>>154845252Please retire
fuck this nigga
Praying to the injury gods that Jal Williams and Ajay Mitch continue to sit out
>>154845252SPURS IN SIX
Sorry, this is a no BAWB zone
1 voter didnt give wemby a 1st place vote lol
>>154845252wemby is coming
>>154845252AVRA
>>154845276these camera angles and close ups on chet when wemby does something crazy are so fucking petty but i'm here for it lmao
>>154845269jdub is probably out for the rest of the series unless they do a hail mary play for game 6 or 7. hamstring injuries are dangerous especially when reaggravated
>Brunson with no first place votesDisrespectful
>>154845286Need Emma Watson to sit on my face and unleash hell.
Any word on blunder appearances?
>>154845259He real big
>>154845284Gotta be Shaq
>>154845304The spurs are really lucky Harper and Fox are able to play.I’d take the Thunder without their two injured guards over Spurs without their two injured guards
crazy how luka missed the game cutoff because he got suspended and that cost brown a first team lol
Shaibros...He didn't have the answers to the test today...
>LeBron James is not All-NBA for the first time in 21 seasons, h/t @statmuse
Luka Dončić was named to the All-NBA First Team for the 6th time. Only 4 other players in NBA history have done so by age 27: Tim Duncan (7); LeBron (6); Oscar Robertson (6); and Bob Pettit (6). Dončić led the NBA in scoring (33.5 ppg), ranked 3rd in assists (8.3) and 6th in steals (1.6).
>>154845267>let me just step into your landing space real quick. whoopsie!Fox knew what he was doing there.
>mark daigneault>horrific team to watch due to his coaching>but likable in press conferences>steve kerr>was a fun team to watch>one of the most unlikable coaches in NBA historyexplain
>>154845366Yeah, but he was smiling and laughing and having a good timeAnd that's all that matters, right?
>>154845252wembGOD I kneel to your greatness

>spurs don't need de'aaron f-ACK
>>154845393This is funny, but that's because I'm a boomerYou have to be old to get this joke
>>154845394lollmao even
>>154845337it's an interesting series since okc overall has more talent even though i think the spurs' starting 5 edges out the thunder's, but like we saw today it just takes good strategy to tilt the scale. this is all just yap though and we'll see what happens the next game.
>>154845252thunders live and die by mczest and AC not the floppin' fraud
All of this just to face a fresh and well rested Knicks who will have the power of Israel and the referees on their side.
Spurs in 6
>>154845393>oklahoma ranked #48th in educationokc fans don't know any better so they defend the flopping or whatever it is
>>154845329@grok is this real
I don't even wanna think what silver is gonna do to force a cavs win tomorrow and extend that shitty ass series
>>154845435>we saw today it just takes good strategy to tilt the scaleNot sitting Wemby early in the first for once was hugeAnd not doubling SGA just made things betterGood job, Mitch.
I know they get compared a lot because of GOAT debates, but Jordan and Lebron didn't really play like eachother. Jordan honestly could have been more of a playmaker if he wanted to though.
>>154845369LeBald needs to take the hint and fuck off already. No one cares about him anymore
>>154845521>non-american slandering our kingishygddt
No wonder baseball is beating this shit nowadays, what a fall from grace
>>154845267ejaculate this nigga, foxs airfoil redirected the wind pressure to foul him
>>154845521Nigga, I will whoop your Greek ass. Keep LeGOD's name out of your fucking mouth.
>>154845369The fact that he's still playing and there's no official NBA inquiry on what he's on at 42 when players from his generation are all retired.
>>154845536bro dont you see all the viewer stats now, people love this shit, ignore how they count viewers now though
>>154845521>Luka's fat ass will be injured by the playoffs, yet again>Austin Reaves isn't a second, third, or fourth option come playoffs>Lakerfags think 60 year old Lebron is the problen
>>154845563What's funny is that Lebron was actually doing what people wanted and playing more off ball, raising the team's defensive floor, and letting Luka and Austin cook until they both got injured. A 41 year old can't be your most reliable player, I do agree with that.
>>154845492Jordan AND Kobe could’ve been elite playmakers, but the triangle offense limits ball dominance. It’s an equal opportunity offense that is predicated around positioning on the floor, rather than the modern spacing where guys just isolate for 20 seconds and kick the ball to a corner shooter.
>>154845583When I go back and watch 90s ball, the Triangle and Jerry Sloan's offense are the only fun teams to watch that aren't dribbling to the wing and passing it to the guy in the post.
LeAss eating is embarrassing. He’s not even a top 5 All-Time player. Ball knowers know this.
>>154845286>filename>she's wearing a pickleball tankfucking retard
>>154845612Rich Paul is drone striking your house
>>154845612TRVKE
>>154845521still better than yawnpiss tho
>>154845594Lakers 80’s offense was the best. Half court was kinda boring because of the Kameme Skyhook, but their transition “Showtime” offense was poetry in motion
>>154845647I still watch their fastbreak highlights from time to time. I genuinely don't think they had much of a framework for their half court offense. It kinda just looks like they did whatever.
>>154845563they adjusted well early on in the season when reddit still wanted to funnel a lot of the offense through lebron, but let's be real, having him on the team isn't exactly doing them any favors. they need better defense, reaves needs to bulk up, luca could stand to slim down a little more and bulk up. hachimura actually did decent, with a better center and a younger small forward that can be mentored by lebron they'll maybe do alright next year
Ignore Shai. Leave him how niggas leave draymond alone at the 3 pt line. Don't double and just stay at the basket and dare his ass to drive to shoot. He can't shoot. Fake ass MVP can only score by flopping and drawing fouls. Force Shai to play like the MVP he supposedly is and watch him shoot OKC out of the game.
>>154845579>raising the defensive floorFuck off no games zoomie
>>154845612Based, top 5 players don’t consistently have all time meltdowns
>>154845464You know they are gonna try lol
>>154845688I'm about to whoop every niggas ass ITT.
Shaq, Olajuwon, Robinson, Duncan, Chamberlain, Kareem, Russell etc. are all superior to Wemby. You know it to be true.
