>>153786274Hes a demon on that court
Evan Mobley is the invisible man.Before the season Atkinson said that he was going to take a huge step forward and be a superstar. He's regressed instead.

>lakers playing at noonit's over
>>153786304I once read that he almost wanted to leave due to lack of playing time, but the celtics extended him instead and asked him to stay. Win-win move>>153786305He spends his offseasons playing overseas and with college players. He's a really hardworking guy>>153786327Yeah, literally cooking everyone in the 4Q. Also has the highest +-
>>153786426lebron is out so maybe they'll actually win
Funny how much better the Lakers play without LeBUM
I know knicks kniggas hate KAT
Another 6 for 16 shooting night for Gayson Gaytum. Since his return Gayson is averaging 37% FG shooting and 29% from 3
>>153786414he's got an $8m player option for next season dumbfuck
LeBrick is intentionally missing enough games that he doesn't qualify for post season awards, that way when he is left off the all-NBA lists it won't be because he sucks but because "I was hurt, I have a doctor's note so its OK"
>>153786461What are you his boyfriend? Same idea applies. He wants more money so he's trying before the checks clear.
>>153786274Has been a more efficient isolation scorer than both Shai and Luka this season
AR & Luka both individually outscoring the NY KWABockers
>>153786477>What are you his boyfriend?you're the one writing fanfic about him
Wemby is dropping 60 on the Rockets tonight

>>153786889Kek
Brunson used to be talked about more
>>153786920There’s nothing to talk about. He already had his “woah, this guy became a superstar?” Moment two years ago. We know what he is now, he’s not gonna get any better.For him to be talked about he needs to have a great playoffs
>call timeout to challenge>waste 5 minutes>inbound ball and immediately turn it overfuck this league. you can tell this league is dead just by how slow a NY vs LA matchup is in this general
Imagine this team with a real centre
Bench LeCancer the rest of the season. The Lakers clearly are way better without him
Amazing how much better the Lakers are with Rui starting than Lebrown
You know LeDrunk's ass is not playing because he's hungover
>lewashed not playing>lakers suddenly have solid defense I'm noticing
Lakers are better without LeBron. Especially since LeBrons 3 bal is completely fucked. If LeBron wants to better the team he should be a super 6th man and come off the bench.
>>153786974Lediddy’s drunk on adrenochrome

Why is Marcus smart such a gigantic retard always spamming 3s?
>>153786938>you can tell this league is dead just by how slow a NY vs LA matchup is in this generalIn fairness, they're both frauds and real ball-knowers know
>sarr we need some blackup in the /nba/ thread
>tabum returns What is gonna be inceltics excuse now when the smelltics get eliminated
>>153786938It genuinely feels like most people only tune in for the playoffs and consume the regular season through gambling, Twitter posts, and highlight videos.
>>153787144Knicks are going to the finals bro
>>153786938The only NY vs LA matchup that /sp/ actually cares about is Yankees vs Dodgers
>>153787197On another note. Why did everyone forget the Knicks destroyed the Celtics last playoffs? It’s driving me fucking crazy how we are getting cast aside right now.
>>153787215because the knicks choked against the pacers right after that and fired their head coach
>kings went all in for a big 3>soon to be first team to be eliminated from playoff contention>if theyre lucky they will be only the second or third worstFucking hell if im a kings fan im boycotting everything

> You gotta help a brother out Ernie is a real nigga
AR need to humble Chuka and tell his ass he's Robin tonight. AR needs to carry for the Lakers to win.
Y'all better not have cried about Shai yesterday while defending this shit
Jerome is not a good addition to the Memphis Grizzlies.
>>153787486shai is da real mvpluka is not da real mvparguing "see sgay is the same as luka" is not a good thing from an sgay perspective it devalues himnow jokic is da real mvp because of u
How much better would the lakers be if Ayton was peak Clint Capela?
When I look at my career all i see is failure after failure. I should never have touched a basketball.
>>153787581Embiitch...
LukGAWD I kneel
>>153787531If they had peak capela they would finish this season with 55-60 wins. Capela wasnt a star but he was very, very good at what was asked of him and he would cover the lakers weak defense with excellence. Ayton wishes he was half the player capela was
Dead ahh genny. No wonder I barely come here anymore.
How did Brunson fall off so hard?
The Knicks aren't a real contender
>>153787662Manlet curse
>>153787662What made anyone think Brunson was a star? Bum was pushed cause he's in NYC, but he's a tiny guard that has mid efficiency. His ideal role is third option but there's absolutely zero chance a team goes anywhere with him driving the bus.
The Lakers are up by double digits meaning they will give up 20 within the next 15 minutes
oy vey luka careful with those fingers
bricks everywhere!
Luka is transforming into Harden more and more with these TOs
Give LuGOD a break. He's sleeping on the couch after his girl found him cheating.
with hindsight it was obvious that Boston needed to ditch all of their old vets
Dwight Howard
Never forget
Did lakers fans really give Dwight Howard a standing ovation? Fucking pathetic. Kobe would be ashamed
When did Mike Brown coach the lakers?
>>1537878052011-12, he got fired a few games into the 2012-13 season before d'antoni came in

