Jokic edition Previous Ellison >>152868523
>>152880526Do zoomers just not realize that comparing stats across eras doesn't mean anything. With elevated pace, bigger emphasis on spacing, no handchecking, the fact no one boxes out or plays any defense, and the fact you literally have to murder someone to get a travel or carry or offensive foul called, Jordan would average 40 in today's league.

Jeet already seething 2 posts in
The thing that matters most in basketball is the eye test and Jokic getting assists off dribble handoffs, uncontested defensive rebounds, and 5 foot hook shots on single soft single coverage against 220lb twinks doesn't pass the GOAT eyetest to me. SGay pushing people and packpedaling to shoot open 18 footers doesn't either
>Jeet already seething 2 posts inAAACCCCCKKKKKKKK
>>152880807
>>152880710Erm Zone defense and uhhhh actually defense is better
>>152880710What's ur point?Wilt would've dropped 50 on jordan's ass in his era
AD dead again
Feel a bit bad for Trae. He’s le wrong generation. Him and Bagley should form a club.
>>152881062will he ever have 40 game season again
>>152881062He likes wearing street clothes more than wearing an NBA jersey
The Mavs is fucking up tanking this year so much that it might fuck the franchise up for the next decade. They need another young player to put next to Flagg.
>>152881130Flagg gonna be too good to tank, feel a little bad for him. He's easy to build around tho
>>152881130You guys always talk about tanking as if it's the greatest achievement a franchise can aspire toCan you provide an example of a tank job being a good thingMeaning, provide the years of the tankAnd then show me the success that followed.Genuinely interested in thisBecause I think the tanking meme is just stupidBut open to being proven wrong
>>152881174The mavs have no picks for the next few years after this one
flagg cant win with these cats
gobert needs to be arrested
>>152881149They don’t own their pick for 4 years so it doesn’t matter after this year. It’s their one chance to tank. They should just put him on a minutes restriction and roll out the end of their bench. Or make the dude play 44 minutes.Problem is the RotY race is so strong that fuckery could lead to bad vibes.>>152881174Uhh OKC? Golden State?
why does kevin love randomly decide to not play games, he's been doing this for 5 years
>>152881272Other examples of successful tanking - Cavs after LeBron left the first time. Even the Lakers after Kobe’s Achilles injury.
>>152881174Spurs getting Duncan was the most successful tank
>>152881329he legit has a terrible case of depression. think he's on an an hero watch.
>>152881329He had a legitimate anxiety attack at some point, and for anyone that really has, that shit fucks with all your nerves and systems.
speaking about depression, it made me remember ricky rubio and wondering what he's doing nowadays. so apparently he's still playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD9IWP-gEpE and look and beholdthe lakers legend Marcelo Huertas is still playing at the ripe age of 42yo
>>152880526Look, if you're gonna use averages for a two-year period, then neither of these scrubs crack the top-5.
>>152881839Still not LeBron
why is bron always at this angle?
>>152881871hides the balding
the nuggets are gonna lose a few games after jokic gets back because he won't be used to the fast paced play they are operating at now. they're operating like the spurs/warriors where the ball just floats around and everyone is looking for the next guy to pass it to, but when jokic gets back he's gonna take the pass and make a decision. it's gonna be interesting to see whether him and the team can adapt to this change in pace or if they have to make big changes
>>152881871cause he's a 6'9 god

