Will Antman finally level up his game?
>>154242827my birthday was the 10th and no one wished me a happy birthday cause no one I know knows my birthday. I prefer to keep it that way. I don’t like celebrations.
play in tournament is the dumbest thing ever conceived next to (YOU)
>>154242849Stay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back
>>154242812>>154242836doe these bitches play basketball ? cause if not get them the FUCK outta here
>>154242836>So you gonna invite me to the raptors game anon?
>>154242836name?!!
Sending prayers to Malaysia and Mexico's moms having cancer.
They want Luka to win it so bad lol
The LA Clippers kept giving themselves chances to avoid this ending.
>>154242976They also denied anthony edwards' claim who had 61 gamesjokic and wembanyama have to be feeling pretty stupid right now to play their 65th game, especially wemby with that bruised rib
ANT FC no awards for you
>>154242920gay>>154242931@adizasankofa
>>154243061Ant honeymoon phase is over. Media is going to turn against him soon.
>>154242795Don’t run when it comes.
Is the MIP award tied to the 65 game rule? Which awards are affected? I heard Bruce Brown isn't eligible for awards despite playing 80 games but what if an MIP candidate got his minutes or something
>>154243113Nice of you to return. /nba/ witnessed run like a coward when it came. Thought you could hide from me? I’m here. Say something. Be a man. Lukas career is over. SGA will hold another FMVP in June (again).>>154243127Stay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back.>>154243113This poster admitted he’s afraid to reply to me.
>Just in: The NBA and NBPA have ruled in favor of Lakers' Luka Doncic and Pistons' Cade Cunningham on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule, making both eligible for all 2025-26 season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams, sources tell ESPN.https://x.com/shamscharania/status/2044800831107838384?s=46
>>154243127Nah I'm running if this gayass nigga is approaching me. No thanks, stay away freak.
>>154243171Of course you’d run. You’re a coward. You ran when it came last June. Don’t do it again, BAWB.>>154243127Stay there, be a man, don’t run , fight back>>154243113This poster admitted he’s afraid to reply to me.
>>154243154The rule is retarded and they should just get rid of it already, if a player is worthy of getting awards then he'll get them. Just let the voters determine if they played enough for it to count like they always have up until recently.
>>154243197No. Fuck load management. Make the players play.
>>154243154>Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards filed a challenge as well and his case was advanced to an independent arbitrator, but was denied and is not eligible for awards, sources said.
>>154243154This league is a joke. Why even do this when they have no shot at the mvp? Same with slapping a flagrant 1 on lamelo after the game. The fuck is that going to do? Playoffs havent even started yet.
>>154243210Exactly. Raise it to 70
>>154243222All NBA = bigger super max
Steph Curry is better than LeBron and Michael Jordan. Agreed?
>>154243227Then why did ant get denied?
>>154243239Because he didn’t have to leave the country due to childbirth nor did he lose the ability to lose his lungs. ant sat out 4 games due to “maintenance”. He deserves to be left out
>>154243154silver destroyed the league
>>154243210It doesn't matter how many games you "require" them to be in, the owners will continue to rest star players instead of having them play through minor injuries because they're all on 300m dollar contracts now and the loss when they get major injuries is too high, and the player union hates it too.If the league will just let people petition to bypass the rule anyway then there's no point in having the quota. Having it hasn't changed anything either and players that haven't played in games have never historically won voter awards anyway. The whole thing is very silly.
>>154243194I only run from degenerate cringe gay BANB niggas, OKCskitz.
>>154243261Why is BulGAYria not banned? This place was way nicer without her
>>154243114>plastic surgery
>>154243279>tatum over brown
>>154243261You run because you’re a BAWB. It’s in your blood, to run when it comes. You’re a pathetic coward and /nba/ sees it as such.>>154243127Stay there, be a man, don’t run , fight back>>154243113This poster admitted he’s afraid to reply to me
>>154243299>>154243274Stay mad pussy.
>>154243299nobody is afraid of you, we can't catch aids through the internet
>>154242839Do you have the tism? Either way Happy birthday lil nigga
>>154243310I already won when SGA held up the FMVP like I said he would. What I predicted came to pass, you, bawbaussie and sloveina ran when it came, just like I predicted. Best thing about this is, /nba/ saw it. They know that all of your bawbs are cowards. No matter how much you try and play revisionist history, you ran when it came.>>154243127Stay there, be a man, don’t run , fight back>>154243113This poster admitted he’s afraid to reply to me.
