basketball as a team sport is supposed to look like goYoure 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 thereMy 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" >>151417628Its morbid to think he probably has female fans now fawning over him, cause you know, females love serial killers and criminals no matter the race
>>151418385Agreed. They're all talented players, but not in the way that wins championships. They could certainly contribute to one, but not lead as you said.
Starting 5 season 2 was pretty great. SGA is the GOAT, Harden and Hali are super likable, and KD is entertainingly toxic. Only boring one was Hotep, but his grandpa was pretty based so it was ok. Much better than season 1 where Sabonis and Tatum were autoskips
>>151418829>Starting 5 season 2 was pretty greatMaybe yeah. I don't really trust Netflix to be impartial.>>151418829>SGA is the GOATSo I can't trust you either. That settles it.

>>151420868size matters
>>151420878>LeBald's numerous stacked teams vs out of prime Kobe and Jeremy Lin oh wow!
>>151420924When did LeBron ever have a stacked team? His teams were top heavy without depth starting Joel Anthony and Iman Shumpert in Finals games, Kobe had Lamar Odom coming off the bench and came off the bench his damn self for a championship

babbs cut a video of flagg diving for a loose ball to make it look like he got dropped by gabe vincent. havent seen this much cope since jokic first became a superstar
>>151421122Is Coop shooting 40% yet?
>>151421138not quite but he is shooting more efficiently than lebron did in his rookie season
>>151421215LeBron was a rookie in 2003
Me on the left
>>151421253he was clearly a bust
Whatever happened to Jaylen Brown's dad murdering someone?
>>151421323True shooting percentages and eFG% have dramatically gone up on average across the league. You’re disingenuously comparing Coop to a deadball era player that was a poor free throw shooter
>>151421215and he's shooting more 3s than mj did in 14 of his 15 seasonstimes change
>>151421337i 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 insteadanyway 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%
>>151421394Banchero 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
>>151421429well 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 ratiohe must have been a bust with no offenseprobably would have been cooked by bronny and gabe vincent rightanyway youre honing in on my comparison to lebron to avoid addressing your own disingenuousness, enjoy the preseason sample size while it lastsalso reddit spacing
>>151421530You’re honing in on the LeBron comparison and spaces used on an obscure sports discussion forum (signs someone is angry) and Cooper being a bust because he couldn’t crack 40% in exhibition games Enjoy defending Cooper from every criticism the rest of the season
>>151421563still no argumentjust brought up the fact that ts% has risen (everyone knows this)and then called me angrykek>reddit spacebtfo
>>151421589Everyone knows this besides people who compare raw rookie TS% numbers from two decades ago, that is the argumentFurther, Paola Banchero being inefficient doesn’t make Cooper any more efficient (or a bust)
>>151420843As 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. Jaden Ivey being out and losing Schroder and Beasley is gonna be a big problem for us. The hope is Ausar and Ron Holland on the wing take a leap.
>>151415715They are too white, they won't let them thrive
>>151421613point was that rookie lebron was very inefficient, i didnt bother to check how his relative ts% compared to flaggs because flaggs is from like 80 minutes of preseason play>Further, Paola Banchero being inefficient doesn’t make Cooper any more efficient (or a bust)point was to show that by your own standard rookie bron was inefficientyou need me to explain every point because you have a low iq, which is also why you think one poor shooting game in preseason is indicative of a rookies ability>reddit space cope and still no argument
>>151421668Everyone was ‘inefficient’ in LeBron’s era, Cooper is inefficient relative to players in his own era>reddit spacing I win!!!! Lil bro is trying to win so bad
>bawb can’t cope that Flagg is a bustStay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back.
>nba hangtime >nba jam>nba street 1/2Yep, I'm thinking it's based

>>151420001The east is really weak
>UKtard is the newest retardimagine desperately clinging to cooper flag.also one of the biggest midwit exposing things to ever bring up, is turnover ratio to imply some player is a better passer than another lmfao. not even going to explain it, i have talked about it too much here, if youre ever bringing up more or less turnovers alone, you dont know ball, really that simple. such people shouldnt be entertained, ignorance should be overcome by the ignorant, not be babysat by the knowledgeable.
>>151421877The UK poster always pretends to be retarded when it comes to white players
>>151421877>having more turnovers and fewer assists is goodkek

