>>154516861Knicks in 6Spurs in 5
Wolves in 5 until it ain't.
I can't stop drinking
Klay is my MVP
>>154516875>idiot slav can’t worry about his own team
>>154516883I confirm. Pistons in 7 too. Lakers in 7 as well (rofl).
>>154516861dont run when it comes
I aint got shit to worry about
>>154516899You rolling with us now Bulgaria?
>>154516921You think I'm gonna root for fucking Oklahomo Shitty Gay Blunder?????
EMGOAT REVENGE TOUR>Rd 1: Conquer game 7 and Boston PTSD>Rd 2: Knicks '24 rematch and Kat vs Embiid beef>ECF: Beat Tobias Harris ('19-'25) or James Harden ('22-'23) or overcome Raptors PTSD (2019)>Finals: Beat OKC (Maxey vs SGA for best guard ITL, PG faces his old team, face former sixers McCain and Joe) or Spurs (Maintain big bro status over Wemby who Embiid dropped 70 on) or Wolves (Best scoring center of all time vs Best Defensive center of all time) or Lakers (stop LeBron from earning #5, PG vs LeBron)
That celtics starting lineup in game 7 gonna go down as the worst in history
>Detroit Pistons>Cleveland Cavaliers>New York Knicks>Philadelphia 76ersone of these teams is going to the NBA Finals.
>>154516899>lakers in 7Not only are you subhuman, you lack intelligence. Grim combination. Bet you’re poor as well. Do not disrespect the Thunder. I’m not a faggot bitch like inceltic, or ireshart I will destroy you literally and figuratively. You do not know who you are dealing with>>154516902Stay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back
>>154516958>I will destroy you literally and figurativelyhow
>Do not disrespect the ThunderSYGAU. I do what I please pussynigga.
>>154516956One of these teams will earn the right to get swept by SGA. I wish I could just sleep until June. Thunder literally have no competition >>154516902Stay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back
>>1545169562 teams that are box office, 2 teams that have a combined 100 jersey sales. The winner of sixers/knicks is going to the finals. This is an entertainment company with the finals on a Disney production set.
>>154516972I shoot niggas>>154516978You will obey my command. You are subhuman, you are beneath me. SGA is winning his second ring and no one is stopping him. The only reason why you talk shit is because it’s not June yet. Every team struggled to win in round one expect the Thunder. That should be a clue.>>154516902Stay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back
What's stopping one of the lakers bench players from breaking SGAs arm or landing on him awkwardly? If they do that they probably win the championship.
I will stay talking shit nigga. You're gonna sit there and take it like a good boy. Fuck the bitchass OKC. This isn't reddit.
>>154516892No matter how fat the ass is you can't make up for class. This is why white hoes are better.
>>154516883eh, the only team that I see taking a game from the thunder are the spurs. Still belting that though. Not moved at all. If we get the Knicks in the finals, that’s the easiest sweep in NBA finals history. And we get to make new yorkers upset which is always a plus>>154516902 Stay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back
Yo, moron inceltic. Who you got winning the finals now that you guys got fucked? Me I got the Spur.
>>154517033When the Thunder hold up the finals trophy in June (which he will) all I ask is that you don’t run like you did last year when the thunder won the championship. >>154516902Stay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back
>>154517074this nigga gonna be a milwaukee buck by october 1st.
>>154516861>blunder meltythe fact that we will have to deal with this all playoffs lol. someone has to do the needful and bounce them out
I've never ran from shit.
>>154517028This always bothered me. Bench players are NEVER going to see meaningful minutes so why not just put them in for 1-2 minutes get them to force a fight so that anyone that retaliates also gets a tech? Who cares if the 12th man on the roster gets ejected if you can force a star player to get 1 tech that's worth it because now it means your star can ragebait them the whole game for free because any response is an ejection to their star. Draymond is the smartest player in the league and one of the only people that understand this.
>>15451688376ers in 7Spurs in 4OKC in 5Detroit in 6
>>154517028OKC doesn’t need SGA to beat the lakers
Which teams should take a chance on Morant, Sabonis, Zion, or any other distressed star or former star asset?