>>154243341Oh btw guys here is my poster on my wall
yo bulgi deal with this OKC nigga
>>154243347nba players use to pose with baggy clothes and chains
>170 million people in the U.S. watched NBA games across ABC/ESPN, Amazon Prime Video, NBC/Peacock and NBA TV during the regular season – the most in 24 years and up 86% vs. last season. he can't stop winning
Can't decide which ring was more fraudulent, the OhGaySemen or the Smelltics one, and which schizo persona is more cancer, this gayass nigga or inceltic.
>>154243331LMAOOOO>>154243113This poster LITERALLY admitted he’s afraid to reply to me. Him, Bulgaria and bawbaussie also stopped posting for the entire off season (Bulgaria for an entire year) because they were to afraid to own up to the fact that I was right. I’m always right. Just like how the thunder will win another championship. I literally ran half these BAWBs out of this general, and it will happen again this June when SGA holds that FMVP.>>154243127Stay there, be a man, don’t run , fight back>>154243113This poster admitted he’s afraid to reply to me
>>154243365Didn’t Jokic get his * against an injured 8th seed?
>>154243255Then either reduce the number of games or we will continue to boycott this dogshit league
>>154243365You dare put the inceltics ring in the same sentence as the thunders ring? Not only are you a coward, you’re retarded, and even worse, you’re a bawb. Disgusting.>>154243127Stay there, be a man, don’t run , fight back>>154243113This poster admitted he’s afraid to reply to me
>>154243210Based and plantation pilled
>>154243365It was the Warriors 2015 and 2022 rings that were the most fraudulent.
>>154242977You can't escape your karma and no one deserves their failure more than that bald faggot Ballmer. He ignored every red flag about Kawhi, indulged him at every turn, broke the rules just to pay him more while he coasted through his already maxed out contract and kept falling for the veteran name player meme over and over again>James Harden?! I know that guy! He won an MVP! >Oh Shit Darius Garland? He's like the best player on the Cavs! Fuck Harden this is even better and we get a second-round pick back so it's like the Paul George trade never happened haha>Bradley Beal is available? Holy fuckin shit that dude scores, like, 20 points per game!>Chris Paul?! I remember that guy! Fans will love a reunion tour!They were always doomed. Traded a future MVP and finals MVP for a guy who was happy to turn his back on two different championship teams because he cared more about shady under the table deals and getting to call his own shot than he did about the actual on-court situation. When you have to start sucking uncle Dennis' dick before Kawhi is even on your team maybe reconsider signing the dude who load managed his way even through his free agency audition and wiped his ass with the team that just traded for him despite being them the best team in the league. And my favorite part is how after years of consistent and routine failure and unreliability they gave Kawhi the same deal again. Because one of these years it's going to happen, right? Meanwhile they helped a fucking small-market team create an actual juggernaut that is going to own their conference for the entire duration of Kawhi's tenure in LA and has made the league even more boring and imbalanced. Nice work, retards.
here’s a pretty simple fix to the tanking issue any player drafted in the top 5 has to immediately be signed to a supermax contract make taking high picks like getting kicked in the nuts financially
>>154243372He destroyed everyone in his path and everyone was healthy. He beat the team that had one of the most legendary and magical finals runs of all time. Who was injured on the Heat in the finals?>>154243355I aint touching this aids ridden gayass nigga.
oh no the site is shitting itself again
>>154243395What was wrong with 2022? I mean yeah the smelltics are a laughing stock I guess. The craptors ring was really embarrassing though. Hospital Larriors plus Embitch's retarded gay ass throwing the series away for free. What a retard lmao still can't believe this fat head nigga got his pity MVP.
>>154243426the series agains the ShitXers*
>>154243362entirely made up stats. if you load up prime video, the game autoplays in the background and they count you as a viewer even though you're just trying to turn on downton abbey. completely fraudulent corporation.
>>154243362I have never in my life heard ratings discussed as some aggregate number across multiple networks and platforms for an entire season rather than on a per-game basis. And we all know streaming numbers are just made-up bullshit. The arenas are half empty. You can fudge the numbers but you can't hide the truth
>>154243436They would literally get sued if they lied about those numbers. Just accept it. NBA can’t stop winning. People will always watch.
>>154243362Can't stand the look of this nigga. Got the biggest urge to sock him in the nose.
>>154243450Silver would heem your fat ass
>>154243461Only thing fat on me is my cock and my wallet lil nigga.
im gay so i watch nba
>>154243426Everyone was injured in the West in 2022. The Warriors had the easiest path to the finals and then had to face the Marcus Smart Celtics
How come leafjeet never believed in me when I told him about my own franchise player I've been following everyday for years?
