Belgian observations on NBA championship celebrations edition le previous edition >>155244781
Its just unfortunate that the nets literally have the worst logo, colour schemes and aesthetics, on top of being the forgotten child of new york. Because I unfortunately have a reason to be invested in them

>>155264444>actual parade isn't until Thursday.
those playoffs was like a movie
>Go to one game.>Get booed.>That's the only game the Knicks lose.What happened bros?
I don't care how good or clutch Brunson is but if you pride yourselves as a defensive team you can't let a 6'2 guard drop 45 on you in the finals
>>155264725they locked up everybody else tho. Even with brunson going off they would have won if they didn't let a certain person chuck them out of the lead in the 4th
>>155264444Nice digits OP
Hmm, very interesting that only 2 teams in the last 20 years got swept in the finals. makes you think about top star on those stars.
Knicks win this year. Nets win next year. Book it
>>155264527>never having witnessed a soccer riot while posting from yuropu have to go back
>>155264444this is how we heal
How good would the spurs be if they traded fox for curry? Could they have won that series? My instinct tells me they would be extremely good but maybe I’m missing something
>>155265266trading their coach would accomplish a lot more
I can't believe LeBron is a free agent.
>>155265324Would it? Ok so the downsides, they will have to attach probably a pick to make it worth it so they will lose that. Curry is maybe worse on defense? But fox isn’t exactly their premier defender. So slight defense loss. I think they are maybe equal in playmaking and driving? But now you have an elite 3 point shooter who spaces the floor and moves people away from wemby in the paint. How is this not a no brainer upgrade? You really saying the spurs wouldn’t be better?
>>155265266>how much faster could you go if you traded in your busted pinto for a corvette
I'm super duper bored of the NBA.
>>155265266Curry does what Brunson does a whole lot better and had been there before. He'd certainly know how to keep them in. Honestly any vet probably calms them down better. That's the problem with young teams, they're kind of stupid, so you need someone with poise that they could respect. Fox barely did shit in the league outside of play like a shittier Westbrick with even less iq.
>>155265520>can’t answer the question Curry is getting up there in years so it’s not that crazy of a trade. I’m just curious what the spurs would look like with that trade
>>155265324fr, their coach should have been punching fox in the face long before he even thought about taking a retarded layup in the finals
>>155265496I'm not saying Curry wouldn't be an objective upgrade. I'm saying better players with a stubborn idiot coach will get you a 4-2 loss instead of a 4-1 loss. Spurs coaching decisions lost this series.
>>15526565470 win team even if curry is old his spacing and playmaking and gravity level the spurs offense up so much teams would be completely helpless
>>155265654you realize that curry is still probably a top 10 player in the league and addresses major flaws in the spurs offense. You toss that into Fox's spot and what do you think will happen
>>155265574im waiting for the trades and draft to make it interesting again
>>155264510>netsCould you use a more neutered, sterile name than this?The Austin towelsThe Seattle boxes
Imagine being from some fuckass city like San Antonio and not the Capital of the World, NYC. What does San Antonio even have other than big ol women?
>>155266031>What does San Antonio even have other than big ol women?churros and slightly smaller young women
>>155265721*75 wins at this point we are looking at curry vassell harper castle wemby. Thats unbeatable in todays league. Even the kd warriors might struggle
fuck the spurs
>>155266331Nola 30 just summond an egyptian god card
beautifulhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5nTZq8NSyk
Why was KAT allowed to use a Fear shout on Wemby? Seems unfair
>>155264682Maybe don’t boo him
>>155264601that video is an instant evergreen classic I swearamazingcameraman needs a raise
Brunson > SGA?
>>155264682>Boo the president>That's the only game the Knicks loseWhat happened bros
>>155266784No. As awesome as brunson was in g7 hes not an mvp level player. I like the guy and im happy to see him complete basketball but he is not that good. Hes in the jayson tatum tier. Hes what a pseudo legendary is to real legendaries in pkmn terms
>>155266784Never a doubt
anyone watch that melo podcast with jeremy lin? nigga just gaslighting lin for an hour. Not a good month for Melo...
Fellas, is it racist to not want sports fans to set your car on fire? Europeans do it all the time and no one ever says anything about that
>>155264682trump has terrible sports karma ever since he destroyed the original USFL>>155266784As an okc fan, yes. Dropping half of your team's points in an elimination game after leading the largest comeback in Finals history is not something SGA could do. The consistency is there for SGA, but Brunson's peak is considerably higher.
>>155266948Where does this misconception that european fan culture is violent as fuck come from? These hooligans from the famous videos are considered gutter trash people and nobody associates with them
