>>155387422Exactly, there have been a lot of long droughts broken recently, Warriors, Cavs, Bucks, Nuggets... But nobody cares about their team the way Knicks fans do. That phenomenon where everyone is going around naming as many scrubs they once believed in as possible proves that, we're insane enough that we sat and wasted 82 nights of our lives every year, even when they went 17-65. And it fucking killed us to see those records, it fucking broke our hearts when random D/G-leaguers were only flashes in the pan, when superstars faded and then arrived here, when the ones who did shine burned out twice as fast. It became a cycle, we always expected, eventually, to lose, be let down. Even uncs that rooted for the 90s Knicks knew that feeling, you could never get closer than the Ewing finger roll, but in the end, no matter the heroes on the roster, this franchise would let you down again and again and again.January looked like that once again this year. Then so did the Hawks series. By Game 3 this year, it felt like it all over again. But every single time these Knicks took a haymaker, they came right back with a furious left hook and head-body-head pummeling. They were doing it time and again the last few years until finally gassing out. This year they went farther but even if you believed in them, it was so hard to ignore the familiar feeling of rising bile and utter dejection, Game 3 was like looking off the proverbial cliff and seeing our entire lives reflected in the water below. But Jalen fucking Brunson said no, enough is enough, and made sure we wouldn't fall off this time. It's a beautiful fucking thing, there's nothing like this in sports. I don't even think a Mets championship could top it at this point.

Cade,and Eastern conference fans in general get chippy with Luka but don't hate on him actively. Oh yeah, maybe. like 15% of the Lakers fans. Kawhi fans. Low iq fans who think "muh defence" is the only thing that matters in the NBA. Reggie Miller.
>>155389583Lukek is not that hated, but being a superstar the pressure will continue to increase unless he gets and MVP or a rang.

>>155389915Tingusfans, Bumsonfans, Celticsfans and New Yorkfans love Lukek.
>>155390048He just needs a ring. Chokic was in his 6th season when he got his MVP and was in his 8th when he got his ring. Gianmickey was in his 6th season when he got his MVP and in his 8th when he won his ring. These are his two greatest comps in term of talent and expectation and he is already behind both while also being fatter. Also Lukek was getting way more hype than either earlier in his career.
>>155390051>Celtics fansThey're one of the worst ones, they've just been quiet since their super team got CBA'd
>>155390112The inceltics proved they were frauds after they got bitched by the Knicks the next year before the second apron rape sess. The reality is that both of those teams were fraudulent and the inceltics won the fraud off

Bumson has the same number of Finals MVPs, and real championship rings, as Curry and LeBron respectively.
>>155389968Watching people call him elite and unstoppable and then have him get locked up by Rudy Gobert and Alex Caruso was very entertaining

>>155392173uh oh BAWB melty
Imagine if Jokic got to play with Ja Morant or SGA instead of Jamal Murray
>>155392322His assist numbers would go down by like 5 since Ja can't shoot and he'd lose all those Murray 3 assists
>>155392376Ja can dunk and those cut jokic passes would go up and it has a higher % of going in so the numbers would go up. And Ja grabs rebounds and knows how to dribble so they'd actually win.
KAT is a better Jokic than Jokic
This nigga is crazy
>>155392486if Mike Brown really unlocked KAT's potential in year 11, and this point-center distributor/stretch role is the real KAT, he's going to get a well deserved max extension and still be a tier under Jokic

