>The Pacers have only missed the playoffs 10 times since 1990What are some crazy stats that just don't seem real to you? I thought this was crazy because I could've sworn the Pacers used to be shit after Reggie retired and before the Danny Granger/Paul George era.>1997>2007>2008>2009>2010>2015>2021>2022>2023>2026Were all the years they didn't make the playoffs.
big game for the hornies tonight
>>154147415>>154140496
nah fuck this nonsense. How does the league shit on utah yet let the wizards pull shit like this
https://x.com/i/status/2041656736512115053this is genuinely disgusting btw if true.sitting a rookie getting reps, because hes too good so that your shit fucking franchise can hope to get better odds in the draft than already being 3rd, even though that's the exact same odds as 1st place.I shouldn't be a fan of this shit fucking team, but it looks too good with traore as the lead guard playing with an actual stable rotation of nba ready playersif this decision was for tanking purposes they dont deserve the pick tho (cam boozer is legit more than enough with how many guards they have and its unlikely he goes first unless its maybe the pacers picking him and they go for the safest pick)

twitter needs to nuke all their users there are genuine subhuman fans who spend their day doing nothing but crying and seething at their team for not tanking hard enough, these are genuine subhuman beings with no soul, no values, no character

https://x.com/i/status/2041695504019415321Kek. This is a mentally ill fanbase. There is something foundationally wrong with the minds of these people when you react this strongly to not losing a game.I don't get it. I genuinely dont get it. These franchise fans are mental zombies man.The Orlando magic has the MOST TOP 1 PICKS IN NBA HISTORY and theyve been GARBAGE 90% of their existence.But people will cope HARD on the current day Pistons and Spurs EVEN THOUGH they are extreme exceptions to the rule, where both teams got like 4 top 5 picks all in a row and were even luckier that they all his.From 2010 to 2013. The Wizards got:The 1st pick. The 6th pick. The 3rd pick. The 3rd pick again.Do you know what the Golden stat warriors picked from 2009 to 2013?The 7th pick. The 6th pick. The 11th pick. The 7th pick. and the 35th pick (Draymond).You are fucking insane if you think the Warriors won so much due to tanking.The Spurs and Pistons are EXTREMEEEEE exceptions to the rule and they havent even won anything yet so thats to be determined.But the Nets fans are SO insane that they are completely fine and onboard, and PUSHING for their coach to specifically not play particular players who help them win too much, so that they can lose for a pick. They are KILLING their players development by forcing them to play in stilted and awkward contexts, with retarded minutes, because they index so hard on draft picks over development.The warriors never deliberately took steph out of games so they could get picks, he got injured, and even then, the highest they got was a 6th pick that they traded after 1 season because he was a bust. They never deliberately took Klay out of games, or Harrison Barnes, or Draymond. Infact they got better because their main guys could start playing more minutes once they traded Monta Ellis for better pieces, and once they let 2nd round pick draymond play more.I hate this retarded tanking logic thats been gaining support.
You now remember Emoni Bates

Slovenia would rather post on twitter than here, /nba/ is dead
I stopped talking to this woman because she told me she liked Dark Souls 2.
This clippers team actually sucks lmao. Legit take away Kawhi and Garland (but mostly Garland, since the Mavs made their comeback while Kawhi was ingame cuz the ball was turnover like 10 times, and he was taking his tough middies as always) and this is legit a tanking team
I made a mistake, theyre not a tanking team, more like a "was in playoff contention then gave up" tanking team, a la the bulls, grizzlies, bucks etc.
Rui playing like he on the national team
this yall best team in the league?
Kennard might have the highest bball IQ on the lakers
>Snus magnetballok then
So its clear and obvious now right that Luka, Lebron, and Reaves were the problem and actually once you get rid of those 3 defensive liabilities the team is decent hm?(im obviously trolling inb4 some retard luka fan freaks out over this and calls me brown)
They drank the crunk juice
poor rocketanon
>all these lakers dead and jj still wont play knechtkek what the nigga do? fuck reddits mom?
Thunder are such fucking frauds
Yeah I don’t think I’m going to watch this Suns tryharding vs a brick laying Rockets game
>>154149904He's in. He bricked a 3 and probably got pulled after lmao
the clippers are legit ass. Some of the most dumbfounding defensive breakdowns ever, and an offense were most of the players on the court (except for the star players opposing teams are deliberately guarding harder) are incapable of shooting 3s, and like to either post up like a retard, pull up middy, or run straight at the rim
>>154149904He's the only attractive player on this ugly ass squad