So Ant is leaving Minnesota, right?KG leaves -> chipKLove leaves -> chipWiggins leaves -> chipKAT leaves -> chipAnt leaves -> ???
>>155265654if the warriors traded steven curry for dandre fox gaymond would burn the city on fire himself the fans wouldn't even get the chance
>>155266931yeah he said a whole lot of nothin. nigga just say you didn't want lin on the team cause you guys were ass together
>>155267130>rubio leaves???
>>155267130Ant has at least 3 more years as a wolf and the franchise isnt trading their cash cow.
>>155265841Draft sucks. Trades were awful last season. This season we're getting what? One Yanice to wherever, one rando to my Nugget, one rando to the timbertrans. That's it.
>>155266784A billion % Brunson > SGAy and only a retard would disagree. Not even a question.
>>155267119yuroposters whining about "passionless yank fans" anytime they step outside of a soccer thread
how did brunson succeed where cheese pizza, kidd and nash didn't? at least rose had a horrific injury
>>155265104The Nets are still in the league?
>>155265118i genuinely have not seen videos of local fans rioting lately. youtube used to be full of videos of firms fighting each other, traveling to games etc. now all you ever see are some moroccans burning cars regardless if their teams wins or loses. where are all the skinheads?
>>155267642Haliburton got a horrific injury so they got a freebie.
>>155267642>chris paulPlayed some ungodly strong competiton but choked his best chance in 2021>kiddNo shame in not winning a ring in timmy, shaq and kobes era>nashSee kidd also dirty as manu
If Club Brugge won the Champions League he’d understand the feeling of a Knicks title win
Euros have no idea how batshit insane it is here.
>>155267839in jail for tweets
ive always been a knicks fan
>>155265266>How good would the spurs be if they traded fox for curry?Curry would have 5 rings now. But the Warriors wouldn't trade that unless they bundled Fox, a solid role player, and a fuckload of picks. Even if Curry's only got 2, MAYBE 3 years left, the Warriors are so emotionally tied to him they're literally more willing to spin their wheels as a franchise in the play-in year over year than offload him.
>NY won>NYC is on firebut why?
>>155268333We're not used to winning, we don't know what to do.
>>155268333Lesser humans.
AytonChetDurenHardenFox
>>155267642Jason Kidd won in 2011
>>155268474He wasn't the bus driver that year
>>155267642He took $100 million less to let the team surround him with a roster that can cover all his flaws.
OG anunoby will be remembered as a knick and not a raptor
Melo lost team usa to kd, nuggets to joker, nyc to lin and brunson, scorer of the decade to kd and lost his fucking NAME to some degenerate killer
>>155268980Does he care about such frivolities?
>>155268980no one in jew york cares about lin nowit's all brunson countrybut carmelo does need a wellness check
>>155268930>Kawai will be remembered as a Clipper not a Raptor
>>155268930Nobody remembers anything about your raptors at all whatsoever, aside from these jerseys and that one dunk contest VC won. That's literally it.
>>155268980The scrub of all scrubs.
The new meta is now short guards who can score at will surrounded by big wings and a zesty center. Lots of GMs gonna be fired in the next year or two following the knicks recipe
>>155269085>>155269093>>155269257He still got a based 4chan banner tho
>>155268333they told me yesterday in the celebration thread that they love NYC as it is, they love chaos and they thrive in chaos. which we lowly flyovers will never get. to them living the dream is getting shitfaced at 3am and dance on cars in the middle of NYC. blacks do that all over the country though. but these urban creatures are fucked in the head for sure.
>>155269204not our fault american media purposely ignores us and doesn't talk about us
>>155269553Nothing to talk about. I still don't understand why you guys even have a team in the NBA. (money, I get it)
>>155269292Knicks recipe is just grind it out until you win by 1 or 2 in the end.
>>155268930goodno one rates that 2019 Mickey ring anymore
>>155268980he should've looked at his peer, lebum, and taken notes that lebum spends a significant amount of money on PRmelo thinks he can do it by himself. lol.i'm not sure a PR team can save him at this point though.
We gon git Giannus
>>155269677we're much more relevant than many american franchises like the kings, grizzlies, hornets, wizards, etc.
>>155267500>In 2018, Brunson resigned as assistant coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves amid internal complaints of harassment>The allegations involved improper interactions and harassment directed at several women in the NBA workplace, including a member of the mediaRick gave that same "don't let them stop you" attitude to his son, which is why Jalen is an NBA champ today.
>>155269861>gutting your team for a guy who hasn't been in the postseason for 4 years and has even far worse knees than your superstarKWAB
>>155269913Yeah but you're Canadian.
>>155269861>Celtics with a healthy Giannis and Tatum
>>155269861Who they trading for Giannis?Brown or Tatum?
