>>152844033dude is getting worked over by a second stringer, about to lose on his home court to a team with 5
>Embiid
Jokic has no help bros? The whole team is shooting over 60%? Jalen Pickett and Zeke Nnaji have over 20 points? Vs a full squad philly?
>another Embiid turnover
>>152844033…injured starters
>>152844087Worry about your own team jeet
spencer jones had like 8pts in 1st quarter aloneand now sitting with 10ptswhat the hell
embiid is retarded
>>152844087so jalen pickett is the greatest basketball player ever. what happened this game
>>152844087Nigga just lost to the Hornets and still thinking about big daddy Jokic
Embiid is gonna sell the game
scary game but philly is gonna pull it out
this is what the new rules brought us
>>152844173We just assfucked the hawks?
Obviously a team that gets blown out by the hornets wouldn't win a ring without injury luck and preferential treatment from the officials
Maxey can't dribble kek
what is it called when you lose to the bench's bench? The couch?
Insane fucking game
how did jalen pickett score 26 points? he fucking sucks and just blew that last game winning possession

>>152843904Is this THE thread?
reminder that this should've been a regulation win for the nuggets bench off the embiid goaltend
>>152844258Jalent Pickett had a triple double in the year of our lord 2025
well well well
>>152844283more than ant edwards btw
win or lose the sixers need to kill themselves
CLUTCH
>>152844305has ant not got a triple double this season?
Fun fact the ogayc blunder lost so hard nba.com wiped the game from history
>>152844321
>embiid has played 36 minutesthey gonna kill him

>>152844299He'll never be on Nico's level

>>152844334Holy shit...How is this possible?In today's NBA, they just give them away.
>>152843981>SGA ready for game 7
Lmao, emiid is actually playing against the nuggest
How bad is Paul George
pickett is garbage
>>152844366its not that crazy for a shooting guard, steph only has thirteen
>>152844401Oh, you were saying?
>7 points scored in 4 minutes of overtimetrash game
The refs swallowed their whistles for like 10 minutes and now just decided to call this weak shit now??
>potentially ultra-dominant team>lose to a french "man">entire team immediately buck broken, talks of breaking the 73-9 record fly out the windowthank fuck for dillon brooks and nembhard. much better canadian basketball representatives than zesty skims merchant and that dirty motherfucker lu dort
>PG
damn vj does everything
if the 6ers still had ben simmons this game would be over
there are three guys being paid 40 to 50 mil on the floor for philly and they went to ot/about to lose to the denver bench (0 starters suited up)
>>152844450True. They would have lost in the 3rd.
>>152844415>stephSometimes you guys call him a point guard, sometimes you call him a shooting guardhint: he's not a point
Paul George.
peyton watson got zero dawg in him
>>152844469yeah thats why i called him a shooting guard
holy shit it's so close

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>losing against this
Embiid sold the game
>SHITXERS
Sixers fan here, thinking about ending it all
>team has Maxey, Paul George, and EmbiidYet, I'd rather have the ball in the rookie's hands for the final possession
THIS IS THE GREATEXT DAY OF MY LIFE

HOW THE FUCK DID JALEN PICKETT DROP 29 POINTS
>Both DEI MVPs lost on the same night in humiliating fashionGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG

that boy is TANKING his clutch numbers

>>152844577if you bet $100 on the Nugs you'd only be up $550
BREAKING: EMBIID FOUND DEAD FROM SELF INFLICTED GUNSHOT WOUND IN LOCKER ROOM
I blame Kyle Lowry. Somehow this is his fault.
Maxey, most improved??? Over Brown??
>>152844579What does nick nurse even do
>>152844579unironically could've foul baited there from Pwat's push
And just like that my winnings from the Rockets game evaporated with Philly.
>>152844567Embiid's legendary defending.
>>152844579There's no way Zeke Nnaji got Maxey this scared LOL
>>152844587Kek reminds me of this
Im really tired and also half retarded (on my mother's side) but what happened toward the end there? The nigs got goaltended by Embig and the ball didn't go in but they got points anyway. Am I just that tired that I didnt see them score ?
>>152844579This nigga had a free completely open everywhere, only had to beat Zeke Nnaji and somehow ended up taking that wack ass shot
>>152844266dont forget Hardawayjrless Nuggets
Who's stopping this team in seven games?
iight imma head out
>>152844624the fuck do you think a goaltend is?
Reminder
>>152844579KWAB HAHAHAHA
who is hurting the sixers more podcast paulie or Embiitch
>>152844635replace holmes there with jokic and you got a championship team. AG can lead the bench and drop 20 every game. Braun, Murray, and scam johnson are jobless.
>>152844578Look at the bright side At least it's always sunny in Philadelphia
CALVIN BOOTH MASTERCLASS
Hunter Tyson = Magic Bird
This is crazy, all the good guys are winning and all the bad guys are losing
>>152844683Apologize NOW
>>152844685blud scared shirtless he's getting chopped when spencer jones is no longer a 2-way player
>SHAI SHOT 30% ON 21 SHOTS >TO LOSE TO THE HORNETS
>>152844698his blue eyes are unnerving
a fucking g league team beat the fully healthy sixers with like 5 top 10 picksI still cannot believe it
>>152844703He's a mesopotamian demon
>>152844698He'd be good in a scout role, he's just a retarded GM
>>152844685Oh my fucking god how did they lose to this team?? In Philly too that is so fucking embarrassing
>>152844701uh what he dropped 14 points in 19 minutes on 60% shooting, went positive
>>152844716i mean he's working hard since he doesn't want to get cut yet.
>>152844716did you know this wasn't the first game of the season
Do you think Jokic requests a trade out of embarassment? He had this whole bench squad for years and couldn't threepeat with them.
this win is somehow better than 2 seasons ago when deandre jordan and reggie jackson' nuggets somehow won against the clippers
>>152844685Keep him and cut Strawther desu
Apologize.
the truth is coming out. jokic is surrounded by vultures. by jokic merchants hogging minutes for themselves so they can leech of jokic while the real talent rots on the bench.
>>152844752That one was crazy, legacy unc game
>>152844704They never should have been gifted a top 5 pick. Now they're going to waste Edgecombs career the same way they wasted Maxey's.
what's happening with the warriors
>>152844741>>152844773trueeeeewe will string jamal murray's bum ass up from a lightpost and let jalen pickett shine
>>152844784Jimmy Butler. The downfall of the team he's on was just accelerated because he's old
>>152844703listen to him speak and be even more unnerved
>>152844784Lower-Mid team with no real center.
>>152844658keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek got put in a mixtape by jalen pickett boy watch him dance
Some of you niggas are genuinely retarded and clearly dont know ball
>>152844808Relax Jamal
>>152844796https://www.reddit.com/r/denvernuggets/comments/1ijk3g0/calvin_booth_nuggets_gm_i_think_the_best_way_to/lmao wtf
>>152844808ikrpickett truthers BEEN saying to give him some run since russ days and these newfags act like it's a revelation out the blue
Who knew Jokic was the one holding the Nuggets back from beating Embiid LOL
>>152844469>>152844482both retards that need to kill themselves.
>Suns
>>152844658pickett is legit 1 foot shorter than him lmao
My celties :)
those are swaggyyy :)

