Peak Warriors before Durant and they were "light years ahead" was so frustrating. They'd be down like 16 deep in the 3rd quarter and Steph would hit a single heat check 3 and my immediate thought we be "oh yeah they are going to win this game" and then they easily catch up and win the game by 10

So, supposedly the Blazers owner was making the team suck on purpose and making a bunch of negative decisions so he could move the team to Seattle.

Is there any chance the same might be going on with the Nuggets? Considering the Nuggets is in the middle of nowhere and Vegas isn't that far away...
>>
>>157483822
the blazers owner is just trying to buttfuck them on a stadium deal and using the threat of moving as leverage. That's pretty standard. The nugs are just incompetent and cheap out on everything that's not the literal roster. They've always been like that except they used to cheap out on the roster too

>>157483822
Nuggets and the rest of the West are a victim of the Spurs getting the lotto rigged for them 3 times. No team building can really compete with that since it gives the Spurs multiple undervalued contracts so they have room to make blunders (until the rookie contracts are up) like trading and extending Fox that other teams don't have the luxury to do. So the question of "why don't they improve their team" is tough because they already locked in a team that would otherwise be able to compete. It's like a whole other bar was raised that otherwise wouldn't exist.

You don't need to scout when you get top 3 picks back to back to back like the Spurs. That's another aspect of team building Spurs didn't have to deal with. When the Spurs were scouting outside of the top 5 like that, they got scrubs like Sochan at #9.
>>
>>157484025
the nugs were a sinking ship before the spurs even got good. Everybody called out their shit roster building and the organization itself was infighting over it as they squandered one of the best starting 5s in the league with an absolutely horrid bench because the gm thought he was smarter than everyone even though the coach was a fuck them young dudes kind of guy who ran the starters into the ground. Truth is their run was over before they even fired Malone/Booth and Malone was right to be pissed

These 5 alone were in a 6 or so years span. Two all stars, a solid role player, a guy who could probably be a 2nd or 3rd option else where, and the 6th man of the year. Not to mention guys like Jonathon Simmons who came out of nowhere.

I'm gonna go further and say that Sochan, Primo and Lonnie could've been decent in other teams with more minutes. Both Lonnie and Primo struggled to play behind guys like DeRozan, White and other stablished role players, and Sochan was playing in every role except the one he was used to, they even wanted him to be a PG lol

Most of their major players got paid before winning a ring. Murray, Gordon, Porter and Jokic's deals were already done pre-title, Braun is the only guy who really cashed in solely because of the championship.

What's fucked them is those guys ALL underperforming since then. Every single one of them has some kind of chronic injury issue and may be good or even really good on a game-to-game basis but will eventually shit the bed in a playoff series.

And there's really no fix for it. The Jokic-Murray-Gordon core *is* championship caliber when they're healthy and proved it by winning a title so it's not like they were completely insane to pay them. But if they can't actually play nothing is going to work. The lack of bench depth and Braun being overpaid *are* problems but they're so conspicuous because the intended rotation just isn't there half the time any more. They won a title with DeAndre "every fucking second I'm on the floor is a net loss" Jordan backing up Jokic. Lack of depth is manageable if your stars can carry the weight. But Murray can't any more and Gordon can't even get on the floor.

The team is built around three core dudes, only one of them is actually competent any more, and the other two have marginal trade value so they can't improve in any meaningful way. I can't decide if they're exceptionally fortunate to have got one title out of that core or if the shit luck is Gordon and MPJ crumbling into dust immediately after that. Gordon is only 30 fucking years old. He shouldn't be a useless lump of shit already. He's like 5 years ahead of schedule

MPJ and Murray were overpaid to begin with, but that's just how business was done back then so it's fine. The new cba fucked them in that regard and one had to eventually be moved. There was no excuse whatsoever to give Murray and Braun those contracts 4 years into the 2nd apron era which is why the team is dead in the water going forward.