This nigga is called Pericles lmao
>>155270045Brown is going to China.
>>155269926based
>>155269691I don't think winning by 30+ is grinding it out
>>155270045Brown obviously
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYxqBWSBgJ4
>>155270099>>155270196But isn't Brown the better player?I don't think Tatum would have held the fort down like Brown did if their roles were reversed.
>>155270045Tatum is the Celtics golden child.they'd never trade him.
>>155270423>But isn't Brown the better player?Nobody has ever said this
>>155270129It is when the other team can't keep up
>>155270423you mean tatum wouldnt have been that retarded and would have just tanked in a non winnable season instead of wasting a season?
>>155270423>held the fort down like BrownThe Celtics were 9-1 in games Brown didn't play. They were +10 net or something absurd in minutes Brown didn't play.
>LeMickey missed the playoffs then got swept and gentleman's swept the next four years
>>155264444hey i know this guy
How do you say "Wembanyama" in Mandarin?
>>155270361The radio announcer is kinoBut, is that Oakley in the bottom right?Banned from the Garden, but took the trip to San Antonio?
Without Flagg, that franchise would be fucking dead by now...
>>155271432I'm sure it doesn't matter to him since the Knicks won, but I like to see it as a little "fuck you" to Dolan that Oakley was able to witness the Knicks win in person despite the MSG ban.
>>155267500this guy doesn't seem very bright, even said patrick ewing was the best knick after the game on inside the NBA, when his son just won a chip
I love the fact we're all shitting on Carmelo
>>155271661This picture might be the most iconic first and second round draft picks for any team for decades to come. And not because the organization was smart...
>>155271668Based, Knicks closed it out for Oakley
wemby lost the all star game like a bitch, lost the nba cup like a bitch, and lost the finals like a bitch all in one season lmfao
I feel like that if the majority of anons in /nba/ were GMs, their strategy wouldn't be constructing a winning team, but to tank every year (under the old rules, of course).
>>155272159Game 7 of the WCF was May 30th. On that day, Wemby was the face of the league, a rising superstar, a winner, and a guy who was generally seen positivelySince then, he's been exposed as a choker, a diva, and a refbaby. Absolutely disastrous 2 weeks for Wemby's PR
Knicks have to go to the White House after Trump glazed them like this, right?
>>155272527man, the playoffs can be brutal to your career narrativeDuren died in the playoffsAustin Reaves lost moneyNow Wemby is a fraud. Funnily enough, LeBum's stock (which was a stagnant non-moving stock for the last couple of years), rose for winning a series.
>>155272771>Austin Reaves lost moneyhahahahahahah
>>155272766am I missing something? why'd he call Mitchell that and not the whole group
>>155272766Dolan will go by himself if he has to
>>155272766noone fucks with this orange fool anymore
>>155272844Mitchell is a registered republican and gives off MAGA vibes.
Guys?...............
>>155265324>>155265266>be Spurs coach>lose first two games>put Wemby in for the entire game both times>watch as he gets tired and the Knicks come back in the 2nd half both times>don't even consider trying to save Wemby for the 2nd half one timeGenuinely why
>>155272766>have to goThey'd be excoriated by the rest of the NBA even if Dolan forces them.Chances are it's only Dolan and Robinson attending.
>>155272766>>155264682Did the Knicks winning under Mamdani seal his reelection win? Now all the sports boomers will vote for him because he's good luck
>>155273327people will soon nootice that wemby talks tough but can't back it up
gotta be a finals record to lead double digits in all games and lose 4-1 right
>>155272527So he's the face of the league confirmed then?https://youtu.be/V22XUP_pZi4?si=oz1mQOFki97fPok2&t=143
So who is the NBA going to rig it for next year? Pistons? Hornets? Wizards?
BITW rankingsShaiWembyGiannisJokicBrunson
>>155273327The thing with Brunson, he's fucking clutchWhich is probably why he's won at every levelShooting form, height, and defensive presence are all inferior talents when compared to "Can you make shots in a close game down the stretch?"That's the key to the whole game, in any game.Fuck the stats, fuck the athleticism.When we need a bucket, will you make one?That's all that mattersAnd Brunson has proven throughout the years that yes, he can.
>>155273327Chembert is the Silver Surfer
>>155273840Pacers
I wanna see HaliGOD back in top formThen I wanna see an epic ECF between the Pacers and the reigning NBA Champion Knicks.This is what I want and I'm not ashamed of it.
>>155273500>soon nooticeThey already do. That got exposed this finals. Wemby spent so much time with monks and drawing in the park only to have meltdowns on the court
>>155274307Who is better, peak Haliburton from that one run or peak Brunson? I think he's better at shooting 3s and he's faster but I haven't looked at the stats.
>>155274512Depends on how you rate defense vs pure clutch But also Brunson's defense isn't even THAT bad.He played like every minute in game 5 and they held the spurs to 90 points.
Wemby is the GOAT at getting 2nd place

