Per: @WindhorstESPN on @RichEisenShow The NBA knew about the illegal gambling scheme and tried to sweep it under the rug. Wild. "I just want to point something out. The sports books caught the irregular betting on Terry Rozier the day it happened... And guess what? The NBA— Rozier didn't play the rest of the season and he had faked the injury. So, it wasn't cause of the injury. The NBA pulled him"https://x.com/SavageSports_/status/1981449447394492914previous >>151574860
goated refs
Luka might legit be a better offensive engine than jokic now he's skinny
Luka-Reaves-Smart is a really good passing trio.
the kings suck. would get raped by any team that plays defense
Luka needs to just punch someone in the mouth at some point, no one gets hacked like he does
>>151578537so this just confirms MJ was suspended in '94?also I heard that windys plane had to make an emergency landing. no joke

Oh my God I just cant. Watriors have turned over virtually every possession, this team is just garbage man, holy fuck what the fuck.
>>151578708I've seen this photo before and I never knew that was D-Wade lmaoo
>>151578642For some reason I imagine black girls like Angel's pits smelling like nothing/skin but someone like Caitlin or HVL some bite to it. Jake LaRavia seems like a wild dude and might be an underrated pickup for the Lakers. Remember opening up league pass (iptv) last season and catching him dropping like 27 points when he was a King.
What happened to xim?

>>151578801He was super injured. He's probably gonna last for 30 games before getting injured again. Bro just can't stay healthy.
Luka and Reeves are gonna have to average 30 ppg and 25 ppg until lebron comes back if they wanna get into the playoffs
The Wolves are the most dogshit team. They're really just a team built to stop Denver and nothing else.
>>151578828LuSAD :(
i need bam's bbc in my pussy
>>151578799look at the top 12 players of all time and find one who acted like a thugit's why you can't put your franchise in the hands of a lamelo, ja, or edwards

Blazers defense and pace is realy good, depending on their shooting they could be great this season
KWAB. On his birthday of all days.
Chauncey Billups was like Goku's weighted clothes but with a cock sleeve. This is the greatest team assembled.

Will LeBron's return improve or hurt the Lakers?
damn westbrook got called for a foul the thunder never gets despite them doing it 20 times a game
LuGOOOOOOD
LUKA FOR THE THREE
UNGUARDABLE
Wish Candace Parker would touch me like that
Loooooka
We can stop pretending SGA is better than Luka now
If westacoloytes were actually watching the kings game rn they would look away lmao
Im legit going to cry how fucking bad my warriors are.Curry 22 shots on 54.5% shooting, 7 for 14 from 3 and not a single player on our team with field goal attempts above 7. And I dont expect the game to end with any of them above 10.None of these niggas can get to the rim. Shoot, or even fucking catch or pass the ball.Dont get me wrong im disappointed in currdawg making it even worse, having 2 turnovers in a row. But both of them game from him basically dribbling surrounded by 2 people because hes the only offensive force on the team. I think he was playing tired towards the end because he was just lazier with his dribble, and made some lazy passes (probably gave up after making so many dime passes, and teammates just doing nothing with it)Dude, I thought we were good. But this Portland Defense is SERIOUSLY elite. Like Houston last playoffs tier and they arent even playing zone just straight man to man for the most part. Theyre just all big as fuck, and none of the warriors are good enough finishers to get by any of them, even with fishing for freethrows.People are going to say "The problem is the defense" and yes, but not really. So many of Portlands points have come off fast break turnovers, against a very clearly tired (and small) Warriors team because even DRAYMOND looked ASS on defense, and if draymond is looking ass on defense then something is up.
the nba is rigged against westbrook. adam silver is trying to get him out the league. what the fuck is this? they're calling shit they never call on him. when's the last time someone got called for a lane violation? niggers do lane violations 20 times a game.
>>151578980No one cares lil bro
>>151578980Nobody watching CurrCVCK, nigga
>>151578974Luka foulbaits a shit ton too but for some reason he's a lot more fun to watch. Shais game is just ugly
candace parker is the best commentator i heard and i'm tired of being the only one who says it
>>151578976>westacoloytesIt's a dead religion
>>151578974There's no pretending.
Luka is gonna get swept by Wemby. Don’t let him fool you, the wolves are just shit.
Spurs bros how we feeling?
Clippers arena playing Pink Venom, hell yeah
dFaggot and candace parker reek!
>>151578998simp faggot
THANK YOU BASED AYTON
Ayton robbed Luka of 10 assists tonight.
Wolves are dogshit without Nickeil, And the foul problems are a huge issue, McDaniels cant help himself without slapping and shoving and its a pain to watch, they're just cold like it was against Milwaukee last season, not sure whats going on,I wouldn't be surprised if Finch gets fired this season,
Fuck D Wade. He betrayed heterosexuals everywhere because of what he did to his son. Let alone his bullshit politics where he says he’s afraid of Florida because it’s a red state. I hope you never come back to Dade county faggot.
How the fuck are there 3 Western conference teams without a PG this season? Isn't that the easiest position to fill?
>>151579014We eating good and shopping and the big and tall store again.
>>151578997Basically this. I actually think Luka foul baits worse ironically. But /nba/ isnt ready for that convo. Shai is just ugly to watch
>the literal FBI bust you for rigging games>continue rigging gamesAdam Silver needs to go to jail
Now lets compare this performance to the Mavs game
The fact that you have to contest these circus 3s from luka is stupid
OH NO NO NO