Just noticing that AustHIM is playing way better without a certain SOMEONE on the basketball COURT. Just saying...
I've seen enough. Bench LeBron for the rest of the year
>>153787852This was the sacrifice year so LeBron breaks all longevity records.The moment he passes Parish for games played, they will put him on pasture.
klutchmafia is on their way yall pushed it
Fading the Knicks on the road is the gift that keeps on giving

Brunson conundrum: alienate your best player who took a massive cut and screw him over, thus making your team toxic to stars for years, OR pay an ageing manlet who is already out of his prime, ensuring you NEVER win a championship for the next 10 years

>>153789801he just got a gigantic contract he didn't deserve. He'll be fine
I think the rockets regret not doing the Giannis trade last off season. Of all the possible Goannis teams, they would succeed with him the most: all they really had to do was give up one of Sengun or Amen

fuck it, give reed his own team, im rooting hard for all the small guard niggas with how many stupid fucking niggas been trying to push the "omg le small guard le dead???" narrative like theyre espn, every single fucking menial trend has to turn into some narrative to indict a type of player or another. can a player not simply be bad? flawed? stop making it out to be anything more

Spurs have been looking like the best team in the league. Hopefully inexperience makes them come back down to earth in the playoffs.

>>153788715Lakers literally have a 50 million dollar turd on their roster. Unbelievable, even Paul George would be better
KD can't win with these cats
>>153790529I really hope the nuggets and thunder fuck each other before the spurs face them.
The only thing stopping Wemby from averaging 27+ is that his team doesn’t need it
biyombo looks like michael jordan in the face
>>153790676More like he can only last about 30 minutes a game and they would rather use his energy on defense
What's the point of having Eason and Jabari Smith as a starterBoth are basically the same player
Fox has the easiest job in the league. Gets a max contract and just sits back and let Wemby, Castle, and Harper cook
Rockets just lost their entire identity when they lost Steven Adams.
im nooticing when the hornets were climbing all the sudden the top east teams started intentionally throwing games to the teams right above them
this is madness.
Most people will look at this game and rightfully conclude that the rockets are not contenders, and that the spurs are likely legit.Instead, I look at this game and see why Kawhi will never ever be better than KD, no matter how many more points he scores.KD is flawed. But is an INFINITELY better decision maker, better offball player, and hijacks the offense less.I'm really becoming incredibly low on offense hijackers, because normies LOVE them, because 90% of normie retards still just look to the boxscore to see how many points a player has, bonus points if they see that sweet 50% FG, because normies still dont really understand EFG or True shooting beyond "le bigger number!!!"

youtube has taught me that Joe Johnson is one of the greatest players in nba history
To beat the Spurs you need a player that can attack Wemby and score on him, so a Jokic, Luka, SGA, Giannis, or ANT. After that, it becomes a supporting cast kind of thing. Nuggets probably have the biggest advantage since Spurs guards are too small for Gordon and Murray when he's hot is nigh-unguardable. Meanwhile OKC is at a disadvantage since Chet is virtually useless against Wemby.

we do a little beamin

>>153792204Its called being turkish
Oh. My. Fucking. God.I implore any actual human beings in this thread to go right now to NBA.com Go to the spurs game boxscore. Scroll till you see DeAaron Fox, and click on his blue highlighted 10 assists.I can't believe it. I've been tracking little stuff like this for the entire season, when players I dont consider playmakers, (or players im suspicious of their playmaking talent even if theyre considered top tier playmakers) randomly end up racking up double digit assist numbers that even players I consider elite (Like Darius Garland) rarely do. And the reason I recommend Fox, is because the first 4 "assists" counted as assists are so ridiculous, that if you dont see my problem immediately, then you can't be human.

