>>154169723Death to petefag
>>154169728
>>154169723Still mad about how incompetent the Spurs were in that game. Popovich didn't even put a fucking center in for that play
>Harden and Mobley alone vs the Hawks tommorowEither going to be a bloodbath or harden will go insane
>>154169723I like people posting legendary NBA moments for the OP picture so we can discuss it/reminisce about it
>>154169715I don't care where Bronny goes (hopefully the Clippers), just get him the fuck off my team
went to my local music store and Ii saw an album by none other then LeMickey! Clearance section the tracklist:1. I’m a Fraud2. Quit on CLE (ft. Boston Big 3)3. Meltdown (ft. JJ Barea)4. Thank You Ray5. Thank You Kyrie6. 6 Finals Losses7. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
>>154169728he died as he liveda bitch
>>154169755Don't forget bonus tracks8. Thank you Caruso and Rondo
>>1541697669. I'm Sorry Ms. Jokic, Dwight is For Real
>>154169766Rondo has always been based after he told Chris Paul he'd never get a ring back in 2009 or whatever
How does one 40 year old man make so many zoomers seethe?
>>154169779He was based when he punched CP3 and set off a huge brawl in LeBron's first Lakers home game
>>154169785by being fairly attractive and young looking for a 40 year old
>>154169728thank you for defeating the pete menace
>>154169797I wish I knew how to edit videos, I have even more outrageous takes than him
>>154169792https://vimeo.com/296293351?fl=pl&fe=cmRondo spit on him lol
>>154169734They shouldn't have put the trophy out in the beginning. Lebron said it's what angered them.
>>154169824I mean Ginobilli and Diaw two notoriously awful defenders had no business being out there. Missed free throws, not rebounding, the lack of real plays drawn up, that loss was all on Popovich. The most overrated coach in pro sports history
Embiid getting appendicitis at this time of year is such bad luck but lucky for him the recovery is only about 10 days
>>154169860>I mean Ginobilli and Diaw two notoriously awful defenders had no business being out there.lol. so many retarded non ball knowers hust speak, just yap, just say nothing and claim its something and you can only wonder where and how such stupidity comes from and is produced.
>>154169901>Little zoomer with milk on his chin and writes AI slop is going to tell the middle aged men who watched this era of NBA religiously they are wrongThis guy is such an awful troll. He's too low IQ to even realize why everyone just ignores him
I'm just saying we wouldn't be having these debates if petefag was posting. That cancer needs to go
>>154169952the leaf needs to town down his arrogance imo, dude talks like he has watched every single of basketball ever
>>154169958I watched NBA religiously long before Sanjay was born and saw these guys all play live many times. Most of his posts are when he's either drunk or on a schizo rant I can't tell which. Best you just ignore him and don't take even give him any time of day. Always scroll past his AI slop
>>154169929Every NBA play player who played 15+ seasons has a recorded block on an all star. Nobody thinks either of these two were good defenders
>>154169860>The most overrated coach in pro sports historyPhil Jackson used to run laps around him in the playoffs

Tatum is going to ruin the Celtics' chances of reaching the Finals yet again.
Ive been considering it for a while and I think the proposed tanking changes are good
Jordan never dropped 83
Well, the lakies are done for the season, but the only silver lining is that we get to see lebron vs kd in the playoffs for one last time
>>154170421Yeah, that’s my view. Something has to be done as there is now too much tanking and this is the easiest way to do it.But how long until some total shitter gets stuck in the basement and they have to “fix” it again? How long until a very good team (but with injuries or hires Doc Rivers) gets the #1 pick from the 6th seed and everyone whines?
my gf is skinny but has a nicely shaped ass and is trying to be a surgeon