Wtf... This nigga crying over a preseason game?? Blood ain't built for this lmao
>>151422033I 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.
>>151422565Is fullcourtpass a parody account like centel? There is no way this is real
>>151422565crying cause he cared too much and wanted to do more, maybe he's insanely built for this
>>151422565Hansen is a true warrior. This is like that one time Liu Bei slammed his baby on the ground and started crying because they couldn't save Guan Yu.
>>151422590smaller players tend to be better ball handlerswhether magic johnson was a better passer than john stockton or not has literally no bearing on anything i said you are arguing with no one >reddit spacingjej

why didnt jokic just do this to caruso?
>>151422785Because Caruso was fronting him at the 3 point line with help waiting inside in case they lobbed it to Jokic. Shaq didn't deal with that kind of defense because of the illegal defense rule.
Which team will be the lolcow team this season?
>>151422785Because nba defense is actually hard since 03
>>151422803>>151422816jokic cant do this?

>>151422823How do they get away with so many fouls?
>>151422814>Which team will be the lolcow team this season?Brooklyn or Toronto. Both miserable as hell and the higher ups don't seem to care about hoops. Toronto may be funnier cause their fans try to export propaganda and seethe.
>>151422857you can't trust your eyes and brain, those are just hard-nosed smart defenders playing good defense

>>151422823Jokic can't jump and has a poor handle
Bron
Lebron has never been favored in any Finals series with the exception of the Bubble, Jordan was favored in every Finals series.
>>151422803>Shaq didn't deal with that kind of defense because of the illegal defense rule.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.
>>151423305Even MJ said he wouldn’t have had a career if he had to play against zone defense
This season finna be an all-time year of BAWB hoops low key
>>151423317Nah fr tho BAWBs be on the come up no cap
>>151423311Almost 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.
Currysisters…
>>151423305Illegal defense was around until 2002 season but the defenses didn't adjust until even later because coaching was so shit.
>>151423257He was favored in 2011 and lost.
>>151423379Fraud 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
>>151423379kinda disingenuous how people pretend Lebron never had help
>>151423527Don't forget the rigged Kevin Love trade for Wiggins and Anthony Bennette

Which team is going to surprise people the most in 2025/2026?
Ayton cant stop Wemby, Jokic, Hartenstein, Chet, Sengün, ADOkc and Rockets are defense beast teams, 41 year old lebron cant muscle his way through.Only way Lakers win the west is if they go on a run like the 2023 Heat with their 3pt shooting
>>151424288>Whats preventing the lakers from winning the title?that would be him
>>151424288Incoherent and shallow roster. Lebron isn't good anymore. Ayton isn't good anymore. Smart isn't good anymore
OKC vs Denver tonight

its funny the Nets had consistently good uniforms until the past 7 years

>>151427618The added depth, consistency and locked in Murray will allow Jokic to not kill himself and be tapped out by the off season. So yes.>>151427629>This is Chet's first game More like they're trying to save face because the ball knowers keep pointing out Nuggets win if they weren't all injured. Too bad the best they're getting is Payton Watson
Embarrassing for everyone involved this quarter
>>151427980Nugshit starters lost to Naz Reid and g-leaguers GTFOOH
>fantasy sleepers (Centers) 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 basketballDo people really?I’d just get bored 3 months in
My Nuggies would already have chip #2 locked up if McFlurry wasn't on a bullshit ass contract and we could've signed Luke GODnet. Now that's a cracker with some serious juice.Spurs got a real one