>>153792204Kev on your proxy tonight I see
>>153792068Those are men right
>>1537922986th man material right there
>>153792285
>>153792312Do people really think this roster is better than what luka had around him all those years in dallas lol. Fucking retards
Lakers are nothing without leGOAT
>>153792330of course not because LeUnc takes up over 50 million dollars of roster space while being an anchor and a vampire.
>27 minutes>0 points
Nuggets vs thunder tommorow is going to go hard tommorow. I hope we see a full team chimpout of both sides
>another drawn out season
>>153792359>only a minus 4good defense
Alvarado is so underutilized by the Knicks, who gave them an edge against the Nuggets in his little time in the court. The Knicks are so fucking lame that they have already made up their minds about who their starters are.
>>153792360Nuggets will win if Chet is still out
>>153792436no murray or pwat
>>153792440Won't matter since OKC won't have a center, and probably won't have Caruso to harass. Jokic will go for 50 unless JWill has the defensive game of his life
>>153792359That'll be 5 frps, thank you.
>>153792360
Do you guys think KD is capable of doing some self reflection and be like "damn every team i join turns dysfunctional could it be that im the problem?"
>>153792461Nah, he legit seems on the spectrum so I think that's beyond him.
I honestly struggle to find any entertainment in todays league. On paper theres more talent then ever, but it feels like a pain in the ass to get through a season. The only time this year the genny has been fast was when the kd files got leaked. NBA is just drama and occasional basketball
here's something you guys dont remember because youre too young or something. Nba would get by on highlights during this time of year. More specifically, dunks and poster dunks. That part of the game is almost extinct. It just 3's. 3's arent nearly as cool as dunks with a big man in the paint
>>153792494The game has become incredibly formulaic the past 10+ years. Essentially it’s just math and algorithms. The little things still matter like hustle and defense, but that doesn’t generate enough love from casuals. Wemby and Jokic are still unlike anything I’ve ever seen before though. Same with Giannis. Been watching the NBA for 25+ years so I do still enjoy watching unique players.
>>153792494the 3 pointer is eventually not going to be hype at all. it's like how the NBA's competitor WWE abused false finishes and finisher spam until the crowd went numb to it and now they're fucked too.
WestGOD btfod all the nbgay reporters right to their faces and then dropped a triple double in a win right after and no one heres talking about it this place fucking sucks balls just like the nba
>>153792359She's no Tatum.
>>153792359the rare double single
>>153792535>Wemby and Jokic are still unlike anything I’ve ever seen before thoughDo you know who Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Hakeem Olajuwon, Moses Malone, Vlade Divac and Arvydes Sabonis are? I've already seen better versions of your zoomer players
Just had my inflamed bussy ate the fuck out. My bf is bloated and my fartbox is sore and my body abused. How’d my team do today?
Any orlando fans here? I'm gonna be going to see them play against OKC on the 17th. Anything that might be good to know about the arena? I guess things like which restaurant or whatever to go to for some wine, or little tips you might not know about if you've never been there before stuff like that. I'm a Celtics fan btw. I'll probs be rooting for y'all to beat OKC tho so don't hate on me.
>>153788784>he played longer so he's betternow post their peak numbers...
>>153792691This is awful bait but I’ll bite ; >Jokic Prime 1980’s Arvydas was derivative of Bill Walton, who was derivative of 1967 Wilt Chamberlain whom lead the league in assists that particular season. I don’t think Jokic is even comparable with those guys based on rim protection and rim pressure alone. He wasn’t nearly as mobile as those guys, however Jokic is a better passer and much greater shooter than all those guys (including Sabonis). >WembanyamaRalph Sampson is the only body type that even comes close. But his skillset (while still having some skills for a giant) were incredibly primitive in comparison with Wemby.
So are we not talking about the nuggets being 6 seed now? They're going to snipe some poor team like the rockets in 7 and then collapse due to injuries
>>153792734The top 2 seeds and 7-10 seeds in the west are pretty clear by now. The nuggets will play lakers, rockets or wolves almost certainly. Lakers should be an easy sweep. The other two are tougher but denver is still favored
Flagg started getting STOCKS again. All he needs to do is refine his scoring and he’s a star. Easier said than done thougheverbeit
Bear witness to the return of the one true King of SPC.
>>153792727>Ralph Sampson is the only body type that even comes close.Kareem, Shawn Bradley, Manute Bol. Come on man, so tired of you kids who don't know shit trying to think that the modern guys are the greatest. They aren't
Conference Finals will be Spurs/Thunder and Hornets/CelticsCeltics will beat the Spurs in 7
>>153792762Spurs are getting knocked out in the first round by the Warriors
>>153788719I went back and found it 2:21https://www.youtube.com/live/4LY3XnsA1tM?si=aJpxtRYG03XgmX28&t=141
>only 2.5 games back with 18 to playis Boston going to have the #1 seed?