>>154243413Tyler Herro was injured, Jokic beat a 7th seed in the WCF and an 8th seed in the Finals that would go on to the play-in the next year. Jokic’s run is the greatest * of the 20s
>>154243362>going from cable to network tv means le more viewers?retard
>>154243466>advertising your cock to another manGay and a pedo, pick a struggle.
>>154243445sued by who? and for what? the nba has no legal obligation to be transparent about viewership metrics. they can lie, manipulate, and obfuscate as much as they please.
>>154243470Maybe. Gotta go and check, because I forgot, but literally everyone was injured during the fraud smelltic run. That shit has to be the fakest one in history.>>154243475>Tyler Herro was injuredNigga lmao. Literally zero impact. As for the 7th and 8th seeds, well then the other higher seeds shouldn't have been sucking ass. The smelltics were 100% healthy when they got gentleman's swept by the 7th seed Heat. Just shows how competitive the season was that lower seeds destroy higher seeds.
>>154243495>second most ppg>Literally zero impactRetard.
>>154243362they said shit like this earlier in the season and it turns out less people were watching than ever before. I dont believe paid for propaganda
>>154243486provide me with a biological reason why year 18 is suddenly the pedo cut off age.
>>154243512men who are creeped out at the age of consent being 16 have been brainwashed by feminists in media
>>154243512remind that we have a legal system, not a justice system.
>>154243527or they were gay virgins in high school lol
>>154243445The numbers aren't technically lies in the actionable sense. The lie is in the definition of what a "viewer" consists of. It's like >>154243435 said. If someone's logged in and the game is on their screen for five seconds they "watched" the game. And the thing is, the NBA knows that the numbers are fudged. They actually *want* because back when they were just on television and the numbers were tracked more accurately the ratings just kept going down. Now instead of the networks using the declining ratings to negotiate better deals they have streamers inflating the numbers for them and paying for the privilege. The streamers are willing to pretend the league is more popular than it really is to justify overpaying for rights to it, which is great for the NBA but also completely retarded from a business perspective. Streaming is a giant money pit and they're just praying it becomes profitable once cable dies off but there's no indication people will actually pay what it costs to turn it profitable. For now it's just an industry lighting money on fire.
Why do all of the European flags that post here talk like black people?
>>154243486You are genuinely very stinky and you'll stay a virgin for life. 16 is legal allover the world plus you read the word cock and immediately start salivating and thinking gay thoughts. Men compare cocks. You thirst for cock. Gayass cringe nigga and his Bulgaria obsession, having hundreds of images of my posts humiliating him. Humiliation fetish havingass creepnigga.>>154243503That doesn't necessarily translate to winning games, casual tard. That nigga wasn't even there against the smelltics, yet they still won? What's the takeaway here? Either the smelltics are literal fucking dogshit trash, or 22 year old or whatever Herro barely had an impact on that run.
>>154243558Shut yo bih ahh up, Jamal
Nigga writing fanfics about his cock
i miss the yescers, bros
all those fuckers talking shit about Jordan on the wizards and comparing it to lebron with fucking luka and reeves now is the time to prove youre not a smoke ducker and back up your “king” as he gets swept by the rockets
>>154243558It's really just the slavs. They're basically black themselves.
>>154243362Nobody believes this cunning ingenious J. He has everything to gain by lying and nothing to lose
>>154243486OH NO
If you're talking points per game, nigga, then second most points who? Tyler Herro is second to Bam and Jimmy was gonna be third in 2023, dumbass nigga? So they somehow roll the entire conference, including inceltic's high seed smelltics, but the reason they lost in the finals was not having Tyler Herro, who not only wasn't their 2nd best scorer, but also didn't contribute to that finals run in the first place? I swear some of you niggas in here are dumb as fuck. The scoring stats are pretty similar between the two teams too. The key difference is my Nugget having the best player in the league, and the MVP, and our bench being deeper. That's it.>>154243512The biological reason for that bitchnigga is that he's a gay beta kissless hugless hand holdless virgin bitch.>>154243558You tryna say black people talk a certain way, white boy?>>154243582You just called his ass big, mud. Pause.>>154243612Get off my cock nigga.
>>154243642He do got a big ass doe
>>154243665Big ass having nigga.
>>154243628Jordan wasn’t even in the playoffs
>>154243678he also didnt have anyone carrying him like lecarryring has had lefraud finna get exposed yet again
Why does Cade Cunningham get an award exception for a collapsed lung, but Victor Wembanyama got no exception for a blood clot?