The only reason the knicks won was cause they kept baiting wemby out to the perimeter. How is this dumb fuck coach not just telling wemby to stay in the paint?
Will be interested to see who the mavs take at 9Seems everything past 1-3 is incredibly hard to predict drafting wise. Acuff seems like he'll be a bust idk who needs him that bad.
I got a warning for posting Sydney Sweeney in a game thread but that Americunt can post literal porn I see how it is
>>155394376He posted it ironically so it's fineAlso American website
>>155394364Kingston Fleming
Wemby probably gets his first MVP next year, provided he meets the game requirements. It would take Shai winning 70 games or breaking 50/40/90 for him to get three. I'm just glad the chokic meme has finally ended and he won't get anymore now that there's real competition.
>Heat and Celshits destroying their futures for an aging GiannisKWABThe Thunder, Spurs and Knicks have shown that depth is kang over trying to reconstitute superteamsDouble max contracts = team death
>>155394478I don't really see the vision with flemings, undersized and questionable shooting. Rich Paul & Klutch have been trying really hard to get them to draft burries for some reason. Bumson is going to get a lot of these guys paid by delusional GMs
niggas crowned wemby as the face of the league only to see him piss and shit himself and still say he'll be back lmfaooooospurs are the harden, westbrick, KD thunder lmfao they ain't coming back
>>155394634They'll be fine as soon as they move off Fox for a true 4 and start Harper.
>>155394654>They'll be fine as soon as they move off Fox
>>155394662I give him 1 more season max. Might even get moved at the trade deadline if Harper balls out hard enough.
>>155394662No team will publicly hang their player out to dry, same shit with Detroit and Duren
>>155394662harper punching the air rn
Spurs probably won't be as good next season with Sweeney gone. I wonder if he can unbrick the Magic since they're already an underrated defensive team
>>155394714>underrated defensive team
>>155394714Paolo drags that team down defensively hard with how slow he is. He moves like 40 year old lebron does
>>155394316because he was being manhandled around by grown ass centers who had 20-30 lbs on him. and also he has one post move, a big lankey spin, which the Knicks quickly IDed and positioned a help defender to wait on it and strip him. Saw Hart and OG do it three times in game 1.the only reason the Spurs got out to all those early leads was their 3s, and that included Wemby
>>155394763If Sweeney could hide Luka and Kyrie all the way to the finals, he can probably work some magic on pablo
>>155394662They are the best organization in the NBA over the last 30 years, by far. They have to be careful now. They're really not taking losing well at all. Reading and hearing a lot of pouting, exposing stubborn front office, tunnel-vision coach, arrogant players. Even Becky Hammon, from the Spurs org tree is doubled down on her bad Brunson take.
I want yall to keep that same energy when we get PJ and rape the league next season