Back to their actual viable window 21-25, it was already cut in half with the Murray/MPJ injuries, but they were internally sabotaged in the title defense and following year. Their championship roster had steady hands up and down while being at least 8 deep for the playoffs. They then gutted all those guys, except DJ and Jackson (agent deal), and didn't even try to replace them with ring chasing vets because some genius thought a bunch of late firsts, 2nds, and undrafteds in their 1st/2nd years could contribute on a title team. They ran their starters into the dirt that year and legit had a 6 man rotation for the playoffs because you can't actually play the Picketts, Nnajes, strawthers, etc. vs serious teams. Can't play the Reggie Jacksons or DJs either as Malone quickly found out. They were 1 more quality bench player from beating Minny and who knows what happens after

Then the next season they double down on muh youngins, though they did swap out RJ for Westbrook, and the same shit happens up until Malone/Booth get fired. They squeak past a fraud clippers team and go toe to toe with a wanting to choke okc team but they had bad injury luck and continued to get nothing from the bench outside the 1 strawther game. Last season was bad injury luck and poor coaching so there's not much to say there

As much as I agree with this entire post theres a bit of revisionist history going on.
>They squeak past a fraud clippers team and go toe to toe with a wanting to choke okc team but they had bad injury luck and continued to get nothing from the bench outside the 1 strawther game.
I remember how high people were on the 26 nuggets because of this fraudulent playoffs in general, not just for the nuggets but virtually everybody, the west was so fucked this year. The Wolves played a garbage Lakers team with an injured Reaves first round, and then a garbage Warriors team with an injured Steph the next round. The clippers were just bad because they had no winning players despite their record suggesting such, Kawhi is just incredibly flawed when not surrounded by a good defensive team and a good decision maker (Harden is a good passer but not great decision maker, and also very one dimensional).

People were so high on 26 nuggets because they went to 7 against OKC. Now I can't explain OKC being shit in the playoffs as easily, as I don't remember any major injuries aside from Chet? (But chet basically rested the entire season). But people thought the Nuggets basically only lost due to injuries, coaching and depth. So everybody thought the nuggets would make some noise in the 26 season, which ended up a disaster despite Murray's healthiest and best regular season yet.

You can cope that the AG injury and Jokic coming off resting nearly entire month injury is why they lost. But the Wolves were equally decimated by injuries, and Randle played like unironic fucking garbage that entire series. The excuses start getting hard to rationalize.

All I want is people to reconcile their optimism for the 26 nuggets with their doomerism for the 27 nuggets. Nobody even expected Watson to be a contributing player before the 26 season, so you cant use the Watson cope (also hes shit if you know ball)

the 26 nugs were better than the 25 nugs in a vacuum, but the circumstances were worse. They had untimely injuries to both of their defensive anchors and frankly were lacking the execution that they've been known for. They went from clutch gods to one of the worst in the league and their defense was the worst it had been in years which indicates coaching problems. Them losing to the wolves and how they lost was a sobering moment because it shined a bright light to all of their major problems and up to this point they've literally addressed none of them. They're old, expensive, unathletic, don't play defense, and nobody on the roster except Jokic/Murray can create a shot for themselves (maybe Derozan now but he creates bad shots). To date they're straight up worst than last season. Also, Watson was always expected to become a significant player for them and filled some major holes in their roster yet he walked for almost nothing with nobody to fill his roles

At the end of the day it all comes down to how Jokic and Murray play and for some reason both of them struggle so much against the Wolves. It's like this team has no dawg left in them, they fucking let Jaden McDaniels and Ayo Dosunmu beat them. And their biggest move in the off-season after this embarrassment is getting DeFrozen, you can't make this shit up

You don't recover from a broken hip that fast. Chet STILL hasn't looked the same since. Jdub also tore his wrist and him losing his shot because of it was a big reason the Nuggets series even went to 7 in the first place.

Anons, I'm a football (the European one) guy that travelled to the states to watch the WC and kinda got hooked on watching old NBA games, but it's literally my first time watching bball and I'm totally lost with how conferences, playoffs, drafts, rules and transfers work in this game, is there a decent guide on how to start or should I make my own researches myself?

whats confusing you? there are 2 conferences, in the modern day there are 15 teams per conference. Conferences are broadly defined by east to west, so east teams like new york, celtics, 76ers, and chicago bulls are in the east, and the lakers, rockets, phoenix suns, spurs are west.