>>154149918rockets are so back
>>154150139Every failed lotto pick who didn't get buttfucked by injury is a Ben Simmons type who quiet quit the second they saw their bank account. Sosho is just the loudest one because he was a #1 pick.
ayton is fucking trash
>thunder pulling away as expected
i thought ayton was supposed to carry this game
>>154150146I was watching the box score and turned it back on 10mins ago. This looks like it’s going to be an absolute bloodbath. Former friends turned enemies type shit
Suns are just flopping on the floor like a dead fish every time they even make contact with a Rocket. This would be funny if it wasn’t blatantly obvious they are trying to just get to the FT line over and over.
>28 fouls called in 1 halfReffies working overtime tonight
can't wait for the bronny james highlight reel after this blowout is over
drew fucking timme had 10 points in 1st quarter and now he has 11 pts wtf
>>154150249sounds like senguns playbook
>40% FTcant even blame OKClakers are doing this to themselves
Lakers Rockets first round who wins?
>>154150308Redick was an 89.2% FT shooter, this must be killing him
>>154150332>who wins?The team that has to play the winner of that series.
I like this revisionist history claiming shaq was a great defender
>>154150388man shaq's career revisionism is like "he went to the finals with the magic, then fuck u don't look at this part where he's getting totally manhandled by absolute shitters, then won 3 titles he's the most dominant player ever also he won in miami then he retired instantly probably" it's pretty funny
8 fouls already called 6mins in to the 3rd quarter
bronny james 4 points nigga shiet
>>154150249Is working
was the coaching plan really to have bronny james take 9 shots, the 2nd highest for the teamand people think gaygay reddit is a good coach
reed a bitch huh
Rockets vs 30 FTs SunsThey are about to gift a flagrant to the Suns as well on a normal foul.
>>154150431That was a normal foul pussy

>Dominayton with 3 points
>>154150445He was going for the ball, stop being a faggot bitching about that when the entire game has been a slugfest
>i'm just a special little guy>i can do whatever i want to anyone on the court
The meme that booker gets no whistle is probably the worst current nba meme ever. Booker is so good at getting a whistle that he gets them on jumpers, doesnt even need to get to the rim to draw a foul. Do you know how OP that is?
bronny 4 pointsayton 3 pointsdraymond 1 point
>>154147725Melo is the people's hooper.
>>154150478Shut up pussy

Suns are losing the playoff-level-physical battle test
>>154149750LeBum does this to all his team mates, D-Wade went from being one of the all time 2 guard greats to basically being a role player under his shadow.

>>154150708He said nothing wrong
>>154150708Ayton literally loses the ball every single time someone passes it to him when he is in the paint. Vando got Shai to foul him on a 3 pointer and went on to brick all 3 free throws. I didn't see what Rui did but I know enough about Rui already. 2 of these 3 ain't coming back next season.
>>154150672something about this is nostalgic.i remember seeing these plus minus graphics spammed around the time i started getting into nba basketball casually for the first time last year (because i was so bored of how samey life and entertainment felt) right around when the playoffs were starting

I don't neccesarily care what the /nba/ thread theme is or not but I do hate Pete poster if for no other reason than that we don't get fun and unique generals since he rotates through the same 4 or 5 Pete photos and spams the new thread early and then spams posts in that new one to officially make it the next general. If he's reading this I hope he just stops for a couple weeks. But I also think it may just be a bot program, at least I hope it is.
>keep seeing people hyping this guy up to be the best basketball player ever>everyone calls him the smartest player>all he does is pass the ball to his teammatesIs that such an alien concept?
Wake up to reality, BAWB
>>154152115Yeah I usually don't care about thread themes either but it is cringe when some faggot just simps after one player. It'd be one thing if he was just posting old ass niggas like West, Kareem, Pete, Cousy, etc. But just spamming one player does the exact opposite of what you're hoping for, which I assume is to show love and make people more aware of Pistol Pete and how good he was...instead it just annoys people.

>>154151611nets will be crazy good once they nuke their shit fucking subhuman fanbase that wants to lose because they are fundamentally losers (as fans) and commits hard to ACTUALLY developing their players with more consistent minutes, playing time, and reasonable lineups.You know whats funny. Because they committed so haphazardly to the tank, whats going to happen, is that even if they get a top 3 pick, more than likely, unless traore becomes a god next year inspite of the inconsistent playtime and lineups, is that theyll end up starting the season off bad trying to establish chemistry and a coherent playstyle, then because the fanbase is subhuman, a cyclical problem of "we NEED TO LE TANK BECAUSE WE'RE BAD" will reoccur and then they'll forget the fact that they pretended like a top 3 pick would save them because they dont actually understand basketball and winning teams.

