Talked to my sister today.She met and took a pic with Adam Silver and the Larry O'Brien trophy last week.I didn't know the Larry O'Brien had the team names written on it, but she assured me it does. Also, she thought Adam was an ex ball player when he first entered the room, kekApparently, he's tall.

>>152061218Shit, not even close...
What did the Wolves mean by this?
nick nurse is such a fag. STOP CALLING TIMEOUTS
>>152061120Have you seen who else is on the Kings
>>152061374clearly based on today's game the best player is sabonis
How tf you losing to the Spurs without Wemby or Harper?
>down to the wire against a bucks team without GiannisJesus Christ.
>>152061461idk, but I find it funny that Risacher has the best +/- even though he's done nothing but brick all night.
>>152060244not my fault, I have never posted anything positive about the hawks. trae is cancer
The Spurs legitimately have a lot of depth.
My nigga NAW has 35 points
sixers game is kino
OT. Let's go Sixers!!!
>>152061472The sixers are not good. dump embiid and pg immediately
honestly rollins bucks are so much better to watch than run and dunk man i dont understand how this kid was overlooked this long
>Fatlanta Hauktuas
>cooper flagg isn't even the best rookie from duke
>>152061461Keldon event. How tf did the Hauktuas give up 25 points to an 6'6" power forward with a shaky jumper?
wait a minutei thought bucks were elite?
>>152061927khaman maluch has completely disappeared
Hell yeah, Sixers!54 from Maxey.
I mean the bucks are shit lmao, but still, my warrfruads sure could use a ryan rollins!
>>152059091Ended up playing 46.
>>152062065OKC’s defense without their second best player is legendaurc
>>152060718I just checked that google has added minutes too, putting in on the furthest left columnn as well. What they need to put in the Field Goal Attempts. Minutes mean nothing to me.
Is the league just way too talented these days or are the kings purposely selling? They got blown out by the worst grizzlies team in years that’s also missing Morant, JJ, Ty Jerome, Scotty popped jr They didn’t just lose. They’ve got blown out.They are tied for their worst record start in franchise history. Last time they started this bad was 1990
Ant-cels, what happened to being the face of the league?
Can't believe my Hawks had the #1 pick and they picked Zachary Risacher with it.
incredibly dead thread tonight
>>152062113Why would the Kings sucking (or anytime for that matter) equate to a higher level of talent league wide? I'm not arguing the merits of the league being less talented or more talented. But just because one team sucks ass does not mean an exponential growth in talent on other teams. It just means that particular team sucks ass.
clops are 4-11? Am I reading that right?
>>152062065Warriors being 6th in defensive rating is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life. Like the one number of all the numbers so far this year that most exemplifies how dogshit and disconnected from reality numbers can be, makes it clear that whoever charted that stat has never watched a warriors game in their life if they think the warriors are top 6 defensively. They were like a 11 or 12 like two days ago, if you think a BACKCOURT OF Gui Santos and Quinten Post, and Traycr Jackson Davis, and a front court full of elite POA such as Moody, Podz and Fucking Buddy Hield is such a difference maker that the warriors should jump to 6th net rated offense, then you are so fucking delusional you should be shot.
Tyrese Maxey is better than your favorite player.
>>152062121For Americans Ant is more marketable than Cade, and more charismatic than Maxey (also more playoff success), he'll be fine but skillwise he's not close to the top four
>>152062121Same thing that happened to ja. You need to win big to be the face, whether MVP or a ring
>>152061286ANT dresses like a real oneRespect
>>152062201He's a ticking timebomb. All those minutes are gonna catch up to him at some point
>>152062199defensive rating doesn't reflect reality after less than 15 games.
>>152062264I dont even understand how its that high in the first place, small sample size or not, wtf is the defensive rating "seeing" because it clearly doesnt watch basketball games
Westbrook fans will tell you that he's a top 5 point guard of all time yet he hasn't played any meaningful basketball in 12 years. He's officially a cat that you can't win with
>>152062545Defensive rating is just points given up normalized to 100 possessions. If you play a bunch of shitty teams you'll have a good defensive rating even if your defense sucks.
>>152062135shit product
>>152062584Last year Westbrook took his team to 7 against the eventual champs
>>152062648He was on a vet min and coming off the bench and the Nugget's still didn't want him back. He's on a non-guaranteed vet min on the Kings right now and will probably be used as salary filler in a trade deadline move before retiring
>>152062135Only like 4 games, and half of these teams are injured. No Ja; No Giannis, no Wemby , no Trae, No Paola Banchero, and No Kawhi.Also, no contenders played
>>152062584KD might've won with Westbrook if he stayed