>>155394792Brad Stevens was probably the best at doing this i ever saw. Perfectly hid Isaiah Thomas on defense. Idk if you could do it now though now that everybody is hunting matchups
>>155394902gotta get that #2 seed somehow lil bro.
>>155394662Moving Fox makes 0 sense this offseason and would be a massive overreaction to one series>his value is at the all time low and would require attaching several picks to move>he's still the best pure PG on the roster (Castle turned it over 20 times in 2 games vs OKC without Fox)>they still aren't in a cap crunch and aren't desperate to move off his inflated salaryWhat they'll do is keep him for 2 more years, let him rehab some of his value as he puts up an efficient 17/3/6 in the regular season and then move him in 2028 with 2 years left on his contract when Wemby, Castle and Harper all extend and cap starts to feel tight. 0 reason to annihalte draft resources of a young contender to get rid of a player that can still be productive
>>155394983
Most of the Knicks bench leaving isn’t as big of a deal if there’s going to be an expansion draft anyway.
>>155395020yes, this contract is the reason why it makes no sense.No one will take him without draft picks attached and the Spurs should not be blowing up draft capital for short term cap relief that they don't even need yet
If the Knicks keep the 24th pick this year, that will be the first time Leon Rose has a top-25 pick.
>>155395529He picked Toppin at #8 in his first draft back in 2020
Do you guys remember when people found out that Doc Rivers was liking tranny porn on his twitter account, when that shit was still viewable of course? What current nba players are most likely to share the same fetish
>>155395663wasn't there a story about how dwight howard slept with one of them or something
>>155395681Yeah, but most people already knew that Dwight was a freak
all I'm saying is that it's weird some players are still single in their 30s
ayo is Giannis traded yet
Knicks finish the playoffs with an all-time record +283 point differential, beating the 2017 KD Warriors by +53 points.>2025-26 New York Knicks (+283)>2016-17 Golden State Warriors (+230)>2013-14 San Antonio Spurs (+214)>2017-18 Golden State Warriors (+210)>1986-87 Los Angeles Lakers (+205)They only lost 3 games, by a total of 6 points (-1,-1, and -4). That is an all-time team performance.Even more incredible considering each of those other teams were loaded with MVPs (sometimes multiple MVPs), and current or future Hall of Famers. Not to mention supported by all-stars on mid-levels or vet's minimum deals. >2017 Warriors (4 current or future HoFers)>2014 Spurs (+214) (4 current or future HoFers)>2018 Warriors (+210) (4 current or future HoFers)>1987 Lakers (+205) (6 HoFers)Meanwhile, the Knicks are made up of flawed misfits acquired from other teams, role players, and one manlet who is their only likely future hall of famer. It's the most impressive title since the 04 Pistons, or Hakeem in 94.
>>155395874>flawed misfitsLiterally every team wants a josh hart or anunoby
>>155396271except portland, who moved on from Hart because he can't shoot, and Toronto, who flipped an injury risk for what they saw as two younger more reliable offensive players.
>>155396271They want them now that the Knicks took them in and showed everyone how good they are but before Hart was being passed around the league as a trade thrown in and finally ended up in NY for a late 1st and Cam Reddish while Anunoby was available for a trade for a year before NY pulled the trigger and everyone thought Toronto's asking price is insane and didn't think he'd be worth the contract he'd command in FALike 25 other teams could've gotten those guys but chose not to
>>155395874The bar for the NBA HoF is incredibly low. KAT is easily getting in
>>155396271>Hart was a journeyman. He was traded three times in his first 6 years.>Toronto knew they weren't going to re-extend OG. They wanted to avoid his player option, so they were happy to trade him for a fellow leaf franchise player.>>155395874Biggest takeaway from this run is going to be how big, high measurable 3&D wings are going to be even MORE valuable that ever. It's now proven you can effectively cover up and build a championship team around ANY one scorer, no matter how small or defensively deficient they are.If built correctly, GMs can really open their roster options to a sub-6'3" driving guard out of college like a Darius Acuff or Christian Anderson, or even give a Trae Young type another look.
>>155396583My bet is a lot of GMs will get fired because getting three wings as good as OG, Bridges and Hart is going to be a tough task, and even if they manage to do it they'll discover it's still not enough because their 6'2 guard is not as durable and clutch as Brunson
/nba/ ded again
>>155396583>It's now proven you can effectively cover up and build a championship team around ANY one scorer, no matter how small or defensively deficient they areExcept that was always the case. GM's shied away from smaller scoring guards because they tended to be more inefficient as scorers, and if you want to build a roster around them, you had more weaknesses to shore up and cover for. Steph Curry is historically good offensively, and Brunson is plenty efficient for a 1st option scoring guard. Yet, they still both needed great perimeter defenders around them, guys who could be spot-up shooters, and guys who could also be ball handlers when defenses try to press them from mid court.Two-Way wings and big men have always been guys that GM's preferred to build teams around because they come with less inherent weaknesses to cover up. Both archetypes are generally more efficient scorers, better defenders, and are "role compressors" which basically means they don't need as much from their teammates as a Curry or a Brunson do, in order to lead teams to championships. It was never a "small guards bad" thing, it was a GM's going "Do I want to find 4-5 different guys who do different things? Or do I want to take Dwight Howard and put 4 shooters around him and make the finals?" thing.
>flopping, memechucking, or lankshitting? No thanks. For me, it's solid fundamentals
>>155397581It's the offseason. People are in Cancun now
>>155398083Every morning when I rise, I can just see heaven more in your eyes
>>155398204U///U
>>155397750>proven you can cover up Yes, but like anything else in the NBA it's also about getting the right personnel. Brunson probably is the strongest small guard in the league's history, he can't be backed down or knocked off his spots which is why he gets buckets. Anunoby is an actual demon and can play like a number one on both ends. Hart's low offensive IQ is offset by how much energy he gives on D and also his connection to Brunson. The Nova Knicks are a legit factor in the title because that's two roleplayers who basically have a psychic link to their main guy, they can no-look pass and tap out loose balls and set screens for each other without having to think of wonder if the other guy is gonna be there. And that's the energy or teamwork that fed the rest of the team to do the same for each other. Leon is a genius for valuing chemistry as high as any other factor in the players he acquired so even if other teams try and copy his recipe, there's a lot of small factors that really have to go right for it to work and not devolve into ugly 2000s-ball where the scoring guard takes endless inefficient shots and the other guys can't score
>>155397581Wait until next week during the draft, it's when Giannis will get traded and not this week.Maybe 1 day before the draft.
wnba sisters our threads keep dying...
Giannis on the inceltics is too scary
>>155398742No one fucking cares about women's basketball.
I am an incel, what team should I root for?
Jaylen Brown has to be feeling underappreciated after winning FMVP, having his individual best season in what was said to be a gap year leading his team to the second seed (granted it was a first round exit and blown 3-1 lead), and now being on the trade block again
Imagine being too short to dunk on Wemby
>>155397751>Brunson>Not floppingHe's up there with Trae, Shai, and Embiid in terms of mastering the art of the flop
I can dunk on Wendy if he just stands there and doesn't attempt a block.
Brunsons a fighter because his father Tito Ortiz taught him everything he knows
>Seeing people try to rate Brunson as top 5Much like when the Celtics won they were rating Derrick White way too high. Or when the nuggets won and suddenly Jamal Murray was top 20, or when the Lakers won and Anthony Davis was #2 and so on. We just have to endure the offseason before Brunson falls back to earth (Which in his case is a great hooper but not TOP 5)
>>155399393If you're FMVP you're top 5. It wasn't rigged and there's only a speck of asterisk because Haliburton was injured. Jamal was also top 10. ADisney was pretty good too.
>>155399393Recency bias and the sensationalizing of everything is killing people's knowledge of the sport
>>155399459>Jaylen Brown top 5