>>154517116the reason this very legitimate and very obvious strategy isn't deployed is simply because it's not a legitimate competition.
>>154517105the sad truth is that the spurs are the only team that can beat OKC. they are just that good. I blame the east for being full of frauds.
>>154517028This is where bronsexuals are now topkek>lebron must win another ring lets injure the whole leagueThe absolute state of the bron dick rider
>>154516944kino
>>154517152>MorantNobody>SabonisInceltics>ZionHornets>BrownWizards
I forgot how brutal the nba playoff schedule is. 76ers already have to play again.
I’ve seen reports that AD might get traded again. Why would the wizards do that? Trae/Top pick/whatever young guy/Sarr/AD is a playoff team if they hit on their pick
>>154517189the thunder haven't played basketball in 3 weeks btw.
>>15451718976ers schedule has been brutal all season
>>154517185Heat or Suns should take a swing at Morant. Heat just need to stay relevant enough to be a sneaky playoff team and could try to fix Morant. Suns need a Poingt guard so Booker can move off ball, and they can buy low on him.
The Knicks have played the spurs well this season. I think they’re the only East team that can give the spurs trouble, and they could take a game or 2 off the Thunder.
it just wasnt his year . . .
>>154517229gap year, we chillin
>>154517152Rockets should try to dump KD for Ja
>>154517068That poor guy on the left hair is disappearing at the temples.
>>154517236rockets fan here, hell fuck no. hell no. hell no. hell no.
>>154517236KD for AD
>>154517236The constant teams switching that KD and Harden do is my least favorite aging player arc. I can easily see jn 5 years harden is on 3 more teams
>>154517105Thankfully my LakeGODS will shut him up in a week
>>154516944Emsneed owns KAT Maxey is more talented than Bumson VJ is more dawg than HartPlayoff P is more juiced than OG Oubre is not a bitch like Mikal Drummond is more of a beast than RobinsonSixers in 6
>>154517236rockets fans said they wouldn't trade sengun for giannis, I dont think they would like this.
>mosley firedcan we get Kerr next please
>>154517264Bucks would never do that shit lmfao
The Sixers are better at every position. Da fuq the knickerbockers gonna do...
>>154517269They would’ve done it T the start of the season if picks were attached. Either amen and one more good player and picks or Sengun and picks and one more good player .Now neither of them can get Giannis
Gap year more like gap decade.
>>154517267Magic has too many dark skin players for Kerr
more like gape year
>>154517152No one should take Morant. Sabo can be rehabbed with a good offensive coach. Zion should go to the Wiz
[Charania] BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are hiring Masai Ujiri as the franchise's new Team President and Alternate Governor, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon. Ujiri ran the Toronto Raptors from 2013 to 2025, serving as the architect of the 2019 NBA championship team.
>>154517152Zion is actually decent if he can stay injury freeJa Morant is just a vibe killer, fuck that bozo.
>>154517321>2019 NBA championship team.he only needed kawhi to absolutely tank his trade value to get it done
My Nugget should get Brooks or Bane and some nigga that's goated at rebounding.
>>154517262refs will defend the knicks with their lives
>>154517333Warriors should take a swing at Zion. Zion at his peak powers can be a top 15 player. I’m not sure if injuries have taken away that potential but he put up good numbers this year
Bruh
>>154517300The Inceltics can only win 1 ring every 12-22 years with a stacked squad and weak conference. Only a matter of time before the Lakers overtake them.
>>154517357>refs will defend the knicks with their liveswhy? james dolan is the biggest pain in adam silver's ass for the last decade
>>154517394who knows? but refs fucked philly last time they played the knicks
Who eats pussy on the Xers and Knisk? KAT and Hart 100% be all up in that shit. Ebiitch eats ass. We know that for sure. His own at least. Maxey is a good yute, he don't do none of that. Seems like Knisk got the edge.>>154517390Rings only count if they were gotten after the year 1980.
Inside the nba would be better if they stopped pretending like they care about serious basketball and just turns into a fully comedy show. they can still discuss basketball, but don’t bother with any real analysis.
>>154517471>Inside the nbashit was good like 10 years ago
>>154517394>why?because the knicks are the bigger market and have more fans. see 2024 playoffs sixers "home" game crowds vs them.