>>154152863Knipple is wholesome and the NBA has realized that it has maxed out its moneymaking ability selling advertisement to KFC & Kia, so they want to go in a different direction and court the larger, wealthier White audience in order to improve advertising revenue. Have you ever noticed how much golf & tennis is on TV despite them being sports nobody cares about? Its like that because they have the most valuable advertising market, which is people who have large amounts of disposable income. The NBA is advertising to people who are on welfare, they don't have much money to spend so the NBA languishes behind the NFL & MLB in ad sales revenue.

Doing some old film study of Haliburton from last year. And this score is unbelievable, knowing that the gam ends up going to OT despite them being up 20 here.Also this pacers team was 100% underrated. The started off their 2024-2025 season injured as fuck. I dont even think Nembhard shows up in this game once, and Myles Turner obviously isnt playing, on top of that, Haliburton started the season in a slump. And low iq inconsistent Mathurin was getting heavy minutes. But unironically he was good this game, made some surprisingly not low iq passes, didnt just charge straight into the defense for a foul almost every time.
>>154153083>Have you ever noticed how much golf & tennis is on TV despite them being sports nobody cares about? Its like that because they have the most valuable advertising market, which is people who have large amounts of disposable income. Holy fuark...conspiracy exposed...
>>154153346They had one of the best records in the NBA once they got healthy in January. None of the media watches or cares about the Pacers though, so it went under the radar.

>Charania] The anti-tanking proposal with the most momentum within the Board of Governors leading up to the May 28th vote would expand the lottery to 18 teams — including Play-In teams — with the bottom 10 each getting equal odds and all 18 draft positions determined by lottery.You WILL give the warriors a #1 overall pick
>>154155904kinda funny that giannis has never been able to evolve his game like blake griffin did
>>154156305>tanking is out of control>what if we gave 10 tanking teams equal odds instead of just 4as an example from this season, this would put milwaukee at equal odds with washington for the #1 pick

I'm nothing but a fraud
>>154156928Its okay cooper its a meaningless award
Adam Silver saw Utah might finally get a top pick and said hell naw
>>154157003What even goes on in Utah
>>154157020its clean, white, skiing, mormons
>>154153966It's because I'm not active anymore.
When's the last time we saw a top-5 this good?
now that my wolves have locked up the 6th seed after a season full of hard work they can now relax, so ANT, gobert, randle, dosunmu and conley are out tonight. but jaden mcdaniels is active. the magic are still fighting for their playoff seedinglet's go wolves
>>154157083>ace busty
>>154157083Flagg is the 4th best player here btw
media has no problem giving Shai back 2 back mvps but when jokic gets more than 1, its a catastrophy kek Im definitley noticing
cade back tonight
it's true. I haven't been to a game since i was a kid in 2005. Haven't watched an entire NBA game since this league peaked around 2015. This game has been saturated with >hero ball 3point chuckers when it's suppose to be a team sport>refs won't even allow players to actually play defense>same boring saturated shit every year>refs controlling outcomes of games with phantom calls>flopping faggots that get free points for free >televised media giants fighting for subscription rights to jew you for more money for simply wanting to watch a game>inserting woman as refs and commentators when they literally have their own league>inserting gay politics when I just want to watch a goddamn gameI am all for this league just crashing and burning. And it all starts from the corporate greed from the top.
real hoopheads lineup
>>154157083Harper is a bench guy, VJ is a steaky scorer who isnt gonna be a winning player, Kon is a 3 and no D guy and Bailey is a bust. Only Cooper is actually good
>>154157286>Harper is a bench guynobody in the top 5 picks would have started for San Antonio. Dylan Harper would have been a starter on the Mavs, 76ers, Hornets, or Jazz
>ATL @ CLE>playoff previewhell yeah>Doris BurkeFUCK
>>154157346I doubt he would have started over Maxey or Lamelo
>>154157397>names two PGsanon, you might be retarded...
Light em up, beam me upThe only GOAT, the genius oneThey switchin sides, I seen it cominThe plot twist, a convenient one
>>154156305>>154156393This would only solve the most extreme form of tanking, if you go on nets twitter and witness the incredibly mentally ill freak out theyre having because despitr Jordi playing a GARBAGE inconsistent lineup, and giving Traore like 10 minutes of playing time. They still beat thr garbage as fuck knicks. So even though he LITERALLY committed to the tank despite his post game interview being proud of the win inspite of the tank because hes not a soulless subhuman bot. Nets twitter is threatening to never watch again (good, NUKE THESE FUCKING SUBHUMANS OUT OF EXISTENCE) and crying like Jordi personally fucked their mom because he didnt tank well enough.Its legit insanity. Some of the most subhuman behaviour I've ever witnessed.At the very least these solutions would address this specific type of mental illness where the Nets fans are freaking out only having the 3rd worst odds, because it means they can get the 8th pick, even though they have equal chances for the 1st.
shout out jacob, holding it down at mcdonalds for 11 years, and feedin that one homeless guy