>>154845729Man I feel bad for Pops
>Pop comes to the locker room to yell at the bitch ass team>they blow "best team in the league" (zesty bitches) out next gamethis shit is like anime
Daryl Morey is a truth teller
>>154845722Oops, I forgot to add Jokic.
>>154845754And I will always be a part of an organization he is a part of
>>154845722u dont have state the obvious
Spurs taking the next 2 games. This series is over.
>>154845252im not crying, you are
if Wemby somehow manages to beat both the Thunder and the Knicks, he is officially the saint of ethical hoops
OKC in 6
>>154845779i need a nubian queen in my life bros
where does james harden rank all time
>>154845722wemby needs a chip to enter the conversation, but given his skills at his age you'd have to be retarded to not be excited at the possibility we might be looking at the best center prospect the league has ever seen since shaq
>>154845738all these younger players, across all sports, need a boot to the ass from time to time to remind them they suck ass. Being a friend doesn't work
>>154845805Yes indeed
>>154845809right above chris paul
>>154845809Best SGs of all time:#1 Jordan#2 Kobe#3 Wade#4 HardenI honestly wouldn't be too mad if you'd put Harden above Wade but Harden's postseason struggles bog him down imo
>>154845263naw, I want him to keep embarrsing himself. hope he keeps playing till 60>first player to make it to age 60 in the nba. That one right there made me the goat
>>154845862lol you took this straight from googlei do think harden did more to modernize the position and at his peak he played better than dwade, but dwade's got chips and harden likely will never get one.unless his last season is him ring chasing and he goes to okc or spurs or something for a really cheap price
>>154845838Hitler forgive me, I'm gonna racemix
>>154845862I’d take AI and Drexler over harden
>>154845398>that noseis he part of the tribe?
>>154845887>lol you took this straight from googleI didn't. What I said is the general attitude towards this. You are right about Wade being greater and having the more accomplished career.
nikola topic (6’10 with guard skills) outplayed gilgeous?
>>154845464refs couldn't get lakers one win. they aren't gods
>>154845897How the fuck could I forget AI? I feel ashamed.
>>154845809Top 6 or 7 at his position, top 100 all time
nba is the worst sport. every playoff game is a blowout
>>154845862give me ginobili over harden
>>154845919You were just practicing your top SG list. AI wasn’t showing up on practice lists
>>154845897>>154845919Drexler or anyone with a chip you could make an argument for. But I think Harden did what Ray Allen did but on steroids, and on arguably less competitive teams.AI to me is one of the most fun players to watch, if not the most fun ever outright, but I do think Harden is better at the position than AI was. Harden is the AI of the zoomer generation
>>154845612Facts. Lebron just piles up stats in the regular season and has been playing since he was 18. He consistently disappears and/or chokes in the clutch when the playoffs roll around. Not a team player, throws teammates and coaches under the bus when he loses, takes all the credit for wins, and only cares about his 'brand'.
>>154845267I was told that Shai was actually just a genius at creating space and doesn't play for a foul. what is this?
>>154845337You say that as if Fox actually does anything
>>154845428they really need Fox out there as primary ball-handler. Without Fox, Vassell is the only other Spur who can barely dribble-penetrate and set up pick-and-rolls for Wemby. The rest of them are just 3-point chuckers.
Stay over there
>>154845682Spurs have enough tape on him and will double team him when going left or force him to go right.
Why does the league not fuck with my nigga like that? no all-nba, not first team all defence
Would Knicks be betting favorites against both teams if the injuries in this series hold into the finals?
>>154846064He's playingfor the Craptors

https://x.com/i/status/2058765232005128459second diss on chet from sga this series. Chet gone.
>>154845738I'm not buying the "Pop is secretly giving super inspirational speeches and sage advice behind the scenes" bullshit specifically because it's behind the scenes. He's always not so secretly enjoyed having a mic in his face, especially as he got older and started doing the social justice warrior routine. The fact that he's hiding now means it's not going well.I imagine this is a lot like his final year as coach where no one pointed out how much he had slipped because they didn't want to disrespect him but the whole time they were thinking "holy shit Greg take the fucking hint." His locker room speeches are just him whaaargragarbling incomprehensibly and everyone being polite and acting like they're into it. No one will ever admit what a sham it all is. But we know.
>>154846071don't give a shit about gambling, only banners.knicks finishing the sweep and the west teams wearing each other out is the only way the knicks have a chance.and I say that not to invalidate the knicks. they have earned that rest by dominating playoff teams.
>>154846028nah castle can drive but he doesn't take care of the ball>>154845284>dickerson on second team
leafjeet ack’d yet or no?
>>154846085harden level playoff drop-off
>>154846174points are a little bit down but assists are way up. turnovers are low compared to larden too
hes just bradley beal with support from the jewish lobby
Imagine KAT on OKC
>>154846153they're losing game 1 of the finals no matter if they have a year off and the western team has two days off. they haven't faced that kind of energy since last year when they got beat by the pacers
>>154846189chet > kat
>>154846189OKC doesn't need a better center. It needs a real 3 or 4. Tatum would be perfect.
>>1548458096th best sg of all time for careerstop 5 peaks for shooting guardsoverall somewhere in the mid 20s-30sone of the biggest postseason chokers/droppers though, aside from a miracle goes down as a top 10 ringless player all time
>>154846189imagine taking sloppy seconds from the Knicks twice in a row
>>154845809considering his drop off after they literally changed the rules to his foul baiting?top 30
For some reason OKC's refballing didn't work today. Maybe Silver didn't properly write the script down
Massive psychic damage to okc today. They probably won't recover.
>>154846249Sga is tired fr
>>154846242The script was for Scott Foster to extend the series, it was very cliched.
>>154846260Good.
2 time mvp yet the only thing this monkey will be remembered for when he’s gone is being a tier 1 flopper. Sucks to suck. We will all be there when he is buck broken in game 6 and sent back to obscurity for the remainder of his fraudulent career
>>154846191That’s the one thing about the spurs/thunder. The Knicks have not faced the defensive intensity and grit of the spurs/Thunder this entire playoffs outside of maybe 2 games against the hawks.I say this as someone who wants the Knicks to win the finals. I wish they faced the raptors or pistons so we’d see how they’d look against actually good endive teams with grit.
yall are celebrating the demise of sFAG a little prematurely game 5 is back to foulenstein "defends" wemby at home while the refs watch in awe should be an easy win
>>154846294He’s missing his Harper and castle.