>>152882030Where do you get the number they're playing faster without Jokic. https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-fastest-pace-since-31-december-2025They're not even in this list.
i don't understand gamblers.
>>152882211nuggets obviously dont need jokic so we'll take that huge overpay contract off your hands and give you draft picks
>>152882199because i've watched the games. with jokic they play a lot of two man game. but without him it's a lot of hot potato.
It's pretty funny how the Celtics 'cord dissapeared off the face of the earth until their team startedcwinning again. Pussy ahh featherweight fans. Also confirms that leafjeet was is from their 'cord and was just doing things solo for a while. BAWBcord never forgets. BAWBcord never forgives.
>>152882304jokic isn't as slow as you think it is, at some point they were the fastest team last season and he's playing.
>>152882346>jokic isn't as slow as you think it iswhat did he mean by this
>>152882346it's because jokic would hold onto the ball for a few seconds while he figured out the play, or took it iso. now the ball is constantly moving around because everyone wants to find the open shot
I think the funniest part of all this is the Nuggets didn't need to overreact and trade MPJ AND a 1st round draft pick away. Scam Johnson and Valanciunas are all out and they're playing like this.
>>152882476playing like what? 3-2 vs east shitters and going down to the wire with the likes of the leafs?
All they needed to do was buy Watson a hairdresser
>>152880805*fouls you*
>>152882476Val in the playoffs is gonna be their 4th most important player
>>152881272Flagg isn’t too good to tank yet. Young rookies never are. The sensible move is to trade AD, and keep Kyrie out until next season. If they draft well they’ll 100% be able to find a cornerstone for this team in the late lottery. They probably won’t draft well, but that’s their fault.
>>152882577the truly sensible move is to trade both for 4 first round picks and 2/3 serviceable role players
>>152882329I'm here while Lakers get blown out and spanked and they ran for the hills for months lmao, chomocord is so shameless.
>>152882577Bra ngl flagg is already better than a lot of first options in the league lol, maybe im wrong
>>152881032Jordan slander gives me the ick
>>152881174Okc you utter virgin
>>152880526I don't even understand what point OP's pic is trying to make. MJ was 35 that season and Jokic was 29 for his.
>>152882752It's not some argument or point, it's just agenda posting. It isn't that serious
>>152882551they are fouling him
>>152882445jokic can play fast, the number showed that in last season. it's just adelman's tactical decision that they're not as fast but they still win games.
many salty blacks ITT
>>152882860delicious
looking at pictures of beautiful, unattainable actresses and models is good for my mental health and nobody can tell me otherwiseanyway im getting sick of my fellow rockets fans defending imeits clear that his only idea when we lose is>uhhhh we shoulda guarded more on defensewhich is good when youre trying to bring a band of miscreants and fuckups from being 20-60 to .500 or a bit better but not good when youre trying to compete with elite teams that know what theyre doing and have a plan on both ends
>>152882949>anyway im getting sick of my fellow rockets fans defending imeIs there a contender that has fans who don't hate their coach lol. Also I agree, he's more of a ceiling raiser. He has no clue how to get to the next level, he has the tools to make Rockets into an OKC level contender
>>152882592Eventually trading Kyrie will be the right move, probably. I wouldn’t rush it though, there’s no need past this season to be bad (because they don’t have their own picks), so they might as well let Kyrie rebuild his trade value. It’s also probably beneficial for Flagg and whoever gets drafted in 2026 to have a genuinely elite guard running their offence.>>152882695He’s a bit inconsistent and is still getting used to different coverages. Maybe next season he’ll be dragging them to wins, but they don’t really look like a winning team at the moment even when he plays well. There are plenty of lower end first options who are on losing/tanking teams after all
>>152880710You can't use logic with zoomers because they are retarded
>>152880805Shaq would have Jokic sitting on the bench with foul trouble every single time they faced off. Then Shaq would also have 40-50 points. Dwight owned Jokic in 2020, imagine prime Shaq would have swept him easily
ZoomGODS making boomKEKOLDS seethe like usual
>>152882346Saar mashallah saar
RBLwe relly oucchhheeaaa
>>152880710I'm not even a basketball elitist or purist but it really is insane to me how the let modern players literally do anything they want these days. It's gotten to the point where literally, not even exaggerating, literally everyone in the league carries the ball.
>>152880805>uncontested rebounds>fake assistsThat’s the other Euro
>>152883043everyone is traveling now. Grayson Allen has his own signature travel. Its fucking wild. those refs never miss it when part of your shoe is on that out of bound line but a travel, nope.
>>152882674On God. We BAWBs be da only real niggas in here, shieeet.
Damn reddit really ate up that woofs shit lmao
>>152883283Yeah that one dude from the Lakers just recently had some crazy as fuck travel a couple days ago and the refs magically missed it. One ref missing it, I totally get, but what's the point of having 2 other faggots on the court if they aren't going to make calls that are obvious as fuck? What was the point of them even adding a 3rd ref when it seems the officiating is just as fucking horrendous.