lol
My Charlotte Hornets scare all teams in the East
>[Charania] The Miami Heat are waiving guard Terry Rozier today, sources tell ESPN. Rozier had been placed on leave by the NBA since October after federal indictments into sports gambling activity. Miami will open up a roster spot.
>Jokic cant be mvp because....he just cant, ok?!?!even the white media cucks are on that train
Rapbros... we goin to the finals
>>154171644At some point they just need to stop giving lifelines to poorly managed teams. There's no reason why any team should find it impossible to be at least the 12th seed, barring an utterly retarded front office
>>154169736>harden will go insanedouble digit turnovers?
>>154170029John Thompson of Georgetown. He could recruit the best 5 high school players in the country and still not make the final four
>>154172463Hali not top of the list this year
>>154172464Teams that don't may the 'yins should be forced to fire at least some subset of their front office staff, that would solve the problem of poorly managed teams being ever present in the lottery.
>>154172464Hopeless teams are bad for business regardless of whether it’s their own fault or not. The NBA ultimately only cares about maximising revenue.I do think the NBA may regret fucking with the Contender>Rebuild cycle which keeps people interested as you watch someone like Cade be on a garbage team which slowly contends (Pistons aren’t the best example as they got Montyed but you get the idea).
Bronny with ankles breaker!
>>154172522Funny y’all had so much to say about Bronny when he first got drafted, now he’s a viable rotation player and value pick and it’s silence
>>154172606LeSperm will become a monster in 3 years
>>154172520>Hopeless teams are bad for businessThat isn't the case, uncompetitive penny pinching teams like the 'zards, mavs, nets and bulls make fortunes in profits because they're in large media markets. OKC needs to be good to sell tickets, but teams in metro areas of five million don't
>>154172813wizards and nets make fortunes in profits (relative to other teams)? I kind of doubt that considering their very low ticket prices, but I don't know much beyond that
>>154169723>Bronny "The Chosen One" James out scored Steph>No one brought it up this morningpathetic
>>154172463this list was made by total retards
>>154172463I thought Brooks was accurately rated. It's not like everyone is slurping him. Nobody has ever said he's that guy.
>>154173162he turned the Suns from tankers to a playoff teamif anything, he's the 4th most underrated player this year
>>154172813NBA is becoming a joke though. Nobody is paying $500 to watch the old D league quality play in the current NBA. I hope everyone boycotts the NBA as much as possible until they fix this league. If you and the rest of us want the NBA to fix itself it all starts with all of us walking away until they do
>>154172490>Pro sportsI think most guys are in college because they can't hack it in the NBA
>>154173044I hope Bronny is practicing his Mandarin for next season. Beijing Ducks need a new international star
By the way I told you the Knisk own the SMELLtics. Just like we own the Grizzpiss, morantie's bitchass cuck team.>>154173210Lowkey yeah. He's an actual glue guy. The grizztrash took an L trading him.
>>154173270Knicks did not look good in that game. I hate the Bombston inCeltics but the Knicks aren't gonna beat them in the playoffs
>>154169774What Dwight did to Jokic in 2020 will forever disqualify Jokic from being an all time great in my eyes. Dwight was like a dad playing with his son
Just checked my plans for today and I've got a LOT of Nolan Traore games to watch. Hoping this will carry me through to the playoffs. Lots of learning to process.
>>154173270ja morant killed the grizzlies. Bane and Brooks shouldve stayed while they shipped Ja out
For me it's the Sixers. They suck ass but also they could beat any team on a given day if they're healthy and feeling it.
>>154173299when jokic didnt hit his prime or start winning mvps yet?
>>154173341That's the excuse now? Nah son that's not how it works. If prime Dwight was in the NBA today he'd embarrass Jokic all day
>>154173341Dwight was past his prime, late 30s and had major career altering injuries and still embarrassed Jokic
>>154172463who the fuck is rating kuzma?
>>154173395Kuzma
>>154169860I liked how as soon as Duncan retired the Spurs were somewhere from mediocre to terrible for like a decade and even after getting wembenyama the team was still pure ass and then they politely forced Pop out of the building and whaddya know, they were a competent orgqnization again
>>154169860Manu was not an awful defender kek get a clue
>>154169996Just like how no one thinks James Harden is a clutch player
>>154173505popovich never took credit for the spurs success. he never told players to google his resume.
>>154173505they won like 60 games after Duncan retired and were smacking the KD warriors until the zhazha incident. Then they made the playoffs the next year without kawhi. The spurs didn't get bad until they realized they were going nowhere with Derozan/Aldridge then decided to rebuild
