WHERE IS THE FUCKING BASKETBALL
why this dumb bitch lying
>>153533120schedule releases before the start of every season bro
why did I have a sudden induced feeling that Kuminga went 4 for 32...
>>153532256based >>153532274why? because they actually play defense? because the refs don't artificially keep the game close for the gambling apps?because teams are given a rank which they try to keep ?because you cant tank?because the single elimination tournament is the best in all sports? please explain
>>153532961He should publicly apologize and explain that the reason he acts like such a bitch is because he was raised by a single mom (the real mvp) and never had a father in his life to show him how to be a man. If he did that, he would at least be respected for his honesty
>>153534185>kevin durant>self awarelol
KD shouldn't have to apologize for speaking truth to power.
Looks like the WNBPA is slowly backing down. I think they’re realising playing hardball is too risky esp with Unrivaled looking shaky. They fooled me for a while that they were going to take down the WNBA.
>>153535136breanna stewart co-founded Unrivaled only for her to sign with Fenerbache again lmao. Terrible ass look.

>>153537741>cherrypick Bird's "worst" finals to prove how overrated he is>he still averaged 24/9/5 Lol thanks for proving my point. Stop cheating at curling btw
>>153537790That wasn't his worst finals lmao
>>153537404KD didn't deserve a seat to begin with, it should be ShaqI'm not thinking about Wemby's placement until he's healthy enough for two rings at leastIn terms of production consistency and longevity, KD is the greatest jumpshooter ever, and on a theoretical level might be close to Kobe and Duncan as basketball players, but ultimately he's definitively the third best player of his generation
Luka was on a LeBron-like trajectory to start his career, but he hasn't added defense nor fitness to his game to take him to that next level
>>153537249>Giddey, Jones and Smith playing>Bulls gave Ayo to the T-WolvesWe give the Bulls the #1 overall pick.
>>153537907Luka is the new James Harden except that he actually elevates his game in the playoffs. I believe he'll win at least 1 ring unless the Lakers front office fails to put any decent pieces around him in the next few years.
>she sees LeMickey's penis after he missed the playoffs then got swept and gentleman's swept the next three years
>>153538130Who is this semen demon
>>153537807AHAHAHAHA OWNED THAT BUM
>>153537506wow that post sure was triggering for a lot of posters, hard to not notice that
>>153538146That's Anyango.She's reacting to the size of LeMickey's penis at a Diddy party.
>>153537992Lakers gotta hope Reaves takes a sweetheart deal, and Giannis says LA or bust
>>153538180I hope the Lakers win a ring the year after LeDiddy leaves them. That would be the funniest possible outcome.
>>153538191Make it so
>>153537506>>153537659>>153538175the cord didnt like that one
>>153537807those are solid numbers only 2 games went over 100 points because they actually played defense back then unlike today were SGA gets 18 free throws for falling down
>>153537271how the fuck am i watching this exact video and see this post
>>153538180The definition of a butterface, damn. Still miles better than Tranny Clark though
>>153538361>SGA out of nowhere>defending roleplayer ahh numbers when Kareem and Magic were producing just as good as players nowYour idol is dogshit
Nba hasnt been good since 2019 lol
>>153537807>his worst finals was one of the ones he won
>>153537992I think it's weird that people are acting like Luka is still some unproven commodity and we're not sure you can win with him when he already has multiple signature playoff moments, game-winning shots and might have won a title already if Kyrie could play Boston without spilling his spaghetti.
Silver and Dolan made the call
>>153538527He got swept in the finals and Kyrie has already proven he can be a winning second option. Luka is a Westbrook-tier
Darius Acuff is a franchise changing player
>>153538476imagine the smell after a full game
>>153538566Probably stinkier after a 2 hour practice than the game I think
>>153538538It really is fucking pathetic how these activist humps all bend the knee immediately as soon as their bag gets threatened. Do they forget who they work for in the first place? If you're going to backtrack on your statements as soon as your master raps your knuckles don't bother striking the pose to begin with, you spineless hypocrite.
>>153538585billie hasn't bent the knee
The dunk contest was so bad it started world war 3
They should make dunks worth 4 pts
>>153538527>if Kyrie could play Boston without spilling his spaghetti.Why does no one ever talk about this? Kyrie is really weak mentally and he was the one that should have been traded after that performance
>>153538675it'll never happen but i agree they should be worth at least 3
>>153538729Because Kyrie was getting doubled by the Celtics 2 best perimeter defenders while Luka was getting shut down by Jaylen "no left hand" brown
>>153538527Celtics were stacked that year, the Mavs didn't have a Bosh/Love tier third option, Celtics might've won even if Kyrie wasn't awful in BostonI'm not sold on Reaves as a playoff guy, and the Lakers will have to nail their role player acquisitions if that's their backcourt
>>153538741Yeah 3 is better actually. It would unironically fix the game just like how dunking first fixed the game decades ago
>>153538729One of the benefits of being Robin is you don't get as much scrutinyNico is a braindead egomaniac, and neither Luka nor Kyrie needed to be traded, just try to improve on the fringes
>>153538751Yeah it's funny how those double teams only worked in Boston. They should have done it on the road, too. They would have had a sweep.Stop cheating at curling you faggot leafs
>>153538842Those home stats are inflated by the game Luka fouled out like a bitch and Kyrie took 10 more shots than he did every other game retard, as well as the Celtics throwing game 4 so they could win at home. Did you even watch the series?
>>153538842Please explain to me how it’s cheating? It’s the same as a gather
Can someone tell me how cavs could trade garland when he cant even pass a physical?
>>153538911
>>153538931You can trade injured players (Trae, AD), the receiving team just has to agree to it. The Clippers think Garland will recover fine.
>>153538950Wow clippers doing kawhi so dirty
Just 1 more dayStupidly long All-Star break