>>152844670basado

>>152844579how the fuck the nuggets win
>>152844863Sure bro. Throw MPJ for Luka in there too.
I just found out that there's a guy called Nikola Jovic who is writing the script what the heck kek
>>15284487676ers are ass, Nuggets shot 50% from 3.
>>152844876Nuggets play better without Jokic. Zeke Nnaji is unlocked.
>>152844845kek
>>152844882No one wants Luka
BAZEKEGA
warriors aren't coming back from this are they
PG makes more than tonight's nuggets starting lineup
Daron Holmes must be sweating right now
>Emb-fraud losing to a G League teamlmao>HIMMY playing with Snoop Fagg commentary a gift and a curse
>>152844919it's even worse, you can add the rest of the bench who played (nnaji, tyson, strawther and curtis jones) and it still doesn't come close to what PG earns
Why did Jimmy lose all his fire and become Currys bitch
whoever thought Snoop should commentate for a whole game should be publicly hanged
>>152844919fuck "starting," EVERY player that played tonight for the nuggets cost $26.4 million this yeartobias harris is making more, nfernee simmons is mking more, cj mccollum is making more
>>152844919>>152844956Don't hate the player, hate the game (of basketball).
i've seen enough christian braun needs to get traded and give his minutes to zeekkkk
unironically Snoop should be castrated
what is this refball for the clippers
>>152845022The game (of basketball) is to be sold, not told
Is Embiid gonna duck Pickett from now on?
OKC when no white man to help them
Kerrbros...
luka-trae duo will be money
>steve kerr gets a tech and ejected for the refs missing a clear goaltend>they never ended up giving them the pointsyo what the fuck
>>152845041iHart and Carushit keeps the lights on in that poverty franchise
>>152845049the first ever team to average a defensive rating of 200
>>152845049If Trae is talking to Rob I hope we benefit from being the third team at least
>>152845049That team will average 20 turnovers per game
HEADS WILL ROLL
>>152845049Heat is the only team that makes sense. Lakers would be so ass with Trae there. Celtics ain't trading for him. And I don't even know wtf he's thinking about with the Wiz
>>152845049if we're making outrageous requests then I prefer a thicc kween to arrive at my house and claim my dick
>>152845099He'll be the face of the franchise if he's not going win he might as well run the show
>tfw we have vintage Kawhi back
ok i know why OKC is losing nowbecause jokic isn't gonna be in the MVP race, luka probably not either, and they needed sga to fall to the level of his opposition to look like there's competition
Whose fucking idea was it to have snoop dog call a game.
>>152845219some jewizzle my nizzle
Wonder how annoyed Kahwi is that he actually has to lock in and play well through the whole regular season
my goat...currgod...
Wayoff P really started his contract washed up
>>152845262That embiid contract is diabolical
Ayesha getting bulled out forsure
>Steph fouled out his bussy needs a break
>>152845268It was the worst foul I've seen. Like he was quitting and did it on purpose.
>>152845022Why?
Jimmy Butler free throws to win the game calling it
if hypothetically I began recording games would anyone want to see them uploaded?

ummm, we're not gonna talk about HIMMY and that airball
Butler forced to pump Ayesha tonight as restitution
lmfao I've lost so much money tonight over these retarded game ending shots
How many years has it been since Jimmy Butler has done anything?
Everyone acting like the sky is falling when my Lakies are actually the 3 seed.

never punished
>zubac -7>lopes +8
>CP gets fired>Clippers finally winning again
So SGA and Jokic were BOTH frauds all along
Fucking cunt balmer paid off the refs. Unreal. He needs to be stripped of the team and sent to jail