I hated that Heat team but my friend loved them and I called him on the phone during the Ginobli FT's to gloat about the Spurs winning only for Ginobli to miss and this play to happen.
>>154173579>The spurs didn't get bad until they realized they were going nowhere with Derozan/Aldridge then decided to rebuildthe spurs didn't get bad until kawhi fucking snaked them, made himself a toxic asset, and tanked his trade value
K W A B
The NBA needs to do something about tanking. People bought tickets to watch the stars play.
>>154173162the brooks hate is just leklutch media attacking a role player for daring to defend lemickey
>>154173604they were still a playoff team with derozan, aldridge, and murray
>>154173661>actually paying money to watch NBA basketballISHYGDDT
>>154173661TikTok legend Jared McCain and future superstar 7'3 Nikola Topic are right there
>>154173275Knisk are unironically muh le grit and grind dawg team. The smelltics are known for being eliminated by 7th seeds while fully healthy with all their starters and a deep bench. You can't be so sure.>>154173334That nigga Ja is a genuine 'er. Unplayableass nigga. His shoe is poppin though. Little gangster wanna be cringe kids can't get enough of his shoes.
>>154173663>they were a playoff teamwow, they made the playoffs in a league where anyone above .500 is a playoff team and 10-30% of the league routinely forfeits games? I guess Popovitch really was a genius because surely no one else could go 48-34 and lose in the first round.
the Grizzlies were putting belt to OKC's ass when dirty dort took out ja
>>154173661If people still go pay money to watch this garbage, I hope they get ripped off. Illegal streams and that's it for me
>>154173511Yeah then why did Kobe absolutely torch him in the playoffs? Ginobili couldn't guard anybody who was decent and that's a fact. Just because he got some steals doesn't make him a good defender
>>154173224You need someone, or a couple people, really high profile to complain about this sort of thing before anything happens. Which won't happen, so expect no changes.
>>154171644You just exclude the top 8 teams from the lottery and even the odds for everyone else. No one's going to throw 4 fucking playoff games for a 3% chance at the lottery and if they do you just rig it against them.And honestly, manufactured outcomes are both the problem and the solution. If you can hand the Mavericks the #1 overall pick to offset the Luka trade then you can freeze out the Jazz for being total cunts. If the teams that are intentionally bad just happen to end up with like the 9th pick for 5 straight years everyone will get the message and play it straight. Stern would have already done this
>>154173815Man, nobody could really shut disown Kobe jej well, except for tayshaun prince
>>154172170>Porzingis played one whole game before dying of GRIDS or whatever the fuck his problem is
Porzingod having AIDS makes him blacker than 80% of the league
>>154173224The NBA is going to be a very weird spot where they will be making more money than ever thanks to streamers being retarded and lighting money on fire but at the same time attendance will keep diminishing and some of these games will have practically nonexistent viewership. Seriously, if there's a Pelicans-Wizards game being shown "live" on Netflix or whatever, what's realistic number for that audience? A million people? 500k? 20k? Might as well be a fucking twitch stream at that point. The disconnect between revenue and actual interest in the sport is absurd. Once streamers stop playing with funny money the reality check is going to be something
>>154173872also the raping
>>154172467it's not the playoffs yet
>>154173831People just look at the PPG and team standing
>>154173943>>154173872Also getting beat up at night clubs.
HUGE GAME TONIGHT FOR DENI!!!JUDAISM WILL PREVAIL
Watch how insane this recovery is. The game is in transition, so his teammates are out of position and Traore has to cover two players. He jumps at the first pass, and then nearly instantly recovers to Bane to force him to alter/rush his shot because Traore is nearly infront of him by the time the ball is released.This was actually Traores worst defensive game I watched so far. Some lapses off ball, and despite that he was their best defender on the court.
>>154174078Poortland is such a perfect fit for a player like him.
>>154173299Dwight vs. the Nuggets in the 2020 playoffs:Game 1: 13/3/0Game 2: 3/2/0Game 3: 4/1/0Game 4: 12/11/ and oh hey he actually got 1 whole whole assist, good for himGame 5: 9/9/0So his highest scoring game was 13 points, he cracked double digits in rebounds once and he averaged 8 and 5. Wow, total domination>but it was his defense1 steal and 1 block per game. Whooptie fucking doo
2nd best driver in his draft class. I almost want to call him the best, because hes a better passer out of drives than coop. But coops drive volume and efficiency is just too much, 6'7 and above privelege.
where are the women like this?
>>154174128instagram and willing to do anything for payment