Reminder that there are niggas not posting in here right now, because it's a PP edition. That's crazy.
>>154243684Jordan had Jerry Stackhouse and Larry Hughes, when LeBron had Larry Hughes he was in the Finals I guess that’s the difference though. Jordan has always needed more help
>>154243709stackhouse and hughes arent nearly as good as you think
>>154243709is that the cope?
>>154243698Petegod lives rent free on every continent.
>>154243716Good enough to make the all star and all defensive teams. If you want to say the competition for these spots wasn’t as good in Jordan’s era well that’s what we’ve been trying to tell you
I haven't kept up with the LeMickey missed the playoffs meme. How would the update look like after this season? The Rocket frauds are probably gentleman's sweeping.
Pete posters are losers. They start sperging out if you dunk on them and beat them to a new thread
>>154243725how many mvp candidates did Jordan play with in the wizards?
Nigga you can't dunk
>>154243733Luka didn’t even play enough games to be an MVP candidate, LeBron had to carry his team because his teammates weren’t healthy enough. Jordan couldn’t carry a fully healthy all star and all defensive player to the playoffs in a very weak east
>>154243725hughes and stackhouse are notoriously inneficient volume scorers
>>154242976>Extraordinary CircumstancesThis is the gather step of post season awards
>>154243748what a pathetic excuse , you lebum ballwashers are deranged
>>154243748Why are you lying? LeMickey kept ducking games and faking injuries, especially when he doesn't have his top 3 playing.
>>154243758Jordan was getting hung off the rim at 39, LeBron more than likely wins the Rockets series at 42. That’s the difference
>>154243765>LeBron more than likely wins the Rockets series at 42Don't make me screencap this.
>>154243765>LeBron more than likely wins the Rockets series at 42you're already predicting that lebron will beat the rockets in the playoffs next year?
>>154243765> LeBron more than likely wins the Rockets series at 42
>>154243773You can never count a team with LeBron James out zoomzoom
I only watch the nba when lebron or jokic is playing
i wanted to see kyle lowry twerk for the camera after the win
>>154243797Me too. Put me in the screencap.
>>154243154The 65 game rule is stupid so I’m fine with them stretching it to the limit to let players like Cade or Luka qualify.>>154243685Someone only playing 46 games ahouldn’t be in awards contention.
I fucking hate the 2K CPU. That motherfucking piece of shit subs in the entire fucking bench halfway into the quarter and doesn't take them out until there's 6 minutes left in the 2nd.
>>154243825they stretched it because there was gonna be two giga shitters in all nba 3rd team if they didn'tplus leonard all nba 1st team with the scandal and his embarrassing play in exit to a 30 win team
>>154243698PeteLORD has these niggas shook
the league helps you when you play for the lakers
Fuck melo nigga someone need to check his ass >they play the tragic lmfao they won't do shit to him
>>154243825Actually, the more I think about it, the more I’m fine with the 65 game rule as long as there is tons of latitude exceptions for provable major injuries or major life events.
Cade or Brown for first team?
>>154243834You can turn it off I think
>>154243855forgot pic
>>1542438581990 dirk was a beast
>>154243850I cant see many players in the league liking lamelo. Or the people driving in the city of charlotte
>>154243850Based LaMelo
>>154243850Miami players are always posturing like they’re tough but they never do anything in the moment
>>154243864nah tons of nba players grew up with money like lamelo
>>154243883that has nothing to do with players liking him.
>>154243839Duren won’t make 3rd team now so won’t be eligible for super max which likely saves Pistons from having to break up their team. This decision probably cost Duren like $20m tho
anyone else holding onto the uncs for dear lifeits like my youth will be gone for good when the dudes i grew up with become washedi never really loved curmick and playoff piss in their primes but now they're the old guard im like hang in there big bros.... inspirational to see the unc generation refuse to die..... hang in there uncs
>>154243551I think this is the peak NBA/WNBA TV contract, be interesting to see what happens next CBA if that’s the case.
PeteGOD threadTateGOD city
>>154243621
>>154243902I’ll be sad to see KD/Curry/Harden generation retire.Washedbrick can fuck off already though. Overrated shitter.
>>154243850Melo really did it for kobe
>>154243902this is unc's world
>>154243902i feel the same. seeing guys like al horford still in the league AND actually still hooping is fun for me and serves as motivation too
TateGOD and PeteLORD thread btw.
>>154243902I want to see a LeBron vs Uncle Jeff matchup in the playoff series. It can make an Unc cry.