LUKA FINALLY DUNKS
>lebron showed no emotion on tuesdaywhat changed?
>>151578997When he foulbait, he doesn't always fall like a retard with a stupid face.He will always try to score, to make a pass instead of trying to get a foul.He is a better passer and a better 3P shooter, He has better highlights, better clutch moments, some of his games will be remembered.So yeah, Luka is a better player and way more fun to watch than Shai Egregious Alexander the fraud.
>[Wade Baldwin] after dropping 10 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds and 7 turnovers: “That's like a Westbrook on the Lakers statline right there.”https://streamable.com/evkyilnigga better watch his back

Love watching these white boy lakers cook.
Warriors getting assfucked lol
LUKA DUNK BROOOOOO
nah why the fuck is adam silver rigging shit against the kings though. first game the lavine 3. this game a bunch of fucking fouls and violations that are usually never called called on westbrook. someone hire a contractor to make adam silvers house an oven
forgot ayton was a starting center for a team that won the WCF
>>151579107Yeah, I agree. Even when he doesnt get a call he makes that exaggerated face almost anytime he feels the least bit of contact. He also naturally has herky jerky movements foul baiting or not. So I think it just looks more exaggerated. Even though Luka will literally push into you and get a foul. I mean shai does it too, but not how Luka does.
Is it me or is Luka blonder this year?
>>151579127He saw all the chatter when he was doomscrolling at 2am
2 points 2 assists for a 50 point triple dub PLEASE

LeBron needs to go.This is Luka's team now.No one needs his old ass anymore.
luka droppin 50, this gotta be worse than 9/11
Dude I actually cant believe it. I cannot believe how bad every single person on this warriors team other than Curry and Al Horford is. Holy fuck. This is seriously some of the worst basketball ive ever seen.
>>151578537Not surprised he was caught day one. No shit computers would catch some bullshit automatically.
>>151579145He looks a little blonder, yeah. Probably spending more time in the sun since he's in LA now. Makes sense.
>>151579163Warriors are going back to a poverty franchise once steph quits
How do y'all cope watching the most rigged sport in the world? Even NFL and MLB are less rigged kek
>>151579184NFL is way more rigged, anyone who watched the Chiefs last year knows that
Jimmy Butler is a bitch and will retire ringless lol
IT'S BRONNY TIME
>luka stat padding in a blowout
The Suns are perma-flushed.
>>151579152this is hilarious because Luka is literally everything the mavs need. Sucks for Flagg
>>151579184whats rigged? rozier and jontay porter playing like shit in a fuckass game in march?
>Lakers keeping their starters in so Luka can keep statpaddingShameless
>Lebrons PEDs reversed a decade of obesity and alcoholism
>>151579199He's trying to get 50 lol
>>151579134>that's false>no way>not this time
>>151579039At least Luka gives you magic. Step back 3s. Crazy passes and fakes. SGA is just optimized around spamming herky jerky middies with his foul baiting.
You know your team sucks when even Luka can make a dunk in your game
Luka not getting his 50, lol
>>151579221>One has a ring one doesn’t>One has an MVP one doesn’t Huh it’s almost like Shai is going to be remembered more fondly
>>151578537this is fucking stupid. Rozier is exactly the kind of player you drop the hammer on to send a message. Why in the fuck would you sweep it under the rug for a guy like him? Silver and his flunkies can't be that incompetent
>>151579234Damn, Luka is washed
>>151579207>whats rigged?Can you post your IQ test results real quick
>>151579048Lmao I thought this was just making fun of the defensive scheme of letting JB dribble left but this is much worse than that
LMAO
TimberBABBs can at least go to bed knowing LuGOD stopped at 48
>>151579039Luka actually tries to make the shot while foul baiting. SGA throws his head back like he's getting his bussy blown out, then throws the ball in the general direction of the hoop like a bitch.
>>151579236>Shai is going to be remembered more fondly
>>151579220>A 6'8" dude needs a full sprint from half court just for a rimgrazer
Nico sister I thought he won?

What's happening with our Ace, bros?
>>151579266Keep the tears flowing BABB
>luka wants to hit 50>bricks a FTBALL DON'T LIE
>>151579236Nobody is going to be talking about FTA. Boring ahh foulbaiter with no personality.
>>151579221Dude nobody is saying Luka isnt a nicer player to watch, ive said this multiple times. I just cannot find Shais game nice or even that skilled no matter how much I watch.All that considered. Luka is a worse foul baiter. Defenders will have their hands up against him, and he'll draw the foul just pushing into them and then deliberately taking an awkward shot.Shai is honestly just as bad with the pump fake into "Imma jump into" you. But idk something about how Luka does it triggers me more.Shai makes the game legit boring when he foul baits though. Luka has more of a bag even when not foul baiting
>>151579221I agree, but he's got a ringLeBron fans have tired to convince everyone it doesn't count.But it does.SGA is gay.But he's got that ring.
ayo I thought Bones Hyland was playing in yurop. Good for him making the Wolves. He's making them worse, but still good for him lmao
Is that Joe Ingles on my television?
SGA makes weird ass faces when he’s foul baiting idk why.
>LeBitch will come back and ruin this
BRONNY JAME
>>151579239They didn't want to bring any heat to all of their betting sponsors. If people knew the shit has a chance of being rigged, they're not going to spam parlays on DraftYids.

