Luka edition previous Jokic edition >>152196943
Nico won
>LEAVE LEBRON ALONE OR ELSE YOU HAVE TO MESS WITH ME
Do blacks in LA cheer for Luka?
Rebumskid James
>>152201123I wouldn't
>>152201123Nope. He doesn’t play defense.
>>152201123Everyone does. Luka feels like he has been on the team for a decade. Unlike the drunk on our team. More people hate LeBron than like him. Lakers fans don't tolerate LeBron's bullshit
>>152201123Black people are hype merchants. They go for anything that’s popular and being favored.
lmao THJ and Jokic jumping around like monkeys
Damn. Watch LeBron closely and many possessions he’s a straight up minus on defense.
My reffies :)
the luka D
>LeRegigigas
Damn the Suns are doing this without 3 rotation players.
Luka baiting that chump keeeeeekaroooooooo
>AIEEEEE I JUMPED ON A WOODEN FLOOR AND NOW I AM CRIPPLEDwhy are these niggas like this
adelman really sent daron back to gleague just to give zeeekkk more time. sick of it
lakers pulling away, we might get to see bronny play
Murray is made of paper
>>152201151I'm noticing that more early on in games, unc's legs are frozen
>>152201174That shit hurts. You obviously never played ball outside the park
>>152201151Is lebrons defensive IQ high enough for him to morph into peak Draymond as he ages?
Lebron looks like what the kids call "Unc"
Reaves would be your team's best franchise player
LeBron should be embarrassed arguing that's a foul. Go sit the fuck down
Murray moment
The block was a humiliation ritual for lebum
Who needs Westbrook when you have Murray?
Spurs are seriously serious
>>152201202AR took Herro's chain. I'm glad for American BAWBS you finally have a real star again
SPURS OWN THE NUGGIES EVEN WITHOUT WEMBY
>>152201202Reaves would be Luke Kennard without the Lakers
Bron is looking real old out there. He's going to end up on a once every 3 games rotation.
>>152201202i mean he's averaging 30 points a game. dude has been incredible since high school
Triple Dub for WestBrook
>>152201234You don't actually believe that
>>152201236lecone just needs a 2 week trip to balco
>>152201236LeDiddy isn't going to miss his meaningless All-NBA appearance
this is the first basketball game i've watched in a decade and i am disgusted and horrified by the creatures they've found to put on display
Yet another awful triple double game for Jokic
midnight snacking and western hoops
I feel a little bad for Laravia, Luka went off on him before lmao
>>152201225>EVEN WITHOUT WEMBYthey're a better team without him, its the same shit as with orlando and paolo or atlanta and trae
shit refs
>>152201247I do believe that. Reaves wouldn’t have that Laker whistle and the space that comes with it if he was on another team
>only winning against the suns by 4 with massive refballthe blunder everybody
>>152201270He has been dogshit since starting the season out scalding hot
>>152201272i don't get how people still think wemby is good. they're literally 5-1 without him this season
Atleast Jokic got his trippy dubby
>>152201280sounds like knecht last yearmust be a coaching issue
Gotta give the Suns props for not getting blown out against OKC. It could’ve been a lot worse.
ON YO HEAD KLAY
Lebron can cherry pick all he wants with Luka
Do you think AD misses the Lakers?
>>152201289A real coach would have benched LeBron the rest of the game for that piss poor effort
>>152201280He isn't though, he does a lot of little things and normally does everything right. Except that play where he should've been in the corner
>>152201284It's like how OKC is 18-1 without Jdub, they have a good squad but Wemby still makes them better
>>152201297He's given up like 4 threes tonight
>>152201284Luke is good, Webmy is a dumpster fire
Luka could probably average 40 if he wanted to
There's Air Jordan then there's LeAirball
>>152201305not really. ball movement and shooting is statistically better without him
>>152201306Yeah he's lost tonight but normally he's positioning himself perfectly. He's been so good that he's the starter when Luka or AR is out. If his offence (confidence) improves he's a high level role-player
i fear i may pass away before the last two minutes of this game are over
>>152201309Kornet is good, but you can tell he isn't used to playing 30mpg
>>152201284Every advanced stat points to Wembanyama having top 10 impact and potentially the 5th best player in the nba. Eye tests passes too. Current spurs would go nowhere in the playoffs without Wemby
>>152201318He gives them elite rim protection
Nico was wrong: Mavs needed Reaves plus picks, not AD.
>>152201102>Ads louder than the gamefuck Amazon
That Carmax commercial makes me want to become a school shooter
Was /nba/ wrong about them?
>>152201286nah they took away one of his rebounds, so no triple double
Peeping. Hoping pooper flagg hoops a good game.
>>152201327>Every advanced statThose stats all get skewed by the fact that Webmy gets so many blocks. He is good at that, but isn't good at anything else. Spurs W-L with and without his is the stat that counts.