You know what? I just don't like em
Why is everyone clowning Trae Young for being poor on defense when Jokic, Luka, Steph Curry, KD, etc. also suck. His role on the court isn't to be a rim protector, he's meant to be a scorer.
>>152884068He’s a different level of bad, legitimately worst in the league tier. Also Jokic and Luka constantly get their defence criticised
>>152884068He plays good defense. Hes just extremely short and small
>>152884068Because he's both worse offensively and defensively than all of those players. Midgets are being phased out of the NBA
Meet number 19 man
>>152884068>KD>Bad defencePeople just say anything these days
I didn't see this yesterday. He probably won't be playing in any real games any time soon, but maybe start G league next month?
>>152884202This kid has no balls or immune system, he's never going to be a player. Sucks, he had a lot of potential. Hopefully he made enough to live a good life
>>152884068There's a difference between bad and awful, and Trae doesn't touch those guys in terms of scoring when the refs stopped giving him the whistle for baiting, all he does is chuck up a ton of shotsHe's an elite distributor, good handle, never afraid of the momentBut that ain't good enough for the amount of cap he takes up, unless your goal is to sell some jerseys and play-in tickets
None of the Pistons best players are even in their primes yet. They're all 24 years old in their third seasons lol. They're going to be a dynasty in five years. People need to stop taling about OKC and start talking about the Pistons.
Lebron is the best chasedown blocker in NBA history.
>>152883636Even adjusted for increased pace and efficiency, prime Jokic is only slightly behind prime MJ as a scorer, to the extent that it’s more than made up for by Jokic’s assist volume. If MJ was a better player than Jokic is, it’s because of defence.
>>152884328Probably, but didn't Tayshaun Prince basically build an entire career out of being good at that? I'd say he has an argument too.
>>152884334>adjusted for increased paceThere's WAY too many variables for this to ever be an honest direct comparison.>Jordan played in a league with more defense and physicality making his points more impressive somewhat>But Pippen and Rodman usually guarded the best player on the opposite team while a whiteboy guarded Jordan>Jokic is a center, centers are supposed to be the rim protector but he fails at his position's role>But Jokic is also impressive with the 3pt shot, something Jordan is mediocre at>Jordan played in a league with less memechucking, which is impressive because he has to find his way to the basket past all the big men that dominated the paint in his era>But Jokic is playing in a league with more concentrated international talent with infinitely deeper bags than Jordan's competition>Jordan is average height for an NBA player, he usually has to finesse his way around while Jokic is top 2 heaviest players meaning he can weightbully and shoot over most of the league>But Jokic is slow and has to compete with today's hybrid centers with freak athleticism that have handles, do hesis, shoot 3 pointers, Jokic basically only has his height and his mind against these freaks of nature>But Jordan got blocked once by Mugsy Bogues who is 5'3 even though it's not a deciding moment this is still foul>But Jokic repeatedly lost to the Wizards last season, is a serial flopper like Luka, is an actual cone on defense not even putting his hand up to contest a lot of times, plays a losing style of basketball like Trae and Harden. Jokic's playstyle is basically to pad the stat sheet and not actually win.
>>152884420Adjusting for league average efficiency accounts for much of that. In general I agree that there are so many variables that comparing their individual skillsets and accolades is pointless, but many of those variables become irrelevant when comparing production relative to their era. Maybe the better term is ‘more productive’ player rather than ‘better’ player.>Jokic's playstyle is basically to pad the stat sheet and not actually win.That’s just provably not true, if Jokic were some empty stats guy it’d show up in +/- data.
>>152884539Actually it is true, Jokic's playstyle is to give him inflated meaningless inflated stats while letting the other team win by being a liability on defense. Jokic has been in the NBA for a long time and only survived the playoffs once when Jamal Murray got good in that one playoffs. Because Jokic doesn't play a winning style of basketball. He wants it to be all offense and no defense.
>>152884334look at the average fouls bro, there are two ways u can look at it actually, u could say fewer fouls are being claled today, but what is really happening is that becase you cant check anyone, there are fewer opportunities to foul. 22 fouls per game vers 18 then. guys were getting hacked. just on that, you cant say jokic is there iwth mj on scoring, he's playing in a league wehre you're completley free to put up shots without a care in the world
>>152882805*hacks you*>>152882990Imagine Shaq trying to keep pace in the modern NBA. The man would eat, undoubtedly (lol) and his teams would be constantly playing from behind.
>>152884641If someone as slow and unathletic as Jokic can do well in today's league, Shaq would be fucking unstoppable in this era.
>>152884654'fraid so
>>152884591>paraGOY
I’ve been practicing shooting an hour a day for 10 years now. I’m still nowhere near as good as Steph at it. How the fuck is he so good. It pisses me off
>>152884202lmao he has one ball just like hitler
>>152884166Flagg damned near got a Tripoli Dublin yesterday
betslop was 0-3 again yesterday
>>152884654Do you think Shaq could be the point of attack in a modern NBA offense? I'm not even memeing here. If he was a better team guy who would actually get his perimeter shooters involved, absolutely I see him dominating like he did back in the 90s/00s, but I think modern pace and a one-dimensional game would be a liabilty some nights. He would still be a terror in the playoffs when the game slows down.I see people discrediting some of Jokic's success because it's "the worst big man era of all time", but I think people gloss over the fact that the responsibilities and expectations of an NBA C today are vastly different than 25 years ago.
>>152884562The only way to determine whether a player impacts winning or has empty stats over a long period of time is RAPM, and Jokic has an all time great RAPM. A few playoff losses are much more dependent on variables out of his control than thousands of possessions of adjusting +/- data are. >>152884591That’s why you adjust for league average efficiency to see who was better relative to the competition and the rules which existed when they played
>>152884703
>>152884736I thought you were dead>>152884724The term empty stats implies that things like assists and points don't literally get you closer to winning. Ofc I understand what impact means, but good PRA and negative impact is basically Trae, and while he has his issues no one would say he couldn't start on a championship team. (Not as the franchise player tho that's for sure)
>>152884849The thing is, stats are rarely "empty" themselves, they're usually just counteracted by other issues which result in diminished winning impact. Like scoring is always positively impactful, obviously, but when it's done inefficiently it ceases to be so. Even for a guy like Lavine, who has scored at high volume efficiently for his career, the positive offensive impact is outweighed by defensive limitations.
>>152884334You fuckers never use the eye test. Jokic is not the same playmaker Jordan was, the shots Jordan created were shots that were just incredible. The shots Jokic creates are just not as exciting. Numbers are only part of what makes a player the greatest and saying otherwise is pure rhetoric.
>>152884723The expectations of 25 years ago were built around Shaq, though. It wasn't that Shaq was the ultimate evolution of the contemporary center in 1992, it was that Shaq even then was seen as a revolutionary center. Kareem, Hakeem, hell even Bill and Wilt had games much closer to Jokic. More post, more pass-heavyPeople wanted a center like Shaq because he dominated so much. Bigs of the Russell/Wilt/Kareem were all closer to Jokic than Shaq was.Jokic is great, but he didn't change the NBA around him, he was just perfect for the post-Warriors/Lebron NBA
>>152885111Tbf I said here >>152884539 that I'm talking about production, words like 'greatest' are more subjective and have other implications usually. It's fair if you prefer MJ's playmaking skill, but Jokic is the more productive playmaker of the two inarguably.
>>152885111>excitingThe shots Jordan created were facilitated by the league bending over backwards to prop up its star.>Jokic is not the same playmaker Jordan wasHe's much better. Of all the things to try and bust Jokic on lmfao
>>152885153You're right, and I agree Shaq is 1-of-1. I think it's his uniqueness that gives him an enduring legacy (4 rings also doesn't hurt). I would argue that Jokic did change the NBA, but not to the level of Shaq gameplanning, moreso the continued refinement of the position.
>>152880526Lets not get too hasty now
Nets done killed my love of this beautiful game. When will the suffering end
>>152885310Are you not loving MPJ hoops
so, what are the odds jokic gets tge trae young treatement?>get injured>team expected lose>surprisingly stay over 0.500>team has a better defensive rating now [You are here]>comeback>become a black hole on offense>defense gets infinitely worse>gets tradedbecause, genuinely, I don't see how the nuggs can keep up their defensice effort once jokic comes back
>>152885376>>become a black hole on offenseYou brain is rotted.
>>152885385okay, that was dumb on my partbut still. the team does look livelier on the defensive side right now. can we expect the same of jokic when he returns?
Wow mpj is about to get traded for 10 draft picks
>>152885394There is no way the 3-time MVP in the prime of his career loses time because the team played well above expectations in his absence. I think what you might see is Pickett getting some longer looks with Jokic/Val and Watson replacing Braun as a starter. The Nuggets finally have some depth and options are a good problem to have.