>>154846276LuGOD won. SloGOD won.
>another keldon stinker where he did nothing but drive to the basket
we went from rags to riches to baddest bitches
>Tyrese Maxey, Jamal Murray, Jalen Johnson, Jalen Duren, Chet HolmgrenNba is in a bad place if this is the third team
>>154846305Wemby’s supporting cast is really not good in general. It’s absurd how good he is desu
>>154846305win or lose the spuds will retool their bench next offseason
>>154846321I only know Jamal Murray, the others should be dunking off trampolines at halftime
>>154846332What? Literally all of them have been playing incredibly well, especially Vassell and Harper.
>bro thinks DeAaron Fox aint good
blunderskitz ran when it came
Rockets Harden's flopping and its consequences have been a disaster for the NBA
>>154846189Imagine luka on spurs. Wemby with a generational playmaker who loves lobsLuka with strong defensive wings and a 7'6 freak behind him so he doesn't have to worry about getting blown past on defence.
>"I think they just did a good job of being the aggressors. They were in us... being physical." - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander>They were in usWhat did the zesty foul merchant mean by this?
>>154845267This wasn't a flop, Fox got up under him.
>>154846283I dunno. Statistically, the Knicks ARE that team on defense. You dont average an 18 point differential by accident. Season stats and matchups are one thing, but I keep hearing about how X is more talented, more hungry, above the Knicks in every aspect, then hear the exact same thing the next round.Hawks looked plenty intense when they fished the season 18-2. Then they got crushed by KAT Point-Center based offense.Sixers looked plenty gritty after taking down the 2-seed Celtics winning 3 straight elimination games, including twice at the garden. Then they got worked.Cavs' all-world backcourt completely exposed the 60-win Pistons. Then they got outmaneuvered by a pick-your-poison offense and out game-planned by their(twice) former coach.
>>154846428>Cavs' all-world backcourt
>>154846434To be fair he did say it got exposed.
>>154846434yeah in massive quotation marks. leavlanders really thought but won't defend that shit any longer
>>154846428How much of this is padded from that Hawks blow out?
>AHHHH CARUSO PLEASE SAVE MY SEASON
>>154846428lel that's right the cavs fired mike brown twice. meanwhile kenny's dentures are seeping microplastics into his frontal lobe talking about statistically we won hahahahaha
>>154845398Curry carried fraud kerr by being the most exciting player of his generation
Fox and Harper playing while injured is a disaster waiting to happen. Any my Knicks will deliver the final blow.
>>154845267Fox entered his space ever so slightly then steps out of it before Shai kicks his feet out in front of him away from Fox. He had plenty of space to land. Incredible flop.
Shit Holmgren
>>154846454that's just points allowed on defense, not point differential. i guess that's related in a way, if you are getting crushed so badly you just roll over and give up trying to score.>those cage fighters only lost so badly because they stopped trying to fight the bear that was mauling them.
Should OKC blow it up?
>>154846085playoff Shai is so interesting
>>154846071I think so. They look really dominant this year.
>>154846085All that regular season efficiency is gone and you're left with Derozan with more FTs
>>154846085Inflated assists too, what a bum
>>154846085Hilarious that Efficiency Man can't get over 30 a night even with horrible splits from volume chuckingbro is Nets Mikal with a prime Jordan whistle
>>154846558he only gets them when he bails out of a drive/flop attempt
>>154845369Prime example of just because you can doesn't mean you should. He needs to make way for the LA dynasty to really get started.
Knicks have the best starting 5 in the playoffs btw and they absolutely could beat both teams, it’s all up to what that faggot KAT plays like
easiest knicks championship
>>154846563>prime Jordan whistle>boys meme>bro
>>154846563ironically, current mikal has extremely efficient this month in such a way that even the radio bobbleheads are actually not calling for his head.
>>154846563>15 FGA>17 SGA>volume chuckingAlso, prime Jordan was averaging 13 FTAs per game
>>154845612People actually put that loser over Larry bird, the brainwashing is absurd
>>154845337Fox has been toughing it out and I do appreciate that as a neutral fan. Just hope it doesn't end up being a long term problem. He's a great player to have settle the game pace and get some buckets. Contract isn't the greatest of course.
Do you think Cavs will win at least one game to prevent a sweep or are they just completely checked out now
>>154846626>BAWBirdSuperteam merchant
>>154846641they'll probably blow them out game 4 and then lose a nail biter game 5I'm not watching another game of the series unless it goes to game 6
>>154845267That‘s Not niceVery uncanadian of him
>>154846359Harp is good but its mostly because they’re playing with wemby, without him they’re a fairly mediocre team with no real star player
>>154846641You think Harden is gonna prolong the inevitable? Not happening, he won’t allow his team to win
>>154846650That’s 25-20-11 in today’s league
>>154846641I want to bet on them winning one Game.The Cavs Look good on paper.Maybe the morale is so low they won‘t try…
>>154846650Some superteam
>>154846693>Parish>Mchale>Maxwell>ArchibaldYes, a superteam. Then he needed an even bigger superteam with Bill Walton to win in 86.
>>154846693There are 4 hall of famers on that team zoomertranny
>>154846641It'll take ref intervention, which honestly, they will probably get. NY just needs to keep cool heads and play their game. Easy series win just artificially delayed.
>>154846641I would celebrate a sweep, but expect a gentleman's sweep. The hot hand fallacy has to kick in at some point.
Thunder only scored 82 out of respect for Bam
Kind of crazy that sga won 2 mvps without ever being the best player in the nba. Last year he won it but everyone agreed jokic was the best in the world, this year he won it but everyone agrees wembanyama is a superior player. Has that ever happened before?
Wembanyama is a fucking idiot, are all zoomers just braindead? He could easily shoot the ball like porzingus, doesn’t even need to do any moves just pull up and shoot. He’s a good enough shooter, I guess he’d rather use up all his energy looking like a giant retard
>>154846758Just happened with Embiid before this, who’s literally a 7 foot sga
It's gonna be really funny seeing Harden and Lebeta on the same team next year.