>bronny fucked up an easy play
>reffies tried to give Zion and the Pellies that win>they lost anywaySpursbros we are BACK to thwarting the ambitions of the league office because we're too good. It's a good feeling. Makes me feel nostalgic. In the days of Pop and the Big Three they always used to win games Stern didn't want them to win.
>they pulled luka when he was 1 short from 50HELLO LUKA 50+ POINT BETTORS??? VEGAS CALLED AND SCREWED US OVER
Thought Bronny was gonna dunk the fuck out of that
>>151579281If sga had curry’s whistle he’d be coming off the bench.
Smart lowkey looked impressive tonight considering his injuries
>>151579271>>151579278You both, just like Luka, wish you were American.
niggas r full court pressing bronny baka lebron needs to slap the taste out of some peoples mouths
my lakies :)
yoo wtf I thought Joe Ingles retired. He was fun to watch in his prime I aint gonna lie.
>>151579320Why are you sucking FTAs cock then?
>>151579297they already crossed that bridge. At that/this point you have to figuratively hang dudes to nip it in the bud and scare off future problems especially when it's a legit vet

Luka is the most fun player to watch in the league. FOH abou Wemby or Jokic.
>>151579306Adam Silver is a criminal

Will the larriors even make the play in?
>>151579335I’m not I’m just a Luka hater because fuck him
>>151579344
>>151579199At least he didn't need 2 OT and 26 FT to make 49
>>151579336Jontay was a literal who 10 day player. Rozier is a known guy in the league. They didn't want to have to deal with that headline.
>>151579333He was contemplating retiring but his daughter wanted him to play one more year so she can wear her new jeans to his games (true story)

>>151579318He was great and changed the game when he came on. Laravia wasn‘t too bad either
>>151579352Fuck Ant too. I hate how they tried to astroturf him into the next Jordan it’s pathetic. Tatum is a better player despite his pussyness.

>>151579332My happiest moment is Luka finally makes a dunk after so many years <3
>>151579357that kind of thinking is dumb. You always get in front of this kind of stuff especially when it was already known the feds were sniffing around. Now the headline is 100x worse and makes the whole league look even more shady
>>151578599LeDrunk just proving the rumors of his alcoholism are real
Imagine what Shaq would do to this frog
>>151579139Ayton ain't shit without Chris Paul
>>151579312Nobody here disagrees with you. Luka is still a worse foul baiter.I dont know why you guys cant get this through your head. I have literally been the one to constantly talk about how Curry averaged 30 and 32 without averaging more than 6.3 free throws in the 32 average and 5.1 in the 30 average.Until shai averaged 30 with less than 8 free throws averaged (because I dont even think he could even do it with less than 7) then he gets no respect from me.All this considered...Luka is a worse foul baiter.
>>151579143Luka also has scars all up and down his arms like Jokic and Shai has never even chipped a nail God i hate that faggot, and all canadians
>have a bunch of blacks in the same general vicinity >crimes just start manifesting out of thin airfunny how that happens
>>151579292
>Shai 55 points: 15/31 shooting (2-7 from 3) >Luka 49 points: 14-23 FG, 5-12 3PT, 16-19 FTAbsolutely volumes

>>151579413>You always get in front of this kind of stuffHow do you possibly get in front of this story?What's the sell?"We suspended Mafia-associated coaches and players for fixing games":Honestly, I don't know how to spin it, so it sounds less bad.
>>151579439All this tells me is that Luka is nothing without his meme chucks
Gaden McTraniels got fucking blown out by LuGOD kek
This educated folk doesn't know that the gambling ads do go towards his contract
>>151579433My take is Luka is fat and is more of a pitbull, He's hard to guard cause he's heavy and isometric, and he shoots 3s efficiently even when dared to shoot meanwhile Shai's 3 point shooting has been shit, especially in the playoff film watch and the beginning of the season so far, and when Shai is forced to shoot he makes awful passes
I like the couch set up on the Amazon post-game.
>>151578742This shit always pisses me off... You can hear my AC whining when it's on. Why do retards insist on being fucking retarded
>>151579463Don't worry, we don't expect leaves to use their brain cells
I LOVE GAMBLING AND IM GONNA DO IT TOMMOROW,Im surprised I cashed this early in the season, I love this, i wish I bet more
>LuGOD>FTA>Yannis>Wembythe mvp race finna be good frfr
Luka raped ANT
>>151579462yes exactly that. You call them isolated incidents and show that the league will crack down hard on every case in the name of "integrity" and all that shit. The feds can handle fallout from the mafia stuff in the long run. It is straight up the correct and smart thing to do especially when the alternative is turning a blind eye and hoping it goes away
>>151579480Luka is more like Harden and Shai is more like Kobe basically
>>151579515Luka is like Harden x Kobe with better passing
>>151579514All of this is showing me, yet again, that Silver just sucks compared to Stern. Stern would be handling this a lot better. Stern would have handled a LOT of things in the last ten years of the league better.

>>151579524Kobe seemed to like his game a lot so probably true. But the decel part of his game is basically a carbon copy of Harden. That and theyre both fat
The warriors had a great start last year as well, they will break down in a few months
>>151579506It's still Jokic, you fucking guido
>>151579557Giannis had the best game today tho
Ayo why'd nobody tell me Giannis and Kawhi are hooping?
somebody explain the clownshow in dallas using pokemon terms
>white guy american with the number 1 pickyou thought he was gonna be larry bird, didn't you? only the euro white boys have sauce now.
>>151579569Giannis is pure Greek
>>151579585they got the bad pokemon critter
>>151579524>with better passingWith the exact same passing as Harden, Harden has always been a good passer. Luka isnt THAT much better.
Flagg is the most bust-proof number 1 pick this century. Wemby is still an injury risk.
>>151579568To be fair, Jokic hasn't looked MVP calibre yet. He clearly didn't take the off-season seriously. He was missing all of this threes and couldn't even land the floaters from 5 feet in around the basket.
>>151579562>Golden Start WarriorsNot again... :'(>>151579585Mavs used a fire type charmander to fight against a water type gyarados
All of the guys on the show walk like they're 80
>>151579585Dallas is running a team of 6 physical walls and hoping a max spdef skarmory is enough to handle special threats.
>>151579559Yeah I agree, slowing down time and decel is a huge part of his game but he also has underrated cutting. The Kobe comparison more than anything is the ego + tough shot making. Like Germany said before, needing to contest Mickey Mouse shots because they're live to go in adds a lot of scoring gravity
Jokic looked like absolute shit and still got a triple double.
>>151579436they'll say white men keeping them down