>>152059030No one wants Levine lol
being a sixers fan is an ever swinging pendulum of true hopium and ballbusting existential despair
>>152059226It's been over for like five years, that bald faggot Ballmer just refused to admit it and tripled down on Kawhi's useless ass
>>152063188At the time of his signing he was one of 4 championship caliber first options in the league (Kawhi, Steph, Lebron and KD). The only reason the Clippers aren't rebuilding now is because Ballmer built Intuit dome and he can't have it's first year of opening be completely empty.
Tyrese GOATey
>>152058968fuck is going on in toronto
>>152063398Why is the league fining the 76er's for blatantly load managing Embiid? He's played 6 games so far. He's not THAT washed
>>152062634this kinda how ginobili got so overrated. he played against a lot of bench players.
>>152062121They don't like it when he hired Katt Williams
>>152064125interesting ive never heard this perspective before, but it COULD make sense
where can i find offensive, and defensive and net rating adjusted for opponent quality?
>>15205896899% sure this ref is betting on games
>>152062262that's a later problem, let's just enjoy right now.
I model my personal life around james harden.
look at 1st and 2nd for minutes per game
The kings need to kill themselves. This is a stain on westgods legacy
last time westGOD had sabonis he average a trip dub and wonMVP
>>152064326yo this nigga an intelligent...
Schrooder shot 0 for 8 get this slave back to fiba
Lauri Elias Markkannen
>>152063543>He's not THAT washedyes he is
>>152064800He would've been perfect on the Warriors. Shame they sold out for Jimmy.
>>152064800Ainge is just waiting for a team desperate enough to give up a haul of picks to unload him. Ainge is a fleece master
Carry the hell on...
The Sacramento kings need to be punished. I propose the public execution of their owner
I went to r/NBA and everyone knew you…
>>152065570>Larriors could've drafted Melo and traded for Lauri but they wanted to keep Podz and take on a project (lol) and now they're shucking for Melo and offering KumingaWarrior will still be called a top tier managed and smart organization anyway because the narrative is more important than the fact that they lucked their way into an entire relevant franchise.
>>152065833Lol this fool. Reaves can have any woman on his BWC that he wants.
>>152065833based
Who says no?
>>152065067>gaymond vetoed the tradeso he has sex tapes of kerr and the GM
>>152064326definitely something to consider
>>152065833#believeallwomen
>>152066207>>152065124>>152065067Plz stop. My pookie Lauri is staying in Utah and winning the franchise it’s first ring
>>152065833Avalon is a banger song
>>152066816>Niederhauser
Once again I would like to thank Mike muscala, because if it was not for his efforts in the LeMickey bubble, the 76ers would never have had to pick that they took Tyrese Maxey with.
>>152065067In hindsight...
Since its obvious that the league is trying to force a championship for Luka and his Lakers like how the MLB did for Shohei, is there any reason to get invested at all this season?
>russ and harden break up the fastest scoring duo in nba history after one season>proceeds to be put in nba purgatory deserved
>>152067520You could watch all the matches from teams you enjoy that are not against the Lakers till April?I swear, sometimes I think you people do not actually enjoy watching basketball itself, but the boxscore after the match
>>152067520>Stafford won his first year in LA>Ohtani immediately won two in a row since joining the Dodgers>LeBron won his second year in LATick tock, Luka
>>152065547Jeet on jeet crimes...
should eurostep be made illegal again?
OKC is on pace to beat the warriors record
>>152067923who cares
>>152064236This the ref that ejected Luka after he was on track to spank OKC for the secobd time in a back to back and recently helped the Knicks beat the Mavs, right?
at least the clippies have a guy named yanic konan niederhäuser; i think that's pretty cool
>>152067965You should care. As a fan of Nba, a 15-1 start should impress you. Most dominant opening of all time. And considering their next 10, they’ll probably end up 25-1
>>152067994It's not impressive because their roster is just better than everyone else's just like the warriors. They're not playing better than anyone else. They just lucked into fleecing a whale moronic owner.
>>152068003After the failure that was Kd/Russ/Harden, okc deserves this. They played their cards right. Besides, every dominant team in sports history had a stacked roster. That shouldn’t be a point of criticism.
>>152068003>They're not playing better, they're just betterMake it make sense
>>152067994My JAZZ WILL WIN TONIGHT. JAZZ FANS LOVE LAURI POOKIE MARKIE
>>152067994They're boring to watch. As an NBA fan I haven't watched any thunder game this season. I rather watch the mavs, jazz, hornets and pelicans than the thunder
>>152068031Whats with the swaps added on lol