Do you guys think Lukas appeal will be accepted?
>>154157884Maybe he shouldn't have whined so much to the refs over the season.
jalen johnson sucks btw lol.if he had draymond role and usage, and defense he could be useful, but hes expected to, or atleast he thinks hes expected to score whenever he feels like it, so the cavs cieling is capped wherein a better central playmaker, and a defensive wing would better benefit the hawks
Only person ive seen mention what I noticed. JB is actually above SGA in drives per game this season.But JB is literally just SGA with a worse handle, less efficient midrange, less finesse/flexibility/balance at the rim, less freethrow generation, and a worse passer.Which is also why JB being the MVP is laughable, because SGA just does everything JB does, but better. SGA, is even the better defender, at the very least off ball and in gaps certainly.
Best job in the NBA>Every move the prior GM made was bad>Favorable media>Zero pressure>If you fail, blame ownership>If you succeed, you revive a former SVPERPOWA
>>154157962The JB MVP push never had any real substance.
bros... franz wagner just left for the locker room
>>154158029this dude is just cursed
>>154157997nba ownership is easy because the fans wont put pressure on ownership almost ever. Compared to mlb and nfl fans who do put pressure on the front offices, with a few exceptions like the angels and jets. Those fans are checked out
>>154157997bro the job isn't even filled yet and they're already forcing Billy Donovan on the new guy. Taking that job is pretty much killing all of your future prospects past that contract. They are fucked forever until they get new ownership.
oh franz is back
>>154158091my pacers better get that top 4 pick
>>154152686>9th in the EAST>just a play-in team>this is an actual argument used against CoopFucking lmao
>>154157878Use your eyes homo
Who's hyped for Nugs/Grizzlies?
>>154158129is that cliff robinson on the blazers or cliff robinson from the nets in the 80s?
>>154158029This is EXACTLY why im so fucking tired of that "BUT BACK TO BACKS!!!" bullshit. How many fucking times has a player realistically gotten injured in a back to back? Tatum blew his achilles in the playoffs where theres two days of rest, same as dame and hali. Same as KD and Klay. Darius Garland literally injured his Toe in mid March last season, came back to the playoffs after weeks of rest and days of rest inbetween games and reaggrivated it.Franz took as MUCH time off as possible to come back healthy and this happens. At a certain point anybody acting like back to backs and the season length is the reason for injuries is somebody saying "Playing enough competetive basketball, makes you prone to injury risk" at which point. what is the point of playing basketball?I'm only saying this because of how many GMs rest their star player on back to backs so I cant watch competetive basketball just so they can end up getting injured anyway sometimes later.At this point I want zero back to back, just so the stupid motherfuckers have no excuses and have to face the daunting reality that playing any competetive demanding sport for extended periods of time is an inherent risk for injury.
that 3rd quarter for the hawks[REDDIT SPACE]ouch
>>154158175the nets Cliff Robinson
>>154158129Sure he can score but I'm not impressed if he's the only one they pass the ball to. I'm sure those were put up against tanking teams as well
>>154158175Nets
Bruh NAW so fucking nice
I was told that Jalen Johnson was a superstar
I must be the only Nugs fan on this shit board
Its just too crazy and too ironic how correct I am. I went to go check the only player who didnt suffer a career ending injury in the playoffs incase some bum brings up "BUT DA PLAYOFF INTENSITY" goalpost shifting.But look at this. They even DELIBERATELY MADE SURE kyrie didnt play the back to back. And he had 9 days of rest, of which he played 15 TOTAL MINUTES in the allstar game for one day...and yet he tears his ACL 6 games after the allstar break.TO BE FAIR he was playing insane minutes before and after, but those are playoff minutes. If your star cant survive playoff minutes in the regular season against worse competition, with no back to backs, why are we pretending that youre "saving" your star for the playoffs or something
>>154158262He and Sabonis are probably the premier examples of how worthless big PRA can be
>>154158229Magic, Hornets, Lakers, Jazz.I mean, if you are not impressed by his capacity to drive into some of the best defenders in the league as a 19 years old rookie, I don't know what to tell you.Burgers gets a generational talent and they want to give the ROY to a great shooter just because the Hornets are now 9th in the East, lol.
If lebron just shared his super semen with everyone no one would be getting seriously injured anymore
Cavsisters???
NAW needs to save my rapshits
>Jalen Johnson gets subbed off>Hawks go all in on defensive lineup>Comeback occurshmmmm whos noooticing with me?
>>154158374trade him for giannis while his value is still high
Im hoping and praying for a Pacer tier Hawks run in the playoffs, but the problem is they simply do not have winning players in Jalen Johnson and Kuminga who get way too many touches.
why do you retards still post here just give it up the jews have won300 image captchas and email authentications and time outs before posting just to write a one liner shitpost no one even reads
The babb who murdered that Ukrainian girl has WHAT tatted? KWAB
Lol harden