>>151579639That should tell you how meaningless a triple double is more than anything.
>>151579645thats not even ash on the right or is it some weird reboot shit im not aware of
>>151579562Yeah. Probably. Im seeing it now. This bench, and role players were overrated as "deep" by some retarded analysts because they dont understand ball and didnt watch this exact same bench fumble the bag in 2024 and 25, but fuck. This game just proved how bad we were.NOT A SINGLE WARRIOR other than Podz took more than 7 field goals. And then if you actually watched the game, youd see how many legit dime passes Curry made that none of his teammates EVEN JIMMY could take advantage of because Portland is big as fuck and not a single warrior other than the SMALLEST DUDE (curry) knows how to finish at the rim against bigs.FUARK. My warriors are ass. I dont care that kuminga has been playing as a roleplayer lately. Im sorry, I really respect his development but we NEED to trade him for a better offensive (or maybe defensive but ehhh idk even Jimmy and Draymond were struggling against this portland front court I dont know how much another wing defender could help, even if we had wiggins I think we lose just not by 30). Its simply not enough (he also had 4 turnovers but ill give him a break, because even curry was getting stripped (although he was doubled or surrounded almost every time and his offense compensates anyway))
>>151579652Flagg will have to be better than Jordan for this trade not to be the worst trade in all sports history.

>>151579668Aaron Gordon wasn't the one giving up over half his scored points on the defensive end
>>151579666Yeah the Mavs fucked up like Crazy. Even if he became Jordan itd probably still be a bad decision. Because theres literally no fucking point in trading for a Jordan when you already have a Kobe.
>>151579678>victorias secret the secret is that jeffery epstein ran the company for over a decade
>>151579524>>151579609But Luka seems less ball dominant, and less of asshat like Harden and at least Luka was able to take a team to the finals meanwhile Larden couldn't do that ever against Golden State once ever and is why Houston is 0-5 against the GSW
>>151579689>>151579666wow its almost as if the league front office forced the trade and thats why mark cuban ragequit
>1 point>0/3 FGPeople talking about flagg but my boy bouta be out of this league by this time next year.
>>151579666Ironically this makes it look worse and might actually get the league in trouble. Everybody with a brain knows everything involving Luka, the Lakers, the Mavs, and Flagg stinks like shit. Before we all kind of rolled our eyes and got on with it, but now that the feds are actively starting to sniff around the NBA, suddenly that's not a guarantee. Feels like a seal has been broken. What if somebody DOES investigate the details of trading Luka to the Lakers, and this year's draft lottery? A court case could result in discovery and subpoenas.Now that the first crack has appeared in the NBA's armor it feels like shit could start flying apart really quickly.
>>151579694For all of Larden's faults at his best he's one of the most lethal offensive players ever so Luka's comp being better Harden is pretty good
>>151579685LMFAO
>>151579702Nosferatu lookin ahh
>>151579703Harden is arguably more athletic than Luka too
>>151579703I agree aussiebro but real niggas forget Harden was LeGM before Lakers Bron could crawl and contend,from Howard, to Paul, to Westbrick, to vegas on offdays, Harden behind all that shit,
>>151579732Kek he's such an underrated schemer. I bet when he's 40 he's going to land on a contending team
>>151579703It's still amazing to me that the Thunder had Harden, Durant, and Westbrook IN THEIR PRIMES and didn't win shit.
>>151579747Kyrie imploding the nets superteam made people forget harden had some real good squads before lol
>>151579666They didn't trade Luka for a draft pick. They traded him for Anthony Davis.

>>151579694>and at least Luka was able to take a team to the finals meanwhile Larden couldn't do that ever against Golden State once ever and is why Houston is 0-5 against the GSWWhy would you say something so stupid? Lukas entire career has been facing western teams decimated by the CBA one way or the other. Luka has never had to face anything even close to the 2015 to 19 warriors in his entire career until Boston in the finals, where Boston was so good that their two stars played like ass and still swept and exposed Luka.Why the fuck is Luka getting Lebron tier praise and talks now "He Lecarried his team to the LeFinals". Lebron played in some of the weakest conferences ever with stacked teams on top of already being an amazing player, yeah no shit?Curry missed two playoffs in the 2020s so far, and the only time he face Luka he washed him. Admittedly he didnt even play well because he had just come off an injury. But I hate this narrative shit. Im starting to notice that Luka is being talked about like Lebron where this nigga can fail 100 times and still be propelled to GOAT talks above other players just because of how dominant and well rounded his game is. All this while Luka isnt even half the defender Lebron was at the same age.I don't even fucking like Harden, because retards pretend he would have beaten my warriors and that the 2019 series unfair despite how flawed that warriors team was, but the disrespect is legit insane, for somebody who was in top 3 MVP talks for like 5 years straight, and one 1 mvp, and arguably deserved the 2020 MVP