>>152068003>They're not playing better than anyone elseThey definitely are. They're managing to win games with one of the most injured rosters in the NBA, no matter what starters are out>They just lucked into fleecing a whale moronic owner.More like they developed 4+ starter caliber players from second round picks and undrafted players.
>>152068023they were gifted three of the best players of the decade, proceeded to blow it all, and they deserve this? fuck off okc deserves nothing. they dont even deserve a team.
>>152068044That shithole is a flyover state, last in education and has the worst fanbase in sports right now. They definitely deserve to be moved to Vegas, it's a fake team anyway
Lamelo wants out of Charlotte because he knows it's Knueppels team now
>>152068038Just an option. Ainge won’t do that
>>152068029People like him just have irrational hatred towards dynasties. OKC is most likely going back to back and people are gonna sit here and say “they just got lucky” even though they developed all this talent. SGA wasn’t always this good. The OKC system gave him the space to grow. Same with Chet and Jalen. This is a masterclass of development
>>152068068Why won’t Boston be a dynasty
>>152068073Because Curry shut them down in 22. Then Tatum got injured.
>>152068073
>>152067994the jazz, wolves and suns games are nba cup games, and they are .500 in the nba cup this season; so the lights might be too bright for them
>>152068203KEK
Kings with 5 former all stars are out tanking the Nets. Impressive
Big game tonight in the west
The trade deadline doesn't prevent you from trading purely draft picks and cash, right? I remember a few playoff teams trading picks while they were still playing.Also the deadline is opened again once you get eliminated, right?
>>152068068>SGA wasn’t always this goodYes.He was.That is major clopper cope.
>Josh Giddey>Coby White>Isaac Okoro>Matas Buzelis>Nikola Vucevic>Ayo Dosunmu>Jalen Smith>Zach Collins>Kevin Huerter>Tre Jones>Patrick Williams>Julian Phillips>Dalen Terry>Noa Essengue1) Realistically, who stops this team? 2) Is Giddey-to-the-Bullies the new iteration of Halliburton-to-the-Pacers in which a young, budding superstar PG gets traded to a new team and a fun, young squad emerges around him?3) Is the Giddey-Buzelis 1-2 punch, PG-PF pairing going to be the next Stockton-Malone?
Trade Lauri to the pistons
>>152068616Pistons need another ball handler/shot creator, not Lauri
>>152068628They also need a good floor spacer who can shoot threes at a top level. Lauri is your guy. Pistons have enough dudes who can create their own shots. Certainly much better than Tobias Harris, Lauri that is
sabonis and morant were both out last night it seems
>>152068638They do need spacing that’s true, but they’re too reliant on Cade for all of their offensive creation right now, Lauri doesn’t really solve that he just makes them more efficient
>>152068641Two PRA merchants with no trade value
>>152068666I agree but you might as well replace Tobias with an elite version of himself who’s younger. Who would they even trade for that is a shot creator? Excellent digits.
>>152066012>trading an all-star PG for a no-jumper PG with a torn AchillesNot even Ted Stepien would be moronic enough to approve this.
>>152068579Tell me how great he was on the clippers.
We got Queen bro, we’re good
>>152068728>>152068579>>152068068You retards can't read each other's posts. The talent was always there for him, but it's probably safe to say nobody knew for sure he was going to be an MVP-caliber player.
>>152068685Yeah I mean he’d definitely be an upgrade on Harris, but I just don’t think it’d be smart to drain all of their assets on him when it probably doesn’t make them real contenders. As for other trade targets idk desu, it’d depends on who’s available. I’d imagine a lot will be available for what Ainge will ask for for Markkanen
is aaron gordon playing tonight?
#hustle
>>152068964I know the kings are a shitter organization but are things really so grim that they've all but given up on the season already? Surely some of these niggas got new contracts to play for?
>>152064326Imagine taking lawncare advice from a frog.
>>152069042Nah, let him cook
>>152068964NBA gonna reward this trash organization with a top pick next year
>>152064326Lazy people and/or "environmental" frauds are always looking for ways to get out of workYes, leaves are great for lots of reasons to leave in the yard, they break down into nutrients and make a habitat for insects, etc.Until spring comes and you have giant piles of slushy leaves and/or huge dead spots in your lawn from lack of sunlightThe correct answer, as always, is moderation. Rake most of your leaves, but leave enough that your mower can run over, then cut the grass to break the leaves downOr just leave a few leaves here and there if it's too late in the season to cutt. boomer who worked in landscaping
>>152069018They don't defend and now they're without sabonis for a month and have Denver up next lol
>>152069191The sad part is that even if they got a good player they would eventually move him for bellow market value anyways. See Cousins, Halliburton, Fox, etc.
>>152069220boomer dropped a truth nuke on us and no one has the decency to (You) him