Kane is in the building
>>154846693>nooo u need to heroball on stacked teamsdont look up spurs stats in the 2014 finals
>>154846774Raptors gonna take back that LeBronto title with multiple dicks in that ass
>>154846758>Has that ever happened before?BirdBarkleyMagicboth MalonesBill RussellNashDerrick RoseHardenWestbrookStephKevin GarnettKobeAlso, only BAWBs thought Jokic was better than Shai.
Has there ever been an MVP with bigger dick sucking lips than SGA?
>>154846772Healthy Embiid was the best player in the world, and would've won MVP again in 2024 if he didn't get injured mid-season. He still came back and dropped 50 on the Knicks with Bell's palsy
>>154846869Nah he wasn’t, his offence has always been overrated because of scoring bias
>As his career goes up in flames, Ben Simmons wanders around instead of participating in practice with his teammates. He frequently refers to texts from the team's analytics department meant to accentuate the positive impact he has when he plays. Then he sits out another game, watching from the bench as his teammates flail on the court on their way to yet another lost season.>“Analytically … we’ve won 2 out of 3,” Atkinson said. “We’re two out of the three in the expected score. If you believe in process and all that, like, man, take that later. I don’t throw that on them. I see it for myself, and if I have this feeling, I can go to our analytical table and be like, man, the expected score was like one point or two — us shooting way below expected, them shooting way over.”analytics is copium for fucking losers who don't have the chops to win through sheer willpower.
>>154846916NBA contracts need to stop being guaranteed below year 8 and you won't get shitters like Shitmons and Ayyyton.
>>154846656not since the last winter olympics
>>154846885As opposed to the guy who's playmaking dried up in game 7 against the Twolves and couldn't make enough shots to make up for it? He was still better than Jokic.
>>154846772Embiid was the second best offensive player and dpoy level on the other end when he won mvp.SGAs offense isnt as good as jokic or lukas and his defense isnt noteworthy, just good
>>154846964SGA is a good defender on a great defensive team. Embiid has worked with much less.
>>154846944The one who won a ring averaging 9 assists and grades out with near goat level offensive impact in every metric, yeah. Prime Embiid isn’t close to prime Jokic, the only arguments for it are like bradley beal > nash and cp3 level ppg worship
SGA offense is entirely based upon the refs. He needs the whistle to keep defenders off of him when he drives so he can pull up and shoot or get foul shots. He gets into trouble he can grenade his shooters. If the refs didn't support him he'd be just an average defender and a solid mid range shooter. Not at all MVP caliber.
>Scottie Barnes won't be taken seriously because he plays for the Raptors.feel sorry for bro desu.
I’m rooting for the Spurs to win, and if OKC loses, it won’t impact LeBron’s legacy as much.
>>154846916Meanwhile despite not even coaching anymore, brain damaged Pop shuffled into the Spurs locker room immediately after game 3 and ripped the shit out of them. Then they came out tonight and evened the series, despite being banged up and playing a far more rested OKC.sometimes you just need to throw out the copealitycs and rely on based old school mentality and work ethic
>>154847093Old man yells at clouds is apparently effective. Give Pop a wheelchair so he can do it until he dies in that chair.
KD the goat ruined a promising young team, played 1 playoff game (loss) and got that 2nd team selection
>>154845398daigneault is the least likeable person on that team, he looks like sheldon from bing bong theory
>>154846916neets won
>>154845863LeBron is the MOAT mid of all time. A mediocrity. He will replace Sallieri as the new patron saint of mediocrity. Only player to have been swept in the playoffs in his 20s, 30s, and 40s.
>finals will be a repeat of the nba cup final
>>154846428>Cavs' all-world backcourtIf this is true then the knjcks are hella good cause I dont know cavs ball and I think their entire team is shit watching them get stomped by the knickies
>>154846641The Cavs got their tickets and bags packed for Cacun. Flight leaves 630am from Cleveland.
>>154847360Knicks are the deepest team I've ever seen constructed. Their two bench player gaurds alone would be starters on most team. Leon knows ball.
"Ay, Tone. You mean to tell me that the team with newly crown MVP can be countered by stopping overhelp and guarding role players?"
>>154845276Wemby is unironically more white than Chet
thought wemby was overrated but not only is he a playoff riser, hes legit. without a doubt top 3.1 jokic2 wemby3 luka4 giannis5 kawhi 6 sgaranking of mvp level players
For me, it's the NJ Swamp Dragons
>okc literally can't win a game or crack 90 points without aggressive referee intervention
okc and spurs are tiring themselves out and already have multiple guys with injuries. knicks may win it all.
How will spee manage if the Knickerbockers win the title? One can imagine how passionate New Yorkers will be after such an outcome.
>>154848013call them frauds, obviously.
The fact that Lebron got swept twice by Jokic will look extremely bad on his resume in 10years. A lot of new potential Goats stans will call it out. He knew it because he is starting the narrative that Solomon Hill ended his prime in 2022 lmao.
>>154847329I think he also lost with home court advantage in his 20s/30s/40s
>>154848013>you mean to say I'll be mad about zesty floppers being sad AND I get to watch NYC burn to the ground?
>>154847627How is Wemby worse than a guy who got locked down Rudy Gobert in a playoff series?
>>154847850"PLEASE REFFIES, I'LL DO ANYTHING! I'LL FUCKING SUCK YOUR DICK! YOU WANT ME TO EAT SHIT? I'LL EAT YOUR FUCKING SHIT BEFORE ADAM SILVER'S OFFICE!"

Where was that GOAT level offensive impact his last 3 years in playoffs?
>>154848688Good for cade but hes not on that level and he shouldnt have gotten that ruling to get 65 games in first place
>>154848744He's at least as good as Luka, and only missed the threshold because of a freak injury
>>154848688waste of time and energy to even talk about these things.

I am a knicks fan. Been one since Melo. Would love to see them win a ring just to see the fans shutdown the city.