Can Embiid's knees last the entire postseason?
Shams Charania@ShamsCharaniaMinnesota's Anthony Edwards was a significant participant in Timberwolves shootaround this morning and wants to return in Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs, sources tell ESPN. Edwards is pushing to play, but he and the team's medical staff will make a decision later today.HE'S A DEMON
>>154517366HIS PHONE'S RECONNECTED
>>154517538hyperextensions are nothing burgers lets be ffrfr
>>154517538was SAS -14.5 before this tweet
>>154517532probably not but if he can win the east, his PR and legacy will forever be rewritten
>we've had 2 teams overcome a 3-1 deficit this year>we have yet to see a team overcome a 3-0 deficit in the league's historypredict when who the ultimate choker will be
>>154517594Has to be the smelltics.
I need PG, Harden or Anthony Edwards to get a ring this year.
>>154517594my magic
Jaylen Brown is a high iq black man. We're talking 103 iq
>>154517471That’s exactly what they do now
>>154517594This is tricky. If you’re down 3-0 it means you either fucking suck or are greatly overpowered by the other team. Even if you’re best players are injured and they come back it shouldn’t be enough to win 4 straight game.I think they’re only scenario it happens is because >the team up 3-0 has its best players get injured >the team down 0-3 best players were injured and came back And these two things have to happen at the same time
>>154517613Would be cool but we getting another OKC ring. Dark times
>>154516943honestly you can rationalize the sga, jalen, jaylin zestiness as just a dumb cringe video they made but how do you explain all the mccain shit? Dude is a just a straight up homo.
>>154517594>>154517624Knicks or Sixers this seriesWatch almost all of their starters drop like flies from injuries
>>154517626damnhow's deployment btw?
>>154517633I could justify it if it was just one video and considering SGA is canadian and canadian blacks talk zesty by default but SGA specifically is also a certified homo.
>Jaylen Brown>Kyrie Irvingthese are the blacks' favorite players? kwab
>>154517633Jared is like octaroon Filipino
I miss Ghetto Filipino. He was gotaed.
>>154516943>>154517633its time to admit it that nba players enjoy zest. its part of the culture
>>154517696Just black culture.
I didn't miss you at all
>>154517366at least we'll get to see what masai's vision look like since coop is scottie barnes deluxe
You're not Ghetto Filipino.
Which good player(s) do you expect to fall off a cliff next year? Which do you expect to be injury fucked?
>>154517708cooper flagg's idol is gayson gaytum
>>154517726Giannis
>>154517726Embdi.
Mavs are in for a dark age. Pooper Scooper needs to get the hell out of there
I'm every single Filipino flag that's posted here since 2015
You're still not Ghetto Filipino.>>154517731This has to be a lie. Aint no way, five.
>>154517726what the other posters said plus Ant and [spoiler]Wemby[/spoiler]
Tell me how it isn't systemic racism that Jamal Mosely gets fired but Will Hardy gets an extension with a 107-221 record.
>>154517726Bam. Back injuries are no joke and he will either have a noticeable drop off or just not stay healthy the whole season.
Now these niggas want fucking equity LMAO. They gonna start cutting checks? Paying team/operations staff, arena costs, maintenance, etc. too? Fucking retarded babboons.
>>154517164retard people have been saying this about the thunder since last season, if caruso gets to clobber on defense 24/7 and dort literally gets to injure other players (see morant) then someone needs to pay them in returnstop being a disingenuous faggot for once in your life
You don't belong on /nba/ if you don't know who Ghetto Filipino is and you also don't belong here if you made any retardedass excuse for the dirty refshilled foul baiting disingenuous zesty OKC.
>>154517749Flagg is from Maine, he was born in 06, he grew up watching Tatums. He’s a Celtics fan
>>154517116That cost Draymond a ring
>>154517775Type this again without crying.>>154516902Stay there, be a man, don’t run, fight back.Fuck the lakers and the dirty city of Los Angeles. Sending you home will be the joy of my month. Talked shit all season, now face this belt.