Where's that belt to ass don't run when it comes poster?
g league nuggets really beat the 5th best team in the east btw
Bulls will win the Play in....
>>152845823They can go over the salary cap with AR because bird rights, they’ll have a lot of money to play with
I hope the Thunder keep losing so Presti makes a trade. Get rid of Ous, Joe, and maybe even Dort for a real 6'9/ 6'10 shooter.
>>152845903>>152845903I keep seeing Thunder fans putting down the idea that a change may be necessary but their offense seems to have been figured out enough that they can get sucker punched by Charlotte lol
Thoughts on Michael Porter Jr having the highest +/- in December + 2026 for a first option? He is +108 and is +30 compared to the next highest first option. He is the MVP of the league.
>>152845952No one gives a fuck
>>152845952lol @ jokic being almost the same shade as paolo
>>152845957seething
>>152845952more like michael sharter/pooper
>>152845943It's not just their offense, it's their defense. They can't rebound, can't box out, and are refusing to defend corner 3s, which is letting bums like Goodwin have career nights. Dort and Wiggins have both regressed, and Joe was never good in the first place. Add in Shai's touch clearly being off since the last Spurs game when he injured his finger, and Jdub still not having full use of his hand back, and their awful shooting is getting exposed. Fanboys are coping about the team being defending champs and that they'll figure it out, but they're really looking like they're gonna repeat what happened to the Celtics last season and end up as a second round exit against a team that's fully studied them, provided they don't make trades or line up changes.
>>152845987I've noticed that their shooting has absolutely gone to shit. Also yeah idk if it's Iharts absence but they aren't able to strangle offenses anymore it seems. guys can get to the paint or cut a lot easier
>>152845987Just use a gorillion picks and get Derrick White
>there's no way the thunder lose to the suns>lose>there's no way the thunder lose to the hornets>blown teh fuck out>there's no way the thunder lose to the jazz>?
>>152845952Wow! MPJ must be leading the nets to a #1 seed! :)
>>152846001My dream is for them to spend a lot on a lemon tbqh
>>152846001They don't need more guards. They need interior defense and shooting.
>>152846007Derrick is the heart and sovl of the Celtics and always has been
>>152845952>Cooper Flagg +3IMPVCT
>>152846013Whatever requires 4 draft picks and regresses works for me
>>152846012Aaron gordon would unironically be perfect for the thunder
>>152845952when he subs in the nets go on a 10-0 or greater run. Every time. When he subs out they go on 2-20 runs. This must have been what it was like watching wilt play vs plumbers
>>152846036Any team in the league would want Gordon on his contract. He's pretty much the ideal roleplayer now that he's become a lethal shooter.
a bunch of teams need to pick up the phone
>>152844193>ref wearing 77Is he trolling?
>>152846012Yeah I suppose Dort wouldn’t need to be replaced by a guard necessarily. Who even does those things and if affordable though?
Nuggets just continue to prove how overrated Jokic is
>>152846073AG, DFS. But lmao a contender ain't trading you those. You might get rui. Since the lakers are retarded. PJ ain't a bad idea either.
>>152846073Trey Murphy is the dream, but even PJ Washington would be a huge upgrade