So what panic trade are the Magic making this off-season?
>>154243981is there even trade value for paolo or franz
>>154243981they should get Jordan Goodwin
can't wait to see what the filthy magic do to lamelo tomorrow night
>>154243981nothing. They run it back with a new coach. At worst they trade suggs for somebody less brittle
>>154244016hasnt he thrown the ball at people multiple times?
>>154244016desmond gonna beat the dogshit out of bro, he was the real tweaker overshadowed by ja fake thuggery in that grizz era
do the sixers actually have a chance against boston ?
>>154243963That means the NBA is garbage and nothing more than a 3 point memechuck contest. Guys like Horford should be getting played off the floor by guys 10 years younger but that just shows how much worse the skill level is in the NBA today
>>154244040ok boomer
>>154243765LeBron just has better steroids. He said his favorite baseball player is Barry Bonds lmfao
>>154244045Horford is older than me nephew
>>154244049barry hooked him up with the good stuff
>>154244049If people think LePEDs is natural they must be retarded enough to think the NBA isn't rigged
>>154244038Embiich comes back for game 4 and Boston becomes the 1st team to lose a series after being up 3-0
>>154244038>do the sixers actually have a chance against boston ?chance of what? taking it to 5 games? maybe, if they get insanely lucky
PETE MARAVICH WAS JEWISH
>>154244038boston has owned them even back when they were actual contenders. Also quietly they weren't good last game, the magic were just somehow worse
>>154243378who's we? your friends on blebbit? lmfao
no games today
>>154244066embum hasnt even won 4 playoff games against the celtics over his entire career combined lmao
>>154244038Nope, I think tatum hates philly because he just bullies them
>>154244051i'm older than lebron
>>154244080Incorrect. Neither Jewish by ancestry nor choice.
>>154244038Of course they do. The smelltics are known for losing to low seeds.
>>154244131Celtics are known for winning championships
>>154244152Yeah maybe like 300 years ago.
>>154244099He and I were born on the same day (December 30th) I however am 33 years YOUNG. Coincidentally December 30th is also Tiger Woods birthday
>>154244171Who won a championship more recently, Nuggs or Celtics?
>>154244179Nuggs.
>>154243981They'll get a new coach and see if a system change can't save them. The fact is Wagner is better than Paolo so he isn't going anywhere, but Paolo's stock is too low to trade right now. I think if anyone is gone this off season anyway it's Suggs.
>>154243435This the same shit when streamers will have inflated views because twitch is running on amazon off to the side or someone on their homescreen
>>154244184What happened in 2024?
>>154243551>Streaming is a giant money pit and they're just praying it becomes profitable once cable dies off but there's no indication people will actually pay what it costs to turn it profitable. For now it's just an industry lighting money on fire.Is this really true? Don't Netflix make billions and billions a month off subs?
>>154244221You got let out of the mental hospital? Idk.
>>154244091thank god
>>154244224I’ll show you what happened.
>>154244278Ok show me.
>>154244278AVRA NVKE
So Cayden Boozer returning to Duke. Little surprised they want him back, thought he was only there because of his bro
>>154244312He was a 4 star coming out of high school
Wendell Carter Jr took Angel Reese away from Jaylen Brown. Now Jaylen Brown had to settle with yesterday's Kysre Gondrezick
>>154244336is angel reese the only straight woman in the wnba?
>>154244320Sure but it’s duke
>>154244278This ring mean something to me man. Simultaneously the first ever zoomGOD ring with TateGOD and JaylGOD bus driving, AND the final ever uncGOD ring with Big Al getting his fairytale end of career rang.
>>154244350Maya Caldwell exclusively dates white men.
>>154244223they still weren't making any profit until they raised prices and started running ads
>>154244350Caitlin is straight
>>154244350Caitlin dating some random assembly line Brad
I NEED some toxic as fuck series these 'layoffs
>>154244350Sabrina Ionescu married a big boy whos built like an oversized toddler. Her shoes are the most popular in the NBA these past 2 seasons. It made me gain more respect for her. And Napheesa Collier is married to a pale ginger white dude. Caitlin is straight. Angel is straight. Aja Wilson is straight and dating Bam. All the good players in MVP discussions are straight.