>>154517795lmaooooooooooo
I still can't believe the Celtics blew a 3-1 lead to the 76ers and Embiid only played like 3 games that series.
>>154517774If you work at McDonald's, they don't give you equity.This nigga made over half a billion dollars shooting a basketball, and he says it's not fair he didn't get equity.Shut the fuck up.
>5 of the top 7 offensive rebounding teams are already eliminated ummm boardsisters?
>>154517818You haven't watched basketball for the past 6 years?
Jordan’s top ten plays wouldn’t be in LeBron’s top 50
ONLYFANS ON THREE
>they see LeMickey's micropenis
>>154517839Of course not. Lebron doesnt have 6 pictures of him holding the nba trophy
>>154517850first jaden ivey, now hvl, chicago is a godless city
Live by the 3, die by the 3
>>154517836when's the last time a 2nd seed blew a 3-1 lead and their mvp candidate ran to twitch to cry refball
>>154517851> Chokic was eliminated in the second round 2 years in a row before getting eliminated by the hospital wolves.
>>154517871Never, it's a world first, but also they did another very similar world first a few years back.
>not five>not six>not seven
Masai Warrior is a Maverick!Project 69 is back.
>"It was my favorite year of my basketball career"wtf did Jaylen Brown mean by this?
>>154517875Isn't he a Grizzlies fan?
>>154517850>chicago dumped Angel and HVLBLM protests when?
>>154517879Also did this a few years back
>>154517538Probably not game 1 but should be good to go game 2 onwards.
>Kevin Durant’s "moodiness" wore on the Rockets’ young players throughout the season, per >@BannedMacMahon/@ramonashelburne (espn.com/nba/story/_/id…).>Durant’s alleged burner account also ruffled some feathers internally.https://x.com/esidery/status/2051324957624328384?s=46
>>154517904Even bigger KWAB
>>154517850>waiving a second year player after a star college careerDamn, the WNBA isn't a joke.Guys like Zion and LaMelo be holding highway robbery sessions 3 seasons in, with little to no production, because they have "potential."WNBA kicks you to the curb on day 2
>>154517850The national lesbians association is an evil ass league.
>>154517919Yeah after every team had their main 3 injured.
>>154517933>WNBA kicks you to the curb on day 2I remember Kyrse Godzrieck was a 3rd overall pick and waived within a year. Now shes just an IG hoe who got choked in a hotel by Kevin Porter Jr. Last I checked she was dating Jaylen Brown.
>>154517850all I know about her is that she has an incredible set of thighs and ass
>>154517875Gee, how did I guess racists here would be blaming Jokic when it was Murray who shit the bed? Imagine my shock.>>154517904I am not a Denver or Memphis fan.
>>154517774the reason the league is so shit is because the players have too much power, and now theyre demanding more. If the owners cave in, things will only get worse
I know which team he's a fan of but I'm not snitching.
It don't matter since LakeGODS and LeGOAT run the league anyway
>>154517982You don't because I've never stated it here and never will.Anyone who has ever claimed to be me and stated what team they support, or anyone who will ever claim to be me and state what team they support, was/is not me.This ain't about me or my team. It's about LeBalco being a bitch with zero real rings.
We smacked the bookies up in the 1st round. Let's tally up:32-23 (58%)up +8.4 units16% ROIYeah. We cooked them. But we have a lot of playoffs left to go. 2nd round starts tonight with two good matchups. Let's smash those bookies.>76ers to win series @+200My preliminary thoughts on this series are that the 76ers win and move onto the ECF. I just think they are better than the Knicks at every positon. They are peaking at the right time. The Knicks beat up on a Hawks team that had no size. I think Embiid (if healty, big if) is better than KAT. I think Maxey is less streaky than Brunson. And wtf is Bridges going to do against Perimeter P? He was getting locked down by Nickeil Alexander-Walker. I gonna put a unit on 76ers @ +200>76ers +7.5And for tonight's matchup, I think this is too many points. Sixers have momentum, having just played on Saturday. Knicks are coming off two easy wins and might be feeling themselves a little too hard. Knicks are a good home team, but Sixers are 27-18 ATS on the road. I think Game 1 will be a feel out game. Knicks might win tonight, but I don't think it will be by a large margin.>Wolves-Spurs under 218.5This is a tough one because it's looking like Ant is a true game time decision, which obviously changes the entire tenor of this series. But, we know both teams are defensive minded. These teams went a combined 9-2 to the under in the 1st round. Under is usually a safe bet in Game 1's.Good luck, and don't bet what you don't have.