Will a trade finally bloody happen
>>152846115yea

>>152846142You fucking kangapoo cunt you picked two of the biggest underachievers who never won
You didn't forget to take this right, anons?
>>152846149I think that was his point
jokic not even playing and rent free as always in his haters heads, keka legend even when he's out of commission
>>152846182nobody fucking tells me how to gamble safely, and maximally and which app to download, i dont even know what parlays are, so i can never make up the money that the government is stealing from me for education. im also scared of addiction because im impulsive, so i want to be able to gamble on nights like this safely.the return on this one looks insane. $4 for $400? i almost understand gambling addictions.
Why the fuck was Jokic in philadelphia but not in brooklyn? Is he scared of MPJ?
>>152846228he was too busy visiting and sodomizing Michael Porter Sr. in his jail cell
https://x.com/nuggets/status/2008405301209317836>jokic doesnt give a single fuck about their bench beating the 76ers based
>nuggers
So the nuggets never needed a backup center all along. Apologize to booth… how did embiid not rape them with 50 points running small ball the whole game? Im watching the highlights and zeke nnaji looks like lebron james out there getting to the basket
>the Pharaoh of Philadelphia
So what happened with the 76ers?
>>152846355It started with this thing called the process
Kawhi went from being in a massive scandal earlier this season to being shilled
>>152846361I'm a tell you like a nigga told mecash rule everything around me
Wemby is legit the only player who can dethrone Lebron as the GOAT. (Only if he doesn't get injured)
>>152846306>Yes I got them watching highlights just how you wanted rabbi now we can get away with as much rigging as we want
Wait so the clippers win by one, but there was a goaltend by the clippers that never got issued? How rigged is this shit
>>152846408Obviously
When’s Jokic supposed to be back? Is he guaranteed to miss 17 games?
>>152846378lol. he will never be better than currgoat. screencap.
>>152846431He's just gonna choke in the playoffs again anyway. Jokic only got lucky the year his team went up against dinosaurs in the playoffs and the finals was against an injured 8th seed team. That was the only year he survived the playoffs.
>>152846457Fact
>>152846457>plays no defenseNot GOAT material. Wemby is a true GOAT contender. AD would have been if he stayed healthy, that guy is a volume scorer and actual rim protector.
>>152846431he probably will be available on limited minutes by 3rd week just to keep the minimum amount of games for AS
>>152846461Type this again but without crying
>>152846477I just did. Jokic's losses actually won me a lot of money so I'm grateful for his chokejobs.
>>152846474>AD would have been if he stayed healthylol, youre retarded.
>>152846495Other than Wemby, AD is the only one who can regularly drop 40+ points and still protect the rim. No one else but Wemby but can do that.Curry can't do that.Jokic can't do that.Luka can't do that.SGA can't do that.Antman can't do that.Sadly, AD is too fragile so Wemby is the one true GOAT contender.
Prime AD and prime Wemby will be the same player. DPOY candidates with overrated but still good offence. Neither come close to GOAT.
>>152846502Surely Embiid is your goat in that case
In hindsight wouldn't Jaylen + picks for Luka be way better and more win/win? Would've prevented the ack and slotted Tatum into a comfy number 2 like he always should have been, assuming Coop ends up where he does both franchises are happy. Swap out Tatum with Jaylen here idrc
>>152846505>DPOY candidates with overrated but still good offence.Retard youre replying to, thinks AD was ever a top tier offensive player, just because "Hes dropped 40!!!" doesnt know ball.
>Leviticus is back with a VPNI welcome your seethe
>>152846518“Two way player” meme melts people’s brains
How butthurt is /pol/ gonna be when Nicole Chokic chokes again?
>>152846553>Crying over /pol/ out of nowhere awardYou are sick
>>152846569Yes, I'm crying tears of joy again when I win more money from his losses. I profit from your depression.
>>152846518It's the bubble effect.If some players played most of their career the way they did in 2020, they'd be top 20 all time
>>152846378>lebron is only good cause he big>wemby is only good cause he tallFitting, they lucky they didnt play against prime shaq
>>152846573Just make sure the groceries get bagged lil bro
>>152845324MOM MADE PIZZA ROLLS
>>152846061
Why even compare AD and Wemby?? The difference isn’t even just the height and length. It’s MENTALITY. Wemby has drive and main character energy that AD never had, nor imposed. Jokic is not a two way player, therefore not in my all time top 15 yet. Okay im done now
>>152846517In hindsight, he also doing Luka impression today.
>>152846796How many little girls did you abuse today ya fucking sexpat pervert?
>>152846796At least 12 of those missed shots would be threes if it were Luka
>>152846812It's better to keep shooting and keep missing thougheverbeit, you only miss what you don't chuck
>>152846505Wemby is going to have a 60-70 point game in his career.
>>152846810What you do you call Australian version of Indian again?
>>152846819Definitely better to chuck memes than middies (like Brown does)
This dude shai zesty alexander shot 21 plus times in three quarters and only scored 7 of em
if the nuggets want to maximize their roster, they need to move watson to the starting lineup even when everyone's healthy. try to keep watson happy with the starting sg role going forward and also try and trade either braun or johnson or both to get enough space to sign him an extension in the summermurray/pickett/brownwatson/hardaway/strawtherjohnson/braun/tysongordon/jones/holmesjokic/valanciunas/nnaji
>>152847033Nuggets are NEVER winning again, lil nigga. They got lucky they were up against an injured 8th seed and a bunch of retirement home teams in their only championship run. It was a fluke
Nuggets are winning it all I'm afraid
Just woke up to nipple beating ohgayshiz and the hospital Nuggies beating 76ers. Can't believe i missed out on so many kino games
>>152847503It was indeed very kino
A lot of NBA teams right now are playing very fast. It feels like they're following the game plan of OKC.
>>152847503how in the fuck you slept through the entire morning and noon and just woke up now