Watching my first game this season, hope its pretty good.
NAW looked lost out there

My pissies won again
>>154158584>told us we'd flame out>told us we couldn't get 1st seed without Cade>told us Cade wouldn't be back in time>keep telling ua we can't beat Boston
THE BLAZERS ARE WINNING2-0 SO FAR
>>154158284Brook must have about a 6" vert if Flagg is skying over him that much
Anthony Davis is a delusional ass clown.
>>154158637hes a low iq retard who just sucks at everything but being tall and slow.
>Jokic>Gianiss>Kawhi>Haliburton>D.Whitethis is the only correct lineup and answer
>>154158705You don't need Jokic if you have Hali, replacing him with Wemby would be better
>>154158726the more assists, the better. Everyone is getting wide open looks
>my blazegods on national tv>/nba/ decides to make tired and lame espn shit
wembiiiich sitting out against denver dodging the nuggroes just like embiiiich does
playoff jamal has arrived
>>154158815I feel bad that blacks have to root for wemby and ebiid as the answers to joker. 2 match up dodging hoes
play tyus jones, adelman
>AG hurt againget fucked nugshits
>>154158939no fucking way
>>154158952Looks like he's fine, just got hit in the nuts
>>154158939nah, he's back out there. just got him in the balls
Holy fuck the lakers could have had Ja, AD, and LeBron if that dumb fuck Pelinka didn't trade for fat ballhog Luka. WOW
See you in the first round, Rockets.
>>154159001Ja is dead
>>154158705D.WHite.ScottieJdubADTatumCurry Paul George Curry, White, Tatum, Scottie, AD start.George and JDub off the bench
you now know batum is still in the league
>>154159001So, just LeBron then. The other two are done for the season.
10-win streak soon for the nugs
>>154159034This is a good list cause it got scottie, any list without him is just ass non ball knowers
>>154159121Ja is fine actually, they're just tanking so hes out. AD would have been healed by the vibes and never got injured. You're telling me there are any vibes in that Mavs locker room? kek
>>154158975>>154158977Didn't know Dort went to Memphis
>Nuggets down by 5>get get up to make sandwich>Come back>Nuggets up by 15
>>154159135AD plays for the wizards kek
>Jokic 15 boards, 14 dimes in 30 minutesGawdamn
>>154159159Technically hes never played for the wizards kek. He got hurt in Dallas.
>>154159194Typical Jokic stats
okc is clapping the cloppers....
Go Suns
chetty going off
>>154159194>greatest statistical season of all time>team has 50+ wins>not mvp
>>154159264>team has 50+ winsMVPs should be winning 60 games. Even dogshit teams like the Lakers and Wolves can get to 50 wins
Chetty legacy game
>>154159264Don't care about the MVP arguments anymore desu, he's a dawg and people can argue about his rank but anyone watching knows he's a special player
>>154159299SGA has a maximum of 3-4 highlights per season. Snoozefest.
Does anyone actually believe SGA has a bigger impact on a game than jokic? If you were making a team, would anyone actually pick sga over jokic? I mean what are we even talking about? What actual reason is there to pick sga for mvp? His team is better? Lol. Give the award to OKC then
>>154159264skin color check
>>154159375their only argument is the "defense" one, and its completely dishonest. SGA isnt a great defender, and joker isnt even close to being one of the worst defenders in nba history
>>154159375SGA can fit in any team and be elite. Jokic requires you to build an entire roster around him and it will top out at being mid since he needs 100 touches a game to statpad and wastes his team's development on learning to play off of him. The team argument stopped being a thing when SGA dominated and outplayed Jokic while missing 3 starters and his 6th man; he's simply a superior player that can elevate anybody he plays with, unlike Jokic.
>>154159408>Jokic requires you to build an entire roster around him>its super hard to build around a guy who is an elite pointthats like saying its hard to build around nash or kidd or haliburton