Here is how The Wizards are going to come out of nowhere to bootyblast the East in 2 years:>Wizards draft Dybantsa with #1 pick>Wizards diagnose Dybantsa with Mysterious Kneenkle syndrome and redshirt him for a year>AD sees very limited minutes - healthy enough to be trotted out from time to time to remind everyone how good he can be. His trade value will never be higher than it is now.>Trae is allowed to be Trae - a fucking moron who can't defend, but let him get buckets in losses and let him keep himself busy running around trying to get LeBron or whatever - let him be the tank commander for the year without letting him know it>Wind up in the lottery again and get another top pick>Trade AD to some desperate "win now" team for a mountain of picks - I'm looking at the Warriors trying to squeeze one more chip out of Steph, Dray, and Kerr>Wiz now have Bilal, Saar, Dybantsa, another top 5 pick, and cap spaceIt's the Sam Presti move - only instead of trading Chris Paul for a million picks and redshirting Chet so that they can suck enough for another top pick, it's trading AD for a million picks and redshirting AJ to suck enough for another top pick.This is how the Wizards go from a lottery team / island of misfit ballers to a contender within 2 years, especially considering how weak the East is.
>>154848823No one is going to give a mountain of picks for Trae after he leads the Wizards to the lottery
>>154848864Dawg, you cannot read. They trade AD. They keep Trae.
>>154845252Found the girls behind Mitch Johnson.
>>154848911
how come all the sports writers are referring to the spurs/okc game 4 as a "belting"is the sgay retard here so popular that they're all using his terminology because they're all here and mad at him?
>>154848823Redshirting 1st overall is no longer a thing
>>154848823nah you dont need to do that. You can go all in with those guys and as long as you have a mickey playoff bracket you can make the finals
>>154848958yeah everybody plays their 1st rounders now and the fans cry about how they're busts the whole time
>>154848756Cade is not close to Luka what an absolutely ridiculous take. Im 99% sure youre trolling
>>154848993Did you not watch the Pistons this playoffs? Luka doesn't make it out of the first round with that roster, Cade has the least help of any superstar.
analytically and spiritually the cavs are up 2-1, must win tonight for new york
>>154849059Knicks should start their bench and let their deep bench guys get some run tonight
>>154849014Luka made the finals with that roster. In the west.
>>154848989Risacher is the only 1st overall bust in the 20s, everyone else is an All-Star and All-NBA and none of them ducked their rookie seasonOnly 4 1st overalls left, that's actually pretty good

>>154849208Yeah you're right luka had less help and beat way better teams. Cade has an all nba center and luka had some second round g league bum named Gafford at the 5
>>154849145In the playoffs against the Pistons, the Magic once went almost 3 full quarters of play without scoring a non-Banchero bucket.
>>154848820Literally what N*gge*s fans told us they were doing this year with the Val signing
Chet really named his dog draco
>>154848688what happened to darkskin americans
>>154849014I saw Cade get taken to 7 games by an eighth seed and eliminated in the semis … the east semis. Luka took kyrie’s corpse to the finals though the west
>>154849208kek and lets not talk about duren, cade really had nothing
>>154849331Case got bounced in the east semis as a 1 seed by a team with James harden. It’s not even fraud watch at this point, it’s fraud warning. A fraud has touched down in northeast Michigan
the least is just built on countering a specific team/sthe knocks built their roster to deal with the celshitsthe celshits roster was built to deal with yannis
BRO HE'S STILL LEFT THIS UP????
>>154849325>Luka took kyrie’s corpse to the finals though the westluka fans will bring up the 2024 run forever because most likely thats the most success he will ever have.

>>154847039Watch an OKC game from 2021 that’s who he is, top 20 player in the league at best. Put Cade Cunningham on this OKC team with that whistle and they’re unstoppable
Why is Chet so useless? The second best and fourth best player in his team is out and he plays like a role player
>>154849603The most overrated big I've ever seenif he wasn't on OKC no one would rate him
>>154848911>o my science! is that two female humans?have sex already
>>154849603because he isnt a shot creator, hes a play finisher
>>154849113Fucking retard he had prime Kyrie Irving, who’s even better than him

>>154849145Hey, don't talk shit on my wop. I useda play pick-up games at Cal-An park with that moolie. Dude's nice as hell actually
>>154848770no its not, supermax is at stake for these guys.
I KNOW HARRISON BARNES CONFUSED ON WHY HE GETTING REAL MINUTES THIS DEEP INTO THE PLAYOFFS AT THIS STAGE IN HIS CAREER
>>154849603Hes good against bad teams
>>154849791Because number 11 on the Spurs is a worse player than even me
what if they voted for Duren on purpose to make the All NBA to fuck the Pistons over?
>>154849752ben simmons has an all-nba appearance and two all-defensive teams
>>154849752>>154849778didn't realize we had future/potential supermax players in the thread. my mistake carry on and get as worked up as you want.
>>154849791they making unc play defense kek.
>>154849791because champagnie, bryant and keldon have been liabilities thus far
>>154849603He got a max contract already so now he's taking it easy
>>154849845if a player like jalen williams gets a supermax, thunder title window closes. it matters for the sake of team building
>>154849823if some team wants to sign that nigga for 5 yr 150 the pistons probably dont even match it.
>>154849874>>154849879we are finding out that everyone named jalen is a fraud, barring brunson perhaps
Whos getting timelord?
>>154849892Idk man. I'm white as hell but I'm gonna name my son Jalen. Considering his baby mama will probably be some 400 pound gorilla that I'll meet on tinder, hopefully it'll even out and he can ball
>>154849949bold
>>154849874Pay the tax, take the stupid penalties. Thunder can operate outside of the normal teambuilding rules with how many assets they have stockpiled.

>>154849823300 million dollars for him doing fuck all
>>154849956No one rates those 83
hope everyone knows Cade only made the 1st team because Ant 65 game ruling was declined while Luka's and Cade wasn't.
>>154850025luka missed time due to the birth of his daughter, cade missed time due to a freak injury. ant was load managing games.
>>154850025The 65 game rule exception is weak sauceEither you make 65 games, or you don'tNone of this special exemption bullshit.