Russ trippie dubbie
jokic was trying so hard for that last rebound but couldn't get the triple double lol
>>152201309Kornet is good Celtic fans were pretty disappointed that he left
>>152201339Rapshits would be fire if their number 1 guy wasn't Scottie, unwatchable
LeBrons double digit streak lives another day
>>152201350>Wemby truly is Wilt
Lakers announcers: >"Usher is here tonight" >"Then why is he not showing anybody to their seats?"
LeBrick got his 10, he can go back to his coffin and rest now
>>152201339No disrespect but I doubt /nba/ even cared enough about the Raptors to bad mouth them at the beginning of the season.
Baby Nembhard is legit
>>152201378The only thing the Craptors will ever be known for is having the biggest asterisk ring in the history of sports
Flagg isn't ready for prime time
Mavs could end up with 9 players scoring double digits
AustHIM was not a meme.
How the fuck is the NBA website this fucking bad
>>152201339>eradicators of the east
Wait, are the Nuggets knocked out of the NBA cup? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
god dayum
Why is flagg passing so much>>152201397He's securing us the 2 seed
where is the lakers pee court
>>152201389What game are you watching?
candace parker shut the hell up
>>152201404Luka told Silver to fuck off with that shit
I just noticed Marcus Smart isn't playingNo wonder the Lakers can't guard shit on the wing
No defense, no box out, no communication. Please fucking retire
If mavs win this Nico gets his job back
Ayton getting embarrassed by AD.
ANTHONY DAVIS IS BACK
Lakers need to replace LeBron with 2 starter caliber wings
>>152201415Laravia playing like shit too, without AR being hot they would 100% lose
I always believed in you ADisney
>>152201412Sync the video to the radio. Fuck women announcers https://www.audacy.com/stations/lalakersonaudacy?action=AUTOPLAY_FULL&actionContentId=101-5440
>SGA had 15/17 fts on 37Shades of harden
>>152201436Larden was the worst. As soon as they stopped calling his bullshit his teams became terrible
jokes aside, the lakers can't run a lineup with luka/lebron/reaves and expect to beat anybody good. I team like okc will destroy them
Lebron got his points streak, he's about to sell the fuck out of the game even more.
>>152201420Just like back in 2021 before AD went down
nugget
>>152201443Next year when the Lakers get competent people to replace LeBum, they'll be serious championship contenders. Can't be paying a guy $60 million to be a traffic cone on defense and not put in any effort
>>152201443I wish he would stop taking AR's ball time because he was looking like Luka-lite before he came back
Mavs defense is actually pretty nice
>>152201452https://www.complex.com/shop/drops/billie-eilish-league-collection
please trade lebron
>>152201436I’m just wondering why OKC? Why did the league choose OKC as the team to piggyback off of. Cause it’s not just SGA. Majority of the team is just allowed to get away with some bullshit.
FLAGG TRIPPIE DUB WATCH
Reaves destroying the Mavs
>>152201470Because they did things the right way/
>>152201443They better hope Lebron isn't entirely geriatric by then, only teams with dominant 4s and 5s give OKC trouble
Lebron looking like post achilles Kobr
>lebum missing three times in a row, twice from a foot outoh no no
>>152201443lakers are playing 4 on 5 with lebum on the floor. dude is just a sideshow freak OMG HE IS OLD AND PLAYING NBA!!!!
They really think they can win a title with lebrick, lmao
Leblocked
Holy fuck LeBron is awful. Just retire already
>>152201470There was a shit ton of extremely hard defense and reaching by okc tonight while the whistle for the suns was soft as fuck. There was a disgusting charge call on Booker v shai at one point
>>152201480No, his teammates actually like him
>>152201412holy fucking shit she is why women shouldn't be allowed to vote. she is why men beat their wives.
Clear hook from reaves
Do teams realize that the more the clippers lose the higher the pick the Thunder get? Let the clippers win you dumb fucks
>>152201501Grim
>>152201497My enjoyment of this game increased exponentially when I went to listening on the radio commentaryhttps://www.audacy.com/stations/lalakersonaudacy?action=AUTOPLAY_FULL&actionContentId=101-5440
Reaves clamps Pooper
>>152201465Could it not be more obvious she wants Alperen?
>>152201503Teams can only sag so much, Clippers are just that bad.
>>152201470they're selling a dynasty. okc is uniquely positioned.
Reaves is not a playoff riser
Could AR be in All-NBA talks if he keeps this up fr
>>152201503the lottery means none of this shit really matters
>>152201485It's amazing how even just 2 years ago LeBron would dismantle the Thunder with Luka at his side. Now it's absolutely not likely.
>>152201520because he’s a refbabby and won’t get superstar calls in the playoffs
>>152201503I want to see the Clippers crash and burn. Can't wait for Silver to ban Ballmer for life
>>152201535Why does shai though?
>>152201520He got his start being a playoff riser thoughever
>Flagg is being asked to be point centermelting_god's_strongest_soldier.webm
>>152201470Silver is trying to sell the NBA to white people so he's rigging it for a midwest team.
>>152201538because it's rigged
>>152201508enjoying it already, thanks bro
>>152201538Why doesn’t bronny?