>>154174116>Muh statsThanks for confirming you didn't watch the games zoomer
>>154174128orlando, apparently. probably all getting minimum wage at disney.
>>154173830All starts with us. Millions of people boycott the NBA and it's hurting them long term. If it wasn't for the streaming companies being retarded with their money, the NBA would be financially in the toilet not just socially
>>154174128look at the forearms on that one on the rightfat fattie fatass fatso
>>154173902The NBA under the status quo is not sustainable. Something drastic needs to change big time because they're about to lose an entire generation of fans who are walking away
Chris Paul was the only dude that could unlock DOMINAYTON. They should do it.
>>154173902Streaming was willing to buy NBA games at a loss in order to choke out cable. Once cable dies after the last Boomer turns off his television, we'll start to see what the final form of streaming looks like. Cost cutting, merging, etc. is usually follows in stuff like this. If the fundamentals of the league aren't right before then, it'll quickly devolve into a more niche thing.
>>154174239Not surprised since Buffkin was a true gleaguer.
>>154174116I remember the lakers getting more than 20 free throws in a quarter in game 1. jokic was in constant foul trouble that series
Fuck it I'm filtering canada. Like someone told grok to act more autistic and post about basketball
Players vote SGA for MVP once again. Seems like nobody like Wembusts begging though kek
>>154174480is this why Lukatards are constantly trying to shit on Jaylen Brown?
my bullies :)
>>154174480>JB and Cade over LukaLukasisters...
Clippers Blazers gonna be kino, fight for the last upper bracket play in spot. Also the 3-5 seeding, anything can still happen
If the nuggets win the last two jokic should get mvp
>>154174165First of all, preferring your own personal recollection of events to irrefutable hard data is called being subjective and it's what people tend to do when the numbers don't actually support their argument. You remember something however you want and with most people bias creeps in. Given your clear butthurt about Jokic I'm going to go ahead and assume you're not exactly unbiased.Secondly, I *did* watch the games and what I saw was AD and Dwight basically running a 2v1 against Jokic where the offensively inept guy didn't have to worry about scoring much and the guy who matches up badly against Jokic didn't have to defend him. And that was a solid strategy that worked very well, but I don't know what that proves about either of their capabilities against the guy individually. So Dwight and AD combined were better than Jokic by himself? I would fucking hope so. All that proves is the Lakers had a more well constructed team than the Nuggets because the Nuggets couldn't counter the twin tower strategy when their backup centers were fucking Bol Bol and Mason PlumleeDwight only won a title after teaming up with two other HOF players as a backup whereas Jokic did without even another all-star on his team and Jokic has raped AD in the playoffs multiple times when he didn't have a former MVP and DPOY to pawn the defensive assignment off to. I don't have to acknowledge either of them as being superior and in fact I will not. Cope and seethe.
>>154174364>Scott Foster and Tony Brothers
>>154174480Wembdork held Jokic to a clean 40 points, 13 assists, eight rebounds, three blocks and zero turnovers right after his cryfest lmao
>>154174615>15 FTAThat's not clean
>you need to be great on both sides of the floor to win mvp>luka cant win it because his defense is shit>jokic cant win because his defense is mid>somehow wemby gets no criticism despite being utterly irrelevant on offenseThis is an insane double standard and this is the sort of shit that makes basketball fans drop the NBA. Im way too old to care about media stuff, but god damn i hate these fucks
>>154174630Shai averages 10 fta per game, his enrire career's unclean but he's going to get qnother MVP anyway
>>154174675MVP is a narrative award, you should know this by now
>>154174675attacks disguised as arguments into "muh whataboutism" when you push back on it is reddit 101it's too bad it's seeping out into humanity
>>15417467524PPG as a play finisher isn't irrelevant, especially when it gets closer to 30 when he's playing full minutes.>>154174683Shai averages 1.5 more than Jokic. He also only needed 4 to completely embarrass and outplay Jokic with half of his team missing. I find it so funny how Jokic's late MVP has come from him beating Wemby as if his own ass hasn't gotten belted all season by SGA.
>>154174700Ive watched plenty games from the 4 mvp guys. Jokic and luka have full control over the offense, sga doesnt have the same feel but he gets very consistent buckets on excellent efficiency. Wemby doesnt have any notable impact, he does an alright job but its 90% defense where he shines, his defense is amazing.If we truly applied the 2 sides of the floor rule the mvp should be sga, and i say this as someone who has him 3rd.