>>155399481He said Brunson’s wasn’t an asterisk because only Haliburton was injured, when the inceltics won everyone was injured
>>155399500Everyone x2 in fact. Glad we have one white American born and raised poster that graduated high school and is able to read.

Something just feels right looking at MJ. Very aesthetic player.
>>155400446He looks like a confident man. Someone who will do his best and will always believe in himself. C Ronaldo has that same aura.
>>155400446By the late 2000s, Kobe started looking like he was being held together by duct tape. You can tell this dude was squeezing every bit that he possibly could out of his body. He even walked like if he took the wrong step, he would disintegrate.

Why doesn't Kevin McHale get more respect? Finished 4th in MVP voting in his peak season and averaged more PPG than Bird in two Finals series. Whenever people talk about top PFs they mention Duncan, Garnett, Giannis, Barkley, Malone but I never hear McHale put into that tier

>>155400956He's white, same reason people think Parish was just 80s Kendrick Perkins

I love that /nba/ is Rings above all else, to the point that you'd take a clearly inferior player because he won. While /nfl/ is literally so anti ring that it'll make a million excuses to call someone who won trash and claim it doesn't count
>>155401942Thats not even remotely true though. Most NBA fans unironically rate statistical achievements and awards over Rings. Just read these threads and you will see all the people discrediting Brunson because he never won an MVP.
>>155401942Ring culture is brutal
>>155402039>>155401990Seeing people go out of their way to call Brunson top 5 because he had 1 good game in the finals while seeing people completely slobbering on Drake Maye for having the worst playoff run in recorded history is hilarious
>>155401942>/nfl/ is literally so anti ring that it'll make a million excuses to call someone who won trash and claim it doesn't countThat's true

Wnba just expanded to 50 game seasons. And 3 more expansion teams after getting 2 this season. And the minimum contracts went from 60k to 300k. I thought the chuds said it couldn't happen.
>>155402420Do you think that human evolution accelerated specifically for basketball?
>>155402468I don't know what that post has to do with mine, Wilt would not be dropping 100 on the current league's bottom team
>>155402466If turns out if nba execs can pay "mobley" and "booker" $70m a year then they can subsidize a league for little girls to grow up and be inspired by.