Thankfully once you're shitted up with enough jeets we won't have to tolerate you in international sporting events at all since they can't even qualify, much less compete. Pic very much related
>>153539003What rules?
>>153538560yep he going #2 but if jazz get #1 they should take Acuff Cal got another outstanding class right now
>>153538931It's why the Cavs had to attach a pick to him. The Celtics had to attach a second rounder to Isaiah Thomas after the cavs checked his balls
>>153538560somehow, hes legit the only college prospect right now other than boozer and dybantsa that im genuinely high on, and think can be consistent.learning people are relatively low on him is a surprise to me.i think that flemings nigga is ridiculously overrated, I saw him have zero impact like 2 or 3 days ago, and poor decision making, but the thing with college niggas is people love to cherry pick their good games if they already believe in their upside, and ignore the bad games. I look at both, to see if they simply had an unlucky game, but still made good impactful decision, or if theyre just not that good and coast off of fortunate shooting variance and poor competetion.
>>153539006Sorry, I can't hear you down there in 11th place

>>153539108Nah, that's the quintessential american yt male. Another adult example can be seen in the movie "Falling Down", where the archetypal BAWB loses his mind from minor inconveniences POC have to live with x10 and the rest of society has to clean up after him, which is often the case with y'all. Just look at you right now, trying to deflect an all white curling team's attempt at "cheating" to the evil browns, because lord forbide white "people" take responsibility for anything lol.

>>153539173>an all white curling teamIf you think the most cucked nation on earth desperately tried to find a street shitter to add to the team to meet their diversity quotas, you're nuts. It's just that, as we've already established, none of you are good at anything. Except getting run over by trains, I guess.
>>153539256Haha yeah, fuck those trains. All my yt friends prefer shooting up schools, ODing on fent, and chopping our penises off instead. White "culture" truly is superior lol.

>>153539358Funny to say this when you're inviting us to solve the problems YOU created, when YOU ruined our societies in the first place. But again, taking accountability has never been a yt trait. Y'all didn't even know how to bathe until Moors taught you lmao.
>>153539362Actuaully we all enjoy falling down, it's considered a classic. We mostly relate to the arbitrary "no breakfast" cutoff point, especially now that McDonald's reneged on their all day breakfast promise. I want a fucking sausage biscuit, I don't care that it's 11:02. They could still make that shit.