>>152201520Did you start watching NBA after 23? He was a breakout star in those playoffs
this clipper team gotta be the most bum ass squad of the 20's
>>152201552This was not tuff bro
>>152201552Answer the question
>>152201552Wait a minute. He's onto something....
Give Billie a ref whistle and let her jog up and down the court giving the game fair calls
yo how do you lose the game by 10 when your starters are +7 to +18? epically bad coaching
>>152201102There's something special about this lakers team.
Reaves is a maniac. I don't think the league has seen a duo like it since the 70s
>>152201552kek you got the thirdworldies squealing with this one
>DLo DNP
maniac drug dealer
>>152201587>duoReaves and Reaves?
>>152201590>thirdworldiesPosted from his house in Brampton with 10 roommates
>>152201597Cook kiwi
>>152201583doug triste is trashthey need a pat riley type to slap the fuck out of all those egosbut nobody on that level is gonna coach the kangz
I've been watching Reaves this entire game and still don't understand where 40 points came from. I can only imagine how confusing it is for them.
>>152201597>>152201598the thirdworldies sticking together like a pack of pigs kek
faker fans pretending to like reaves after they shit on him and demanded he gets traded
LMFAO Crappers blew a 16 point lead
>>152201608>you are pig saar!!! SAAAAAAR
>reavesthis white boy cold asf
>leaftranny
>>152201491lebum will force the lakers to keep him on the floor for double doubles despite his +/- being awful
>>152201612Why would you consider people who wanted Kessler for AR humans with real thoughts is my question
congrats to the lakerslebron retiring off a ship is not badbut this league is a complete jokeno wonder a team sold out to the mob
>>152201619nah he was asking why caitlin clark was lusting after dbook he's a curious fella
>>152201621nah he doesn't care bout double doubles he only cares about 10 points
>>152201619Shout out to the time this leaf named a tranny drug by its brand name
>>152201612Lakers fans demand the whole team get traded after every loss
Notice how much better the Lakers look without LeBron
>>152201538Reaves grifts the same way Harden, Trae, and Dame did, on his 3s and by running into defenders and throwing the ball up. SGA is more like Jimmy with the pump fakes and is a Giannis-tier driving threat. SGA also shoots all the techs and routinely gets the ball in the end of the game when teams have to foul, I don't watch the Lakeshits so I don't know if that's the same case for Reaves that bumb his numbers up.
Dallas has good ass defense not gonna lie
the lakers are complete trash
>Luka, my sidekick, please get out the way and let me go to work
Cloppers trading Norman Powell was franchise ruining
>>152201638I demand we trade you back to Istanbul if Lakers lose
Kyrie and AD would actually be a contender so Nico's humiliating death is even funnier
Point Pooper has 11 assists
Lebum falling out and Cooper fouls him for no reason lol
>lebum bricks both freethrows because he's already at 10
>>152201653no? he's an insignificant player. what did they do with him? sure he's good but not franchise altering.
LeBron getting booes. Lakers fans are based
my king looking washed sadge
OWN GOAL BY LUKA
Why are the Nuggets so bad at home? 3 straight losses.
>>152201653They saw the Lakers try to run the 2012 All-Stars a few years back and thought "we should try that shit"
>>152201668This is cope. They aren’t competitive anymore. It’s over.
dallas getting bombed on
>>152201672He can't miss
>SunsGODS still on the Mickey Mouse Cup>have to play OKC+refs again and on the off chance of a win then the Lakers+refsOh, fuck off. Should've been blown out and be done with this trash instead.
Could it be... the LeDagger...??

>ADisney>30 minutes>12 pointsKEEEEEEEEEEK
>>152201745>>152201741Bakersfield has hotter women than every other state. We're spoiled in California
I think this game showed OKC still needs a few upgrades,As I said, they have no 6'6-6'9 wings, they blew multiple layups, missed like 5 3s in the first quarter, they gave up so many points for PHX, if they were playing Houston like this they would absolutely lose, they cannot play like this again lol
My Lakies won again!
>spurs beat denver without wemby and castlespurs too deep
Ayton outplayed AD...
how come it's harder to make the quarter finals of the nba cup than the nba playoffs
lebum is a fourth option now
>>152201754They're 19 - 1 gtfooh
>>152201750He's there to secure Dallas' top tier defense
>>152201754That's funny cause there's two 6'9 wings projected to go at the top of next year's draft

>>152201804like half of the league is battling injuries right now
>>152201765Suns were missing their biggest most important scorers/shooters lmao,OKC sucked ass this game Suns didn't have Allen and Green and still lost by 4 and could won if they made some 3s >>152201776I agree, and Daigneult should stop being a retard and calling a challenge for everything is so fucking stupid, Caruso needs to stop being a bitch and stop fouling the fuck out of other players and then acting surprised when hes called for valid illegal contact,OKC needs to add someone like Dyson Daniels or OG Anunoby, they need to fix the glaring size problem they have at times
>>152201816Your goat is not respected
>>152201815Did you not watch NBA before 2013? Lakers are the main character
>>152201827CANZAC patriots fact checked this post... they're saying it's TRUE
>>152201822>Suns were missing their biggest most important scorers/shooters lmao,And OKC was missing their starting center, their 6th man, and Ajay Mitchell averaging 16 points a game. GTFOOH >>152201827Except by old headsand mediaand all ball knowersonly zoomers and BAWBs won't give him credit, since he's lapped Puka's career and owned Chokic in the 'yoffs.