has lebron ever been in an anime or manga?
>>152070071>>152070082Wemby is basically Gobert + an offensive bag. He MIGHT not be more valuable than Booker right now but he easily clears everyone else

>>152070358Bruh, Gobert would be an MVP contender NBA if he had anything resembling Wembanyama's or Randle's offensive skills. Embied WAS an MVP contender with comparable abilities.
Do nba players drink coffee
>>152065833NPC’s having a melty over the GOAT taking your girl? I’d take that as a badge of honor.
>>152070105isn't it funny how everyone agrees that jokic is the #1 best player in the nba, he had a great season last season, yet still people overwhelmingly voted sga for mvp
>>152070521Jokic has become so good hes held to a standard where dropping great statlines barely gets him a nod. Most stars would get exclusive tv segments for a single 29-13-11 game. Thats Jokic season averages. On 64% fg

>>152070586wembgod is clear on defence but defence is a meme and shouldnt matter in mvp
>>152070608ja is the great black hope he was never good
>>152070608all of his naysayers saw this coming. Dude was always immature and you could already see he wasn't really adding to his game. Toss in some predictable injuries and here we are
>>152070608>explosive athletic player is constantly getting injuredno one could have seen this coming
>>152070620MVP is a meme and Defense is the only reason Shaivonte is on the same tier as Jokic.

>>152070957Praying to every deity humanity knows for a comeback szn...
how come "draymond vetoed the trade for lauri" is just treated like a normal thing that happensthat's totally insane that a literal roleplayer has that much control over your franchise
>>152071211Draymond protecting his position. He doesn't need another PF who can play small ball Center making him redundant.
this is insane.
>>152071263People missed a lot of shots back in the day. Defense was OP. Just look at Russell's FG%
Kon Kneuppal is the rich man Chris Mullins but probably closer to a player like Paul Pierce
>>152070608>He was supposed to be the next d roseThat's the problem... he is the new Derrick Rose
>>152071329Say it aint so...not like this...
>>152070608>athlete babby>smol PG>can't shoot>attitude and off the court issuesHe's literally Rose and Iverson doing the fusion dance and speedran their careers. There's so many short guard scorers in the league that the league will just pass you by in an instant if you even sniff being mid. It's becoming harder and harder to be a sub 6'3 guard in the league.
>>152071325Harper will get it in the end. You'll see.

On the bright side he'll probably join the dunk contest this year to revive his image now that they league thinks that he's basically John Wall.
>>152071665Huge praise unironically
>>152071626Did you boil all that in 1 pot and then dump it onto a plate? People really eat slop like this?
>>152068487is AG still out?