Daily reminder that the Thunder are frauds and the NBA is currently GOATic and everyone else.>B-But he doesn’t play deeeeeeefenseThen why are his defensive numbers prime-Lebron-DPOY-candidate level?
i went back to check 73-9 warriors record and most of their losses actually came from some of the shittiest team back then :)

>>152844632Val out
>Kerr ejected>Curry fouled outDraymond can't win with these cats
>>152847898They aren't. Nuggets have never been better than an 8th ranked defense in the Jokic era, and were almost the worst defensive team in the league when Braun and Gordon were out with Jokic still playing.

Day 2 of no sugar, pray for my succes bruddas.Also Flagg is da truth
>>152847898>>152847915Idk why /nba/ loves to use defensive metrics to determine a player's defense. Yes, Jokic is the best player right now. But defensive metrics are extremely flawed measures.For example, Brown has a slightly worse defensive rating than Luka. But everyone knows no way Brown is worse on defense than Luka. Coaches know Luka is bad on defense, so they assign him to defend the weakest opponent, but Brown can defend multiple positions including star players, of course he's gonna get scored on at times.The only reliable defensive metric is team defensive rating because it averages out everyone's contribution. Individual defensive metrics are heavily flawed and don't take into account context.>In before gaylaysia, sea monkey, thirdies
When I'm on the court, I play EXACTLY like Luka Doncic.
>>152847898I am a Jokic fan, but defensive plus minus metrics aren't reliable in a vacuum. If you want to see a more reliable metric, compare diff. Jokic rim opp FG diff is 2.0% and his RIMDFGA 10.5. Now if you take an elite defender like Anthony Davis is status respectively is -10.4% and 9.5
>>152848156>Also Flagg is da truthHe's got a fairly easy schedule coming up so hopefully he can stop being a bust again and start playing like an all star again. If not then Knueppel will run away with roty.
>>152848165Jaylen Brown is legitimately not a good defender, he fouls a lot and doesn't force many turnovers>>152848204Jokic hasn't defended well this season, but rim protection isn't the only aspect of defensive impact. Steals, deflections, rebounds, and foul aversion all matter too. It's not simply a fluke that over thousands and thousands of possessions Jokic's defensive RAPM is comparable to Bron, Kawhi, Jrue Holiday, etc.
>>152848156>Day 2 of no sugar, pray for my succes bruddasYou tryna lose weight bro?>>152848214Nipple deserves to win ROTY. He is the most efficient and consistent scorer out of all the rookies