This is actually a Pelinka agent making sure Duren comes home to Luka and AR
Friendly reminder that the unbeatable OKC Thunder lost the prestigious NBA Cup™ final last year to a team coached by Shock Rivers and Darvin Scam.

Lakers need to get rid of LeGeriatric and get the white boys some help a good 3nD wing
>>152201868We're gitting Keon and Timelord, trust the plan
>>152201853Giannmickey is a good player. The Thunder were too soft for their interior defense. That game taught them to toughen up
Lakers sleepwalked for 3 quarters and walked them down in the 4th. BABBs and Leafjeet really thought Pooper and ADisney had the dawg in them. This is a 30 point blowout if their 10 day contractors don't go off like they did. LuGOD wins again.
>>152201862Soon to be 2 time champ. MJ could NEVER

>>152201919if Bron was willing to wave the no-trade i think we could get a 3 team deal done id also be very willing to get rid of Rui he and Ayton suck ass together

>cup favorites>about to shatter the wins record>headed for b2b champs>also going to get the #1 pick>key players haven't even entered their primesit's never been more over
>>152201947Players definitely do. They all want that extra money
>>152201842>Ajay Mitchellyou mean THE Ajay Mitchell who blew a layup twice, fuck off lmaoThey had Jdub come back and only score 2 pts by half time and 11 measely points in total, and why no Carlson if IHart gone??At this point if they went 18-1 without Dub then I think they could trade Jdub and draft someone better as his replacement, Although id argue Chet and Dubs contracts simply just aren't equal to their production, Shai plays like what he's worth, they have some good games but man.... its night and day comparing to what Shai does
>>152201736THE HAPPY WORLD OF HARIBOPENIS IN YOUR ANUS HOLE
>>152201950>Le top defense and yet dumbass Presti cannot draft a proper fucking wing thats 6'6 to 6'9 that isn't dogshit or injuredHouston is gonna knock em out of the playoffs mark my words
>>152201924one furthest right looks the most up to fuck brother
>>152201943I didn't notice that about Rui and Ayton but you're right desu. He's definitely being sent away, his worth on the market might be the highest its been for a while and he's not moving the needle
>>152201969houston is not a serious team and will crumble to any amount of playoff gameplanning
>>152201924At least 2 of them are men
Imagine Doncic + Jokic with some 3 and D players.
>>152201943>>152201982I disagree, right now I feel like the guys who are guaranteed getting moved are>gabe>vando>knechtrui may be inconsistent as hell but he's still got size, and you can't teach that
>>152201969Dort and Caruso will send KD into retirement
>>152201969Undersized PGs like Reed are unplayable in the playoffs. You don't know ball
>>152202004I mean Rui's pretty consistently good but he's not going to level up. He's worth way more as an asset than on the team imo. I love watching this entire team (except LeBum) but they need to make moves. Can't wait for Gave and Vando to fuck off, and Knecht is basically worthless so I would prefer to just keep him at this point, what use is a second lol
AD 12pts 5 boards 5 assists -4 box and a LLuka 35pts 5 boards 11 assists +15 box and a WNicobruthas…
>>152202004we can keep rui if we can find another center for him to play with while ayton rests but i dont want them playing together they mesh like Chocolate and tuna
>>152202004damn we already in we gon git season?
>>152202044Kangz firesale actually has me interested tbf
The quality of top teams and talents have gone badly in the last 5 years. Current OKC and Pistons would have been mid teams in 2015.
>>152201986Yet but Houston's team specifically countered them with their length, Houston had the size disparity as they had against Indiana, everyone had a 7 foot wingspan and was contesting shots and slashing and OKC had a rough first half, cause they were missing alot of shots and layups, Thompson,Jabari, Tari were all cutting them off,if im Presti, I would trade to add, either Dyson, Toumani, Okogie, Mathurin, this would solve their issue
>>152202049only Kang i would want is Murray and they aren't getting rid of him or maybe Monk for the cheap
Denver used to be amazing in the clutch, now they're 1-5 lol
bron for giannis
>>152201842>ball knowersThe only balls you know are SGAs in your mouth
I think it's time for the Pistons to pursue Markkanen
>>152202128Their fanbase doesn't even wanna include Ausar lmao
>>152202128that'll be all the draft picks...and ausar...and take nurk...
>>152202097No MPJ is a big issue,Not sure where they go from here, they have to move out Murray's contract and then sign Quinten Grimes, Trent Jr, and maybe Khris Middleton,They need fucking defense and hotter shooting, they're wavering too much on many possessions
Austin Reaves literally only got good because Lebron believed in him. White boys need validation from blacks.