>>152071695>Did you boil all that in 1 pot and then dump it onto a plate?No.>People really eat slop like this?This is the opposite of slop. Let’s see your meal, leafbro.
>>152071263they didn't have the 3 second rule for defenders back then
Is it still worth watching the Bulls?
>>152071774I'm not a meal poster. I never understood the appeal of taking pictures of my food to post on the internet.
>>152071763A kino season ending is any in which the Lakers loose, preferably in embarrassing fashion.
my nuggers better win this game mayne or else they frauds
>>152071763Lakers are the leagues darling. They worked out a deal with the Mavs to trade Luka for AD and the first pick in the draft. I want the Lakers to lose in the first round even though it's clear that the fix is in and they'll atleast make the WCF if not the finals. Watch the Lakers win the championship and Lebron "passes the torch" to Luka before retiring.
>>152070521Not really. Why do people still not understand that MVP is a team award?
>>152071804I’m going to post all my meals like mealanon.
Whys brunson not getting any attention
>>152071878He's a fraud bitch
>>152071878He's a ball hog and he choked in last years playoffs.
>>152070521he won the mvp after the nuggets/thunder seriesthe mvp was 100% going to whoever won because the league was tired of the mvp not winning the rang
We are in the SGA/OKC dynasty era, not the Jokic era. Jokic won't/shouldn't win another MVP ever again
>>152071851probably unironically the most deserving mvps of all time that isnt 2016 steph, 96 Jorgod, and...thats about it. Impact is transcendent. Numbers are arbitrary.
>>152071792Why not? Curry watches that from his corner chair all the time.
>>152072026Lol
I was sitting on the train today and the guy in front of me sneezed and spit landed on my face
16-1 today
Raptors NBA cope game tonight! Will they stay undefeated?
>>152070521Voter fatigue exists even though it shouldn't. The year he lost to Embiitch was the year that the media decided he would receive no more awards
>>152072026Lmao
>>152072145Why'd they give him the award the next year then?
Actual EPM got updated today. Jokic and SGA are heads and shoulders above the rest, MVP race will come down to them again
>2020 Lakers muh dynasty>2021 Bucks muh dynasty>2023 Nuggets muh dynasty>2024 Celtics muh dynasty>2025 Thunder muh dynasty
The east is so shit this year that the Raptors actually have a small chance of following the blue jays and getting a cheeky finals appearance this season
>>152071878Knicks aren't doing as good as they should considering the state of the eastern conference. I'm afraid the Knicks were Hart babbies last season.
>>152072283>skipped 2022
I like the way Mario Saint-Supèry plays he looks like he could be a Nash type of player
Theres literally no reason for eastern conference "contenders" to win less than 60 games. Especially the cavs and knicks should reach that number easily, conference is free as fuck this year
winter is coming

>hit most of my threes in shoot around>hit most of them in 1v1 >miss them all during 3v3Fuck this bullshit. I’m supposed to be a shooter and I’m being left open. I fucking hate being stuck in the paint guarding other big men or being forced to rim run vs someone whos 250 pounds. I’m getting private training
>>152072497u soft boi
Fucking hell i took a look at the teams the top eastern teams have beaten to get their records, its almost all trash squads. Not a single team that has consistently beaten western playoff teams. The pistons got a win over the rockets at least.
>>152072434NOOOOO PELINKA!!!

>>152072507I’m 6’4 208 and hated being a post up / slasher. It’s why I learned how to shoot. Getting better at it, just need to find consistency
>>152072434Baseball execs who can just sign blank checks to build a roster without having to worry about salary caps or managing draft picks should have nothing to do with NBA. New owners shouldn't even make any moves their first season and should just freeze the roster and sit and learn. Seems like half the contending teams are just trade raping a new owner.
>>152072283OKC was only able to beat Denver in the yoffs because AG was injured and same goes for Indy losing Hali. It was a hospital ring. They did the same regular season try hard faggotry last year that they're doing this season and they'll still go into the postseason incapable of prevailing over healthy opponents
>>152072548>just need to find consistencyYou ain't learned to shoot yet
Centerbowl is gonna be good

>>152072910WNBA just need to look good, post thirst traps on IG and make layups and they won't be so hated. When those dykes start saying "we're as good as NBA players!" they always whip out the "they're insecure and irrelevant!" card when they get smacked back down to reality.