>Dort misses back to back 3sThunder passes the ball to him again,Jesus Christ, this team is not repeating.... they're offense hasn't changed, they refuse to shoot randomly for 5 minutes until they're down by 10,Durant Rockets are winning against them on opening night lol
>>151428121>nearlyThe only thing inevitable is nugshits choking, like they always do
>>151428166>they refuse to shoot randomly for 5 minutes until they're down by 10,Are you watching the game? Them shooting is what got them down in the first place
>>151428127this is just a warm-up game for them, meanwhile the nuggers are tryharding so much its pathetic
>>151428108based ball knower. Korndog is HIM
>>151428216They're missing their four best players you deranged flip
>Nnaji and Pickett are locking down OKCs benchlmao
>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.
>>151426059why she so skinny wtf
Watson is crazy athletic
WE
bruh am I tripping or did PWat really level up in the offseason
>Ref... ref!!! Payton Watson is cooking us REEEEEFFFFFF CALLS NOOOOOW!!!!
michael porter jr in 20 minutes has 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 22 points against the entire raptors starters
Nugshits can only win when refs rig it and let their G-leaguers go crazy, many such cases
>embiid comes back>maxey goes crazymany such cases
God bless Aaron Nesmith
>>151428329OKC was allowed to foul every time the ball was in play.
>>151421724bro they're cumming on your boy, are you gonna run
>SGA cooked by Pickett
>>151428399Ah yes, the trillions of invisible fouls every play.
not enough has been said about how bad the nets will be
>>151428200I meant in the sense of their offense stagnating, 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
Looks like we don't even need the corrupt refs to stop rigging it, they'll be figured out by the off season
>>151428290mpj all star season? would be the most hilarious shit ever, equivalent of okc trading harden level hilarious
>>151428501>why is SGA not taking more 3s....Because he can't use his golden whistle as a crutch to land them like his uncontested middies
cam johnson just cooked sga
>>151428501>why is SGA not taking more 3s....Because he's not being left wide open like Dort is since he's drawing 2 defenders retard. He's taken 2 and hit both of them so far.
>>151428290fuck it 50 pt preseason game
>>151428560>Because he can't use his golden whistle as a crutch to land them like his uncontested middiesI honestly hate this racist fucker Aus...but i unironically think this is it.
>>151428569he literally got bodied so hard that he had to pass out of that layup
>>151428557spoiler alert
>>151428557they traded mpj cause he played with one arm the entire playoffs... they are retarde
>>151428597I have no hate for you bro, I'm glad you see it too
OKCisters what the fuck is happening?
>>151428612he got past him, drew a triple team, and passed to a wide open shooter
>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.
.... h-hardaway, wtf?!
THJ is really outplaying Cam Johnson kek
>>151428501>why is sga not taking more 3scos he went to the school of cp
>>151428585And 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
>>151428658it's just a pre-season game, does not mean anything
Celtics gonna dominate again this year aren't they?
>>151428737Irrelevant,OKC is showing the same issues that brought them to 7 games against weak/mediocre teams
>>151428733Yes, SGA should drive into a zone defense. You're retarded.
I called out the jeets pretending to be MPJ fans as soon as the trade happened btw>and playmake betterWho knew trading your bet playmaker for a hacking award doesn't actually make you a better team. This is what happens to every unethical team BTW

>>151429024Keep digging jeet
>>151428730>cos he went to the school of cpThat would explain a lot actually
>>151428861>But its the Pre-Season guysUm 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

>>151429211Don't get it twisted though, he has some brain farts,I just think he's spent most of his career as a roleplayer and nowadays solid roleplayers don't translate well into super stars like Bruce Brown on the Pacers, he can be a number 1 option but has to want it and push himself into a star,
>>151429287It’s Kobe jealousy syndrome. I look at these dudes like Paul Pierce who was from Inglewood, probably grew up less than a mile away from the Forum. And you’ve gotta watch peer your age win countless rings while you’re stuck on a shitty Celtics roster. Same with Gilbert Arenas, dude is from the Valley and was a rich kid. Him and Richard Jefferson. Just haters man. At least Paul Pierce seems like a fun hang, I can’t stand the disingenuousness of Gilbert & RJ. They just scream “corny valley niggas”.