>>152843967i remember readin posts about how his FTA is way down therefore the okc thunder dont need refs to carry them, meanwhile they're also getting slapped by shitties, so uhhh yea they do, and they need it bad
>>152848512Ngl I was harsh on Cade but he's been impressive. Still interested to see what he looks like in the playoffs, because last year was ugly
wow the nuggets got a terrible whistle all game last night and stlil managed to win
how the hell is kawhi so good when he plays? he's injured all the time but when he's on the court, he's absolutely still an apex tier superstar. and he's 34 now too. you'd think an older player with a bum leg wouldn't be able to do this.to anyone who follows him - does he literally play with pain all the time? because of that degenerative thing.
>>152848262I am looking here on nbarapm, and Jokic's DRAPM raking last year was 83(1.2). His best rank is 16 in 2018 with a sample size of 3 years. Lebron last year's raking was 144(0.6) and his best raking is 2021, where he placed 7(3.4). Which, of course, sounds like nonsense. There is no way that Lakers lebron is more dominant on defense compared with Miami lebron. And I agree that rim protection is not the only thing that matters, but is the most important thing when looking at a center's defense. Second is rebounds, and Jokic is probably the best in the league.
>>152848512Pistons had them in hell, second half was a massacre
>>152843904>celtics #2 in the east without TatumTime for some uncomfortable conversations
>>152848639Lebron's best 3 year defensive RAPM was 2009-2011 according to nbarapm. The stat was from xrapm, Jokic's 30 year defensive RAPM is 96th percentile while Lebron's is 97th percentile (although Bron's numbers are probably tanked slightly by him starting his career earlier and continuing to play despite being washed). Obviously Bron was a better defender, but Jokic's career impact is undersold by ignoring plus/minus based stats and just looking at rim protection
Wait, youre telling me okc got BLOWN OUT by charlotte??
>>152848639>>152848262>Jaylen Brown is legitimately not a good defender, he fouls a lot and doesn't force many turnoversJaylen has a lot of fouls because he contests a lot, and he contests a lot because the mark of a good defender is lowering the opponents around him FG% and not taking risk steals and getting blown by like Luka.>>152848831I think Jokic is OK to good on defense thanks to his basketball IQ. He knows how to position himself and when to try to interrupt and his ability to get contested defensive rebounds is the best in the league. I just don't think he is elite.
>>152848586their role players just couldn't miss from 3
>>152848512Who can stop these pistons from going all the way?
>>152848816that Tatum wasn't even the best player on his team and probably not even 2nd? Losing a starter hurts obv but whether or not Tatum performed largely never affected Boston's success.
dumb fucking retards in this thread using drapm not even remotely understanding any of these stats. fucking dumb fuck retards lmao.
>>152848878>Jaylen has a lot of fouls because he contests a lot, and he contests a lot because the mark of a good defender is lowering the opponents around him FG%He doesn't contest a lot at the rim, 9th percentile in rim contests for small forwards this season.>not taking risk steals and getting blown by like LukaSome of the best perimeter defenders in the league are also the most "blown by" (Wagner, DFS, Holiday). Often it's better to gamble on steal and deflections than to let a player shoot and contest it. Caruso and Wallace have shown that the formula is low fouls + high forced turnovers, let the bigs protect the rim.>I just don't think he is elite.Fair, I wouldn't call him elite either, just underrated, and he's been pretty poor recently especially.
>>152848995What don't we understand about DRAPM? It's not really a hard concept to grasp for anyone above probably like 90 IQ
>>152848816Rewatch the 2024 finals and look how they were guarding him, im sure you know everything and that hes useless but the mavs were not acting like it with tripling and quadrupling him

Genuinely how does a playoff team lose to the hospital Nuggets at home? Nnaji, Pickett, Tyson?! I would resign if I were a 67ers coach
>>152848500SGA's ability to score is based on the defenders knowing that if they go within 10' of him its a foul. OKC doesn't just need his points from FTs, his ability to score FGs disappears if defenders can defend him. Without his superstar whistle he is a 15ppg 35% FG shooter, absolute crap.
>>152848639
How come when Jokic got his 30/20/20 triple dub that only counted as one triple double? Shouldn't it have counted as two?
>>152849477>Without his superstar whistle he is a 15ppg 35% FG shooter, absolute crap.While I do not agree with this, it is funny that people pretend that points without free throws is some gotcha argument against calling a player a free throw merchant. Obviously, how much the refs call fouls in your favor is going to affect how the defense reacts. They are going to be afraid of getting physical against players famous for getting calls like Shai, Luka, Brunson, Austin. And this is going to help with normal scoring. Just see how far the defender tries to keep himself when Austin reaves does a layup.
>>15284956530 itself is a triple double, so 30/20/20 is actually 7 triple doubles.
>>152849466>Genuinely how does a playoff team lose to the hospital Nuggets at homeHalf of the playoff teams in the East would be lottery teams in the West

>>152849477>Without his superstar whistle he is a 15ppg 35% FG shooterHe was at that PPG at 47% FG his second year retard, long before he got his "superstar whistle". Where were dipshits like you when the Pacers were triple teaming him and handchecking him every possession?