>>153538560>>153539007>>153539035Acuff is a transition babby and gives it all up on the other end anyway. He’ll be the worst defender in the NBA, or at most bottom 5. Arkansas have been better in possessions without him this season, statistically.
Kevin Durant may never log into twitter ever again
So what is the process for rebuilding the Kings, beyond hoping for a good lottery pick?They cannot sell Sabonis high at this point, Lavine and DeRozen are old and expensive and they are not swimming in picks.How do they even blow it up?
>>153541633They have already blown it up. What you see now is the blown up version of the Kings.
lots of nba games tonight, with a lot of players returning to action from injury as well
I am the last male who carries my families last name. ive told my parents and family that I have no intention on having kids, nor do I want to get married and they always get upset. my father didnt outright say it, but the conversation he last had with me regarding this topic was along the lines of "you owe us grandchildren and you need to continue the family name"I told my aunts and nana I didnt need or want a gf and they looked at me like I just summoned the devil. for context, my mothers side is an extremely traditional catholic family. im not religious whatsoever.
>>153543761Totally, man. Can't wait to see Curry with Tingus Pingus, Kyrie, Sabonis, Zach Lavine, Siakam with Zubac, SGA, Wagner, or even embiid. You can check the availability list here. https://www.espn.com/nba/injuries
I still think the Clippers have the worst future situation of any team. They have neither assets nor their picks nor are they good now.It’s hard to come up with a #2 outside of assuming the Kings and Pelicans will fuck it up like they always do. Magic maybe? They have young players to trade away if they decide to burn it all down.
>>153544066The Magic simply need to give up on Paolo
The nba is obsolete. You can use Ai to generate banger games for you now.
>>153544066The “we have one great player and no chance to improve so we’re stuck in mediocrity forever” teams are always sad too. Looking at you Mavs and Lakers.
>>153544106What is stopping the mavs from being a contender in 3-5 years?
Why is peterson the #1 pick? He sucks
>>153544137No decent picks or assets. After this year, they next control their pick in 2031, and the only other meaningful pick they have is the Lakers 2029 one
>>153544173The Jews decided on it
>>153544327Makes sense actually
>>153544197Brother Flagg is the generational asset. And they have picks as well
>>153544340I'm not the other bong, but they do need to hit on their lotto pick this year, otherwise it looks rough. The picks they have aren't that great like he said. There are a lot of busts in that mid to late lotto range, so I'm worried as a Flaggot. I hope the post-Nico front office knows what they're doing. Also Lively beating actually coming back from injury one day would be huge

>>153544173Cause people are retarded,>big black guy (he's only 6'6) and I guess people believe he's Kobe + Steph Curry even though he has worse durability than Zion at Duke and Pelicans tenure combinedDybantsa is number 1 and there's really no debate, I think Peterson will tank his stock cause his injury and health is something that doesn't allow him to a franchise cornerstone, I can see him shilling hard to play for OKC, a team, you know, thats fine with injured retards on their roster 24/7

>>153546524The warriors were way too good in 2018 but 2017 wasnt too unfair. LePR just got outplayed by Durant and the team got a lot of deserved hate so its downplayed how good the 2017 cavs were. They would kill any team in todays league

While Hayes still has a decent shot of being asked to do the Dunk Contest again, he acknowledged that the answer would most likely be no after seeing the toll it took on his knees.“This is my seventh year in the NBA, I’m gonna be in my eighth year next year. You see these young guys got way more legs. I went up for my first dunk, I felt it right in my knees. I don’t think so,” Hayes said. “It was fun to do and to say I did it, but I don’t know. I’m not gonna fully shut out the dunk contest, but most likely no. I’d rather much be in Hawaii right now.”

>>153550433>they were healthy they probably win,Yes. lebron is the goat and he was on a mission. It's crazy how unfortunate 2015 went. 2016 solidified his legacy though. then the warriors slotted in durant in the barnes spot and it was over.
>>153550534>then the warriors slotted in durant in the barnes spot and it was over.Still pissed about this, we were not only robbed of a FAIR potential Finals between the Warriors and Cavs, but also what would have been epic 7 game series between the Thunder and Warriors every year in the WCF.
>>153550139imagine this retard being your highest paid player. I would have shipped him out for multiple firsts after those videos of him driving surfaced a few years ago. get my scouts looking at all 6'6 ballhandlers or draft more kons.

>>1535505942022 inflated draymond's legacy more than curry's IMO. It's proof of why they never traded him. Having the number 3 reg szn defense and number 1 playoff defense is no joke. Plus he was their point guard floor general, telling everyone where they needed to be so they could screen for steph. Kerr's mind on the floor.

>>153550898Cute
>>153550969Wall had about the same level of success as Gilbert did
>>153550861only thought he played for the taoyuan leopards. the more you know about those high school bum players
>>153550931They've had a few fun years, Gilberts peak there had some good games and the peak Wall years were alright. Since then though yeah it's been a disaster. It would be pretty kino for Trae and an actually healthy AD to lead them to a top east seed next year. Sarr is pretty legit and Tre Johnson might be too. We'll see.