>>153792780Lakers are such a weird fanbase because it's like 30% are actually fans of the team and then the other 70% are just fans of certain players
>jokic has stated he wants to stay in denver for his whole lifeyeah this dudes career is done
>>153792793The actual people in SoCal are huge fans of the team though. It's like Canadiens in Montreal or Cowboys in Dallas
>>153792804those are the 30% of lakers fans. most lakers fans aren't in LA
>>153792810That's why this general is dead when the Lakers don't play. They truly are the protagonist of the league
1 thu2 spu3 rock4 nugg5 wol6 lak7 war8 clipFinal standing prediction, top seeds all win the first round. Spurs beat Rockets, Nuggets beat Thunder, Nuggets beat Spurs and lose to the Celtics in the finals
>>153792857Nugshits aren’t beating thundgods
>>153792919Took them to 7 with injuries, okc is worse this year and the nuggets squad is better. If they get aaron gordon its over
>>153792810I was gonna say now they have the entirety of Slovenia too, but apparently it's only 2.1 million people
>>153792925Nuggets are not better. They went from being one of the most clutch teams in the league to one of the least clutch. MPJ/Russ were much better than THJ, Val, and Scam.
>>153792925A lot of fortune for the Nuggets in that series. I think OKC in 5 if they do run it back
Lakers vs .700+ teams>Overall: 1-6>with LeBron: 0-3>with Luka: 1-4>with AR: 0-3>with Luka and AR: 0-2Lakers vs .600+ teams>Overall: 5-12>with LeBron: 1-8>with Luka: 4-9>with AR: 3-7>with Luka and AR: 2-5Lakers vs .500+ teams>Overall: 14-18>with LeBron: 9-12>with Luka: 11-15>with AR: 9-12>with Luka and AR: 6-10when are Lakers fans going to stop pretending that LeBron is the problem? They feast on shitty teams. That's it
Im not sure Bruce Brown would even average 25 minutes a game on OKC’s g league team
>>153793051Laker fans who hate LeBron are likely the weirdo section of Kobe fans, Luka fans, and/or Reaves fans
>>153793051Why are the net ratings so much worse with Lebron than just with Luka and AR? This team has played thousands of possessions since acquiring Luka, at what point do you call a spade a spade? He’s obviously not the only problem but he is the biggest one given how many minutes he gets
>>153793182Lebron isn't great. But (some) Lakers fans are pretending that if they got rid of LeBron, they would be a contender. They're still ass with or without him.
Brooo, lmao
>>153793198Yeah that’s an overreaction, but I do think they’re closer to being serious than it seems. If Luka and AR stay healthy, Bron isn’t there to tank the team defensively, and they get 48 minutes of just solid rim protecting centre play, they’ll be right up there with the other teams at the top of the West imo. They need to nail the draft and free agency this offseason, and they need Reddit to play players based on merit rather than reputation
>>153793203why does shai look roided up and why is cade a baby, why is jokic a white american biker WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS just random ai shit?
>>153793221I dont think you realise how shit our 4-8th players are genuinely after lebron goes we need to replace everyone except luka and reaves
Tomorrow, League gon see who da better Non Luka Non Shai lead point guard in da league is.
the nuggets had a better record when jokic was out and literally no one talks about it, compare this to the lakers winning 1 game without lebron and everyone is acting as if lebron is like dlo
>>153793198Come on man, you know why they hate LeBron. They demand the best of the best, they don't tolerate LeBron's passive aggressive non-accountability bullshit. Vast majority of Lakers fans want LeBron's toxicity gone and can't wait for him to leave. He has been here 8 years and nobody considers him a Lakers great. You get rid of LeBron and get a real PF/C you are a contender
>>153793235Yeah I mean it’s a bad roster, like I said they need to address a lot of issues this offseason, there isn’t much room for error. I do think that a lot of these guys would look better if they played a more fitting number of minutes, like Hayes, Laravia, Kleber, and Thiero are all solid end of the rotation guys imo. Smart and Rui are good starter/sixth man level players. They just desperately need two good centres, and maybe one or two other starter level rotation players. The biggest factor will be how often Luka and AR are on the court
I'm an alien from Andromeda galaxy. Tell me honestly spee why is NBA called apehoop?
>>153793051How many of those games have you actually watched? Anybody with a pair of eyes can see the Lakers play better without LeBron even in a loss. Also they have 9 wins without LeBron not 8 so I'm pretty sure you made up those stats
>four consecutive years of picks in the top four>only got one true three level scorer out of it (reed) and he still has a flaw in his defenseI think it's time to "retool" by trading away sengun (possibly amen as well) and admitting the rebuild was a failureThe team still doesnt have a legit superstar player, kon and cooper both look like legit stars as rookies and the rockets have a fake all star in shampoo and andre iguodala 2.0 in amen (which is okay but not the x factor you want to drive your team to the top)
Look at this fat turk...this is his one move, throw his elbow into you
>>153793347trade him for giannis
>the 00scucked by the lakers/spurs>the 10scucked by the warriors>the 20scucked by the spurs againrooting for this franchise is a humiliation ritual