>>152072587Thunder were really bad in the post season last year. We are talking about a team that won almost 70 games in the regular season but had two series that ended up going to 7 games against teams that barely won 50 games. Especially the Nuggets series, what the actual fuck happened there. This team had no coach, no bench, no rest whatsoever and instead of sweeping them easily they were actually down 2-1 at one point.I was surprised that Presti didn't do anything in the offseason to fix this. It was so obvious how much this team struggled, especially on the road and he did absolutely nothing in the offseason other than give ridiculous undeserving contracts.
>>152073513ruh roh raggy...
>>152073515people try to forget about and invalidate the 2016 warriors whenever it cant be used in q narrative to prop up lebum.Ive seen people say 70+ wins in this league from OKC would be more impressive because the league is more "talented"
>>152065833wow did reaves just get cooler?
>>152073603>This team had no coachIt had David Adelman, their offensive coach since 2019, who fixed Malone's rotations>no benchWestbrook, Watson, and Strawther all contributed to wins>no rest whatsoeverIt was the second roundThunder struggled because their second option tore his wrist and Daignault + the team were inexperienced. They played fine on the road outside of game 3s, that were a scheduling issue more than anything (the team plane would fly out a 11 PM at night)>ridiculous undeserving contracts.Chet is playing like an All-star and Jdub and Shai got their market value.

Ohayou /nba/Don't forget to watch two games on prime
LET'S GO PACERS
knickerbockers
>>152071849Kino if true
Another ankle snatched by the NBA gods
>>152073709This is all a bunch of cope and straight up lies. Adelman had no experience as a headcoach before. Westbrook, Watson and Strawther is probably the weakest most pathetic bench in the history of playoff teams and admitting that they contributed to wins makes the Thunder look even more weak as a playoff team. They also had no rest because they were playing the last few regular season games with all the starters to avoid the play-in, then had a 7 game series with the Clippers and after 2 days had to play against OKC who was sitting for like a week. And they won that first game because Chet who is playing like an All-Star in the regular season this year choked his ass off in that game and was mid throughout the whole playoffsYou are right that they struggled because they were inexperienced and that's why Presti should have brought more veterans instead of continuing to rely on just young players. They got really lucky last year, especially with that Luka trade. Mavs would have beaten them again if they were healthy