how is anthony day to davis always injuredat some point it's time to point the finger at the NBA medical staffs, who already got exposed as fraudulent last year, and it was dallas's medical staff that got whistleblown too.
>>152884723Time capsule shaw would not work in the modern NBA because he'd waste valuable seconds getting post position, then you're forcing someone to make a post entry pass which isn't practiced anymore, plus you have a zoned up defense and perimeter ball pressure making that pass even harder, and if all else fails haw a shaw is still in play. On top of that he's getting torched on defense vs modern offenses. A young player with his raw talents would likely still develop into a great NBA player but it would have to be a different kind of player, maybe more like Jojo where he just starts dribbling at the 3 point line and backs you down from there.

Hit both our plays last night, including the +150 moneyline with the Pacers. Solid card tonight. Got a few plays. Let's smash those bookies.>Grizzlies +5.5Thunder are in poor form right now. Grizzlies are in the bounce-back spot at home on a Friday night. Usually a good spot for them. Also a massive public fade as around 75% of bettors are on OKC tonight.>Suns +1.5Obviously. Just keep riding them. Knicks are the worst road ATS team (4-12).>Lakers -3.5Lakers also in the bounce-back spot at home on a Friday night. Bucks are on their 3rd straight road game. Reasonable spread for LA here.Good luck, and don't bet what you don't have.
>>152885807These posts are such a blackpill to sports betting cause in order to make actual money you'd have to be betting decent money and be hitting 65~70% of the picks at mininumMeanwhile you're probably not even at .500 and losing money and time (assume you actually bet money)However betting does make sports more fun so theres an entertainemnt aspect
>>152885444The team is good with Jokic out specially because they all benefited massively from playing & practicing with Jokic when he was healthy, he is a floor general, coach or whatever, everyone around him gets +30 IQ points after playing with him a while. MPJ is excellent in Brooklyn because he is a graduate of Jokic University
>>152884202He’s 7’1 with elite guard skills, could see him coming back in April and fixing OKC’s defense

Trade AD for Zubac cuck Collins. Im sure cooper would be more comfortable playing with a white man
this is shockingwhats going on with ant bros
>>152885863In spread sports like basketball and football, you only need to hit around 53% (at high volume) to cover the vig. In baseball and hockey, you can go under 50% and make a profit because you're only betting dogs. For instance, in December, in all sports, I went 121-90 (57.35%) and won +22.72 units. My unit system is $100 per bet, so I netted $2,271. Now if I were betting $1000 per game (like professional high rolling handicappers do), then I would've netted $22,710. The thing is, you would need a $100k bankroll since you should only be betting 1% of your overall bankroll, so as to not overleverage yourself. You can make some good money on sports betting, but it requires a lot of patience and discipline.
>>152885156>>152885165Do you watch games or do you just check stat lines and win columns? Cause if you follow the NBA in the Newspaper Jokic looks like the GOAT, if you've watched the game your whole life, you know he's just too boring to be the GOAT.
>>152885955spoken like someone who doesn't watch games

Bird swept Jordan twice in the playoffs. Jordan later said in an interview that Bird was the "dirtiest player in the league." Was MJ right or was he just being a salty bitch over getting his ass beaten?