>>154244440Jokic finally getting his game 8 vs ant finna be good
>>154243410It just always makes me laugh to think about how they were the clear favorites in the league for about 5 minutes, but then the second stage of the Kawhi acquisition kicked in and the entire current OKC roster (and STILL more to come) was traded away for a single roider whose nickname is an ironic play on how dogshit he is in the playoffsAnd christ, I had completely forgotten they also fell for the Beal meme like 7 years after even his mom had to admit he was a bum
>>154244383Mickey ring. They swept through the least because they were the only ones healthy, then all they did was matchup fish the mavs
>>154244440rockets/lakers should be pretty toxic with the refs desperately trying to prop up lebum and them still losing by double digits
>>154244496u not saying anything profound lil brabra this how playoffs work. winning the championship is earning the right to stand on a mound of corpses and say "I am what remains". Cs were the last squad standing, any team who wins a ring is tuff by virtue of that.
>>154244440>thunder rockets>thunder spurs>pistons hornets>knicks celtics
>>154244543they have a free path to the finals again this year. all they have to do is beat a shitty knicks team and the winner of pistons/cavs. but whoever makes it out of the west will fuck them up as deserved
Sorry, Nikola. Silver says you aren’t in their future plans
>>154244600>all they have to do is beat a shitty knicks teamthe shitty knicks team that basically had the celtics down 3-1 when tatum got injured?
>>154244496Bro you deadass fear posting in a thread that has pistol pete as the OP. Sit this one out blud.
>>154244600Knicks literally beat the Celtics in the playoffs. Are you dumb?
>>154244631>a 1 and 5 as rivalslol. at least try to shill chet vs wemby or something >>154244647the entire knicks starting 5 is basically openly homosexual at this point. they're not getting close to getting past the celtics this year. it will be a miracle if they can get the series to go 6.
>>154244664the nigks are free this year. the c's are gonna cook them
>>154244506That series for sure going 7, ur right refs gonna try to stall for Luka and Reaves to potentially return.
i love wemba but the spuds are the fakest demons on the planet rn, its beyond obvious those youngins are getting clapped by the first crafty vets team they meet. if they were the first seed theyd get bounced by the warriors. as it stands i see them getting raw dogged by VORPic in round 2. real nba finals this year is nugs v okc
>>154244465HVL straight too but she pretty mid even for a WNBA player which is sad
>>154244312Well yeah he's not getting drafted in the NBA so might as well get the NIL money from Duke.
>>154244760if the wolves beat the nugs the spurs can win the chip. they can beat the wolves, the thunder, and the celtics.but if the nuggets beat the wolves, they're fucked.
>>154244791>if the nuggets beat the wolves, they're fucked.not if my reffies have anything to do with it. That series is going 7, and Gordon, Murray, or Pwat will end up getting injured
>>154242355>like how the fuck did the league allow this to happen? in the nfl when a team starts accumulating too much talent or capital other teams just stop trading to them/cut them off The NBA actually just straight up fucked up a team I think in the 80s or 90s when they traded like their entire future(forgot exactly what the NBA did). The clippers situation probably isnt deemed as bad because there are still a mountain of stupid people that think the paul george trade was reasonable, because stupid people still to this day think "stack the deck with multiple stars with zero consideration of fit and ancilarry pieces is how you win a chip". To be fair those early kawhi clippers teams were solid enough, that they could have MAYBE gotten 1 chip (still wouldnt consider it worth it, it would have been like trading steph curry for some top 15 player in the early 2010s, or Klay for Kevin Love, which was legit on the table. Yeah maybe they win won chip, but do they win 4 down the line? Probably not.) people forget that that team with Shai in his first year somehow made the playoffs in 2019.
>>154244760Hope the OKC die. I want a NugGODs vs SMELLtic finals.
>>154244760i have full belief in the players, especially with wemby and castle's demeanor, and the championship experience of kornet and barnes. the real test is gonna be for mitch johnson.
the warriors would win the chip if moody was healthy
>>154244877trading everything for a star isn't always bad but you shouldn't do that for fucking Paul George lmfao
>>154244881boi aint no way boi... thats big dawg bulGODria back from the dead... I want a Cade vs Vorpic finals with Vorpic winning. Im fine with my Cadey just getting respeck on his name but VORP deserve atleast 1 more before he retire
>>154244840it going 7 favors the veteran team, even if they are injury prone. okc vs sas is slightly better for the league but den/min instead is still solid enough for them not to rig against it
>>154244760nugs ring was a fluke thanks to AG, KCP, and murray hot streakgo ride horses
>>154244707Knicks don't have to worry about Pacers this year. No Haliban crashing their towers. No more excuses.
>>154244942that desperate shit never works. you get them through free agency or the draft. do like okc and sell your stars. most "stars" in the league are actually fraudulent bums like harden pg13 westbrick etc.