>>154174559>CopeDidn't read just like how you didn't watch. Anybody who watched the games knows Dwight punked Jokic
>>154174729That's because Luka and Jokic are much more heliocentric than SGA is. Luka gets nearly 20 more touches a game than Shai does while Jokic gets around 30+. It's also why they consistently fall apart in the playoffs when teams sell out of getting the ball out of their hands. It's not winning basketball. As for Wemby, you just need to watch any sequence of Castle throwing an unblockable lob to Wemby to realize how utterly insane he is as a play finisher. His only weakness is when he tries to create for himself.
I want to try betting, sounds fun as fuck to be honest.
>>154175022I'm allowing you to try betting.

>>154175551Who do you think you're gonna draft this summer? Kek
fuuuuaaaark we got games todaywhich ones actually matter for seeding? Preferably the teams facing each other
>>154175598Nuggets vs OKC will decide if Nuggets want the 3 seed or not
>>154175598We watchin rapgods v knicks
>>154175598Cavs/Hawks is the one with most seeding potential since neither has their spot locked in yet.Suns/Lakers only affects the Lakers and the Lakers are cooked this season, but Dillon shenanigans with Lebron on a back to back and having to carry the team might make for a fun game.

>>154175792Isn't his contract non guaranteed? Like they could basically dump him if ever they wanted?
>>154175864no
>>154175974so no good games tonight then
>>154175894I need to see some cocky ass niggas get humbled in the 'yoffs
>>154175926Don’t believe the specific clauses are public but it’s not fully guaranteed.I don’t think Zion has negative trade value, just low trade value. I think someone would take the gamble on him if the Pels wanted to trade him.
>>154176043>I don’t think Zion has negative trade value, just low trade value. IIts weird how a guy who can give you 25-8-6 any given night has no positive trade value
>>154175992Yes, I'm going to enjoy watching the Timberwolves and Clippers lose. And the Warriors but they're so done already it kind of took the piss out of it. Their demise already happened and it's just not official yet
So which players are gonna tear their achilles this playoffs? My bet is on ANT, Jamal Murray, and Tyrese Maxey.
>>154176093Jalen Brunson.
>>154176093nobody
>>154176049Is it, though? He's proven to be completely unreliable for any extended period of time, has zero actual impact despite decent numbers and if you trade for him either he walks in two years so your window is very short or you have to give him an extension and wait for the time bomb to go off.He's Embiid 2.0. You don't want to buy high because of his one non-disappointing season and then get stuck with him
>>154176093Hopefully LeDiddy.
>>154176093Maxey has played the most minutes but won't get out of the first round, so he's probably safe. Whoever does the most pump fakes at the 3 point line to drive to the rim while making a deep playoff run is going to get the SNAP
>>154176164Dame tore his in the first round
>>154176176Maxey might not be so safe after all.
>>154175990Shii nigga can still make a parlay