>>154849892You forgetting Jalen Rose the OG Jalen?
>>154850039>Cade injury was acceptable but Ant's wasn't.See if you're going down that road then you're starting a slippery slope. Luka gets a pass.
>>154850025Luka and Cade were only 1 game short though.
>>154850039>luka missed time due to the birth of his daughterHe missed 18 games fror the birth of his daughter.No, his fat ass was load managine.And he missed like 3 games for his daughterThe rest of it was laziness.
>>154850055Ant was load managing, Cades lung stopped working. cade was one game short regardless.
>>154845329always funny to me to see retired athletes get fat as shit i know you dont have access to the team gym , doctors, and chefs anymore but damn my nigga youre rich and have no job cant you work out at least once a week?
>>154850050he started this mess
>>154850060>And he missed like 3 games for his daughter. and he was one game short. he filed a request to get those games back and he won.
>>154850082He wasn't exactly skinny when he had access to a world health nutritional team either
>>154850082he was fat with the world class nutrition and fitness team. of course hes gonna be obese without them lol
>>154849823The spiritual sucessor Ben Simmons. Inevitably he will go to Brooklyn so his career will die.
>>154850088>he missed 15 games for being lazy>and he was one game shortThis is the real way to tell the story.The daugher thing is just his excuse.
>>154850090>>154850103compared to what he looks like today i would absolutely call him "skinny" or at somewhat least in shape for someone his height
I eat like shit but im still in good shape and lean because I lift 3-4 days a week and play pick up on Thursdays and Fridays. I assume an NBA player is working out 10x more than I am. how can you be fat?
when does kyrie come back
>>154850119>The daugher thing is just his excuse.>missing games to be present for the birth of your child is just an excuse let me guess, you support deadbeat anthony edwards huh?
>>154850125I also work manual labor
>>154850137You keep conveniently skipping over the games that were missed that had no correlation to his daughter.
>>154850158it doesnt matter. he missed 3 games due to the birth of his kid right? he got those three games back which put him over the 65 game threshold, he was only one game short. he was actually injured toward the end of the season, hence why he missed the playoffs
>>154850125>>154850150your genetics playa key role. some people are pre despised to being skinny or fat
>>154850171Daughter or notHe'll have a new 65-game excuse next yearRic Flair was right about this dude.
>>154850184I accept your concession.
>>154848911you were already following them before the game. you fucking gooner

all of these knueppel brothers seem like legit nba prospects
Kekw
>>154849603>Why is Chet so useless?vegetarian. he's basically a giant walking plane of glass
I'm a 90s kid and never once thought about talking shit about the all time greats I never saw playWhen the old heads told me, Bird and Magic were great, I believed themMy Grandpa told me Will CHamberlain was amazing, I believed himNow, there's a caveat to my generation that the LeBron generation didn't haveThe old heads, who saw the previous generations, told me Michael was the GOATMaybe if the old heads had shitted on Michael, I would have felt obligated to shit on the pastBut the old heads weren't blind, they knew Michael was Him.Now, I'm an old head. And LeBron ain't Him, sorry.Wemby might be Him though....We'll see
nigga really posted a tweet and said "Kekw"
These yoffs have no juice without LeGOAT. League is finished
>>154850540he did do thatnigga did do that
>>154850515Oldheads/Uncs write essays trying to convince the new generation LeBron ain’t the GOAT, that alone proves his unique standing as the greatest in history
>>154850550>LeBron Jam, mes holds the all-time record for the most playoff game losses in NBA history, with over 100 postseason defeats.
>>154850498he's not vegetarian but he definitely sounds a lot more retarded after he got to the nba than he did before. maybe coincidental but oklahoma has had good weed for at least half a decade. he might have a drug problem like kd.
Oh you want your team to be good? just grab yourself a 10 ft foreign player that's good right from the start and only going to get better
>>154850594chet is definitely a stoner
>>154850579Get on your knees and pray SGA doesn't win, boyBecause if he gets two, it will start all kinds of uncomfortable conversations about your GOATUncomfortable for you at least
By 2100, the entire league will be eight footers shooting from half court routinely, and full court sometimes. Excited?
>>154850515I for one think millennials have done a great job combatting the lebron propaganda so that his legacy will be questionable to the new gens. To think there were retards who questioned why he got so much hate that legends before him never got is kinda crazy
>>154850613The product we see on the court is just the tip of the iceberg. Teams are their organizations more than their players. If the Sixers drafted Wemby, he would have the injury history of Joel Embiid with the psychological issues of Ben Simmons.
>>154850637>the nba existing in 2100
>>154850628If he gets two that’s two more than Jordan ever won without Pippen
>>154850781Get your arguments ready for SGA bro>All star teammates>Easy competition>Less ringsJust remember, what you say will come back to you.
SGA isn't even the best player in the WCF
>>154850793Can you tell me how many playoff wins Jordan has without Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson?
>>154850833If only poor LeBron had PippenHe might've scored more than 8 points against JJ Barrea in the NBA Finals
I already have Wembanyama over LeBron all time
>>154850833phil jackson was basically an unproven head coach when he took over the bulls.scottie pippen joined the bulls as a rookie.would you have more respect for jordan if he teamed up with hakeem or shaq? or tried to get pat riley as a headcoach?
I already have Wembanyama fatigue
>>154850793Sga hate is just confused emotion towards a broken ruleset. Harden figured it out a decade ago and sga just took the strategy to the next level. That being said, I hate watching okc/sga and I hope they lose to the spurs.
>wembgod ascends to goat status>/nba/ decides to talk about Lelegacy for the infininth time
LeBron’s legacy does seem better than Jordan these days
>>154850936It was Kobe who started that shitBut he practiced lifting his arms through the defender's arms and making the shotHarden said fuck it when it came to actually trying to make the shot, and just went for the foul.But yes, SGA, is the spiritual successor.
>>154850962>fails 6 out of 10 timesBron would have been a great baseball player
>>154850962Yes, I’m in my 50s two houses headed toward early retirement. Jordan was the best we had seen at the time, LeBron is the best of all time.