Wembanyama had the worst French defense since the Maginot Line, babe.
>>155401942football is different, they don't play both sides of the field. basketball, someone like Wemby can affect offense and defense. Also less players so his impact is greater so they get more credit for a ring as opposed to football where some QBs play great, have a trash defense so they never win anything.
>>155394887Ican'tstressthisenoughtheregularseasondon'tmeanshitinthenba.
>>155395874If Melo is in there then even Alvarado gets in.
>>155395874Doesn't basketball let everyone into the HoF? KAT should get in no?
Will they ever let OG take over the team. He clearly has what it takes to ne the number 1 scoring option. Why let Brunson constantly put his body in danger during the regular season?
>>155402274Bill Russell should be considered the GOAT. It's a cope that he isn't. There is no good argument against him. But if he's GOAT, he's untouchable and there is no discussion. And the GOAT is someone 90 percent of fans didn't see play. And that's not good for shitposting.
>>155405022OG is made of glass. It's a miracle he didn't tear his hammy against Philly.
>>155405023>It's a cope that he isn't.no it's not we joke about mickey mouse rings but he played in a mickey mouse league, his 11 rings are worth less than 1 in the modern nba
>>155405023He's not that good though. It was basically just Celtics vs lakers then too
>sits her pussy down on the commentary tableWhy doesn't Wemby do this so they stop slandering his name? The commentators were out here pretending he's Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for fighting back
>>155405187>mickey mouse leagueThen why did he win more than anyone else if it was that easy? He also played multiple Game 7s and won them all so there was competition. Less teams means there's more talent in the league. Imagine the NBA now with only 8 teams. They would all be loaded.
>>155405485Right, it’s like Bill Russell said John Paxson hit that shot for Jordan but if it was Bill’s era Paxson would have been in the stands.

>>155388458>nobody thinks can win the East much less the chippyWho said the Knicks couldn't win the East? No one in the East was an unstoppable juggernaut going into the playoffs and they were in the ECF last year. I'm not saying anyone really bet hard they'd win it all, but it's not like they were some scrappy 6 seed everyone left for dead in the first round. The bracket lined up perfectly for them as well.
>>155410528The Mavs should suck for one more year or face the same problem they had with Doncic or Cavs did with LeBron - your 2nd year superstar carrying your subpar into the playoffs means your picks suck and your roster remains subpar

If you're saying they're impressive because of their record, then the 2017 Warriors have them beat there because they only lost 1 time in the entire playoffs and you don't even have them in your top 5.

>>155409967All of those old geezers would be lucky to hit the court all together a dozen times in a season.The warriors are retarded as fuck and so emotionally attached to Curry they'd rather flounder in the play in every year until he decides to retire than trade him and everyone else for whatever they can get and attempt to rebuild.At this point the Warriors are just a retirement home for Curry and Green.

Is 6'2 really that bad? How the fuck did Brunson fall to the 2nd round. Even his lesser white teammate got drafted before him.
>>155415884Jokic fell to the second round as well, these scouts just want to draft Johnathan Isaac’s then teach them to play basketball as opposed to skilled ready made players especially if they’re upperclassmen
>>155415884Jalen brunson isnt 6'2 hes like 6'0 give or take an inch. And thats with his big ass head that provides no real basketball height
>>155415884Scouting ≠ player developmentSame reason the Clops mishandled SGA and how the Shitxers just trade away awesome roleplayers and serviceable starters
>>155417230what's up with the meme of adding or removing an inch to guys you think the measurements lie
>>155417094>these scouts just want to draft Johnathan Isaac’s then teach them to play basketball as opposed to skilled ready made players especially if they’re upperclassmenthisnba teams just look at physicals and ball iq, everything else is irrelevant because they want to mold them to their own team's needs
>>155417230Any facts to back this baseless claim up?
>jokic
>>155417445NBA measurements are infamously inaccurate be it because they measure in shoes or the players just lie about their height and the teams allow it. KD and AD are famous for this as an example.Ive seen dennis schröder in person, listed at 191cm/6'3 at some point and he was shorter than me at 6'2. Theyve updated it to 6'1 now
>>155417879went downhill after 2k17literally a gambling lootbox paypig app instead of mycareer/myplayer kino
>>155417942surely a 2 inch difference would be apparent in photos where brunson is standing next to a plater
I thought the Knicks winning the NBA Championship would be a much bigger deal, its been hyped so much but a few days later and nobody cares.
>>155417230He's a legit 6'2, he's just built like a toddler with short limbs and a big head and it makes him look shorter than he is
Kyrie is a dogshit first option, but an all time second option. Maybe the greatest robin there ever was
never understood why Luka (75.5%) and Lebron (73.7%) are relatively such poor free throw shootersis it hand size? can't be because you have freaks like Kawaii with huge hands who shoot 86%is it a mental thingI don't get it
>>155420891Kawhi throws the ball in. Luka and Bron have more conventional free throw forms
Kyries a fake nigga
>>155422564That “father figure” question by the journalist really mind broke him
>>155420891Free throws are black magic, some guys can learn to hit them and some can't no matter what and we don't understand whyTim Duncan is literally called The Big Fundamental because of how sound his game was, was a good shoter from mid range and on long 2s and yet he was only able to get his FT% consistently above .700 when he was like 37Shaq seems to have gotten worse at them the more he practiced and more experience he had and LeBron's FT% seems to just randomly bounce between .660 and .780 from season to season
>>155422564hes at the white house man