>>152201740>>152201729>>152201724>implying her being a tranny doesn't make her even hotter
>>152202140>>152202147If Ausar is genuinely the make or break then I'd decline if I were the Pistons. He has too much potential to be future all NBA defensive player. Ivey + Harris + picks is fair I think given Markkanen's contract and age.
>>152202078I think it's mostly how the mid teams are way better now than they were 10 years ago so the top teams don't seem as dominantLike in 2015 you had like 3 or 4 teams that were clearly on another level then the rest of the league below them
Denver just needs Gordon and Braun back. They're fine.
>>152202039You forgot to add Max Christie's stats13pts, 1reb, 1ast, -18
>>152202178Ainge wants a big package so no Ausar no deal
>>152202193probably need another real ballhandler. BB is trying but he's really more of an off-guard at best or small wing and in general he doesn't have the same pop as last time
>>152202164Watch his college highlights. He probably would of been drafted but withheld because he wanted to go to the Lakers
>>152202004Gabe is the only reliable bench player on the team.
>>152202223He's more of a street ball vanilla hooper, I didn't like what I saw in the playoffs he just vanished,If he was undrafted I think there was a big issue scouts didn't like lol
>>152202252He was going to get drafted he just turned everyone off by saying he wanted to be in LA
>>152202255Lol 60 players and he couldn't even get one team, well damn ok And right now he's being a diva and iirc LA offered him 98 million 3-4 years and he turned that down????
>>152202262I do not think you are actually reading the posts that respond to you
>>152202078That goes along with the NBA being so nepotistic. The whole Bronny phenomenon really puts what a joke the league is on display, but even outside of Bronny there are dozens of other Juniors who don't belong. And along with them are dozens of deserving players from less privileged backgrounds who got frozen out.
>>152202262It's the opposite, he's most likely not going to get paid his full worth because he wants to stay that bad. Spurs want him too btw, he could be a number 2 under wemby guaranteed chip opportunity but he just doesn't wanna leave
>>152202252I guess but you cant say that he lacks confidence
>>152202149AG is out so their clutch 3ball chucker wasn't available tonight.
>>152202267I am, I just worded that post wrong, I meant 60 players selected and he couldn't even selected for one team just because he preferred a destination????>>152202271him on Spurs?? Will they have cap with the other guys extensions coming around, I feel like the Spurs are good enough, they don't need another guard at all they need a SF and PF, size and skill is a big issue, they have solid slashers but no bigs,Kelly and Luke are slow or old, they should open cap for Giannis instead, he solves the issue the Spurs have
>>152202295they have cap with harper and castle lmao. also he's a great fit because he can be hidden on D and take advantage of the attention wemby gets, AR off ball is one of the best parts of his game imo
>>152202255He also transferred from Wichita state to a bigger school Oklahoma because he wasn't happy with his role
>>152202280Oh yea I forgot,I think if him and Braun are still out by next year or miss time again then OKC can def get to 70 wins assuming Jdub gets back into scoring form and Ihart is back respectively,
Let's be real the Lakers are a first round exit
>>152202097yeah they threw away their clutch 3ball man MPJ and AGs hamstring is BTFO
>>152202313they're both out another 4 weeks or so, hopefully they're spending every free second practicing shooting. AG already demonstrated that he has the work ethic to do that, hope good example that rubs off on braun
Without question the thunder are winning 74 games.
Luka calling out Reaves for not playing defense. Lakers are going to get cooked in the playoffs
>>152202302Nah,AR is too ball dominant, there's too many guards honest to god, he egregiously overlaps with Vassell, Harper, and Fox,then again the Spurs FO has Joe Biden running things, after what the fuck were they thinking, giving the nig Fox 50 million
>>152202321Luka already dragged Kyrie and a bunch of nobodies to the finals once, so he can probably do the same with AR & a bunch of mids. He isn't like Lebron or Curry who needs at least two other all-stars on the team to get the finals, Luka is one man wrecking crew, just needs a sidekick.
The 'zards have a solid solo hold on last place for the first time this season after losing to Indy. Does anyone doubt their ability to hold it? Will they be able to lose 70 this year?My main worry with the 'zards is that one of their awful starters gets injured and then it turns out that whoever replaces them from the bench is actually a lot better and they start winning a few too many
>>152202361LeBron dragged Kyrie and a bunch of nobodies to the finals three times.Then he dragged a bunch of nobodies to the finals without Kyrie.