>>153556267>This to shall passit has not.
It’s impossible to design a draft that helps bad teams without also creating incentives to lose. The shamelessness has def got worse.I basically think they should extend the lottery to all but the conference semi finalists and flatten the odds further (every team gets the same percentage for, say, the top 5). I’m fine if you want to make that over a 2 year period.It doesn’t help bad teams but its not like the Pelicans, Wizards and Kings of the world were doing shit with their top picks anyway
>>153556164the draft has become its own event. its always been rigged to a degree so they have to create new ways to mask that it is a scam.
>>153556426We got Queen bro
they should just make the lottery flat out even for the non-playoff teams and the 4 worst teams in the playoffs
>>153556465You got CP3, AD and Zion too
>>153556484Basically.And make it so all traded picks are top 4 protected.
>>153556426maybe teams should have to reach a certain amount of games won during a rookie contract to make them eligible for resigning. If they dont cap them 2 slots down from their last highest pick, so they cant luck into a #1. Each defaulted rookie contract counts as two draft slots, so two rookies contracts fall through thats four slots lost in the first, and four in the second, on top where they end up in a lottery

>>153556426Is the shamelessness that much worse than the Process 6'ers?
>>153556714Curry getting cucked by Chris B Haynes kek
>>153556691the process 6er's were proof its all rigged the other owners said nothing about it they realized it was best for business cause the east had no superstars
>>153556714It's not like she needs the money, why is she doing this?
>>153556736She openly said she loved attention from other men a decade ago. But curry can go blame himself for tolerating this shit. He should tell her to stop humiliating their family
>>153556691Yes and that’s the problem. There’s a real difference between the Sixers putting together a deliberately shit roster that can’t win vs teams sitting players, keeping out players or coaching to lose.Sixers got a lot of attention but they just accelerated becoming bad. They were utterly fucked by the Bynum trade.
>>153556758She gave him like 5 kids what else more could he want? She rightfully gets jealous of him getting attention.
>>153556784he need to go on Maury get that DNA test
>>153556811all the kids are clones of him it couldn't be more obvious
>>153556714is that Lindsay Lohan?
>>153556732The NBA literally stepped in and forced them to replace their GM who did shit trades.And what the Sixers did wasn’t even that bad. They were utterly fucked, they just sped up the timeline.Compare that with the Jazz. Markkanen is an all-star level player who is sitting so the Jazz will lose.
>>153556784>She gave him like 5 kidsThey have 3
>>153556840hinkie was only in charge for 2.5 seasons and the boston jews on espn/SI fucking cried about it and silver stepped right in and fucked over that franchise. it's a shame.
>>153556840did you just doubt Danny fucking Ainge my dude?
>>153535136They have no leverage because a walkout is a hollow threat when your sport makes negative money. If the WNBA shut down that woulx just mean the NBA gets to stop subsidizing it and keep more of their money. I bet half the owners were secretly rooting for a shutdown just so they had an excuse to kill it off.
>>153556836Yea, its from the movie irish wish, >>153556784>>153556842>>153556758Lol you morons cannot be justifying a women being unfaithful, that said, I expect a divorce soon from Curry and the fat bitch, If she hasn't cheated already its gonna be more obvious, but its obvious she's been unfaithful for a long while, and I've been hit on by women with partners and I know that awkward ass feeling especially when you know their boyfriends name and everything

>>153537249Draft order is based on win % AFTER mathematical elimination from playoffs, with preference to teams eliminated in the final week/month/the rest Problem is that requires math, and this is the sport that took 30 years to figure out 3 is more than 2
>>153556953Hofstra v Hampton
>>153556863It was an ordinary tank job. They had a couple of half-decent players (notably a young Jrue) and they traded them away. Jrue has had a great career as an elite 3rd guy but a team centred on him was never going to do anything.OKC and Rockets did the same shit to a much greater degree and nobody really cared. The Rockets were playing fucking KPJ as their starting PG for a year.
>>153555798none of this really fixes tanking. The draft wheel is the only answer
>>153556961>look at him not intervening when draymond punched poole.why would he intervene?
>>153555792look at this fucking fraud
>>153556987did Denver cut him?
>>153556987heavy tanking engaged.
>Bron sacrificed someonethis yalls goat?
The draft needs to be reframed to be about stopping great teams getting more top young talent rather than helping losing teams.It’s pretty easy to design rules to stop OKC or Pacers from getting another top pick, it’s basically impossible to stop a team like the Jazz from deliberately losing games.
>>153557022Orlando give him the bag so he left in free agency. He then played like ass there and got traded.
>>153555798Cant wait to see how my Bulls still end up drafting 8-10th every year.

>>153555792all these kids think theyre something like a kiki vandeweghe but theyre not
>>153557077Bruce Brown probably
>>153555798Why cant they just let the top 5 draftees of this years or the following draft pick their own nba team just to punish deliberate tanking and make an example of them,But rule is also one team a draftee picks the other cannot join, so that way 5 different teams gets a high caliber talent they can build around,
>>153540535Everything this little bitch says or does is fake as fuck, he deserved his humiliation
>>153557010>why would he intervene?Because leaders step in and put an end of the problem. But we know Steph isn't a leader
>>153557045you bongs got it right with relegation in the PL needs to happen here with the nba & nfl
>>153557090thatd be too simple
>>153555798Just get rid of the draft at this point.