>>154174838>it’s why they consistently fall apart in the playoffs >it’s not winning basketball >luka went to the finals and jokic won the chip in the last few yearsYou are a fucking retard. That anon talking about filtering Canada might be on to something. Seriously you are unbelievably stupid. FTA is on the best team of the 3 by a mile, it’s as simple as that. And so far, he’s had about the same success as the other 2. Again, on a much better team.
nuggest were -12 now they are -3 what happenedare they really not trying to get 3rd?
>>154176492>luka went to the finalsAnd what did he do there? Oh that's right! He got swept and embarassed, despite his team's solid interior holding Tatum and Brown to horrific shooting splits.> and jokic won the chip in the last few yearsYes, he had the easiest championship run in league history where you faced 0 50 win teams and got to play 3 play-in teams, where Naz Reid, Jaden Mcdaniels, Tyler Heero, and CP3 were all absent. Every year since he has had to play better teams and every year since he's choked and underperformedl, with his assist numbers and efficiency cratering.> FTA is on the best team of the 3 by a mile, it’s as simple as that. And so far, he’s had about the same success as the other 2. Again, on a much better team.And you know why he's on a better team? Because he makes 20m less than Jokic while giving the same MVP caliber performance, and can elevate rookie contract players into being a contender, unlike the 3x MVP that gets bullied out of a game due to physicality and loses to teams like the 20 win wizards, Podz warriors, and hospital grizzlies. Nuggets live and die on Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon, not on Jokic.Also, Luka has yet to win anything so saying he's has the same level of success is just laughable.
kinda feel bad for Kon. His rookie year hes not just thrust into a playoff contending team, but a barely playoff contending team due to playing two halfs of a season, one half of a garbage team with guys missing time to injury, and another have with a playoff team with guys healthy.While also being expected to be atleast the 3rd or 4th best player, so its not the same situation as dylan harper where he can play off vassell, and champaignies spacing, while fox and castle take care of the playmaking load and wemby and castle take the hardest defensive assignments, Kon actually has to BE the spacing while being a connective passer, a willing screener, etc. And creating the advantages for guys to play off of, not be the one to take advantage of those advantages like harper.
>>154176599and flagg gets to chuck shots on a tanking team
>>154176053kill yo self nigga
>>154176572The only thing separating FTA and Lukas success is Hali’s achilles.
>>154176599Is it? I feel like him on a non-serious team is the best chance for him to play and develop much like CP3's early career.If Kon was on a contender, he might not have gotten opportunity to play.
lamelo jealous as fuck Kon Knueppel is stilling the spotlight
>>154176572I dont know why you bothered responding to him after he ignored your actual evidence to appeal to results based analysis, its classic midwit stuff when they dont actually understand the game. Look at literally anygame ever, the highest level players when teaching the game never appeal to results based analysis, its a literal gamblers tier fallacy. He wouldn't understand.Albeit I'm not as low or out on Jokic as you are. This will be likely the last playoffs where I can reasonably excuse him though. This is the best team hes ever had according to everybody before the season started and when the season started, it covers all his weaknesses, and accentuates all his strengths. Its the highest 3 point making team in the league. If people start making excuses about the team after another flameout on high expectations in the playoffs, then we have to start looking at the games closer to see how much that PRA actually matters.
>>154176665he tried to dump dirty mop water on him
>>154176717saw that, that's a clear sign of things to come
>>154176647>If Kon was on a contender, he might not have gotten opportunity to play.Kon as he is now would be a starter on almost every contender except maybe Nuggets and Rockets, because his defense might not be enough. And if not starter, then atleast 6 man.The question is whether any contender would have even given him the chance to find that out about him

Are the Nuggets trying to fall to 4th? At 4th they'd get either the Rockets or Lakers in the 1st round so it kind of makes sense but the basketball gods won't like it.

Coop so good
Playoffs could be really interesting, if the Hawks are the closest equivalent of last years pacers. The problem is that I dont believe in any of the Hawks star players as a resilient offensive star who can always provide value no matter how poor their boxscore looks. Jalen Johnson has no bag and no shot. CJ McCollum is one of the streakiest shooters ever who always does the same tunnel visioned live by the pull up middy, die by the pull up middy.Nickeil is their most functional and consistent player, but he needs to be set up, on a team with unreliable offensive creators.
>>154176771why would you ever bet on a subhuman franchise like Washington? especially against a playoff team?
>>154177096The craziest meme ive seen this season is the idea that mitch johnson is a good coach, just further proof of winning bias and results based analysis by human beings with no understanding of anything

i'm smelling strawther's new career high
So Tatum and Brown are both holding back the Celtics?
>>154177781Why are none of the starters playing? Isn't this game important for seeding with the Lakers?
>>154177767Wrong, truly wealthy people spend high five figure annual sums for the privilege of being members of exclusive athletic clubs and when they go there they dress in expensive outfits from high end brand designers and they don't care about the expense because their mutual funds make them 1000x more money than they could ever spend on clothing.