>>152202380respect love
>>152202321Obviously. It's the exact same story as last year. Lakers in 5 and then get BTFO in 5
One thing the NFL gets right is that game starts are almost always at set times
>>152202361Sounds like Luka could've pulled a KD and joined OKC, then Shai can finally play SGThe Don doesn't even have an MVP lol
>it is the 2025-2026 nba season>lebron is now third fiddleif you told me lebron was ever gonna be third option, i'd ?? you
>>152202385idk if i should feel bad for kevin love, because it's well known if you team up with lebum you are automatically the worst dogshit trashcan to have ever touched a basketball, but was that well known before or after kevin love made that choice that ruined his career i'm not sure
>>152202419SGA wouldn't be able to drive & flop for points as well at SG. He'd end up having to actually make buckets to put points on his box score line
>>152202385I watched him play live from my home in the Land and he was terrible2025 LeBron outclasses 2016 Love
>>152201548OKC is full of mexicans tho
was flag good
>>152202424He isn't a 3rd option, lob to center and Rui for 3 are in front of the old man on the flowchart
>>152201924This is the Filipina I pick
>>152202445i should have clarified in sense that he is no longer the #1 ball handler currently, or at least that is how i am seeing it
>>152202430But he plays like a SG,Are you trolling or just a casual, like that's WHAT SGs do, driving to the rim and foul baiting and shooting from range,Like Jordan, Clyde or Kobe,I think Luka and Shai would mesh well given Luka meshed well with LeDiddy in just a few months and got them to 3rd seed
>>152202466luka meshed well with reav not ledids
>>152202445lebum is whatever option he chooses to behe still has all the powerhe'll larp and pretend that he's ok with letting the boys handle business, but he's nothe's gonna jack up as many shots as he feels likehe only shot 7 times his first game, because he got to 10 points fast, but that was the outlier. he's gonna jack up 12 shots a game minimum and nobody's gonna say shit to him
>>152202466yeah he has minimal assists every game. he might clock in as a point guard but he plays as an SG.
Until Luka retires, The Los Angeles Lakers will live rent free in every Dallas fan head. Praying he never gets a ring
All 30 teams ignoring my emails man. Im 5'8" yeah but wet from 3.
>>152202486most dallas fans ive seen support luke
>>152202496Yeah but they still don't want him to win the ultimate prize. Every lakers win stings a little just enough to remind them of how badly their management fucked up
>>152202519yeah they dothey want him to stack rangz so they can say "fuck nico" they love it
>>152202537Nico has already been forgotten. Next cope is probably "sell the team back to cuban"
>>152202545wrong
>>152202545Next cope is "Luka is coming back"
I think this sport is dead. Thought LeBron coming back would turn things but it didnt even register as a blip.
>>152202627>Thought LeBron coming back would turn things but it didnt even register as a blipThe opposite happened. Ive been seeing Lakers fans asking for his removal from the team.
Westbrook got a triple double, was +11 and the kings somehow lost to the jizz? Are you fucking shitting me with this team? G2YGAY
>>152202652At the end of the day LeBron will never be beloved in Los Angeles. He won them one ring, that's it, and it was a Mickey Mouse ring when everything was locked down. Since then he's authored numerous playoff chokes and convinced the team to waste a draft pick on his dogshit son.The Lakers have had so many great players over the decades. LeBron thought he was bigger than the Lakers, but he was wrong.
Should NBA teams start intentionally losing games to the Clippers so the Thunder don't get a lottery pick from them?
>>152202675He won’t be loved as a Laker but he’s definitely loved as a novelty. Perfect for LA types that don’t watch basketball but will spend hundreds on a game just to post on their social media pics of the game with captions saying “LeGOAT” or some shit like that.
>>152202710Genuinely yeah that would probably be a worthwhile thing to do
>>152202675Not to mention them running out of fucking draft picks,From AD, and losing the ball bros, Kuzma, Hart, to Westbrick,Lakers gutted so much talent and valuble picks and lost so much with Lebron so him fucking off likely back to Cavs is symbolic
>>152202710They will probably draft a guy who will tear his acl in the summer league like the last 2 drafts so who cares
>>152202710>>152202720I'm looking at the mock draft and people have the pick at 6 or 7 or lower, pun intended,I'd be really surprised, I wonder what the Celtics can trade to get Dybantsa if they dont land the top 3 pick
>>152202730>They will probably draft a guy who will tear his aclThis, Presti has had dogshit drafts the past 2 years, I dont understand why people fear OKC being "overpowered" when they're gonna gut their core because he paid Chetstein Holmbrick 50 mllion, over a Linebacker Haitian and 7 foot Germantheir backup PG to replace Shai is a Serbian with ACL and ballsack Cancer
topic and his bionic balls will make you guys look silly
>>152202730They also have the first round pick of the Jazz, Rockets, 76ers, and themselves. No way all of those guys are tearing their acl. The league is fucked.
>>152202750>I dont understand why people fear OKC being "overpowered"Probably because they are 19-1 in the Western Conference without their second best player and have won 11 straight with most of their games being blowouts and their one loss being a two point away game, that might have something to do with it.
>>152202710The league aint giving Thunder the high pick. I guarantee it
You know this Curry commercial I'm seeing for the Google foldout phone is reminding me of another reason why I think everybody's going to remember this as Curry's era, not LeBron's: Curry has always stayed on the same team. For 16 years he's been with the Warriors and nobody else. That kind of loyalty is what helps stamp a player's legend. Kobe was loyal. Duncan was loyal. Dirk was loyal. People remember that shit. Hell, Jordan was loyal, until he unretired. Bird was loyal. Magic was loyal.