Shams:Just in: For the first time, the Memphis Grizzlies are entertaining offers to potentially move two-time All-Star Ja Morant ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline, sources tell ESPN.Multiple teams are pursuing Morant in trade talks and rival executives believe the Grizzlies would prioritize draft picks and young players in return, sources said. Morant, 26, is under contract with the Grizzlies through the 2027-28 season.
>>152886150Fucking finally
>>152886097>Trading one injury riddled fuck for another injury riddled fuck. Are you dumb or just stupid?Expiring contract who fits the system better, obviously ideally the Hawks would attach a pick or one of their young guys. Worst case scenario is you let him walk and get fully off the AD money. Best case scenario is him being somewhat healthy, re-signing for a cheaper deal, and then offering much needed spacing.>Or did you forget we already tried the Porzingis experiment alreadyCompletely different roster

>>152886202>CaliforniaToo many gun laws
>>152885935Ant/Conley might be the worst defensive backcourt pair in the league so far this year. If you take out those minutes I think his on/off would be fine but it's a shame he doesn't play defense.
>>152886253it was actually cj mccollum and bub carrington
respectively, no one is calling about Ja morant
>>152886202apparently >we're still in on Kuminga. I dont know why GS doesnt jsut dump him off, the kings arent a threat at all and they dont even give him minutes

>>152886380well Sac isnt even offering the first round pick anymore, so...
>>152886150Ja won. You are an idiot if you think he hasnt been bad on purpose this season. You have to miss on purpose to miss those shots that badly.
>>152886197>viously ideally the Hawks would attach a pick or one of their young guys.They're not doing that. They don't want to give up Rissacher, even though their dog shit brain dead coach barely plays him and has him in minutes hell.>Worst case scenario is you let him walk and get fully off the AD money.Honestly that's best case scenario because I'd rather see how AD/Kyrie/Coop look fully healthy. It's bad enough these brain dead FO niggas didn't even wait for Luka to get healthy so we could see how this team could actually look before they went and traded him for AlwaysDisabled.> re-signing for a cheaper deal,That's not happening unless he's literally playing for peanutes. With Nico gone, they're focusing on the future and AD doesn't fit that timeline. Honestly I love Kai but they need to move on from him as well. Coop is good but he's not winning shit right now. What we need more than anything is draft capital, so they should be trying to move AD and Kyrie for picks.>Completely different rosterDoesn't matter nigga the issue was KP was always in the fucking hospital.
>>152886392being greedy doesn't pay off in nba

Maybe not, but there's still Newell and/or picks.>Honestly that's best case scenario because I'd rather see how AD/Kyrie/Coop look fully healthyThere's literally no point in seeing that. Might as well get some value out of AD while it's still possible>With Nico gone, they're focusing on the future and AD doesn't fit that timeline...they should be trying to move AD and Kyrie for picksNot sure how many picks you're expecting to get for AD, Mavs would probably need to take on some bad contracts to get a lot of picks>Doesn't matter nigga the issue was KP was always in the fucking hospital.I'd rather have half a season of KP than not
>>152886355The Pelicans there make no sense
>>152886150Will ja get a worse package than Trae? Trae wants way more money in his next contract while ja is still on a contact, but Trae has played better than Ja/
Im 100% sure Ja is going to miami
>>152886525Probably about the same. I doubt they'll have to attach picks to get rid of him or whatever
>the kings want kuminga>the kings are the ONLY team that wants kumingaEveryone on the kings org needs to be executed
>>152886551Don’t the kings have their own pick? They should just tank
>>152886564Good news for them cuz even tho theyre not trying to tank they got the worst record in the west