>>151580034My warriors are such a fucking disappointment. I want to talk about them indepth so much. But nobody on here actually understands or watches ball. They just talk about ball like its news and headlines. So I cant talk about it with anybody, and the couple warriors retards ive seen on other platforms talking about it are retarded and dont understand ball either.If you are saying that Jimmy played BAD this game (which people are saying, and they are right) Them Kuminga played GARBAGE this game. 4 fucking turnovers and couldnt buy a consistent bucket without fouls (when you have to rely SOLELY on fouls to get a bucket, then youre trash. Luka is GREAT because of his efficient 2 point game AND the fact that he can draw fouls. But hes good INSPITE of that. Not because of that.)Kuminga and Butler are LITERALLY THE EXACT SAME PLAYER. Like LITERALLY. Butler is just smarter and less athletic. But it doesnt matter because Kuminga simply isnt good enough of a player despite his athleticism to get consistent buckets, whether curry is on the floor or off.Kuminga fishing for more assists has also led to him risking more turnovers.Honestly draymond was fucking ass this game too. Absolutely horrendous turnovers, even worse than Kuminga. and neither of them have the excuse curry does of getting surrounded as soon as he crosses half court and even then I dont give curry a pass he looked like he was playing tired and lazy in that early 4th quarter. Maybe he just gave up, because he was having an insanely efficient game, literally just as efficient as Luka, just without the benefit of the whistle, which is why he foul baited for the first time ive seen in a long time, but it wasnt enough.Curry had absolute dime passes too, that werent taken advantage of because nobody on his team can shoot, or even finish. That one Kuminga dunk was a fluke that never happened again.

Each year a new challenger appears, the dogs bark and it's all the same... New season, they bring in a new guy and the circle repeats.
>>151580082>Kidd after experimenting Point Flagg and loses 2 games
curry triggered the bawb cord with this
Look. I respect the Kuminga development and effort as much as the next guy. Seriously, no joke. But its just not enough for a title contending team. I dont even think hes the worst rookie, literally every other rookie is actual garbage, and our bench sucks look at picrel, our bench at half time. I heard an analyst try to tell me the warriors have a deep team with a straight face. These bums dont know anything about ball, they clearly never watched the warriors seriously in 24 and 25 or else they wouldnt say this stupid shit.Dude, nobody thought this Portland team was going to be THIS good. But they are an elite defensive team i think, with a huge front court. I legit think they got most of their points off of fast break turnovers. Probably our biggest counter seeing how small our warriors are and how limited our offense is.I've heard some warriors fans thinking we need an Andrew Wiggins for games like this. But I think youre delusional. If we had wiggins we lose by 10 or 20 instead 30. Curry scored 35 fucking points, and not a single other warrior toom more than 7 shots other than Podz and he obviously wasnt efficient. The problem was NOT defense, we are never winning defensively against a team this big. Our problem was a fundamental inability to buy and offense imo
>>151580154Take SGA off this list, he's a tier above Luka and those other ringless bums
someone needs to unretire zaza so he can go in for 5 mins and break wembys legs like toothpicks
>>151580154how many rings?
>>151580082how the fuck do you even fire carlisle for this guy?
>>151580176Don't fucking remind me of that shit. The Spurs would have won that WCF all those years ago if that goon hadn't injured Kawhi. And of course the league did fuck-all about it, didn't even suspend him a game.
>>151580090Nah, Venasaur is not that popular. Everybody is looking for the Mega Charizard card, but at least you can make a tier B deck with Mega Vensaur.
>>151580189They didn't. Carlisle resigned because he didn't want to coach Luka.
Man, who the fuck did Portland lose to being this fucking good. Either that or the warriors are legit a fraudulent team carried absurdly by Curry's gravity alone, and this time the gravity simply wasnt enough when you have Big ass niggas on the opposing team clogging up the space.
>>151580170You’re not wrong about most of this, but you’re looking at the wrong target. Kuminga isn’t the problem. He’s developing fine, he’s just trapped in a system that doesn’t know what to do with him. You can’t expect him to be “enough” for a title run when the team around him collapses the second Curry sits. That’s a front-office and coaching issue, not a player issue.The “deep team” talk is laughable. The bench looks decent on paper but in reality it’s just a rotation of guys who can’t stay consistent. Some can shoot, some can defend, but almost none can do both on the same night. Calling that “depth” is just spin from people who don’t actually watch the games.You’re right about Portland. They’re not a surprise anymore; they play disciplined defense, and they feed off turnovers. The Warriors made them look elite by throwing lazy passes and refusing to get back in transition. Half those fast-break points were just bad offense turning into easy buckets. It’s not even about size, it’s about focus.As for Wiggins, he wouldn’t have changed much. Maybe the score’s closer, but the same structural problem remains. The offense dies when Curry doesn’t touch the ball, and nobody else can create their own shot. Seven attempts for everyone not named Curry or Podz is pathetic. That’s not on effort, that’s on design.This team’s identity used to be movement, spacing, and chaos. Now it’s Curry dragging everyone else behind him. You can’t win like that anymore. Until they find a second reliable initiator or fix the spacing, they’re just a play-in team with nostalgia. Kuminga isn’t holding them back. The roster build is.
>>151580193im convinced that his entire role was to go in and just hurt people to this day he still had a no show job in golden states front office as a kickback
Like look at this fucking bullshit. Curry is singlehandedly keeping the entire teams 3 point percentage above 40%.