>>152202795What can the league do? The Thunder got them fair and square through good management. The only time the league ever stepped in for parity reasons as far I know is the Chris Paul to the Lakers thing and that's only because the commissioner technically owned the Hornets at the time.
>>152202750>their backup PG to replace Shai is a Serbian with ACL and ballsack CancerYou mean a belgian averaging 16 PPG in his second season
>>152202844You now remember>basketball reasons
Just woke up to the Nuggies losing to the Spurs without Wemby. Jokic bros, are we still beating the Thundercunts in the playoffs?
The Lakers are amazing to watch when LeBron is on the bench. When he's playing it's like watching cancer develop
Why the hell is Castle still out again? I know they're being cautious with Wemby's calf because Haliburton tearing his Achilles in the Finals has everybody spooked about calf injuries. But what's keeping Castle out?
>>152202844basketball reasons happened because the other owners were being haters. They really should do a documentary on it
Is Shai more boring than prime tim duncan? I only saw washed duncan
>>152202732Doubt the Celtics have the assets for it.
>>152200896This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever read on this website and that's saying something. Imaging simping like this as if they're insulting your family. Pathetic social parasitic relationship
>>152202750Chet is better than Hartenstein and Dort what are you on about
>>152202879>>152202908I'm surprised "basketball reasons" didn't become more of a long-lasting meme on /sp/. I thought it was very funny at the time and it came from David Stern who was a bit of a meme lord.God I miss Stern. He was so entertaining. And he ran the league a fuckton better than Silver has ran it.
Just for the record real Lakers fans from SoCal want LeBron gone and his son. Get this lazy bum out of here already. If you can't attempt to play defense you don't deserve to wear the jersey. Go con Ballmer and the Clippers if you want to be lazy, you'll fit right in
Showed my wife highlights once of all the NBA legends. She was blown away by Jordan, Magic and Kobe the most. Showed her LeBron highlights and two minutes in she asks "when are the highlights starting?"
>>152202978Show her the akron hammer
>>152202978and then i woke up
>>152201123>blacks in LAThis doesnt exist anymore, no? Even Compton was gentrified by lateenos
>>152203008They're in Watts, Inglewood and North Long Beach, some in the Valley now.
>>152202993>SAAR I'M NOT IN MUMBAI ANYMORE
>>152202670who gets surprised when the kangz lose? they're the wizards of the west, its been like that for decades
>>152202717yeah he'll be popular because he'll go on the list with jabar, wilt, shaq, etc as all time greats who were with the lakers for part of their career
>>152203045The Queens are pathetic especially their fans still crying about shit that happened almost a quarter century ago because that's all they have as a franchise. Blaming the refs when the refs gifted them game 5. Blaming the refs when their players choked games 4 and 7. Absolutely dog shit loser team and they deserve all the misery
>>152203045When westbrook got a triple double on the wizards they won
Reaves might actually surpass Luka in EPM if he keeps playing this well kek
Why are the thunder allowed such physical defense fr tho?They're a meme franchise
>>1522023612007 Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Drew Gooden were all-stars apparently. Also can't forget 2018 George Hill, the Cavs third leading playoff scorer with 9.2 ppg, was definitely snubbed for all-star that year. >>152202428Kevin Love did fuck all after the 2016 finals, 14.9 a game on 40% shooting and barely double digit rebounds per game as the second option is a fucking joke.
>>152203186>muh statpadding Lebron isn't and never was a good team player, thats why he has such a mediocre playoff record. Jordan was like that when he was young, but then he grew out of it and decided to become a winner instead of just a selfish statpadder
I hope Kevin Durant realizes that championship rings by themselves are essentially just expensive jewelry, they mean absolutely nothing. What gives them value is what they represent and KD's rings will always represent a bum ass snake who took the easy way out.
>>152203253That 2022 Warriors ring is a backbreaker for him. The ultimate proof that Golden State never needed him, that it was he who needed them and not the other way around. They won before KD, they won with KD, and they won after KD. Chuck was right, he was a bus rider.
>>152202978How about your wifes bull? What did he think about?
>>152201102ngl, lost respect for luka as a top player in the league not acknowledge cooper flagg at all in the post game. Just proves he's a coddled bawb who stays getting his ass gaped by the real face of the league in SGA, who I am now rooting for
>>152203244>statpaddingGame 1 and Game 3 were not blowouts. What's your next stupid argument?
>>152203106They won't give him enough shots now that Bron is back
>>152203274Acknowledge what exactly?>Good job rookie, 10 assists?
>>152203304>Good job Cooper. White power!Maybe that?
I'd say my Pistons have been looking retarded as of late but to be honest, they've been looking retarded since that Pacers win. The lack of rebounding at the end vs the Magic was fucking disgusting to watch
>>152202724None of them were good besides Julius Randle, kek. Yeah fuck LeBron for that. Not one player you mentioned is Reaves tier.