seems like the streak continues
>>154178584>>154178595I mean Jokic is the kinda guy to take 3-4 six packs and get drunk with his fellow slavs in the park or some Greek beach. What does he even do there to kill time, he must be sufferring.
roddy is cooking
>>154178625he has a pool that he gets drunk and hangs out at all day
this dude has been everywhere huh
>>154178636can you be drunk outside in the states? he must be raking those fine tickets like crazy

>>154178653yeah kinda, i dont really have the answer to that because i dont know who even gets fined for public intoxication
Lebron has become 4th player to reach 12,000 total asists, he will probably surpass Jason Kidd this season and he will probably surpass Chris Paul next season. if he plays 2 more years he will surpass John Stockton.

Why didn't they let Da'Ron (fighter of Night'Ron) play?

That's the best bench game I've seen since the last time i've seen a bench game

The Lakers have an infinite supply of cold ass white boys
>>154178873That’s why they are the good guys. Them and the warriors
Why aren't the Lakers playing Knecht 4?
Idk if he'll win MVP but he's definitely top 2 for DPOTY most likely winning it
>>154178926They hate him. Too many good white players for an LA team
>>154178696With how much he's had to sit out especially for arthritis or just being old idk about that
what went wrong with maluach
Reminder
>>154178942He's definitely winning DPOY. SGA will win MVP.
Chokic does not want to see OKC in the 'yoffs
Will we continue the fight to accidentally take the 3rd seed instead of the 4th seed?
>>154178942Who's the other one? Mobley? Lol he'll get it 100%
Kawhi is now warmed up.
>>154178995Agreed. I'm curious if Wemby can up his game next season then I wouldn't be surprised if he gets MVP

Imagine holding back a fucking GOAT just so chucka and BAWBReaves can brick 50 3 pointers every game
>>154179416That's why sample size matters. Filter for 5+ attempts per game and 50+ games played and Jamal Murray is the best 3 point shooter in the league right now.
Fuck Oklachomo bastards. All you had to do was win
22 year old wemby has the second most 40 pt games in under 30 minutes played (4). only 38 year old steph curry has more (5).