What happened to that one Spurs fan who posted anime girls in Spurs jerseys? He was very talkative throughout the series
>>155273496it's his first year. people will be talking about something else by his reelection.
>>155275160My NYC in-laws were so hungry for more ball that they went to a WNBA Liberty game today, lol.The pics they sent me showed the arena was packed.Probably full of Knicks fans who just don't want to come off the high.
Wemby proved Clutch gene is fake and it's really just cardio
>>155276226>Clutch gene is fakeLeBron fan take.
>1 day into off-season>/nba/ is already a dead general

>>155276386were watching UFC and soccer
>>155276670P-p-please watch the stanley cup final
>>155272766The Knicks have to go because Dolan calls the shots and he's a Trump sycophant. The team and coaching staff actually has good relationships with Dolan. They'll go just not to cause trouble. And it will be the best day of Robinson's life.
>>155276770Trump is friendly with most owners, and teams still don't go to the White House. Zero chance the Knicks go to the White House while Trump is president.
>>155264510reminder that Jay Z and some Russians are fully to blame for this
>>155276515good luck, bitch niggas
>>155275160Touch grass and avoid the general for the next several months

Is LeBron getting traded or just retire?
>>155273977wonderfully said. you must have stolen it from somewhere.
>>155277128based on >>155276515 I think he wants to retire
>>155276733I was until the golden buttplugs started choking the series away
Uhmmm why is LeBron allowed to hit golf balls into the ocean? Isn't that... bad?
More wins against the knicks than chemby
>>155276992I guarantee you that they will go. A few players might choose not to, but most of the team will be there.Dolan was willing to distract from a legendary finals run to have Trump attend a game and the players didn't say shit. Dolan then attacked Mamdani in a ridiculous embarrassing spat to earn brownie points with Trump, players didn't say shit. Dolan has been on the Roommates podcast in the past and was friendly with Brunson & Hart. If you've watched the Knicks for any extended period in the past two years it is clear that Brunson is a company man. Mike Brown was hired BECAUSE he is a company man. And the whole team does what Brunson tells them to do. They will go. If there's a Kalshi on this I would bet a good amount of money on it.
>>155277394its green screen lebron would never do something like that
>>155277394biodegradable golf balls
>>155264444Horseshit. It's all POC doing this, zero Whites.

>>155276733>Carolina>Vegaswhy
>ZERO finals wins at home
>>155277789twas rather insulting for a gentleman's sweep desu
>>155277471Players not commenting on Trump going to MSG takes zero effort. These guys aren't going to take time out of their off-season to travel to DC. Hart talked shit about Trump on twitter. KAT is a Dominican member of the LGBTQ community. ZERO CHANCE. Trump isn't going to have a private dinner with Dolan and Robinson. The team will just say something about conflicting schedules, and it will never be mentioned that they turned it down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4B_InDIJkg
>>155277928>These guys aren't going to take time out of their off-season to travel to DCThey don't do it in the offseason, brother.It happens during the regular season, usually when the defending champs of whatever sport have a game in that part of the country.
>>155278008IT'S NOT HAPPENING
>>155276515LeMickey, you are a Brooklyn Net

The NBA would be so much better if David Stern was still around. There's no way Luka would be a Laker, there's no way the league would've sabotaged the process, and there's no way that KD would be allowed to run his tradefest

>>155278853I get why the league is looking to expand - money is money - but some teams are doomed to suck forever and should be contracted.

I don't think thick hoes can save Wendy bros
The pacers have two years with this core.
There are so many diamonds like Jose Alvarado or Ayo Dosunmu being hidden on bottom feeding teams that so many contenders could be snatching up instead of going after big names
the pacers are straight up worse than they were last season and that's without factoring in how Hali looks
>>155279833isnt their only roster change myles turner
>>155279833???Zubac is a huge upgrade on Turner. Mathurin is replaceable. They will be worse until the Haliban is fully recovered (if he can even fully recover, dude looks like absolute shit) but the team should be better.
>>155279991>Zubac is a huge upgrade on TurnerHe's really not. Harden made him look so much better than he is, just like he did with Jarett Allen after being traded.
>>155264874Thanks
>>155278440Hot women crying = gigantic boner
There is no team stopping the Knicks
>>155280065>He's really not.He is though. The Pacers just needs him to be a rebounder and an inside prense when they have to slow down the offense which he can do better than Turner
>Ireshart is watching shitty retard normie battleshonen trashOf course he is.
>>155278440there has never ben a white bitch who looks good with bangs
>>155265803>curry is still probably a top 10 player in the league lmaohis team is trash, didn't do shit in the yoffs, hasn't for years. curry is mid at best, all he does for gsw is prevent them from getting a good draft pick
every team will now try to build college rosters and force a guy to homosexually assault the locker room
>>155280065The Hali buff is bigger than the Harden buff at this point in their careers. Again, if Hali can make a recovery.
>>155280275Any way for the Spurs to get Clingan? They could easily draft Karaban.
>>155280371You don't know that. He's fat now. Just like how Jokic became instantly washed after the injury.
>>155280159Not 1, Not 2, Not 3, Not 4...