>>153792810if u know the league is fake and it's WWE sports entertainment u follow the lakersif u think it's real u don'tlook at all those old school NWA territory states who are lakers "fans"

>>153795292Lol
Explain
>>153795739Pat Bev did nothing wrong and was a more impactful player than Trae Young
>>153795739>Flirting vs sexual harassment
>>153790283Same vibes
>>153795739Wemby is really a dramatic french faggot and they all eat it up, Pat Bev is right this time. I can't wait to see him attempt to play a few seven game series in a row and see his shins fly off into the cheap seats.
TateGOD thread BTW
Wemby is very strong!!!
>>153795739he's right, and I hate pat bev
>>153788784And yet only one of those stats matters...
>>153795739
>>153788784>compiler statskek
>>153792810There's no way the Lakers are more popular than the Hornets in the Carolinas...
>>153792810damn I thought the knicks were more popular
>>153796199it's a fake graphic
>>153795739pat bev played for the harden rockets and clippers. It's not like he spent much time at all in minny
>>153796120the hornets just now got fans
Are the bucks broken
>>153796419How is Doc Rivers still their coach? Thibs gets fired after getting the Knicks to the conference finals for the first time this century but Doc Rivers somehow is still in the league after countless chokejobs
>>153796552They are letting him finish the season. They should ask Budenholzen for forgiveness and hire him again
>>153796583Bro it's more likely that Giannis will leave the Bucks than Doc at this point
Lakers/ Los Angeles fans are so fucking shameless and phony. Want to be there jerking each other off during Lebrons accomplishments and accolades but the moment talking heads start spouting or things dont go their way, they want to cast James to the side like he meant nothing.
>>153796610And hire who? Only bickerstaff could make something out of this mess and he already has a job. Front office needs firing first then the coach
The Bucks had Charles Lee but let him walk so they can hire Doc.
I understand that the goal was two surround brunson and kat with two 2 way wings to cover their weaknesses as well as possible but what made them think 5 frps were fair for MIKAL BRIDGES WTF.Also my hateboner for shitgoon, kd, amen and reed has grown so strong im starting to like them
>>153796717two twos my word croski
>>153796669>And hire whoI don't know man but they have to get rid of this cockroach. It's starting to get weird, maybe Silver needs to do an investigation or something because this dude should have been out of the league at least 3 years ago
>>153796717IIRC they weren't very good FRPs
>>153796656the amount of lakers fan that genuinely hate lebron is insane like i get that he and kobe had a decade long rivalry so the fans feel like they still have to talk shit about lebron but its just crazy man like that guy literally won us a ring and came here when no other superstar wanted to
Does tonights match have any impact on the mvp race or is sga running away with it?>>153796982Yeah but 5frps is still a fuckton