>>151580224Respectfully, short takes kill actual discussion. You can’t explain anything real in 100 characters. That’s not conversation, that’s noise. Basketball, strategy, development, even team chemistry — all of it needs context. You can’t say “Kuminga mid” or “bench trash” and expect anyone to learn something. A full breakdown shows why things happen: rotation choices, matchups, spacing, effort. That’s how you get smarter about the game instead of recycling surface-level takes.I get that long posts can feel like essays, but they exist because the situation isn’t simple. If someone’s willing to write something detailed, it’s because they’re trying to add clarity, not flex their vocabulary. You don’t need to read every paragraph, but the option to dig deeper should exist. Otherwise, every thread turns into the same three recycled opinions, and nobody gets anywhere.Short posts are fine for jokes or hot takes. But if the goal is to actually talk hoops, nuance takes space. Cutting that down to a tweet-sized comment just guarantees we all miss the point.

>>151580102>tfw just got back from a comped Lakers game where I drank like $100 worth of beersI was saying during the game, I like Rui, he is a good roleplayer, as good as you can possibly ask for. LeMedia just shits on this guy and never gives him credit but he is underrated as fuck. From the start of the game im praising Rui and sure enough he shows up. The guy im with, long time Lakwrs Luka is him, im grateful to have seen him playing. All game im saying they are gonna break this motherfuckers back, they need to get him some help, I CANNOT believe this fucking scumbag is sitting on the bench with a fake injury collecting 50m.LeBron is a bitch and im rooting for this team without him. I will go to whatever his last crypto arena game is to boo him as much as possible and that is a PROMISE. Also Kobe is my favorite player. Fuck LeBron James.Meanwhile Dodgers got gaped lmao as im driving into the Lakers game knowingly missing the World Series for once im glad I missed it lmao
>>151580206Oh my god nigga stop narrativizing.>but you’re looking at the wrong target. Kuminga isn’t the problem. He’s developing fine, he’s just trapped in a system that doesn’t know what to do with him. You can’t expect him to be “enough” for a title run when the team around him collapses the second Curry sits. Youre fucking wrong and retarded. I already said Kuminga isnt even the worst rookie. But it doesnt fucking matter. Hes not good enough, also fuck off with this bullshit. Klay was taking 20 shots, and sometimes more shots than even Curry when he was 21 and Curry 23. The problem isnt just whether Kuminga can buy a bucket with Curry off the floor. He cant BUY A BUCKET WITH HIM ON THE FLOOR EITHER. Did you not understand my point by saying Kuminga is just a worse but more atheltic Jimmy? It means hes basically the 3rd best offensive player on the team and better than all the rookie bench warmers. But hes REDUNDANT and not good enough offensively or defensively for it to matter how much better he is than literal bums. Hes also our only literal valuable asset to trade. Colour me surprised if anybody takes fucking Buddy Hield, Moses Moody, and Podz. If they do, then sure we can keep Kuminga, but thats not realistic.Kuminga isnt stifled by the system, hes simply not that good of a player. Hes not efficient with middies, and picks up the ball too early, he doesnt read the court well, and while I respect the effort. I TRULY do. Effort isn't enough for a team like GSW. The problem with GSW for Kuminga isnt the system, its that its wayyyy too much pressure for a player as young as him, and of his caliber.Combine this fact with his redundancy, since we have "cant buy a bucket without fouls either" Jimmy, and its obvious that we simply cant keep him.Ive matured on my stance on Kuminga, yes hes not that good, but also this Golden State situation is unbelievably unfortunate for him. We expect too much of him because we cant expect anything from anyone else.

>>151580262You’re missing the core point. Nobody said Kuminga is a star. The argument is that he is not the reason this team looks cooked. Calling him redundant is shallow. Every player on this roster is misused and forced into awkward roles. His inefficiency is partly his fault, but it also comes from a stagnant offense that leaves him isolated with no movement or spacing. That is a system failure, not proof he lacks talent.The Klay comparison does not work. Klay grew up in a stable structure with a system that made sense and teammates who could space the floor. Kuminga is trying to find rhythm in chaos, surrounded by aging vets and limited creators. You can nitpick his habits, but you are ignoring context. Of course he looks rough when every possession turns into Curry bailing out bad offense.Yes, he makes mistakes. He stops his dribble early, misses reads, and his jumper is unreliable. That is development, not doom. The solution is time and better usage, not shipping him off for role players who add nothing long-term. Trading him for Hield or Moody-level assets just resets the same problem with worse upside.You said the pressure is too high for him. That proves the system is broken, not that he is worthless. The coaching staff punishes young players for learning while letting veterans play sloppy without consequence. That kills growth and confidence.Kuminga is not untouchable, but blaming him for the team’s decline is lazy. He is a symptom of poor roster balance and coaching inconsistency. Moving him does not fix the structure, it just hides the problem until Curry is gone and the team has nothing left.

You have to be trolling. Because you ignored what I said. You said that Kuminga isnt the problem when the team around him Collapses the momenr Kuminga sits.I made a point that Kuminga EVEN WITH CURRY ON THE FLOOR AND DIME PASSES FROM CURRY COULDNT GET A BUCKET WITHOUT FOULS. I then went on to explain that I already said from the get go that I respect Kumingas effort, and that hes better overall than all our roleplayers and bench players. But that despite all this, a number of factors including the fact that hes not GOOD ENOUGH makes it so that YES kuminga IS the problem, because he is the ONLY FIX to the problem, and then I listed all the reasons why. Such as redundancy which further highlights why hes not good enough. Then I used Klay as an example why hes not good enough.I need to seperate this into two posts to respond properly so this is all you get for now. DO NOT respond till im done. I will be YELLING IN TEXT