Nobody has been able to explain to me what the purpose of the Pelicans is. Why do they exist? There's no proof that they even make a profit
>>155280159Boston is getting a real demon. Fuck Kitty Kat gonna do against a real nigga?
>>155280845What does Boston's depth look like around Tatum and Giannis?
>>155280845what the boston team who blew a 3-1 lead to the sixers who got swept by the knicks in 50 pt blowouts?
>>155279637why'd lebum force them to dismantle that team i thought he was a basketball genius
The NBA will die if I don't see an interesting trade before Wednesday!
kitty kat
>>155280919>>155280941Giannis has never had a Robin on the level of Tatum before. Boston is going to unleash him.
>>155280954he didn't have anything to do with that, it was rob pelinka being a gay bitch. The person who said this is Rob btw.
>>155280954Their 2020-2021 team was actually good, they just kept getting hurt and couldn't establish chemistry. The Westbrook trade is what killed them.
Kings firing Mike Brown for talking shit about Fox is the most poetic headline
>>155280954they ran it back with basically the same team but got clapped. Then they traded for the brick and it was all over
>>155280159My Wizards will do it this year
>>155279749oh no they canbeing with a bbw will make you gain weight like crazy
>>155281010The rim pressure Giannis provides is probably Joe Mazzulla's wet dream. Think of all the 3 point shots they can take with Giannis driving and kicking.
>>155280703OG is the future of the team. He is their most talented player
>>155273327>*did not playlmao, I missed that in the video.
>>155281313Papa Brunson was in the last finals the Knicks were in and lost to the Spurs. This is literally cinema
Literally Loony Toons character.
>>15526526638 yo curry > 28 yo fox
>>155267130Ant to Denver
>>155281010>>155281152I really like the idea of a Brown-Giannis-Fox trade. The exact compensation for the Bucks tbc but it makes more sense than any other trade I’ve seen.I still think the Knicks would have done KAT-for-Giannis if they hadn’t won the chip.

Fox is like 25% responsible for that finals loss. Why is he getting 100% of the hate?
>>155286635he was brought in and paid to explicitly not do those things that lost them games. People are more lenient on 1-3 year players but 10 years in he should know better
>>155286635The Spurs coach and his staff made zero fucking adjustments after that 29 point blown lead. If I was that coach Wemby would have not started.
Yall remember Greg Popovic?
>>155286635>Why is he getting 100% of the hate?Single moments are easier to meme than broad choices. The loss is obviously mostly the coaches fault for not making any adjustments.
>>155286774This was Fox's second playoffs ever. He lost his first in the first round. He has played for 6 head coaches in 8 years in the NBA on some bad rosters constructed by the most retarded front office in the league. Despite that, he was legitimately good in the playoffs until he injured his ankle, which he played on through half the OKC series and all of the finals. And for me, his game-losing mistake is so much less egregious than Wemby's missed FT's or whiffed pass. If not for a heroic play from Anunoby, Fox wins them the game right there.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/u8eimJSxfQMGreat video of a Spurs fan going over all the Spurs mistakes in the 4th of game 5
>>155286908I can definitely see a world where Wemby ends up getting his minutes managed like the Knicks do with Robinson, if his gas tank does not improve.
>>155287743>This was Fox's second playoffs everNobody gives a fuck. He's a decade in the league and gets paid ridiculous amounts of money. He's not supposed to do a bunch of dumb shit. It's not even just the layup attempt, he had a bunch of brutal 4h quarter turnovers and he was the guy who was supposed to mark og especially after the shot releases. Then he followed that up with an even worse game 5 where he chucked them out of the 4th. A lot of that is on the coach for rolling with him but he was still awfulAlso he was mostly terrible all playoffs especially outside of the portland series
is NBA that much bigger than NFL in USA? you barely see anyone celebrating superbowl win but NBA win is a massive happening
>1 day after Jalen Brunson won the Knicks their first championship in 50 years by deliberately taking 100m less in order to help his organization build a better team, Austin Reaves is asking for 250m
>>155289179>Austin Reaves is asking for 250mi didnt know he was represented by klutch
>>155269204That IS a sick jersey to be fair
>>155289030NFL is like Fortnite, nobody would celebrate a fortnite update, just hype themselves momentarily on it. Basketball is like God of War 2018 or Read Dead. It touches people's hearts
>>155286635that's a big ass 25% when most of the games were lost by a few points
>>155289487nba is also more international as basketball is really big sport world wide, 2nd to football (soccer) so it requires lot more talent to win it probably. harder to win
>>155287743Nah taking a contested layup late in the game with a 1 point lead for no reason, in the finals, is just absolutely sloppy and wreckless. If Wemby did that layup at least he's the tallest player on the court, little ass fox had no business trying that shit. It's stuff you learn when you're in grade school, a 7 year old could have realized they needed to hold the ball
>>155276515Where is he next season? probably his last? no way the lakers can afford him right?