>>154244760>i see them getting raw dogged by VORPic in round 2.Lol. No. Spurs won more than 50 games this year.
>>154244970>ring was a fluke thanks to [players stepping up and playing well when it counted]i guess man.
>>154244942Its always bad. The only star it has ever ever worked for (in the 21st century) is Lebron fuarking James. And even then he only won two championships in 4 finals appearances because of just how stretched thin the 4th and 5th, and 6th, and 7th and 8th players on the roster were in 2011, and 2013/14.Maybe Shaq in 06 is another exception? But I dont think they gave up THAT much for him, and besides they only won 1 championship with that crew.People forget that the warriors didnt have to give up anything for Durant because Curry was being underpaid and salaries and cap space conveniently ballooned right before that trade. If the warriors had to trade any of their core for Durant, what you end up with is a similar situation to 2019, where they barely pulled through, and were playing dude like Quin Cook in the NBA finals, and blew everything up right after and regressed immensely right before they won another one, and right after they won another one.
these young niggas got my dick hard
>>154244991Based knower
>>154245014They were playing Alfonzo McKinnie in the Finals when Durant and Klay went down
Man, even the refs are soft and injury prone these days.
>>154244959As long as we're healthy and they call fouls on Lu Dirt, nobody can stop us.
>>154245028
>>154245045
Who is the best power forward in the league that can slide over to the 5 without giving anything up?
>>154244988ME GET BIG NAME worked well enough for a long time, but between Stern and his star rigging and the NBA mathmeticians finally cracking the code that 3 is more than 2, that strategy died a painful death. Makes for a very good laugh when you see top 10 teams attempt it in this day and age to just for the team to predictably implode and turn to nothing (Bucks)
>>154245075Chet
>>154244963>going 7 favors the veteran team, even if they are injury pronetell that to the nuggets the prior 2 seasons
>>154244942this is just hindsight talking. Getting Kawhi/PG was a no brainer and every team in the league would have done it. They gave up their "future" but kept the supporting core largely intact around them. The clippers ultimately failed because PG and Kawhi didn't live up to their abilities for whatever reason, more Kawhi than PG if we're being honest but that's not something you could know before rolling the dice
>>154245075Ryback
>>154244770Sure but why do duke want him?>>154245178It also looks worse because Shai was a lot better than everyone expected
Adam Silver is a fucking jew.
>>154245252So he's better than you in every conceivable way?
>>154245252Cool it with the anti-semitic remarks.
>>154245272stfu kike
Hat to say this, but the Incetic 'cord was right. Heat do got a bunch of bitch ahh niggas on they team. Hold me back, bro type shit...

>>154245056image jimmy finally gets a rangz with the warriors but he sat out the entire 'yoffs & 'nals
>>154245310You got a talking hat? No way holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
>>154245178Kawhi was already a known load manager prior to the Clippers signing him to a super max deal. Kawhi sat out an entire season in San Antonio pouting and moaning, then only played 60 games in Toronto before leaving them high and dry. PG is a little different because he didn't flake out until he got to LA, but the fact that he openly stated that he just wanted to chill in his hometown should've been a big red flag.
>>154245350if there's anyone in this league who "deserves" a ring it's gotta be jimmy butler for dragging that sorry ass heat team to the finals

Guys, is it true that LeBron will finally be the GOAT if he can beat a #5 seed team in the first round of the playoffs?
>>154246032He missed time cause his kid was born

>>154246043>lead the league in turnovers>lead the league in getting shots blocked>lead the league in missed dunksYour move, whiteboy.
>>154246054Bron himself does this. He said he's the GOAT because Kyrie hit the big shot to beat a heavily injured team.
holy fuck jokic went tf off this season
>>154246053
yall got 24 hours to apologize to Paolo. Don't be on the wrong side of history
>>154246069Possibly the greatest statistical season in the history of the league, yet a foul merchant will probably win MVP because he has better teammates and thus more wins.

>Nuggets are coming to Mexico on November 7th
>>154246197dan dissaproves
>>154246197When I saw the nuggets in person Jokic looked to me like a moving fridge
WiltBamKobe
>>154244762>HVL straight toocoal burner who praises Jesus i'm afraid
>>154246085Jokic's teammates scored 50+ points 3 times this season. How much more help does he need to not lose to teams like the hospital Grizzlies or Podz Warriors? Maybe he should take a paycut and make the same amount of money as SGA if he wants more depth on his team.