>>152886721How is Ja retarded? Cause he likes guns? Guns rule
>>152886716Advija is gonna get insane amounts of hate if the blazers ever become a playoff team
>>152886519>I thought the latest was that they wanted rid of him? Maybe not, but there's still Newell and/or picks.No they said they weren't trying to give him up...which again makes no sense since the coach doesn't even play him or is constantly pulling him.>There's literally no point in seeing that. Might as well get some value out of AD while it's still possibleYeah there is because when healthy AD is a top 15 player and is easily one of the best 2 way players in the game. The key word is WHEN HEALTHY. When healthy KP isn't a Top 15 player...full stop. I personally don't think we're winning with Coop any time soon but I don't mind them playing out the season and seeing how all 3 look together. They already jumped the gun trading Luka after an NBA Finals run, let's just see the team fully healthy before making any retarded moves. It also gives AD a chance to build up some value.>Not sure how many picks you're expecting to get for AD, Mavs would probably need to take on some bad contracts to get a lot of picksGobert dog shit ass went for like 100 picks. Bridges fraud ass went for like 25 picks. Even that t-rex arm bitch Bane went for like 10 picks. And AD is clearly better than all 3 when healthy. At a minimum, a healthy AD should net us at least 2-3 picks. If Kai comes back and he's still the same Kyrie, then I expect at least a 2 picks for him as well. Basically any and all draft capital we can to put younger players around Coop. We also need a young big, Gaffney doesn't fit the timeline and Lively while young is already in AD Island when it comes to injuries.>I'd rather have half a season of KP than notI'd rather not have that frail ass nigga on my team at all. No thanks.
>>152886801Guns are based. Unfortunately retards using guns is bad. And Ja is one of those retards. Also he attacked a teenager and a mall cop and threw a tantrum when his coach called him out for being a shitter.

>bought good tickets to the nets/clippers game to see kawhi and harden>kawhi gets injured the game before and is questionable just my fucking luck
>>152886716at some point players should just draw straws and start targeting these guys
>Multiple teams are pursuing Morant in trade talks and rival executives believe the Grizzlies would prioritize draft picks and young players in return, sources said. Morant, 26, is under contract with the Grizzlies through the 2027-28 season.did they see what trae just went for? what do they think the market is for an oft injured small guard who likes guns too much?
>>152886895Shoulda seen them choke against the Knicks instead of assuming he'd play against the Nets. Swear the Clippers are a Booze Cruise and Kawhi just wanted to fuck around in NYC, play at the garden and not waste a day playing a team that's worse than the Clippers.
>>152886841As he should, dude is just as bad as SGAy but does it on almost every possession
>>152886969floor seats at a nets game cost the same as nosebleeds at a knicks game
>>152886850>I personally don't think we're winning with Coop any time soon but I don't mind them playing out the season and seeing how all 3 look togetherThe team has been barely better when AD plays versus when he doesn't. He's just not a top 15 player anymore. I rate Kyrie highly but he is not turning this team into anything worthwhile>a healthy AD should net us at least 2-3 picksI think two is realistic if the players involved are bad, unless they take on some bad contracts that other teams want to get off, then it could be 3. You just can't expect much for an injury prone, declining, almost 33 year old who is earning 50 max money for another two seasons. At least getting KP gives the Mavs some flexibility, and I think he would be good for Flagg's development, which should be a priority
>>152886994The fuck is KP going to teach Coop? How to get carried to a free ring? Or how to be injury prone? I don't know what your obsession with KP is but nobody wants that nigga. Meanwhile, there are plenty of teams that think they're one AD away from being contenders. Hawks, Bucks, Lakers, and Raptors off the top of my head.
>>152886984The Clippers releasing Chris Paul should have been the point where you realized the only times that Kawhi is gonna play is gonna be when it means something to play.You straight up bitching about losing a cointoss
>>152886696Man, ain't nobody going out of their way to recruit a 5 rpg Center who is barely even 6'10". Cousins doesn't even fit the run and gun Carlisle philosophy. He was barely even a 30% 3PT shooter.
>>152886895Kawhi has given up on this season after zubac returned and killed all their momentum. Hopefully zubitch gets traded
Jokicsisters help!
>>152887051It's not about teaching him kek, it's about spacing. AD doesn't get guarded outside of the paint, so Flagg's driving lanes are always clogged when AD's on, especially given that many of the other rotational players aren't reliable shooters either, it's just a spacing nightmare.
>>152887147>Edey>literally Wemby without the midrange faggotry
> Pelicans have informed teams that Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones, Derik Queen, and Jeremiah Fears will remain with the Pelicans past the trade deadline.Are the pelicans retarded?
>>152887147Is Edey the fucking GOAT or what?
>>152887197We got Queen lil bro
>>152887197>Are the pelicans retarded?Yeah>>152887198>Is Edey the fucking GOAT or what?Yeah
>>152887197they don't have their pick so there's no reason to shed talent
>>152886978He doesn't flop like SGA. Hes just weaponized the Giannis "run into defenders and swing your arms up" for free throws to a devastating effect. Guys isnt even thinking about trying to score 90% of the time.
Kuminga is a good player