>>152073981just have to wait for nuggets rockets
Is the PA announcer for the Heat still the same as the guy years ago who would yell "HASAAAAAN WHITESIDDDEEE"? He sounded like a super smash brothers voiceover
Fuck Chris Paul
>>152073898>Adelman had no experience as a headcoach beforeIrrelevant. He was still the guy in charge of Malone's offensive schemes, and was also the guy that would take over whenver Malone would crash out and get kicked from games. >Westbrook, Watson and Strawther is probably the weakest most pathetic bench in the history of playoff teams and admitting that they contributed to wins makes the Thunder look even more weak as a playoff team.That's just your opinion. Many teams would kill for a guy that can come in and give you a 15+ points off the bench, against the best defense in modern NBA history. I've never seen a team's fans talk down about their own players to prop up one guy as much as Nugget fans do, it's absolutely pathetic>They also had no rest because they were playing the last few regular season games with all the starters to avoid the play-in,They had 6 games in between that, it's irrelevant.>And they won that first game because Chet who is playing like an All-Star in the regular season this year choked his ass off in that game and was mid throughout the whole playoffsAlmost like he broke his hip, was out for half the season, and was unable to recondition or build his muscle back up? And you can only say he was mid-offensively, he was the best rim protector all throughout the playoffs and especially the finals even when his shot wasn't falling>You are right that they struggled because they were inexperienced and that's why Presti should have brought more veterans instead of continuing to rely on just young players.Young players get older and become vets as they play more. You can already see how much they've improved this season, with Shai becoming a better, more willing, passer, Chet having worked on his offensive game and 2 man game with Hartenstein, Isaiah Joe working on his defense to not be a weak link and unplayable in the playoffs, and Cason Wallace taking the leap to become the best stealer in the NBA.
>>152073996probably. its the same guy since leheat days
Pacers dabbing on the cavalqueers
Are Cavs the most soulless team in the NBA? These niggas really don't believe in eachother. Is it Mitchell's leadership?
The Nets Israelite cooking the Cs.
>>152074171Russian. The Israelite doesn't play
>>152074171nah all the jews have been sent down to Gleague
>>152074193Forgot about Wolf
>>152074155they'd be a G league team without Mitchell so yeah
>>152074225They were exactly the same before and after trading all their picks for Bitchell.
Jay Huff is a big guy
The Pacers would be in the playoff hunt if they didn't cut Air McClung.
>>152074244He averages 40 a game yet no team wants to give him a chance. He should just go to the euroleague at this point
I'm going to be pissed when the Wizards get the 5th pick again after going 1-81
>>152074058Bro you can't say that they have improved when it's fucking November. Like who the fuck cares what happens now, Cavs were 15-0 in November last year, it literally doesn't matter. We are talking about the playoffs here, completely different than some random games in the regular season. You absolutely need veterans that can handle the pressure and not a bunch of 22 year olds that are showing imrpovement in NovemberLook all i said in my original post was that Presti needed to do something for how weak the team looked in the playoffs compared to the regular season but he didn't. You can't take away the ring, they will always have it. But instead of doing anything they can to build a dynasty they have to hurry now because the rookie contracts are about to end and everyone will want to get paid. Even those that are showing improvement in November but not in May
>>152073603>I was surprised that Presti didn't do anything in the offseason to fix this.thunder are still a young team and last year was their first deep playoff run. pretty reasonable to assume they get better this year.
>>152062121Terminal case of believing his own hype
>>152073733I am quickly growing tired of KAT.
The Nets are unbelievably bad. They don't have a single promising young player, let alone a good player.
>>152062121That shit died when Kyrie cooked his ass in the WCF. He is not him. 0 memorable games or heroic performances. Lots of disappearing in big moments.
>>152070071Where Giddey?
>>152074341I can buy Egor being a good player in the near future but they just drafted like retards this year. Its fine because they can continue like this for 2 years and its fine with how many picks they have but at some point, they will need to target one potential star player instead of shooting for the fences on role players
Pacers have a lot of potential even with Hali out. once they get Nesmith back and assuming they keep everyone else healthy, they could be pretty decent
>>152074372they are going to play themselves out of a top 5 pick because the ownership doesn't allow tanking
>>152074303Germbro, rate my meal from earlier today: >>152071626
Tyrese Haliburton dressed like a normal human being on the bench. Rare for an NBA playerAlso, he travelled with the team. Double rare for an NBA player..
>>152074362
>>152074303Other teams will be better too, especially the ones that cooked in the offseason. I guess they can pray half the teams are injured again or a big trade happens that fucks up competely everyone but I wouldn't count on thatTime is ticking for them now though. Soon enough they will have to pay 170 million dollars for just 3 players which basically means bye Caruso and bye Hartenstein if they want to have a deep bench
>>152074395mr rogers ass nigga
>>152074385i don't think they necessarily need a top 5 pick though, they just need Hali to get healthy and invest in a center who can competently play both ways
heat v bulls kino
>>152074429Based
its unbelievable how much mathurin carries and elevates this pacers offense, explains how they were able to go to OT against OKC early in the season.also just learned that he was literally born 9 days after i was and hes canadian toocrazy world we live in
>>152074446he is the free throw merchant final boss
>>152074446Are you a baller like him as well?
>>152074465no, i was obsessed with soccer growing up, i actually didnt like basketball much for some reason
>>152074477>soccerfootball
>>152074293OKC is not the Cavs. OKC finished 68-14 last season, and are now on pace to do even better being the second most injured team in the NBA, and having their second option play 0 minutes so far. I really just don't understand what you think vets will add to this team that they don't already have. Caruso already gives them the locker room presence, they don't get raddled under pressure, and they're not gonna be facing first time experiences the same way they did last year going to their first 7 game series, WCF, and finals.
Queta caught a body
>Cooper is bust>B-but my bawb>muh bawb is a bustHe's literally on pace to be a superstar in this league, and that's only if you know ball
I mean why is a player like Bennet Stiritz getting any kind of draft buzz when a 2 win team doesn't even want someone like Mac McClurg?
>>152074527only because he's playing with a shit team. put him in a proper system and he fails because his heliocentric style of playing just does not fly anymore in a league where defense schemes have become used to that. all the cooper fagg hype is purely because he is white. his game has no place in the current state of the nba
Lakers become the 3 seed today no matter what baka
>>152074395Hali always travels with the team
>>152060557>a bag of clipsFTFY
I, for one, welcome the new Los Angeles Lakdoyers
>>152074519Only like 3 teams of the ones that OKC have played against are over .500 right now kek. They have beaten the Kangz 3 times and the Pelicants twice and tonight they are gonna play against the JizzAnyway, I guess we will see what happens as the season goes on. Every year there are injuries too so it doesn't even matter what we think now for the playoffs. But yes, I think veterans are very important for the playoffs. Caruso carried the team last year in the post season and he doesn't even have a lot of experience.
I miss old school basketball
I'm waiting for the Russian spy to pop off one game and then everyone will be saying that he's better than Flagg because he can play point at 6'8