>>155415884Jalen Brunson is 6 ft nothing he's 6'2 with nappy afro hair
>>155422564Kyrie was my favorite player, but classic case of a smart-dumb nigga. Someone who wasted too much time watching YT schizo docs after Khelani cucked him for Drake's weed carrier.

>>155425910Classic case of picking what you need instead of the best guys available. >>155425735Same idea here. They did have D-Stat and you needed a center at the time or you were unplayable, so I kind of get it. >>155425910Brown hated rookies, so it's almost like the FO shit picked on purpose. Still, I got bored and ran a My GM with them and threw Wade on that shit and dude was dropping 20 off the bench. Insane to not pick him or Anthony especially when the Pistons famously struggled at scoring. In Wade's case, he was everything they could want and take the load off Chauncey.
>>155427180Bosh and Kaman both played center. Hell even Kaman would have been a better choice. He went to Michigan ffs
>>155415884He was also an older rookie

The year is 2040. Victor Wembanyama is about to retire from the NBA, leaving behind a staggering legacy. After gaining 40lbs of muscle training with Giannis and developing a Kareem style skyhook from the 3 point zone, Wemby has become the most unstoppable basketball player alive. With 10 NBA Championships, 7 Finals MVPs, he has surpassed Lebron's scoring record and is by far the most dominant basketball player of the 2030s, matching even Michael Jordan's fame and pushing the NBA to viewership that nearly doubled Jordan's. He has drawn comparisons to Kareem, Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, Kobe and Lebron.And yet, whenever the GOAT Debate arises, one phrase seems to get said more than any other.>"Yeah Wemby's been incredible, saved basketball and all that.">"But remember Game 4 of the 2026 Finals? Yikes."Despite all that has happened, Michael Jordan is still universally viewed as the Greatest Ever.