>steph dropped 50 on the spurs twice >everybody just forgets that, but obsesses over that same spurs beating OKC thriceLiterally just give steph functional teammates and stop overrating jimmy, and hes the best player in the league.
just read the past of this thread, and some dumbass nigga tried calling steph and KD a "bad defender like trae because he doesnt protect the rim". some of you niggas need to be shot and killed for being so fucking dumb, constantly exposing yourselves everyday of knowing absolutely nothing about ball and just coming here to get off your mindless AI produced takes.
>>152886876the fuck is wrong wit u nigga?
>>152886876wow jews finally figured out youth likes white egirls with racist opinions it only took them 10 years lol
>>152887506They're perfect for each other don't shoot the messenger nigga
>>152887152Nigga Coop isn't going to fucking shoot regardless the nigga is terrified. He has a god level middy but honestly his ass needs to be shooting more threes, even if he's tossing up bricks, I'd rather he get those shots up than to just keep trying to drive in the paint on 3 fucking people. And no spacing isn't going to magically solve that. Giannis has shooters and it doesn't solve shit when his shot isn't falling and they know he just wants to rim run. Coop just needs to develop a three ball but he's young as shit, he has time, putting an injury riddled KP on the team isn't going to change that.
Ja Morant did nothing wrong.
I think Cousins is retarded. But the Cavs are obviously going to trade Garland, whether this trade deadline, or more likely in the off season. I unironically think Garland has top 10 offensive players right now potential and Nash level potential. But the Cavs are expecting too much from a guy who just came back from Injury, and is like a blatant negative defensively (although the Cavs finally figured out how to hide him in like the last 5 minutes yesterday, but he was getting destroyed by gobert screens, and the Cavs doubling Ant almost every time didnt help)So whos trading for Garland?
>>152887696offcourt stuff aside, he hasn't gotten better at all and in many ways has regressed
My Larry Bird (sharpshooting rebounder) leads the league in every statistical category
>>152887147Now chart that with opponent rim average total scoring including from FTs and you'll find that Jokic beats all by a wide margin.
What team gets Morant? It has to be the Heat right? Maybe the Wolves? Ja and Ant would appeal to the YNs

>cp3 actually isnt getting traded
Detroit doesnt want to make any trades. Enjoy the first round exit retards.
If Trae were a chad like Kispert, and Kispert looked homeless like Trae, that trade would've never happened. Blackpill.
>>152888066Kill yourself subhuman retard, you dont even understand anything about these stats. Subhuman fucking retard. Curry shot above 43% from 3 for 3 years before Draymond was ever a starter. MPJ played with a objectively superior (Bigger, and Better roll/pick and pop threat) screener in Jokic, alongside with Jamal Murray, a pullup shooter so consistent, that since 2020, hes consistently shot above 40% on pull up 3s, and is one of the few alongside, curry, to shoot above 37% every year since 2020 on pull up 3s.And he still couldnt get even close to Currys career efficiency in the regular season or playoffs (even if we only take Currys first 5 years) on the same volume while...having a career 90% assisted 3 point field goal attempts. FUCKING KILL YOURSELF RETARD.You have ZERO fucking idea how good Curry is as a shooter, while being 6'2 and actually being able to make shots off the dribble. Shoot your fucking self.
im not reading allat but im happy 4 u
second apron morally saved the nba. finally execs are getting wise and not blindly dishing out maxes. morant, lamelo are either out of the league in a few years or on minimum vets like westbrook
>>152888321trae is the same height as brunson and mitchell. trae decides to not work out
Mavs need to shed some salary outside of AD. They either need to do that, like trade Klay, Gafford and Nnaji Marshal for expiring contracts or salary dump AD which I don't think they want to do.Either way its gonna be hard because they would need to trade for shit like Rui, Kristaps or other players that don't really do anything other than keep their cap sheet healthy for the summer
>>152888250>Traded Luka because of injury concern for this
>>152888483they traded luka so they didnt have to supermax him. i thought this was obvious.
>>152888466nah it just means that you cant have more than 2 max players on the team so if you somehow draft a stud you have 3 years to win a chip with him or you need to trade someone it's unironically horrible and it was made by brainlet pseuds like iguodala cp3 and cj larping as white intellectuals
>>152888478I’m honestly shocked more nba players haven’t taken weightlifting seriously. Most of them who do weightlifting do it in a lower stress more athletic focus training. A more muscular Trae would be much stronger without sacrificing much speed
JB > Luka
>>152888536it makes sense for taller guys cause of their bones and shit. but for shorter guys they should obviously bulk up. mitchaell looks like a gym rat now lol

>>152889342>AD will be highest paid player to be injured for 3/4 of his contractNot as long as Embleed exists
My theory is that Luka is getting all the hate they want to throw at Jokic but can't because he's obviously the best in the world