Rules change from era to era, and I honestly dont remember any specific rules about the 80s and 90s besides zone defense, which basically means, you cant defend the space inbetween players, you have to either commit to a hard double, or defend man to man. Im sure euro football has the concept of man to man if my memory serves right.

They also shortened the 3 point line mid 90s, so shitty 3 point shooters got a boost from that.

the way the draft works is if there's a very high demand player in it then a specific team wins the totally not rigged lottery and if there's not a good player then one of those shit teams who cries about how it's rigged gets the #1 draft pick, unless it's indiana because fuck them

Player's who have declared to go pro all get put into a draft rather than be free agents. Teams then draft players one at a time for 2 rounds - each round a team picks 1 player (ancient times had more rounds fyi). Drafted players get a rookie scale contract for a few years to the team that drafted them and have to play for them. Undrafted players become free agents. Historically, the draft order goes in reverse order of how bad the team's record was the prior season - the worst team gets the #1 pick, the 2nd worst gets the #2 pick. This created a huge incentive for a team to be really bad so they can draft the best prospect to their team because in the NBA the best prospects are a lot more predictable than other sports and a single star can have a huge effect on wins and losses since teams only have 5 players in play at a time. So the league has steadily made the draft order more and more random each era to the point where it is literally a weighted lotto system now in the hopes that teams will stop sucking on purpose. There are rumors and conspiracy theories that the lotto is often rigged and it is harder to argue it isn't rigged every year.

There are 6 divisions of 5 teams, and 2 conferences of 3 divisions and 15 teams. They are sometimes influenced by culture, proximity and logistics, but not always.

NBA teams play Summer League (it's like a junior tournament before the season), Pre-Season (friendlies), Regular Season, Play-In and Playoffs.

RS is 82-games long, teams play 4 times against others from the same Division (16 games), 3 times against the other 10 teams in the same Conference (30g), and 2 times against everyone in the other Conference (30g). That's 76 games, the other 6 iirc vary every year, but it's usually a 3rd or 4th game against teams from other divisions, sometimes but not always in neutral venues like in Europe or China, or some neighboring city from an NBA city.

After the RS, the top 8 teams qualify to the Playoffs, but before that, we have the Play-In, where the winner of a single game between 10th vs 9th plays against the 8th best team, and the winner steals their spot and plays against the 7th best team to define the seeding for the playoffs. This happens in both Conferences.

The Playoffs is split into 2 brackets based on the Conferences. There are 4 rounds of series of 7 games, meaning if you win 4 you win the series and move on to the next stage. The 1st placed team faces the 8th from the same Conference, 2nd vs 7th, 3rd vs 6th, etc. Only one team gets to come out of each Conference and they face each other in the finals for the championship.

Recently the NBA added a Cup tournament, but it's completely different from the ones we see in footy. Essentially people didn't really care about the beginning of the Regular Season that much, since 82 games is a fuck ton of time to recover, so they tried to copy cup tournaments by... using league/Regular Season games. So games are worth double, both for the RS and the Cup. Teams are split into 6 groups of 5, best 2 and 2 best 3rd places qualify, and they play a single elimination bracket. Final is on a neutral venue.

First of all what team are you picking to support yung blud?
>>
>>157489009
>>157492125
The Cup is like 4 years old I think, so it's not given enough importance, but imo it has been a success because the energy for these games are higher than normal RS ones, and some a very Playoff-like. The award is like 500k for each player in the winning team, so for role players it's nice.

Tranfers in the footy sense don't happen much, you don't just wallet bully others, you have to trade for them with something of similar or equal value, or wait until their contract ends so you can sign them as a free agent. There is a salary cap in the NBA, and things like the 1st and 2nd apron, which are kinda like a soft cap that taxes you based on how much you surpass it, and a hard cap with a fuckton of restrictions. I don't know much about it but that's the idea more or less.

Drafting is how you get new players in to the league, usually, although they can also just be signed or go to the G-League, which is the NBA development league. The Drafting order is based on the ranking of the teams based on the last season, but there is a thing called a lottery, where the worst teams don't just get the pick based on their position, but they get higher odds to get them. Essentially, teams were playing bad on purpose, so the NBA had to add some randomness to it. So instead of the last placed team getting the 1st pick, they get the highest odd in the lottery to land it. However... Recently the NBA did some changes to punish teams who were still trying to tank, and it kinda changed all of that. I don't know much about the details, but certain situations, like a team being in the bottom 5 for consecutive years, will remove them from the top 5, and flatten the odds of everyone else in the lottery or something like that. You better off watching a good video about this part.