James Dolan>I won't write a check that goes into the second apron>I'm forcing my players to go to the White House and visit president retard for good boy pointsWell, that was a nice... 48 hours where people thought Dolan had changed
What’s Wemby’s?
>>155432868yeah the espn special + superteam shit was the real backlash. people thought the big 3 would make it too easy to win. not the whole "he betrayed cleveland" shit. he only went back to the cavs because he's from ohio so actually cares what they think
>>155433064Jordan is truly the goat
>>155432901>forcing my playersProofs?If Brunson doesn't want to go he can choose not to just like Tom Brady.Dolan knows all too well what will happen if he exerts unnecessary pressure especially on the starting lineup.
>>155433125also the "not 1 not 2 not 3 not 4 not 5 not 6 not 7" rings promise kek dude was arrogant af
>>155432868The record doesn't matter because they were tanking after their superstar player who they based their whole team around left them. What matters is that Lebron went to the Heat and of course choked again like he did with the Cavs. But this time he couldn't blame it on the team anymore like he did in the previous years since he was the one that picked where to go and who to play with. Well he also couldn't blame them because he was got outplayed by Jason Terry and locked up by JJ Barea.
>>155433396uh huh and those other non lebron years they were tanking too right
Jose Alvarado and Jalen Brunson man you can’t write a story like that
I miss Woj bombs
>So bored I'm watching wnba right nowWow, Paigey is 2nd in all star voting~
>>155432901>>155432901Knicks players are all blue collar tough guys. No shot they don't like Trump.
>>155435278who is first
>>155435851Hart has been pretty clearly anti-Trump on his podcast. KAT shared a bunch of anti-ICE shit during the Minnesota incidents. My guess is that the most of the guys probably don't like him, but the Brunsons have a good relationship with Dolan and will do this for him, so everyone has to.
Where Trae Dung going?
>>155435278I'm watching Miles carry
>>155435997>>155435851lmao they'll be shat on and shunned by the rest of the nba
>>155435998houston after they trade KD and FVV
>>155435878Bam's gf
>>155414529CBA pretty much forces parity onto the league.
>/wnba/ died again we used to be a board
>>155435998back to washington. They already worked out a deal which is why he was fine sitting out
>>155388604This. I fucking hate how they ditched Sochan that fast and specially what Wemby did. Niggerish stuff.
>>155388995Since 1999, Western Conference teams have won 18 out of 28 rings. That's almost double.
>>155436666it was just 3 losers samefagging.
>>155432201All the players on the left couldn't do shit without LebronAll the players on the right could do shit without Curry, except Dray but defense
shai's turned into a minion
>>155436812Picking an arbitrary year to cutoff that fits you narrative is purely retarded. All time is all that matters. Who cares if the West had a recent run of good teams when East has been better historically.
Why are Luka/Wemby considered better than Brunson when Brunson has won at every level and the Euros have only ever lost?
>>155437121they impact the game more than he does and Brunson explicitly took a paycut because he knew he couldn't win without an elite starting 5. People really need to get basketball being a 5v5 game through their heads
>>155437178Yeah Wemby really impacted the game in the 3rd and 4th quarter
>>155437178Take Wemby or Luka and throw them on this Knicks team and they don't win. Only Brunson has the ability to take a performance and drag a team to a victory. Its a hidden un measurable stat that some people have and some don't.
>>155437005>arbitraryThis is near the year of a major rule change that changed how the game is played forever, I only added the first 2 years because of the sequence
Why are people saying Brunson took a $100m cut?He took the max that was available to him which was $156m. If he waited a year (and bet on himself) he couldve made $270m. So technically he didn’t take a cut nor was that money guaranteed.
>>155388604...Sochan was the franchise savior? He doesn't even average 10 ppg for his career.
>>155388249THe guys with the hardware can still buy a big max
>>155438138There was some hype when he first got drafted I recall but I’m not sure even the most optimistic spurs fan could convince themselves he was gonna save the team
>>155388656He's exactly what LA needs but with that spotty injury history I wouldn't. They already have enough guys made of glass on the team.
>>155390769>Carboloading is necessary for cardio athleticsfatloading actually, eat a whole avacado before you hoop or run and you can go forever, not feel bloated and you won't get hungry. Carbs are kind of a meme, especially processed carbs. If you're going to eat carbs you want berries or yams/potatos. Raw milk is also goated.
>>155392592That's honestly very insightful and reflective, props to him, I didn't think he was capable of self reflection like that.
I’m 5’8 but I play just like Jalen Brunson
>>155392592This is nice and all but Ive literally never heard him say hes sorry
>>155394848>wefans are so pathetic nigga actin like he on the team but he gotta pay to get into the arena lmaoooo
>>155394912seeding doesn't really matter anymore, what matters is positioning for matchuips in your conference bracket.
>>155438196>Utah """injuries""" Most of his real injuries seem to be upper body like his shoulder which is a much better long term sign for a big man unless he has some weird issue like garland with his toes
>>155439048>>155439048>>155439048NEW
>>155439053>Early>WemBitch threadLolSpursLmao even
>>155398595>Brunson probably is the strongest small guard in the league's history, he can't be backed down or knocked off his spots which is why he gets buckets.I was trying to brainstorm who was a similar type of guard. Billups had similar size but didn't throw his weight around like Brunson, and was more of a shooter and distributor, but I bet you if Billups played today he'd play more like Brunson.Lillard another big guard but he's a chucker, an elite chucker, but a chucker none the less. He never really got dirty.
>>1554390642 posts early is very good procedure
>>155400648It's disrespectful to musicians everywhere they're calling her shoe a debut 'album', imagine comparing musicians leaving their heart in the studio every time they play a note and some cheap plastic/rubber shoes made by slave labor in China that's sold for 30x markup
>>155401569At their peaks? Kidd Iverson Wade, in that order.
>>155402466The whole thing feels artificially inflated. I can't put my finger on it but it feels like an experiment to see if they can create fake value out of a league that actually has no one really watching or caring about it
>>155429656yeah sorry I can no longer support the Knicks they're frauds now