>>155289030>is NBA that much bigger than NFL in USA?The NFL mogs the fuck out of the NBA>you barely see anyone celebrating superbowl win but NBA win is a massive happeningA ton of people celebrate the Super Bowl
>>155290316Yeah this is a bit different since it's the Knicks, who are both a major market team and one that hasn't won for 53 years, Gen xers went their entire lives waiting for this and even millennials never experienced the Knicks being winners. When the Celtics won I sleep, especially with faggot gaytum, when the Thunder won, I didn't even watch the finals and found out later, when the Nuggets won, I thought it was cool, didn't care for the Warriors in 2022 but at least it was a more meaningful chip than the 2017+ slop, didn't watch the Bucks finals but wish I did, didn't watch the bubble. Just my perspective as a guy who used to watch a shit ton of NBA from 2007 to 2015 before Adam shillver fucked up the league
>>155290316Not even a factor but it's worth noting the tens of thousands of foreigners in the country for the World Cup experiencing Americans lose their shit just like they do and becoming Knicks fans. This is the good timeline.
>>155264725Brunson saved up all his heroball energy for the series winning game so he could secure FMVP. Very high IQ play from the king of the manlets.
Won without the usual suspects
>>155264776the fact that 3 out of 4 Knicks wins came off of margins of less than 5 points shows how close this series was to going another way, the Spurs just couldn't close out and be clutch enough, they kept letting the Knicks get back in it and selling the end of every game
alright the bullshit has passedwho we gone git
>We got an A on the group project
>>155290374they're just pretending to be as crazy as Philly fans have always been, they haven't had shit to celebrate in a while
>>155264682He's a walking jinx and fake fan of the highest caliber. The only good thing is his curse is so weak now that it only works if he's actually there in person.Mamdani meme magic totally nullified it for the rest of the series, which is why it was 4-1 series win for the good guys.
>>155289030NFL is more broadly popular as a product because it's more scarce. Basketball and Hockey are kinda the same in terms of the season lasting a while and having devoted fanbases. Baseball is for real autistics. Soccer is for people who don't like sports. Also Knicks winning is a once in a generation happening probably. They're like the top 3 biggest profit earners in the NBA.

>>155300614Championship caliber first options in the league:>Kawhi>Lebron>Curry >Jokic>Giannis>Tatum*>KD*Jalen Brunson is not the same caliber of player as those guys in their prime. For the past few decades the league has been dominated by 2-3 players while the rest needed luck to go their way. Steph Curry is greatest shooter of all time and the others are freak athletes (exception Tatum). Brunson isn't really a freak athlete and doesn't have a skill that separates him from a common All-Star.
>>155301035>Jokic>Giannis>Tatum*>KD*
whenever the warriors played kd without curry and draymond they were shit lol
>>155301035I'd argue that Brunson is an outlier small guard that plays bully ball, is uniquely shifty, and his signature skill is elite footwork.
more teams need to fleece the pelicans. they're hogging all this talent for no reason
>>155301385He's an undersized shooting guard who masquerades as a point guard. He's a ball stopper but get's away with it because he makes circus shots and most of his floaters. I don't think see anything about him or his game that makes him truly elite but he ended up winning a championship. Either this is an outlier ring or this is in indication that the second apron and the new draft draft rules fucked the league up enough that All-Star/All-NBA second team tier talent is enough to win a championship
Alright Parity chads, which team is gonna continue the streak next year?Every team besides the>Knicks>Thunder>Celtics>Nuggets>Warriors>Bucks>Lakers>Raptorsextends the streak.Spurs and TWolves are probably the main hopes in the WestCavs and Pistons probably the main hopes in the East

I don't know how people are just acting like it's automatic that Wemby just makes it back to the finals next seasonNo team has made it to the finals twice since the KD warriors and only two teams since the KD warriors have even been back to the conference finals after playing in the finals (lakers and thunder) AND wemby's already proven to be susceptible to injury which really isn't a surprise given his frame
melo wasnt even in the building for the win? fake knick
>>155302174The only team that could stop them is OKC, but they're gonna struggle a lot without sean sweeney