G-League is like a talent showcase league for the NBA, most players aren't really trying to win it, just get the attention of affilliated NBA teams.

As far as awards go, you have the MVP, which could mean one of these, depending on the narrative going on that year
> actual best player in the league
> best player in the best team
> player that carried the most
Then you have other awards like Defensive Player, Most Improved, Rookie of the Year, Clutch Player, 6th man (best bench player) etc.

You also have All-NBA teams and All-Defense teams, they are usually a pretty solid way of judging a player that year if he didn't win any other award or ring, but there are always some players getting snubbed.

All-Star is merely a popularity context, it doesn't really mean much.

Ah, yeah. The RS usually starts in later Octobers, but people usually only start caring about it in the Christmas games, or after the All Star weekend, which is usually in early or mid February. NBA Cup final iirc happens a bit after the ASG. Play-in and Playoffs usually start in mid April.

Teams can sometime add cash considerations to make salary work but that's also capped at like 10m iirc. If a player really wants to leave a team they can work on a buyout too.
>when you look at the list of the teams that have a ring, it looks heavily weighted to LA and Boston, it looks like those teams are the "big money" teams
Well, the NBA didn't always have 30 teams, and most of these rules were added much later. So in the 50s~70s, Celtics and Lakers dominated everyone. So that's why they have a lot of old rings. But they did win again eventually. They are also considered strong markets, so players do favor them sometimes.

> 10s: Spurs yet again, Miami's big 3, Warriors superteam, Russell Westbrook's Thunder and Harden's Rockets
20s is still young so just go with your curiosity

Popular Spanish players include Pau Gasol and Marc Gasol, and Ibaka, all champions, all had their time as stars. Manu Ginobili is Argentinian but I'd also recommend watching his stuff.

Kobe? Do you watch basketball with a seeing-eye dog? Kobe doesn't belong in the GOAT conversation. Look at his numbers. He's a career 44.7% shooter and a 32.9% three-point shooter. That sucks! Kobe played 40% of his career with Shaq! Shaq was the Finals MVP in all three Finals. Kobe is a 41% shooter in the Finals.
LeBron is a 50.7% shooter! That's much better than Kobe! Kobe never shot fifty percent in a season. LeBron has shot fifty percent fifteen times! He's a better at 3s too.

Just saying, there isn't an NBA player in history who was winning anything with the decisions that Cavs front office made. I don't care who you put in there, make it Wilt Chamberlain with a 3 ball or 6'6" Chris Paul, those teams were ordained by God herself to not win.

I honestly wish he would. He needs to somewhere where he's not wasting the rest of his prime waiting for Murray and Gordon to recover from their terminal pussy-itis

Would Denver fans really even be upset at Jokic if he left? He brought them their only title and carried the team for years while his shitter teammates kept flaking out. If he finally decided to just move along that seems fair enough at this point
>>
>>157505059
when was the conversation about who could hypothetically win with the cavs
lebron formed the heatles, then he got kyrie (#1 pick) and klove (bought for a #1 pick), then he went to la where he used their assets on ad (and westbrick), and now he's in philly on a min with 50 all stars
you are smoking pcp if you think lebron was shortchanged on competitive years and chances at chips, all out of his control. imagine how seriously you would take an mj fan who complained about his time in dc+retirement and said he never got a chance to shine. lebron spent 15 years pressuring front offices to mortgage their futures for his time there, then leaving town when the good times ended

They get like 3 extra baskets just off of all the spacing, so -5 points, and at least -3 assists are 2K assists (the scorer does 90% of the job). So, their real, adjusted, accurate, actual stats are:
>Flagg 17p 7r 1a
>Luka 17p 8r 3a

Wilt's stats are also heavily inflated due to usage and center centric offense.

Knicks feel like the Nuggets more than the Thunder. a team whose window closes as fast as it opens.

>>157526851
Knicks are more likely to build a dynasty than any other team because their players don't get injured every other week