>>154179606Yeah this isn't even a bad sentiment from podz but fans like kicking players when they are down.
everyone itt put some respect on the GOAT
The Jazz vs Grizzlies game is why teams that just miss the playoffs ( 9 to 12 seeds) should get the highest lottery odds. Fuck this blatant tanking shit.
>>154179635That would remove the treadmill of mediocrity trap teams get in. Can't be worse than what we have now with the race to the bottom with more teams gunning for the bottom than the top.
>>154179677>That would remove the treadmill of mediocrity trap teams get inExactly. Teams should never be incentivized to intentionally lose games.
Well for the first time in my life the Wizards have a competent front office. For the last three years they have done everything correct roster management and getting picks. Granted starting next year we get to see if they are good talent evaluators or just really good at managing picks/cap. Hopefully the former since I'd like to see a team that lasts longer than a fluke year.
>>154179711I think NBA needs to divide the league into 20 & 12 teams. Division 1 and 2. Promotion and relegation. Top 3 go up, bottom 3 go down. It's the only way to kill tanking
>>154179716They should start by changing the name of the team to DC and pick a better nickname. The Wizards nickname is a pretty shitty one
>>154179765People have been complaining about the name for decades. The only reason they changed it is because the old owner was friends with the Israeli prime minster who got assassinated in the 90s and suddenly felt bad about having bullet as the name. Had nothing to do with violence in the city. Just his friend getting killed. He even held a fake poll where people could vote for their favorite new name and the Wizards wasn't even an option on the poll.
>>154179765they should call them the bullets
We sleeping good tonight. Bring me Utah Jazz, Spanish class, phat ass, Lakers in 5
>>154179800I remember when they did the name change reading it had also to do with the high crime in DC and not wanting to glorify it. I mean if they had to go with a name, the best one is already taken DC Defenders
Both the Lakers and Nuggets want the Rockets in the first round lol, Timberwolves are better than their record, have playoff experience, and match up against those teams better than the Rockets do. Sunday should be interesting.
>>154179840The Lakers have had the Wolves's number all season. Either the Rockets or Wolves would be a good matchup as long as the team is healthy enough to play
>>154179835He owned the team for decades and seemed fine with the name when DC was at its absolute worse crime wise during the 80s and early 90s. By the time he changed the name crime was going down and DC was seen as a relatively safe city.
Denver would be stupid not to tank vs spursRockets > OKC > Spurs is way better than Wolves > Spurs > OKCEven if Denver beats Spurs in 7, they'd be too tired to beat OKC.
>>154179889We're talking about Abe Pollin right? The (((owner)))?
>>154179901Yeah.
>>154179896Don't the Lakers keep the 4th if they lose against the Jazz?
Still sleeping on my Stones? Time to wake up, faggot. Only team competing with us in the East is Baaaaawston and I think >we have the defense to make Tatum squeal.
>>154179896Denver still took OKC to seven games last year even after doing seven games with the Clippers and then only lost due to injuries.
>>154179953I will cheer for you and be sad when you lose the finals vs the floppers in OKC
SGA with weapons will not lose to anyone. In the championship SGA played through a torn left labrum and 2 plus other injuries and still carried his shithole team on his back. A healthy SGA team beats that Spurs team and every other team in the league handedly.SGA just beat the best Nuggets team we've faced so far... It just shows the difference between goats and non hof players...
>>154179988>The weapon in question
Fuck everyone in this thread
Nuggets win 1 game max against OKC, more likely they get swept. They have no answer for Ajay Mitchell and lost a lot of their rebounding, which was their biggest strength against OKC last playoffs.
>>154179449Technically, in the long run they did really good.

I feel like the Heat is unfixable with Spo at the helm. Just perpetual mediocrity and disappointment. On paper this is EASILY a 4th or worst case a 5th seed in the east this year.

Is Darko Rajaković actually a good coach? I know Raptors are shit in general.
sixersfag desu. can someone please help us
https://youtu.be/hwCjeHLVqDw?t=15m50sI thought about it, and its less likely that Traore is Jkidd incarnate (He won't be that inefficient or that bad of a shooter for almost his entire career, and Jkidd was probably still a better passer at his age)And instead I now believe (and understand) that Traore is modern Ginobli.I can't believe I didn't see it. Ginobli always subconsciously goes under the radar for being a 6th man. But hes the perfect comp, and the best player on every single spurs team except 03
>>154184581
what are the best basketball games to check out? recently found a site that has a large backlog where you can just watch games
>>154184652He’s the next Isaac Okoro
>>154184670Okoro isnt half the passer, dumb fuck retard.
>>154184581Hes doing the best with what hes got
https://youtu.be/hwCjeHLVqDw?t=27m20sCrazy how because Ginobli came into the league so late, that he was doing shit like this at what? 37?
>>154184900The stats say that Ginobili was the best player in the league in the 2011-2014 period, purely based on impact
>>154184951Its unfortunate that I don't believe in impact stats, since they confirm my bias so nicely sometimes. Its why Thinking Basketball is the closest middleground, actually thoroughly combs through film, and never leans too much on stats without, contexualizing first with film. I just can't trust stats almost at all, theyre too narrative prone fundamentally.
>>154184993There's not really any narrative with RAPM, it's just +/- data adjusted for quality of teammates and opponents. Still not perfect but definitely meaningful over a large sample
Watch the league give ROTY to Fagg despite Kon being a much better asset to his team and actually leading the league in 3's and Cooper isn't top 5 in any meaningful category. Also Kon helped this shit ass Hornets get 26 more wins, although part of that is also due to the usual starting five being perfect chemistry with each other
>>154185064Kon's shooting fell off at the worst time
>>154185096It has, I really feel like he's just overthinking his shots right now, but I think the first 3/4 of the season was good enough to be better than Flagg
>>154185064ROTY is a nothingburger anyway
>>154184890what do you know about okoro
First in peace, first in war, last in the NBA