>>15485083316, he won 8 ncaa tourney games and 8 Olympic Games in 1984. He was the leading scorer for the 84 Olympic team, and he hit a game winning shot for the NCAA tourney as a freshman
>>154850995 You're right, the way kobe did it was still some what fun to watch.
You ain't the GOAT if you got outplayed by Jason Terry and shut down by JJ Barea in a Finals.Sorry, not sorry.
>>154851052Can someone tell me how many times Jordan lost a series as the higher seed? I think it’s zero, which compared to bron’s 5 is a big disparity
>>154851003>Yes, I’m in my 50s two houses headed toward early retirement. Jordan was the best we had seen at the time, LeBron is the best of all time.
Dwade, Kobe, CP3, and KD are all the founders of griftball. Harden combined lessons from all of them while incorporating Manu's flop game.
>>154850936SGA hate is caused by watching that faggot flop. Flops are supposed to be technical fouls, if the rules was enforced he’d have already been suspended for the rest of the playoffs
>more FT than FG madefake ass mvp
>>154851065>Can someone tell me how many times Jordan lost a series as the higher seed?They love to talk about PippenThey love to talk about the Wizards JordanBut Jordan's career is absent of embarrassmentLeBron's career has all kinds of shameful statsLosing as the favorite, getting swept as the favorite, missing the playoffs, and JJ Barrrea
>>154851120>39.2 Retards will tell you the nba has never been more skilled
Isn't Chet supposed to be an All NBA player?
>>154851065Can someone tell me how many times Jordan did this?I'm pretty sure it's zero.
>>154851154he is one of all the nba players
>>154849971They start fucking with your picks and significantly hampering your ability to make any trades
>>154851148Another cool stat is Jordan was only outscored in a series once, as a rookie, by .2 ppg (29.5 to 29.7). In every other playoff series he outscored his own team and the other team. Bron has been outscored by something like 16 players
>>154851065No Pip, no chip
>>154851151SGA had one of the most efficient scoring seasons we've ever seen from a guard. Then he ran into my Spurs.
>>154851192>counting stats>when Jordan took some seasons offThis is intentionally disingenuous.Ur a fagit.
>>154851192>who cares that Jordan didn’t play in 2 and half seasons And he still put up 4k more points than pippen kek
>>154851205couldnt do it against the terrible lakers defence either
Stay here.Be a man.Dont run when it comes.
>>154849603unironically because he plays PF which allows him to be a hartenstein babbyproblem with chet is that he's a center that wants to play SF like kd but he's too damn tall so he plays PF, and he's not buff enough like AD to throw his weight around but he's not skilled enough like KD to create his own shot
>>154851208youre saying the main scorer on the team had more points than the second option/defender? Impossible
Don't cum when it runs
>>154851247Yes, scoring the most ppg in playoff and finals history is more important than the extra ppg pippen gave the bulls in defensive rating.
>>154851104Yes this is true. I would like the refs to do their jobs properly.
>>154851247>you’re saying being the primary scoring option is more important than being the secondaryNTA but yes. Being the primary scorer is definitionally more important than being the secondary scorer
>>154851276>be Malaysian >thinking about cumSounds about right
>>154851316all i was saying is that its not a suprise the main scorer has more points when thats his damn job. i wasnt even reading the argument
Don't run when it cums. Stay there, be my man, don’t run, throw it back
>>154851186Like I said those rules don't matter when OKC has every other team's picks and a bench that would be the 3 seed in the East. Go all in on the dynasty, fuck the CBA, just make sure to change your logo so you can sell some merch to pay for it and still be cool when you suck for the next 3 decades like the Bulls.
>>154851326You called Jordan>primary scorer And pippen>secondary option/defenderJordan played defense too, dont pretend you weren’t insinuating Jordan was only a scorer while pippen was the secondary scorer/defensive anchor to try to diminish Jordan.
>>154851247Jordan has more rings than Bron>B-B-BUT PIPPEN WAS AMAZINGJordan outscored Pippen by a shit ton in his career>DUH. Pippen was the second option/defenderYou can't argue with people who can only count to four.We Jordan Chads have to use two hands to count to six.
>>154851317come here u want sucky sucky 5 dollah i can give u good time sir we malay sir best dsl in THE WORLD sir u never forget my luv sir i promise
>>154851360im insinuating that the entire team and coaching tactics are deisgned to get jordan th ball and optimize his scoring opportunities, while not being designed around pippen. Same as with any other team.
Bronsexuals be like
>>154851363Bron’s rings are more meaningful than Jordan’s, LeBron beat the greatest team of all time down 3-1. Which of Jordan’s rings is least embarrassing?
>>154851394>greatest team of all timeSurely, this greatest team won the championship, right?Or are you just throwing unearned superlatives around?
>>154851394>muh hospital ring!
The best argument I've heard why kobe deserves goat status is he was doing Jordan-esque things while everybody wanted to be like Mike. Jordan raised the entire talent pool and then Kobe rose to the top.
>>154851394>he greatest team of all time downSteph the goat then?Or klay thompson? or draymond? or kd?
what is it about lebron james that attracts beta simps
What is worse for the product tanking or foul hunting/flopping? Is it worse for the league to for teams to try and bottom out or for their best players to take horizontal jump shots into the defenders chess in hopes of getting free throws?
chetgod they dont appreciate you in okc... come to bawbsquad and protect jokics rim for us
Jordan stans glaze him for being the main scorer but also glaze him for winning his only NCAA championship when he was the #3 scorer on his team
>>154851436Kobe scored 35 ppg when the league averaged 95 ppg for a teamMJ scored 37 ppg when the league averaged 110 ppg for a team
>>154851394Are people who still debate about Jordan and LeBron being unironic? I honestly can’t tell anymore cause it was never really a serious debate anyway, and LeMedia is a finished product so why even keep going on about it?
>>154851472that'd be even more easy buckets.
>>154851391He knows.He fucking knows that the GOAT conversation will be between Wemby and Jordan.
>>154851440Lebron sold a 750 million dollar media company. He made more money off the court doing media stuff than on the court. And he had the longest career and never took paycuts. Simps submit to whatever strongman media narrative is the loudest.