>>155301842My wizzies will shock everyone :)
>Mavs have put 3 of Luka's niggas on the trading block>Lebeta is most likely returning to da lan>Reaves is gonna ask for too much and doesn't pass the eye test The Lakers have a perfect opportunity to run it back with a part of the core of that '24 Mavs squad and Klay, I hope they make a move. Save Kyrie too from that dumpster fire by the trade deadline.
>>155302537You missed the warriors> a year before that people said no one was stopping denverNobody was saying this since the Celtics looked like the best team in the league by far
>>155302760how are teams not using brunson's contract as leverage during negotiations with players right now? especially other small guards who can't defend like reaves
>>155264444>Lost in the Finals>Lost the MVP race (again)>Lost his wife after cheating with an instahoe>Lost custody of his kids>Tingus won a ring before him>Brunson won a ring before him>Has to compete against SGA, Wemby, Jokic, etc with his only help being Austin ReavesLukabros...
>>155302820i didn't miss the warriors i skipped them because no one thought they were going back to back. and i included the celtics after they won in '24
>>155302881
Luka was done dirty by the league to trot him out as the latest attraction in Los Angeles. The Mavs spent years building that team around him and it was finally good enough to compete. It's not his fault.
>>155302852oh you bet they are. This is a copycat league and the Knicks methodically purged their roster of bad contracts and leveraged a once in a lifetime buy-in. In a high income-tax state no less.Fanbases will double down on the vitriol to any max player who fails to live up to his contract or is perceived as "holding back" the team. Just watch.

>>155303828That was a weak ass series from him

kek @ the giannis kalshi commercial
>giannis joins your team>you have to watch him throw every other game for that kalshi bag
>>155304311I don't see them going for Giannis either. Their team is already really well built and doesn't requir something that dramatic to stay highly competitive. They're in a good spot, they just ran into the golden goose who happens to really like wrecking Chets shit.
>>155264444The power of the melting pot.
>>155300766Do any other domestic sports besides football get stickies? Spreading the outcome out over 4-7 games really sucks the wind out of championship from a shitposting standpoint.

Next season espn and athletic gonna release their top 50 players and its gonna be bullshit like1. Jokic2. Donbust3. gaydee28. jalen Brunson
where does Wemby refusing to shake hands rank on the KWAB scale? it's not like the Spurs had a rivalry with the Knicks or something, he just refused to congratulate them because he was salty

>>155307487Murray can get hot and win you a couple playoff games + he's one a much better contractThe question for Spurs is how do they convince Denver do this dumbass trade that kills their Jokic title window
>>155307487Murray is a better playoff performer than Harden but he's not ideal.>>155307737Denver is in a whole lot of trouble. I don't know what they need to do desu. Get another owner that loves spending money? Not going to happen.
>>155307737>>155307737murray does get hot. his problem is he also gets cold always
Explain Lamar Odom to me
>>155307785The only way out for Denver is extracting value from Murray and/or Gordon/Johnson and then spreading it thinner across multiple undervalued players. It’s probably possible to retool like that, but it’d require a level of nouse that the organisation hasn’t shown for years, which is why they’re in the position they’re currently in
>>155307737I don’t see a deal here desu. Fox and Murray contracts are very similar, playoff performance also a wash for the most part. You could argue it would be a ‘throw shit at wall and see what sticks’ type of move but neither team would make meaningful improvement in the short term.>>155307785We were comparing Fox and Murray also I agree that the trade wouldn’t make a meaningful impact for either Denver or SA
>>155307818That nigga is a bum. He's been in the NBA for how long now? A decade? And he was only good in the bubble and during the 2023 playoffs. That's it. Outside of those two stretches, he's WESTBRICK territory.
>>155307895Good at most things on a basketball court and a hard worker. Women/Drugs tried to ruin his life; in that order.
>>155307977yeah hes awful. jokic with any above average ball handler would win 3 chips
>>155307360Damn Chet really needs to shave. He looks like ass with facial hair.
>>155307785>Denver is in a whole lot of trouble. I don't know what they need to do desu. Get another owner that loves spending money? Not going to happen.Realistically, their window with this core is already closed, they can keep pretending to be in contentions for a few more years by running it back and swapping some role players around but it's a 2nd round team.Their chance to reopen it would be to package Murray for a better #2 but I have no idea how do they do it with Murray making $50m a year and pretty much no tradeable picks
>>155307818Reverse Brunson, shows up first half and bricks away the game in crunch time.
>Le parityYou now realized Adam Silver fucked the CBA to ensure the Warriors' and Lebum's dynasty are protected for all time.Superteams and duos/trios have always been part of the NBA, skill issue if your franchise is bum and can't win a title without kneecapping everyone else.No one complained when Russell's Celtics bulldozed the 50s and 60s, no one complained when the 80s, 90s and 00s were held by 2-3 teams.