SGA really is a litmus test for how well a person knows ball. Niggas really think Every star player except him is getting hacked and fouled, and that a guy averaging 24 PPG without free throws is getting fouled less than bums like Deni Avdiya and Austin Reaves.
Nigga talks about knowing ball then glazes SGAY

Now that football season is winding down, I'm gonna be focusing more on bball. I'll try to get picks up for every day. Kind of a weak card tonight, but I got a couple plays. Let's smash those bookies.>Pacers +6.5If you're betting Cavs this year, you've been lighting money on fire. If you bet $100 in them every game, you are down ~$1,400. Mitchell is ruled out (rest). Pacers are getting some guys back. Carlisle looking for his 1000th win.>Grizzlies +5.5I don't like this spot for the Spurs. First night of a b2b with Lakers up tomorrow. Wemby likely not playing. Spurs are 2-5-1 ATS as road favs.Good luck, and don't bet what you don't have.
>>152850330wemby was already doing 5 on 5 practice yesterday, this is why you have a 30% win rate
>>152850266whos going to ATL?
>>152849229it was an out of body experience, he was apart from the win
>>152849438deni is signed through 2028
>>152850352
>>152850377Rumour says CJ
>>152850377nothing for atl is concrete because they're just looking for cap filler and hopefully picks. Guys like Middleton/CJ are likely to be moved but might not end up in atl. Then you have extre guys like Whitmore, AJ Johnson, etc. who are hanging around. It's all about who jumps in as 3rd parties
So basically OKC are frauds and Denver is winning this year.
shit is lining up for celtics to win it all
>>152850352Wemby is listed as questionable. I don't care if he plays because Spurs are 10-4 without him. And I'm well over 50%. In fact, I'm 7-4 already in January.So anyways, what are your picks for tonight.>inb4 gambling is haram, inshallah Yea. Assalamu alaykum to you too, faggot.
>>152850478zbac is literal dog shit
>>152850090how cooked is embiid? didn't even try to block the shot cause he can't jump
>>152850120Retard

>>152850482>mentions wemby not playing in his prediction>actually i don't care about wemby
>>152850600you think these votes are real?
>>152850600Deni "The Real Chosen One" Avdija is just better
>>152850600Lebron is getting an honorary position from Silver until he finally decides to announce his retirement tour anytime in the next few years. He's an attention whore going to milk this out
take a look at the shit games today. what kind of trash league is this
Towns attributed his struggles to adjusting to Mike Brown's system. He is taking fewer shots and converting at significantly lower rates than during his final season with the Minnesota Timberwolves."Different system," Towns said. "It's just different."The center acknowledged making the biggest sacrifice in the new offensive scheme. Towns emphasized the team needs to refocus during their upcoming practice session."Biggest adjustment is for me. Like Mike said, I make the biggest sacrifice," Towns said. "We're figuring it out. We've got a long flight, a practice tomorrow, we've got to sit down and figure out who we are and how we want to get back on track."Towns' three-point shooting has also declined significantly to 35.6 percent from 42 percent last season.
>>152850612Wemby being questionable is why the spread is only -5.5. You can wait until closer to tipoff and if he plays grab the +8.5 or whatever it is. It doesn't really matter because the odds of Memphis covering will be the same. Idk how many times I have to say that injuries are baked into the spread.Spurs ATS record w/ Wemby: 9-11-2 (45%)Spurs ATS record w/o Wemby: 9-5 (64%)What we are really doing is fading Spurs on the road on the front half of a b2b with a big game tomorrow.

You're the Denver Nuggets. You just beat a fully healthy sixers with your unironic bench. Do you trade Jokic for the biggest return in trade history? He just choked two playoffs and quite frankly, two championships in a row.

>>152850977>I was accused of having a 30% win rateand you responded by posting a handpicked subset of games from one app, and then a different month across 3+ appsif someone said they had a secret stocktrading formula and when asked they happily showed you 1 month's profits on a single exchange, or another month's profits across all exchanges (where they went negative on that first exchange), but adamantly refused to take 10 seconds to show you their gains over a full year, trying to dodge the question 15 different ways, what would you think about their credibility and success? would you trust or follow them?