>>154517952I find twitter beefs among NBA players to be petty and annoying
>>154517965you're a spursmutt we know
>>154517998>32-23 (58%)cap
>>154518015its like women bickering
All of the teams left in the East are the most hatable teams in the NBA.
>>154517998Hey I was right about the magic underperforming. Can I post betslop predictions now since it’s confirmed I know ball better
The /goodguys/ of these playoffs are the T-Wolves.
>>154518041who hates my Wolves?not many
>>154518023He left out the weeks he went 0-3.
All the money is coming in on the wolvies

VJ Edgecombe broke Jaylen Brown
Jaden Ivey gets labeled a psychotic for openly loving Jesus but this Brown nigga can do this without any criticism whatsoever.
>>154518172he do be right tho, Embiid is a dirty flopper.
>>154518172big cranium doesnt mean mentally strong. Jaylen Brown example A
>>154517903It was the year he got all the praise, even some MVP conversation without having to share the spotlight with Tatum. Celtics have a real locker room problem right now

Glad Orlando fired their coach. That guy had no business running a team. All that talent and your entire strategy is to just play retarded?? Whatever you do don't re-hire Doc Rivers. Just let him go away already
>>154517366Mavs really spent 6 months searching to end up with Masai Jerry. We have raptors fans in this general that could have completed that search in under an hour

Name a more dominating player in the eastern conferencePROTIP: You cant
This is kind of how I always pictured inceltic to be like Except that this guy is not super fat
What's he averaging next season?

Yeah they be scred.
>>154518901Everyone knows the Raptors 2019 title has a massive asterisk like Bam's 83*
>>154518901>>the architect of the 2019 championship teamamazing how much he gets sucked off for trading the worst playoff dropper of all time for kawhi leonard. she should get praised more for the valanciunas/ gasol trade. him signing every african and hitting on pascal was a good move i guess.
Coen Carr has a 52 inch vertical and can play three positions

>>154516861Toronto fans are some of the worst in the league. They lost their entire championship core for peanuts, Nick Nurse got fired and Masai got fired and somehow they think that the team is in good shape. Pure retardation
>>154519337how are you not proud with their performance vs cleveland? scottie barnes is the new giannis.
>>154519337That 2019 title was the worst thing in hindsight that could have happened because everyone knows Raptors would have lost if KD didn't get hurt. Instead of accepting reality they think they're some elite franchise. Craptors have been dog shit 80% of their existence
>>154517904>>154517965>>154518018bruh the lemickey poster is a warriors bandwagon, how do y'all not know thisI remember when the lakers gave them bta in 2023 and he stopped posting for a bit, then when he came back his excuse was that his "grandpa died" and it had nothing to do with the lakers losing
we're so back
>>154519356>Immanuel Quickley was the Knicks 6th man. We made him our starting point guard and he fucking sucks. Also gave him a ridiculous contract that makes him impossible to move.>Poeltl is the worst starting center in the league with no real skills at all and a terrible contract>The roster has 0 shooters>Scottie is a second option on a championship team at best and possibly a 3rd.>No bench >No backup center>No 6th man>RJ Barret is on a disgusting contract aswell despite not being able to dribble, pass, shoot or defend.>We drafted bust after bust for years. This team is dogshit and going nowhere
My mets are not done. The season is not over. The sun will shine on citi field yet again.My islanders are going to come back with a vengeance next year and take the cup back from the pestilence that happens to be sunbelt teamsMy knicks are en route to embarrassing the sixersAnd my jets….well….they are the jets

>>154519410>unless one of his baby mommas gives birthwhy would ANT care?
>>154519383We lost the Kawhi sweepstakes and refused to rebuild. We then let the entire championship core walk for nothing. We got fuck all for Siakam, Norman Powell, OG and FVV and have to watch them ball out now on other teams