>>151580279>The Klay comparison does not work. Klay grew up in a stable structure with a system that made sense and teammates who could space the floor.SHUT THE FUCK UP. SHUT THE FUCK UP. You have NO IDEA what youre talking about. You either have not watched, or did no research on the warriors before 2015. And EVEN IN 2015.There was no "stable structured system". I fucking hate this SYSTEM BABY RETARDS SO FUCKING much. You dont know ball. You just speak narratives. There was NO SYSTEM before curry started peaking. Curry even in the 2015 to 19 warriors still handled the ball more than Draymond, there are stats to back this up, but he did this even MORE under mark jackson, and early steve kerr. It wasnt till 2016 where the screen action really took off. So SHUT THE FUCK UP. There was no advanced system, Curry (and Klay to lesser degrees) Simply made the system. In college Curry was running around the entire court. In 09,10,11,12 GSW Curry was still running around the entire court. Kerr didnt do anything speciql beyond defensive switching schemes. Klay was running around too. Klay is simply a better offensive player than Kuminga. Part of the reason Kuminga is such a flawed shooter. Is because he takes FOREVER to shoot. Klays pull up jumper was only second in release to Currys I think. Thats why you see that Kuminga and all the other rookies pump fake so much, because they suck at catching the ball and take forever before theyre comfortable shooting.

Larriors meme is done
>>151580364>>151580398You are arguing from emotion, not analysis. You keep repeating that Kuminga “isn’t good enough,” but you confuse performance within a flawed structure for proof of ability. Missing shots off Curry passes does not automatically mean a player lacks value. It shows that your offense depends on one player and collapses the second that player is pressured. Kuminga’s struggles expose the design, not his ceiling.Your “no system before Kerr” claim is revisionist. There was structure under Mark Jackson, even if limited. The core of the motion offense existed before it peaked. Saying Curry “made the system” ignores the tactical work behind his movement sets and off-ball usage. Kerr refined what was raw chaos into spacing and timing that optimized both Curry and Klay. Pretending that was all spontaneous is just false.Klay’s quicker release and off-ball instinct made him special, yes, but that does not make Kuminga useless. He has a different profile and is expected to fill a different lane. The issue is that the team still plays him like a spot-up wing instead of letting him attack downhill or in transition. When you force a slasher into a jump shooter role, you get bad numbers. That is not rocket science.You keep saying “Kuminga is the problem because he is the only fix.” That is circular logic. If the team’s only tradeable talent is a 23-year-old forward, then the roster is the problem, not the player. Moving him for marginal upgrades does nothing except delay the inevitable rebuild.So no, the argument that “there was no system” and that “Kuminga just sucks” does not hold up. You can shout about narratives all you want, but the tape and stats show that Golden State’s structure and spacing failures are real.
What if Chauncey Epstein's """himself""""?
It's too bad ireshart blew his brains out in the summer of 2025. I miss that lil guy. Him and bulgaria were destined to be together in Valhalla I suppose.
Due to tonight's performance i went back and watched the Luka/Kyrie '24 finals run and it was such a fun duo to watch. That whole mavs team felt like a perfectly oiled engine built for Luka like the Harden rockets. That team would've won this year or at least gotten to WCF
>>151580418ireGOD is back man
Kuminga is SIMPLY NOT THAT GOOD. I dont know how else I can drill this into your head. The "system helped him!!!" bullshit is a garbage excuse because Klay and Curry MADE the system. before that Curry just played like a generic point guard for the most part, and even in their first championship. The difference is curry simply started shooting way more instead of letting fucking Harrison Barnes and Klay take like 20 shots each (go look at the 2013 playoffs)Also Kuminga benefits from the system as well with currys gravity, and Jimmys connective passing. Kuminga simply isnt good enough. Jimmy gets a pass because of his defense, and iq + hes old so his offense can be excused somewhat. Kuminga is young, athletic and FUCKING SUCKS OFFENSIVELY, HES INEFFICIENT, WHILE BEING TURNOVER PRONE, A POOR DEFENDER FOR HIS SIZE, AND CANT SHOOT.Curry provided more than enough open looks but for all the reasons I mentioned, nobody could capitalize, fuck even jimmy couldnt. But i already explained Jimmy.Its like when i say this people think im shitting on Kuminga instead of being realistic, I havent even called him Kumingtard once this post because im being serious and genuinely respect his effort rebounding and such.But he is not enough, and he shouldnt have ti be enough, but it doesnt matter, because nobody else is good enough to expect anything from, and besides, he wants to be a star. Its that simple.Trade this nigga for Malik Monk. Podz, Moody, and Hield arent suddenly going to get better, and nobody wants them. If somebody did, id trade them before Kuminga. Especially because now that we have will richard we dont need podz, combine this with his redundancy to Jimmy, and I am simply correct.
>>151580418It's crazy how all the major schizos disappeared at the same time
>>151580427Don't ruin my headcanon. He's gone to a better place (hell)
>>151580420hate fupa but that team was kino
>>151580432You keep mistaking volume and emotion for evidence. Saying “he’s not that good” over and over does not make it true. Yes, Kuminga is inefficient and turnover prone, but that is not rare for young players forced into heavy minutes on a veteran team with no spacing. You treat development struggles like permanent traits. That is lazy analysis.Klay and Curry did not magically “create” the system out of thin air. They flourished inside structure that finally maximized their off-ball movement and spacing. That is coaching and design. Pretending it was all raw instinct is historical fiction. The same concept applies to Kuminga: he needs defined usage, not “go figure it out while Curry gets doubled.”You want him traded for Malik Monk? That is desperation disguised as logic. Monk is a streaky scorer who brings zero defensive stability. Swapping a 23-year-old forward for a bench microwave guard just shrinks the timeline even more. That is the type of panic move that keeps a franchise stuck.Calling him “redundant” ignores the fact that his profile is one of the few things this roster lacks long-term. He is not a polished shooter, but he gets downhill, attacks the rim, and rebounds. That is value. His problem is role clarity, not raw ability. You cannot expect consistent output when his minutes and touches change nightly.Your frustration makes sense, but you are aiming it at the wrong target. Kuminga is flawed, not hopeless. The roster around him is stagnant, the system outdated, and the development structure nonexistent. Trade him if you want short-term noise, but do not pretend it fixes anything. It just guarantees more of the same mediocrity you are complaining about.