>>152075140People tried to convince us they would be a contender even before they got Flagg
I just remembered the nuggets drafted Donovan mitchell, and then traded him away. They fucked that up. Shouldve traded murray away. Jokic + Mitchell is way better than Jokic and Murray
>>152075162bro, they're going up against the nuggers.easy pickings for themno way they're losing, lmao
>>152075182someone said they drafted him because they'd always wanted to trade him anywayhonestly i don't get the idea of drafting someone just to immediately be a trade asset
>>152075200yea its stupid. Now I cant help but think the nuggets would have 2 rings by now if they kept mitchell instead of murray
>>152075200nuggets are a trash franchise who got lucky with a 2nd round pick
rudy gobert was also drafted by nuggets btw
>>152075200You trade the pick but because it's draft night you still go through the motion of picking for the team that traded the pick to.
teams pick the guy the other team wants in draft day trades. There's no reason to even think about "what could have been" because if said team didn't even want the guy they trades, hence the trade in the first place. This place has become super ignorant and casual
This nigga Claxton retarded for real
>>152075258it's something like nuggets drafted mitchell only because jazz wanted him and they're ready to give up their pick + trey lyles for him.hindsight is funny though
>>152075158I don't know it just doesn't look like something a 25 year old would wear. I don't think it looks bad though. Better than what a certain 40 year old is usually wearing while he is sitting on the bench
>>152075232If I was the Nuggets GM I would've ran a line up of:GobertJokicSiakamAaron GordonDonovan
>>152075232the nuggets are lucky they have joker kek thats a trash organization
>>152075232>>152075182jesus. Jokic really couldve already been considered goat if denver wasnt a trash organization

Is Herb Jones washed?
>jokebitch 0 FGsfraud too scared of the big defenders
>>152075630The only person Dort's put out for time was Ja. Watson put out Jdub for 2 weeks in the first quarter of a game so Chokic could get a win over OKC and have a better chance at stealing another MVP

>>152075684nvm, he made a 3
>>152075665Kyle Lowry was wanted by the Heat and the 76er's, Gasol was wanted by the Lakers, Ibaka was wanted by the Clippers and Bucks, Norm was one of the best 6th men in the league and FVV went onto become an All-Star. We let most of them walk and got back scraps.
Holy shit, there just a lid on the rim right now goddamn
>>152075622
Jokic might actually be a good counter to the rockets. Hes big enough and a good enough rebounder to fuck with their flow.

>>152075726big? yeahrebounder? that's val. jokic has yet to make a meaningful reboudn in the game. instead, he's letting the other white european big doing his dirty work. that's actual mafia type behavior, I tell you
Why are Dick's minutes down so much?