Mpj ended the game with 34 pts, 10 rebounds, 3 assists in 33 minutes. Would have been a triple double if he had better teammates

>>151429597Womp womp!
>>151429540>>151428279>>151428262I don’t get why people thought he wouldn’t be good (?). The same things people like so much about the Thompson Twins (length, athleticism, defensive upside, lack of outside shooting) are all things PWat has as well. He’s obviously not cerebral like an Aaron Gordon, but he’s a freak and will be an impactful player for a while I think
Knicks Hornets taking this game a little too serious
>>151429620Yeah if he had better teammates he would have had 10 assists and won by 15

>>151429467Nigga is legit retarded. Dude thinks because he beat Curry in a 3point contest once that hes a better shooter. Dude is on some retirement home "back in my day during the war i was a hero" level delusion.

>>151429668Reminder he’s the only man ever to shart himself mid finals game, got carried out by other grown men, put onto a wheelchair and visibly fake cried. Then returned to the game. The man has some demons. But again, Paul is just jealous of the Steph success too.
>>151429540Malone hated Watson so he didn't get enough reps and if he made a mistake he'd be pulled from the game

>>151429530Just do the diddy-diddy if you want toBecause then I can see if I want you
>Clarkson is now a knickKinda cool ngl
If we can learn anything from this game it's that Chokic is overrated and his bench players like Watson, Strawther, and Pickett all play better when he isn't on the floor. Meanwhile my GOAT goes perfect from the field with little effort and takes the rest of the game off. Just MVP type shit.
Haven’t been watching pre-season but heard the rookies are playing good. Who should I pay attention to?
>>151429763He'd be good on the Nuggets
Jalen Pickett is actually fucking good, can't believe Booth got that one right
>>151429872NoneZoomers are washed Last years class was badWemby is the exception
Maybe Malone was the problem
>>151429781Take away stephs shooting and hes still a better ball handler than pierce, a better passer than pierce, a better screener than pierce, a betger cutter than pierce, and curry could literally NOT touch the ball for an entire game and still provide his teammates with open looks.Fuck, Steph is probably a better finisher than Pierce too. Im taking 2021 stephs finishing over paul pierce almost anyday. And Steph carried with comparably bad team to Pierces shitty convenient excuse teams.
>>151429865I do agree that "Le poor Jokic has no help" has been overrated and retarded for a long time now. Already disproved this some days ago exposing his teams record without him, factoring the context of Murray being injury prone
Players that won with no help:

>>151429865underrated? You don't know ball. He was the only reason the Olympic team of USA had any competition. I'm guessing you're skin color doesn't match Jokic's. Therefore, you're bias, and won't give respect when respect is due: your perspective is based on racial prejudices. How sad.
>>151430018You got blown out and stopped responding to him when he proved you wrong lol
>>151430018curryfag this is embarrassingyou got anally raped in the field of discourse, you gotta move on
>>151430134Sorry, statpadders that get 100 touches a game don't impress me,>He was the only reason the Olympic team of USA had any competitionLast I saw he choked a double digit lead and lost like everyone else. Take away Bogdonavic from that team and his bum ass loses to Lauri Markannen and a bunch of spurdos.
I don't know why this needs to be a flagrant,accidents happen, but always I didn't see the initial clip, odd they didn't replay it
uhhh nugshitxisters????
>>151430112>>151430124>LeBron KekkityKyrie was the best player when it mattered most. Bad bad take >Jokic Pic-related. Jamal Murray also had a 50 point playoff game. He basically turned into ‘01 Kobe in 2023. I mean, don’t kid yourselves
>>151430241He went in his landing space. It's the Kawhi rule
>>151430245only dude on the court who I give a fraction of a fuck about is daron holmes
>>151430246>Pic relatedThey aren't sending their best tonight kek
>>151430203>>151430204Lol. Retards. No, he just applauded himself correct on a delusional point that deliberately ignored my point. He literally delusionally made up another point that the argument was centered about and ignored the narratives I laid out that I was challenging.
DIENG LEGACY GAME
to be honest Jokic probably has had the least help out of any all star player maybe besides Trae Young in the last 15 years
>>151430093Chauncey billups
>>151430134this isnt real bum ass fucking retard, jokic was never ever shooting 50% from 3 kys
chokeggets
>>151430350are you stupid? that pistons team was so well rounded, everyone was awesome
>>151430317>he just applauded himself correct>ignored the narratives I laid out that I was challengingit's really funny when retards try to sound intellectual
>>151430317>He literally delusionally made up another point that the argument was centered about and ignored the narratives I laid out that I was challenging.I understand what you're trying to say but can you at least try not to sound like a retarded ESL and type out coherent sentences?
>>151430134>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
>>151429865>fake demoning in preseason
>>151430407he can't, because if he wrote something coherent he could be challenged on it
>>151430426You're actually delusional and dont know what youre talking about
>>151430426>uptempo offense if he’s your center pieceBABBs and Jeets are really struggling today lol
>>151430380They all got carried by Tayshaun Prince
>>151430260I see.... thanks for the clarification>>151430212Throw 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
>>151430278The 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 roundCommentators even said Kuminga rolled his ankle
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>151430458I accept your concession
LMAOOOOOOOOO
>>151430212>statpadders that get 100 touches a game don't impress meSo, Michael Jordan, Lebron James,... according to you, these guys don't impress you. It makes us actual ball knower's wonder: What does this leaf actually consider to be a great player?
>>151429042GET FUCKED BAWB
fraud status?
>my spurms undefeated in the preseasonJust hang the banner now
>>151430548>See this proves Jokic is holding them back they're winning!>See my championship starters went life and death with your bench and barely won!Somehow every jeet narrative got blown out in the span of one game kek
>bricking a FT with 10 seconds lefthonestly disgusting
>>151430585you can just bitch slap a dude while dunking?
>>151430516Don’t worry. I can fuck Podz back to full health
>>151430548racial talk? really? This brown leaf's insecurities are clearly showing. Why does anyone even respond to such ignorance?
>>151430426That 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.
>>151430612Your teams and copes are hilarious. Stay losing like the reject you are.
All this shows is SGA has a super team and Jokic yet again is carrying bums
>>151430669ai fagand I like jokic
>>151430635As long as it makes for a good highlight, that's what Silver wants
gaybros we got too cock
>>151430648>pic is from a director who uses the N-word religiously in his writing. Tarantino is overrated shit. Just like Jokic. PTA & Kubrick mog him
>>151430669Numbers 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.
>>151430669>Opponents shoot worse at the rim against him than most so-called elite rim protectors.Factually untrue. He was the second worst starting center at rim protection in the league, only behind Bam.
>>151430707>Your teams and copes are hilarious.Building a Time Machine so your immigrant invader jeet parents can pay for proper English lessons instead of relying on the public school ESL class
>>151430716>False accusations,Stop breathing>>151430709I 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

>>151430866dude it couldn't be more obvious if you left the prompt in, there's like 20 linguistic hallmarks, and I'm not even talking about em dashes
>>151430857>grammar naziing on fucking 4chanYou're so desperate for a W it's pathetic. Such is life when you live vicariously through an overweight fat slav and have zero value in the world.
Cam johnson is fucking dog shitMPJ SAVE ME
>>151430915>Jeet follows my instructions and takes his time replyingThat's an okay start
>>151430809Idky 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.
>>151430989>Hes never watched a basketball game in his lifeit's ai dude, it's never seen anything before>putting the little linguistic mark in his name>it's not x it's y>and the x? y zetc
>>151430669Why 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.

>>151424288Ayton, Smart and LeBum are washed. Rui and AR are not good enough. It's basically another Lukek carry show except with an even worst roster in a much more packed conference.
>>151425124Doughcic Stromboli legs will give out before he can truly surpass Gianpiss or SGAY. By the time Cooper Fagg because a top 10 player Chokic will be in his mid to late 30s.
>>151427504god I fucking hate the Nigerian Immigrant so fucking much.Such a fraudulent little faggot whose greatest accomplishment was winning a ring over DominAyton and Shooker. Fuck this fraud.