>>151580414>It shows that your offense depends on one player and collapses the second that player is pressured.Is this nigga retarded? You know that Golden States offense has ALWAYS depended on Curry right? Go watch the 2015 finals again, go watch the 2019 finals again, go watch the 2016 playoffs again. If the warriors arent facing a garbage team like 2016 portland and houston. They cannot do anything without Curry. And Curry was injured the entire playoffs. I watched an entire game 6, where with Curry off the court the warriors could literally not move the ball around the court to get anybody open. And it wasnt until curry had gotten Klay hot with his gravity that Curry could be off the floor and Klay get free catch and shoot opportunity, mostly in transition, as theres no need to create space as much in transition.The difference between those teams, and 2020 beyond, is that they had Klay. Who at the very least could take as many shots as curry and mostly be trusted to make them. That isnt a "strong offense" theres no offensive scheme or gameplan. It just relies on Curry and Klay creating space.Poole already proved be could serve that role (until 2023...) Kuminga cannot. Because his space for shooting is much more limited so even if you create space for him, he cant take advantage aswell. Look, even Iguadola, an old washed Iggy (im talking about the 2019 finals where he held his own and took advantage of currys gravity when Klay got injured game 6) was a better shooter inside and outside than Kuminga, and nobody in their right mind would call iggy an offense.

>>151580414>The issue is that the team still plays him like a spot-up wing instead of letting him attack downhill or in transition. When you force a slasher into a jump shooter role, you get bad numbers. That is not rocket science.Is this AI? Did we watch the same game? Kuminga attempted TWO 3s and went to the line 7 times. Nigga nobody was forcing him to be a jump shooter, and he didnt play like a jump shooter. He got downhill, he just wasnt good enough to finish or take enough shots (without getting fouled so that its just 1 or 2 shots instead of a reliable 2 shots) that it mattered.
>>151580490You keep acting like repeating “the offense has always relied on Curry” somehow makes your point. No one disagreed with that. The issue is that the dependency has gotten worse because every other piece has regressed or been misused. Back then, at least there were players who could function inside that gravity. Klay, Iggy, Livingston, even Barbosa could convert motion into points. Now you have a rotation of guys who freeze up the second the ball hits their hands.You say “there was never a system” like that proves anything. The early Warriors still had structure. The motion offense, the spacing, the read-and-react principles, those were deliberate designs. It was not just Curry running around and Klay chucking. You can watch film and see the difference between controlled chaos and what happens now. Pretending the entire dynasty was just two guys shooting over defenders is ignorant.Kuminga is not Klay. No one said he is. But that comparison is pointless because they are entirely different players. Klay lived on movement and elite shooting. Kuminga is a slasher and transition scorer. You keep calling him bad because he does not replicate a Hall of Fame shooter’s skill set. That is nonsense. Of course he looks limited when you stick him in Klay’s role and expect the same output.And stop with the Iggy revisionism. He hit open shots because the system created rhythm and spacing, not because he was some offensive weapon. If you throw Kuminga into that environment, with those teammates and that chemistry, he would look a lot better than he does now. You think you are proving he sucks, but all you are doing is describing how far the Warriors have fallen from competent roster building.So no, calling everyone “retarded” and spamming finals references does not make your take stronger. It just shows you have nothing left but nostalgia and frustration.

>>151580572How do you know this?
>>151580460>I think the Klay/Kuminga comparison makes no sense because Klay is an exceptional, all time great shooterI think Klay benefited from some of the best spacing ever right out of the gate. I dont think he was a bad shooter but even Klay doesnt put himself number 2 in best shooters and thats not because hes humble, we know Klay can have an ego. Its because hes had a simpler job than most shooters like Reggie Miller who had to carry an entire offense while basically being a better Klay offensively (Better offball, cutter, clutch etc)The point im making though is that. You dont need to be an "all time great shooter" to fill a role. When you narrativize with titles like this, it skews how basketball is.The 94 and 95 Houston Rockets led the league in 3 pointers taken and made, and you cant name any of those bum roleplayers that did so.Then theres somebody like JJ Reddick who was a sniper.Kuminga just needs to be really GOOD at something whether defense or offense, to carry the load that is expected of him.
>>151580449>Trade him if you want short-term noise, but do not pretend it fixes anything. It just guarantees more of the same mediocrity you are complaining about.I'm honestly done taking you seriously as you just ignore all my points to give the most surface level "But Kuminga is athletic doe" even when I literally agree with all your points, which logically should mean. If I agree with everything youre saying, and still think otherwise to what you think, then THERE MUST BE SOME OTHER UNDERLYING OR HOLISTIC REASON AS TO WHY THAT YOURE NOT ENGAGING WITH.Anyway, the simple defeater this entire conversation is simple: Is it easier to trade kuminga for a better asset? Or to somehow suddenly improve every single other rookie on the team to be better than Kuminga?Youre a fucking retard.Also if you havent noticed, your retarded logic would be JUST as "valid" to justify not trading Kuminga for Caruso, or Siakam when the offers were available. Thats how empty and hollow your actual point is, it doesnt engage with reality, it seeks soley to justify and rationalize its own proposition.