Jalen Brunson is a top 3 guard of all time. You can’t even prove me wrong. He is who MJ, AI, Kobe thought they were. Only guards im putting above him is wade and magic.

>>155308970Also:>13 game playoff win streak>9 game playoff away win streak (ongoing)>+15.5 playoff net rating - best ever ahead of +13.8 by 2001 Lakers, +13.6 by 1971 Bucks, +13.5 by 2017 Warriors>best point differential ever (both regular season and playoffs over a 10 game stretch)
>>155308970>>155309061>You can't convince me there's an asteriskOG fouled DeAaron Fox on that infamous layup play but no whistle. Alvarado/Hart was literally molesting Wemby while tugging on his shorts but no whistle. Kat travelled in his dunk against Wemby no foul call. OG carried, Hart backcourt violation, etc. A LOT of no whistles for the Knicks. You can argue Spurs also got some non-whistle moments but there is definitely an asterisk here with how fucky the officiating is. When you watch Spurs vs Knicks, Spurs DOMINATE them until the very last minutes of the very last quarter. So all those little officiating moments actually do put an asterisk on that ring.
>>155308561>Jalen Brunson is a top 3 guard of all time.#1 is Jamal Murray and #2 is SGA
>>155307895Lebron James but on crack instead of steroids
>>155309744>OG fouled DeAaron Fox on that infamous layup play but no whistleStopped reading after this, he got the ball cleanly and only hit Fox's arm on the follow through. You hate basketball and are not a serious person if you think this should be called a foul
I hope teams watch tape and figure out how to contain Brunson we cant have an ugly manlet become the face of the league
I have two words for you.ZION.WILLIAMSON.
>>155309744>Spurs DOMINATE them until the very last minutes of the very last quarter.There's a word for that
>>155310570>he'll eat the table
>>155308970Every leastern ring is fake
>>155311006It started off so well……
When I first started watching NBA, I fell in love with Lob City and became a Clippers fan, not realizing the fact that this franchise is singlehandedly the worst thing ever created on God's (capital G) green earth.
>>155311779More than the Spurs could
The New York sports media really primed the pump for a Knicks win. I like how the media suddenly made a huge push to call SGA a flopper right when it looked like Knicks were gonna play OKC. Never once heard that last year when >my Pacers were playing them in the Finals. Never once heard it for 20 years of LeBron flopping. Suddenly the media is calling out flopping... but only for SGA. No mention of Brunson's career of shameless flops.But then OKC loses and suddenly the new media angle was to paint Wemby as a dirty player and a "bully". This after a whole year of praising him for hanging out with Buddhist monks and getting his zen on at the temple. The media just flips the narrative with the snap of a finger, and the entire casual sports watching public ate it up.
>>155308445Brunson's stats were saved by that last game. He was also not getting doubled for an entire series since Alvarado and even Shart are both competent ball handlers and playmakers that took pressure off of him
>>155308561He's not even the best point guard in his conference
>>155312461>and suddenly the new media angle was to paint Wemby as a dirty player and a "bully"he got a flagrant 2 for elbowing someone in the throat fuck are you talking about lol
>>155311779hawks should get giannis and stomp the knicks next yearwould also make dame triple kwabhawks also had to wait 70 years for their next chip
>>155303041Alternate reality: He could have a strong hone life with a loving family if he just didn't fuck an instathot Luka confirmed /weakmind/
>>155312512yes, stats get better after you have games with better stats, that's how it worksIf Shai had a game as good, his stats would also be "saved", but he didn't
>>155312512>b-but if you take away the good games, then he's not goodgood discourse
>>155312582The media praised him for that when it happened. They downplayed it, for one, snd tried to paint it as inadvertent. Then they said it was great that he was fighting back against the OKC "bullies". But then Spurs won the series and suddenly he was a "dirty player". Intetesting narrative flip. Even more interesting is how people like you just eat it up.
>>155311776kek loser
>>155312793>>155312793>>155312793NEW
I see spurdora BAWBs are already coping fucking hardYour team sucksYour city is shitYou have no lifeThe KNICKS won it all
>>155312721I'd say 35/9 is pretty close to 45/3. Spurs sold out on taking the ball out of Shai's hands on the second half of game 7 in a way they never could with Brunson since the latter still had other ball handlers on his team.
>>155312629Why does everybody act like Giannis and AD are going to be movers and shakers in the East next year? Those guys are at the point where they play 40 games a year and are still injured come playoff time.The East next year is going to be Knicks and Pacers fighting it out, with Celtics memechucking their way to a high seed. Pistons might make some noise, but Cade is not really a #1 option (too many turnovers, too much goofing it up). Sixers still have the Embiid albatross around their necks. Cavs are the Cavs. Who else is there?