>>152203331Cade is their only offense and he keeps choking and Ivey sucks ass now so they probably should ship him while they still can.
>>152202025I will never understand your irrational hatred for Gabe Vincent. He literally does Vanderbuilt's job better outside of rebounding.
>>152203368It's like an alternate universe version of their 23-24 selves seeps in for a couple of seconds every now and then
>>152203325Someone should give Flagg a bar of soap and tell him to wash his face. His acne is disgusting, nobody wants to look at that. League should make him play with a paper bag over his head
>>152203486Silver has him on hgh like bron and hes breaking out why you hating
>>152203274>“I think he’s a good player. Obviously, there’s a lot of pressure that comes with the 1st pick so he has a lot on his shoulder, but I think he will become a great player.”
>>152203368What about Duren? I thought people say he's good?
Why are thunder fans so adamant about them not having a good whistle?
>>152203874They know everything is stacked in their favor so it hurts their feelings they dont get to play wholesome scrappy grinder team anymore
>>152203874Because they don't outside of Shai.
>>152202466I still chuckle whenever I remember how people used to say Luka can't play with another star guard but then all his best co-stars turned out to be guards. I think even the Mavs used to believe that since they traded DSJ to pair Luka with Porzingis.
Why are zoomers players cucked compared to based millennial ballers?Millennials are all in their 30s and hell even 40s and they are still playing at a high level. Only way for zoomers to win is to team up and flop like hell ehem Thunder. They even need someone to push them just to lose weight ehem Zion ehem Luka.For the record, Jokic and Giannis are still both millennials. Only hope for Gen Z is wemby but he gets injured all the time lol
>>152204143>Dort.Getting the whistle also means, not getting the whistle when fouling. Caruso also. They get similar treatment as Drayboon.
>>152203278Lebron is the GOAT but my God Lebron choked 2017 finals game 3.
>>152206113KAJ made all nba first team at age 38. Its not unheard of for players to be good even into their mid to late 30s. Its just that this time we got 3 very well aging guys in bron kd and curry. I dont know why butler and derozan are in this picture they arent even all star level anymore
>>152206113>Only hope for Gen Z is wembyThe guy who's 7'5 and only shoots 56% on twos?
>>152206200Harden will be an all star this year. De Rozan can still ball.For the record Jordan retired at 35 cause he can't compete anymore with Duncan and Shaq.Meanwhile Durant, Curry and Lebron can still carry teams to winning chips at their late 30s.
>>152206275MJ is 6'5 but Bron is 6'9 and KD is at least 6'10. The only true outlier here is Curry who despite everything is still the goat shooter, a skill that doesnt diminish with age
imagine getting cooked by whiteboy reaves in the big 2025
Also, Jordan won mvp and fmvp at age 35, 3 DECADES before current technology. How can we say he didnt age well.
>>152206636You’re literally discussing to zoomers and late age millennials here unc They don’t know watchu yappin bout
Who is MJ
>>152206113>Boomoid cope post
the pistons were in a lot of fowl trouble on the thanksgiving game against the pistons haha
>>152207016lgbt unc who used to cook Jordan.
>>152207088against the magic i meant
>>152207049>trannyzoomer coping his zoomer athletes cant ball past age 25
>>152206113>KD: washed>LBJ: washed >Curry: washed>HIMmy: not washed I don't get why Butler and that middle nobody is with those losers
>>152206113zoomers fell for the "we're all friends xd" lie and never cut the throat of their millennial competition and allowed them to have long wealthy careersguys like paul george should've been forced out of the league a long time ago and yet they're on supermax multi year deals

>>152209353Everyone knows OKC is the best team in the league. They will finish first seed by a large margin and will cakewalk to the WCF. The questions begin to arise in the WCF. They'll kill whoever comes out the East. WCF is their only test this season.
>>152209612Welcome back, 2018 nba playoffs
This really is just 2018 all over again where everyone knows the western conference will win and all that matters is if the warriors or rockets win. Except this time the west is between 4 teams

>>152211775mvp "rankings" before christmas are cringe
I just went through the top 100 players this season so far according to EPM, and 26 of them were either second round picks or undrafted. There's so much value outside of the first round yet only like 3 teams in the league ever give these guys a chance or seem to care at all. Any team without a "deep" roster just isn't trying hard enough.
>>152211949>only like 3 teams in the league ever give these guys a chance or seem to care at allThis is simply untrue.
>>152211977It's hyperbole but like half of them come from either Lakers, Heat or OKC.
>>1522117751 jok2 sga3 luka4 giannis5 cade6 wemby7 sengun8 norman powell9 ingram10 brunsonRecord matters
>>152211823>>152212115Reaves is averaging 28/6/7 on Shai efficiency and his team is 14-4
>>152212245I only go with 1 guy per team because realistically the 2nd or 3rd best player never have a chance.
>>152212284Fair
>>152212115Id also like to mention booker but i think the suns already had the best stretch of their season and book also isnt playing as well as he did at first