>>1528895686th man. We need real hoopers in the starting lineup
the nets have been trying to shop cam thomas and no one absolutely no one has been picking up. why not just waive him?
>>152889539What about a guy who's tendons choke in game 7 of the NBA Finals with the league championship on the line. At least Embiiiich fans don't get teased thinking that they're getting a rangz, Hali's choking and fragility is on a whole other level
>>152889539DAME
>>152889593The Nets don't care about winning. Why would they do something like that?
KAWHI LEANORD VS MPJ RIGHT NOW
>>152889611Gayson can choke just as hard as Hali can, plus he can put up the worst airball in NBA history in clutch time during a playoff game. Find video any where of a shot that missed this badly, you can watch all of youtube and you won't find anything of even half this magnitude of inaccuracy
>>152889620battle of the supertankers
>>152889593He still serves his role as tank commander with his loss contributing style of play. I don't see him getting a real contract after this season or any team wanting to trade for him even to pick him up for free. The market for smol scoring guards is ded.
>>152889617hes a locker room cancer. tanking is supposed to be fun not miserable. hes taking up cap space theyre gonna need for sharpe
>>152889539NBA should just have a system where each team gets to unload one ungodly contract that they want out of at a time. They still pay it but it doesn't count against their cap, and all 15 guys per conference are formed into an NBA-representative team that does nothing all year but gets the 8 seed in the playoffs. Nobody gets playoff bonuses if they win it all
no good games tonight.
Numbers never lie
>cloppers starting zubac againis ty lue retarded?
>>152889678Owners don't want that because they no longer have an excuse to save money.
Nets started the game going 0-8, its already a blowout and theres still 44 minutes of garbage time left to play.
>MPJ is triple teamed and trapped every time now>no one else can score the ballit's over for the nets, trade him now before his stats tank cause every teams treating him like kobe, mj, and lebron combined
Jaylen Brown just started juggling the ball then turned it over for no reason.
>>152889678There really should have been an amnesty clause when they started the 2nd apron shit.
>MPJ just blocked zubachahahahahaha i thought the celtics wanted zubac

Danny Wolf dominating the Cloppers
Ajay Mitchell and Branden Carlson legacy game incoming with SGA and Chet out
nest suck
>>152889611shit b8 m8 I r8 1/8
>>152889958>>MPJ is triple teamed and trapped every time nowYou learn that this is a lie, when you actually realize that you can watch nets games for yourself.This retard probably has an unbelievably retarded idea of what a "triple team" is, probably thinks driving into the paint and then stopping is a "triple team" if thats the case, ive seen few players more triple teamed than Brandon Podzemski.Also theoretically, if a player was triple teamed every game, the way game would be so unbelievably easy for the team that the only way they could lose, is if they were somehow as retarded to do the same on the other end, and triple team.......a shooter that cant dribble, and is a limited passer, who chucks up a shot as soon as they touch the ball. Even on high efficiency, the obvious counter, is just to let that one guy shoot, and make sure almost nobody else on the team can get the ball, especially for a team as bad as the nets. Now if MPJ generated free throws at a high clip like Reggie Miller did, then thats a different question for a off ball movement shooter. That breaks defenses, whether they want to be broken down, or not.
brook lopez looks like he's 80
all this french guy does is run really really fast. he cant shoot the ball or lay the ball up or nothin.
>>152889722one of cloppers assist coach must be reading this thread lmao

mpj must be drunk from celebrating his trade to the warriors
>RRRRRRsix Rs
zubitch just got fucking stripped by claxton after he got fucking blocked by mpj in the first quarter
Is the tactical strategy in resting Shai this Grizzlies game, so that Shai doesnt get any blame whatsoever for the Thunder's revent stint of losses if they do lose this game too? Why rest chet too anyway?
Canadians have taken over this general I'm afraid
by the way if you didn't know, the nba is unironically rigged. MPJ doesn't miss like this unless he's missing on purpose.
>>152890605niggas just fake ball watchers in here, dont care about the sport like a real nigga (me)
>>152890623lol blatant
>Embiid charges a guy>Dude goes back to the locker room because of that>Freethrows for EmbiidKek this sport is so close to dead to me, as an entertainment product

If Braun were a shooter that dyke from Minnesota might still be alive
that will be 250million plus tip please
>>152891853Braun wasn't signed for 3pt shooting
>>152891949ye he was signed for turning the ball over and not finishing anything around the rim
so.. odds of okc getting back in this?
>>152891971Pretty decent. Grizz are ass and are playing like ass. It’s crazy they are even winning.
Trae must be so proud of his new teammates btfo by the pelishits
Why isn’t SGayA playing tonightTorn bussy?
Hi. Why do some teams (okc) blatantly throwing games by not playing any competent starters? (Tonight vs Grizzles) Is this normal I can't seem to find a reason anywhere.
>>152892056Refs were a little rough in the locker room after that game against the Jazz
>>152892056Their white bull now cancer free so they're busy taking turn fellatios
reminder jdub is a max contract allstar level player
>>152891176they both suck
>live odds griz-9.5Damn that’s a good bet. No way OKC doesn’t at least get it under 10
OKC about to get destroyed by the Rizzlies again. Its gonna take at least 50FT for SGA to win this one
Trae leaves Atlanta, Hawks suddenly beating top ranked teams solely on the merit of turnover ratio.How TF was Trae making the Hawks commit turnovers from the bench in street clothes?

>>152892535He could have saved them
Games like this just show why SGA is the MVP. He's not like Chokic who's bench squad can win games without any starters playing
>>152892551My king...
>>152892557He just barely beat the Jazz last game, and this is the first time they'll lose without him. Not fooling anyone lil bro
>>152892551This bum can't even save the Bulls