>>154851394>beat magic>the Drexler>then barkely >in a rowThen>beat the 62 win sonics>beat the Stockton Malone jazz with the flu>beat the the Stockton Malone jazz on the road with the oldest team in nba history That’s better than being >KD’s 2-1 cumsock>Curry’s 3-1 cumsock>Duncan’s 2-1 cumsock>Jason Terry’s 1-0 cumsock
>>154851479That's a solid argument against this opinion but can you get an average wingspan+height+vertical to compare the talent/athletic ability of the two eras.
does it bother you that people like Allen Iverson,Chuck,Harden,Russ etc dont have a ring, yet Chut Holmgren does? It bothers me honestly
>>154851484cantman reeked against the nuggets this year
>>154851436strange argument since it's blatantly obvious that Kobe wasn't as good as MJ. Being the "closest" stylistically is damning with praise. Pretty much the only thing Kobe did better than MJ was catch fire from 3. He also had these weird stretches where he'd make the worse decisions imaginable for some reason which funny enough is very similar to Westbrook
>>154845286https://emmawatsonaiporn.com/
>>154851440It's not their faultThey were sold a bag of shit by the media.Most of them were too young to know how ridiculous the media's narrative wasThey grew up with the lieAnd freeing your mind from indoctrinated falsehoods is very hard to do They should be pitied. They actually think losing makes you good at something>Playoff choker LeBron is the GOAT>The warriors losing a 3-1 ead makes them the best team everThis is winning to them.
>>154851502>never took paycuts2010 and 2024
>>154851532I can't disagree with anything you just said and I definitely remember the Westbrook type decision making.
>>154851485You can make arguments for Kareem, Russell and Jordan being the goat. Kobe/Duncan and Magic could also be argued, but that’s a very uphill argument. Then you have guys like curry, pippen Hakeem, Lebron and Bird, who you really have to lie about to put them at the goat table.
genuinely why didnt okc make a serious trade? they could have a third legit star right now
>>154851532Kobe came close, he truly played in the nba’s dead ball era, came into the league at 18, rode the bench etc. He and Duncan are the closest things post Jordan, but yeah, not close enough to really make great arguments for
>>154851572There’s no argument and debates are solely for television entertainment. LeBron is the GOAT, he proved it this year by eliminating the Rockets without his first or second option at 43 years of age.Jordan was getting hung off the rim at 39
Wilts the goat because he fucked the most
>>154851522Hold that 4-2 brody.
>>154851619FOH. Where the kids at Mr. 10000?
>>154851577They are about to be mega fucked by their current roster being due for new contracts. Why trade for a star which might preclude them from signing their own players to extensions?
>>154851609
>>154851609The stories of Jordan getting his knees drained at the end of his career is disturbing. I don't even watch to research that topic.
Ah HELL NO.
>>154851609I'm old enough to remember Lebron getting bitched by Dubious Handle but I'm supposed to believe him beating an injured, collapsing team before getting swept makes him the goat?
>>154851609>LeBron beat the offensive juggernaut duo of shitgoon and Amen Thompson>Only a GOAT could do that.
>>154845252
Delonte West is the goat because he banged lebrons mom
>>154851577>Giannis will cost less the closer he gets to free agency>They have two FRPs in this years draft anyway>They have like three good rookies who are benched until it's time to trade Dort, Chet, etc for more picks
>>154851649ENOUGH!!
>95-96 Bulls, 87-13, ECF trophy, Larry O'Brien trophy>15-16 Warriors, 88-18, WCF trophy
Kek Cavs are getting swept tonight
>>154851621avoided a wembgod spanking
>>154851577The only stars you could get this year were either injured, uncs, or injured uncs
>>154851631genuine stars are more valuable than a few role players who are likely only playing well because they're alongside shai and chet and so on>>154851662yeah but now theyre going to get knocked out because guys like mccain and dort are in their rotations
>>154851649this could unironically doom them. What makes okc scary is they have this perpetual motion machine thing going on that only collapses if they make a big swing, overpay dudes, and/or don't keep flipping guys for more picks before they get too expensive
>>154851692lauri
>>154851661lebron completely shutdown after delonte fucked gloria, then he literally fled to miami. afterwards klutch mafia gangstalked delonte and he ended up homeless.
>>154851649I don't see any of the top 3/4 teams trading down for 12+17
>>154851104Embellishment isnt flopping. They wont call it because he is actually getting fouled, no matter how marginal you may think it is
>>154851708their perpetual motion machine is going to get raped by wemby every year
>>154851520Average height has consistently been 6'6"-6'7" and hasn't been below that since since the 1950s/early 60sAverage weight ranged from 205 to 223 and peaked in 2010, the year Kobe wonhttps://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_stats_per_game.html
>>1548517662-2 with home court
>>154851795cope
>>154851795>2-2 with home court>against a 22 year old who they have no answer for>>154851708they already fucked up by paying chet and jalen williams maxes. chet is going to get paid the same as wemby and he's like 1/3rd as good. Williams seems to be always injured
>>154851765I've watched him jump horizontally into his defenders chest to draw a foul and get the call. He isn't the only one who does this, but it sucks everytime I see it no matter who does it.
>>154851649After OKC loses to SAS, they're going to trade JDub + picks for Giannis.
>>154851577They need shooting, backup playmaker, and size/rebounding. McCain is the shooting,Topic is the playmaking,and Sorber + this year's 12th pick will add size. OKC losing rookies 2 years in row really fucked over the ceiling of this team, just having another 260 pound 6'9 guy to put on Wemby would be a massive difference maker.
>>154851793averages are a bad for analyzing this kind of thing. For example average height hasn't changed much in absolute terms but the distribution has radically shifted. For example today there are far fewer manlets and big stiffs while there are way more 6'5-6'10 do everything types
>>154851852i doubt that more role players will be a difference maker. Topic is unlikely to be better than Mitchell any time soon, same with Sorber and Jaylin williams, Mccain isnt better than the shooters OKC already had (ik okc have had injury issues this series but the point stands generally). Obviously depth matters but there are only so many minutes to go around, getting an elite player to take up 36 a night rather than spreading minutes across various specialists would be better imo, especially given that they have the assets to do it and not put themselves in a hole
lol