>>154159375People need to stop giving weight to the MVP shit, it's been a narrative award for a long time before Westbrook/Jokic won
>>154159424what was the narrative in 2002 when they gave it to duncan
>>154159132Im not even a rapshits fan, I included scottie because hes the closest thing to draymond. My team absolutely shreds defensively, almost all of them can dribble, drive, shoot and pass, and Steph would provide the most open looks for every player on the team of all time.
>>154159423None of those players but Kidd ever won anything,and Kidd was a roleplayer when did win. Denver is forced to play zone defense to protect Jokic at all times, and needs an Aaron Gordon/Christian Braun type players to cover for him at all times. Compare that to Shai that can make small ball lineups with 6'9 Jaylin williams and 3 other guards off of his bench almost as devastating as their starting lineup, even when half of them are shooting below average from 3 like Caruso and AJ mitchell
>he statpads!>he's a cone on defense!!>his rebounds are fake!>his assists are fake!>he's heliocentric!!!What's next?
>>154159468he cant jump over a curb. he doesnt like basketball
>>154159468He can't make it out of the second round unless he's playing 3 play-in teams.
>>154159468All faxs
>>154159468>whats the difference between him and westbrookI heard and seen that one before
>>154159497>mamas boywow cool as hell
carter bryant goin wild tonight
>>154159468he's fat
>>154159485Remember when people said the Nuggets couldn't beat a 50-win team and they beat the Clippers and people were earnestly asking why they never beat a 51-win team
>>154159408You are extremely low iq, no offense
>>154159541Remember when he needed Jamal Murray and MPJ to win him a ring? Yeah that's why we all call him Chokic
>>154159558this isnt even an argument kek wtf
MPJ, the known playoff riser
>>154159568>this isnt even an argument
>>154159577All the games were played at 7am Indonesian time. No fucking way your stupid ass was watching the games
jokic getting the longest winning streak he's ever had in his career? quick time for another jokic's discourse>>154159592i usually wake up at 4.30am and at 7am i'm already at the office
>>154159592It's funny to see all the international flags act like they are watching NBA in the middle of the night/mornings on a religious basis. They aren't fooling anyone
>>154159601Thanks for confirming you aren't watching the games and are at work, but we all knew that already
>>154159608>implying i can't watch the stream when i have fuck all to do at work
>>154159541They went to 7 on an Aaron Gordon miracle dunk. It was extremely fraudulent.>>154159552You're a jokicfag so I give your opinion no respect. You just look at PRA and efficiency and think he's some kind of elite player when he's losing to teams like the Podz Warriors, hospital grizzlies, and 20 win wizards.
>>154159618Was it fraudulent when they pushed OKC to 7 games too
>>154159615shitposting on /nba/ while at work is the best
>>154159624it took 2 AG buzzer beaters.So yes.
>>154159624The won while Jokic had the worst series of his career so yes, it didn't reflect well on him. Jokic himself was outplayed by Shai while the Nuggets starters outplayed the Thunder's, and the Thunder's bench outplayed the Nugget's
>>154159629but have you tried not working
You know this is a dead league when they aren't even arguing over what happened this season. Adam Silver destroyed the NBA
>>154159647>Nuggets starters outplayed the Thunder's>Jamal Murray 49-121 / 15-49>One-armed MPJ 19-59 / 9-36 (outshot and outrebounded by Christian fuckin Braun)>Westbrook 23-66 / 7-32Literally the only bright spot besides Jokic was Gordon ballin out until he went down to one leg
>>154159629shitposting in a non-dead general of a league that isn't dying is actually better
>>154159737I read this in data's voice
>>154159741
>>154159649I miss being a neet so much