Otherwise, the team can match up to anyone but I don't know how ready the young guys are and how everyone's game will work against playoff level defense and schemes.Wemby probably won't play enough games (it'll be close either way) and he's overall not deserving of the MVP this season.Cade sucks ballsLuka obviously.

>>153556914The WNBA’s new TV deal means it will make real money for the first time. That’s the reason for this CBA headache, the league was set up to lose money.Some people think the WNBA is scamming the players by offering a low revenue share and the players could dump it, start their own league and make more money. This is ridiculously risky and almost certainly not true. A strike would also kill any momentum and fuck any future growth. Plus, ignoring the revenue share, the WNBA is finally offering good salaries in absolute terms. $250k-$1m is a lot of money to the players in a sport where revenue and salaries were low. Trying to turn revenue percentage into a point of principle can fuck them over in practical financial terms.
>>153557322I'd tell her straight up I want the spot she touched
>>153557066He's absolutely right but the problem is it becomes a prisoner's dilemma sort of thing. If you decide not to fish for free throws because it's dishonorable and pathetic your reward is losing to someone like SGA who gets 15 bonus points per game by doing what you wouldn't. As long as the refs remain fraudulent cunts who reward this shit it will always be optimal to abuse it rather than play with integrity. The league has to fix it from the top down, you can;t just tell the players "oh yeah, if you flop we will give you an extra 10 points a game, and we won't crack down on anyone who does it but please don't because it looks bad." If it's allowed and essentially incentivized then it will keep happening.
>>153557326Shai can miss about 10 more games i think he will get it. Cade as an individual player hasnt reached the peak level

>>153557371It only makes more money if they don't raise salaries to the point where they're spending all the increased revenue on operating costs.And it's a real dangerous road to go down, if, as I kind of suspect, this last batch of tv deals turn out to be massive money pits. People are betting on the WNBA as if the Caitlin Clarke shilling was going to permanently uplift the ratings but that ship has sailed. She's not actually that good, she's not winning anything and once she inevitably tears another knee ligament or whatever the league will just be filled with random women no one cares about like it's always been. The ratings will decline back to where they were (and they already are) and then you'll have to hope the steamers are still willing to spend like drunken sailors. If you've promised huge shares of revenue to the players and then the revenue shrinks, well, that's fucking awkward.
>>153557497itll be something extra faggy like a team usa jersey

>>153557594uncle jeff*
>>153557409no one cares about this bum
>>153557544True about salaries, and the issue with revenue declines, but I suspect they are actually lowballing them. It’s also likely the WNBA ownership structure is totally fucked. The league wasn’t ever supposed to make money.They signed the new TV deal before Clark-mania came along due to bad timing. I think thst’s part of the problem. If the salaries were a crazy amount then it’s easy to get players to agree to shit (look at the last 2 NBA CBAs which fucked over thr players) but it’s just good. Some now see the league as bigger than the contract being offered. It was easy for everyone agree when everyone knew nobody gave a shit about the WNBA and they were being given handouts by the NBA.

>>153556426>>153556691The current tanking tactics are influenced by advanced analytics. That's the main difference. Hinkie studied the system and properly identified how the efficiency of tanking can be maximized, and he was only shameless in a sense that he fully embraced the process without any embellishment. He didn't make any extra steps to keep up appearances or battle the narrative through technicalities. Current teams do, and they have a bag of little tricks to improve their losing chances in practice while still retaining the optics of competitiveness (or at least having the numbers to muddy the waters) on paper. It's all about the meta, and this is how this tanking discussion could devolve into a "who can out-meta the other side (teams vs NBA)" arm wrestling real quick. Meanwhile the NBA needs a real solution but it's unclear where the inherent limits of the draft system lie. I bet they'll load up on a bunch of technicalities in their next round of reform before doing something major, but since the next 2 drafts after the upcoming one (2027 and 2028) is widely regarded as weak Silver just needs to buy some time for now.
>>153557588No he wasn't. 47% from the field as a big and single digits boards. Boozer easily clears.
>>153557685The draft just needs to go. No bandaid is fixing it to be stop tanking without also giving good teams the chance to luck into dynasties. You can't have both at the same time.

Tanking is an unfixable problem and no amount of retarded bandaid patches Adam Silver pulls out his ass will fix it. When one single player can completely change the trajectory of a franchise they willl do whatever it takes to increase the odds of getting them. Also a lot of potential lottery teams are just fucking terrible, there's no league wide conspiracy they genuinely suck shit. If the Pacers or Wizards didn't pull their starters they'd win maybe 5 games more.