>>154246209I'll take a photo for 4k
>>154246286>scoring is everything
>>154246305It isn't, defense is also important. But like KD said, when it comes down to it you need to make buckets. Jokic can't do since he isn't clutch and has 80% of his shots assisted to him by Murray.
>>154246319>Jokic can't do since he isn't clutchYeah it's not like he famously hit a gorillion of those catapult-like rainbow threes over defenders in clutch situations the year he won a ring or anything.
>No NBA todayDumbass silver
I don’t get why black people feel the need to defend lamelo kek
>>154244762>she pretty mid even for a WNBA playerwhat? shes actually cute, but below par for girls like Sophie, Lexie, Bridget Carleton
>>154246387They have to have SOMETHING to do with all the spare time that's freed up by not changing smoke alarm batteries.
>>154246364None of those were in clutch situations and they were all against bum ass play-in teams. Put him up against a good team like the Wolves and he goes 2 - 10 from 3 and chokes a 20 point lead in the 4th, or just flat out gets too scared to shoot and only takes a single shot in an entire half against OKC.
>>154246388I meant 'mid' as an actual basketball player, I agree she's cute.
>>154246238That's right.
>Giannis>Ja>Zion>herro will be the wildest summer in quite a while
>>154246395Clutch situations aren't limited to the official NBA definition of "clutch time," that being last five minutes of game or overtime when score is within five points.If you drain an absolutely momentum-swinging hand grenade three over near-perfect defense with 1 second left on the shot clock and that momentum shift was crucial for the victory, that's a clutch three.
>>154244478Beal is easy to forget since he does literally nothing.And yeah, the fact that the tab is STILL running on the George trade is both horrifying and hilarious. Just a complete self-inflicted ass fucking
Bros Jokic never hits clutch shots, his assists are fake, his rebounds are fake, I'm gonna go ahead and say his points are probably fake too
>>154246411No, that's just a lucky shot. If you can't produce when the game is on the line, then you aren't clutch. It's as simple as that.>>154246447I'm glad you understand. It's why he always falls short against good teams.
>>154246447he aint even a real hooper bruh
Sgay's points are unironically fake.
>>154246408the wizards have $80 in cap space this summer. How wild would it be if Zion and Ja end up there
Jokic isn't even real. This is all just an elaborate trick to keep some middling narrative while the script writers are workomg
Jokic is a mid-tier player pushed by Silver to grow the NBA in europe. He has the worst resume of any 3+ MVP in NBA history by far.
>>154244478I'm going to have to screencap this so for future nostalgia.
>>154246463If they wanted useless dead weight on catastrophic contracts they could have just kept Beal
>>154246472Chokic will never go down as anything but a one year fluke title run thanks to Jamal Murray getting hot against the Lakers. He has yet to carry his team in the playoffs against a top team
>>154246447He never hits them because the Jamallstar has to do it for him
>>154246319remember how good murray is when he's 6 points 3-21 8 TO in the olympics in another early exit for ur canadian squad
>>154243741I dunk my nuts all over your face everyday like as if I'm Malaysian
>>154246472Giannis is worse.
>seething over Jokic
>>154245907The interesting question is who is the worst player that gets significant minutes and isn’t a rookie.Probably Rob Dillingham.Killian Hayes still sucks if he counts.
>>154243279>no single team has two top10 players are we actually living in a good basketball era and just wont accept it
>>154246508It's honestly crazy (racist?) how Jamal never won MVP
>>154246472>NBA trying to promote NBA in Europe by putting a Serb to the forefrontI have my doubts.
>>154246577that's just JB disrespect as always
>>154246472If you were trying to create the least marketable multiple MVP ever than it would be similar to Jokic.

>>154246654Yeah get rid of the 65 game rule. Raise that shit to 75 games
>>154242795I wish I could go back and watch some 90s ball
>Word on the street is you have an extra raptors ticket anon...
>>154246654It should be at 70 full games.

Ideally, the NBA season would only be 58 games (you play every other team home and away) and the top 12 teams would make the playoffs
>>154246778>doesn't deny that he grew up with no dad and is a virgin gooner with zero dollars and zero basketball knowledge
>>154246654I can see it working not as a hard number but as a baseline for the league to review like this. Between how few guys are actually in the running for all these awards/how unlikely it is a guy who missed 20+ games would even be in the discussion they could just manually review the handful of people who went beyond the arbitrary 65 number. A Cade who missed it because of one long running injury gets a pass, but some other guy who missed a week due to injury but also sat out 14 random individual games and 13 of them just so happened to be game 2 of a back to back gets a giant fuck you
>>154246785Also, 1st round would be 3 games.
