>>158012895Is it just me, or did teams like Boston and Denver’s window close?
>>158012910Denvers window closed a long time ago. You could argue Bostons window closed when Brown was traded but it ended the moment Tatum came back and the celtics made him number 1 over brown
>pre season starts todayWell finally lol. Summer was brutal for this genny
>>158012895Pelicans have a roster full of championship players, but win 20 games every year?
>>158012971Coaching staff + management matters. Plus those “championship” pieces are 3rd options on championship teams at best, which is why teams want them.
>>158012910denver is wasting jokic prime and its disgusting
>The Memphis Grizzlies and guard Jordan Hawkins have mutually agreed to part ways, allowing the 2023 lottery pick to find a new home in free agency once he clears waivers, sources tell ESPN.last time i remember, hes a decent 3 and d guy right?
>>158013015This is Angel Reese’s cousin
>>158012971they are a farm team. they are stubborn and dont want to give up their players for ego related reasons though
>>158013041>just give up your players to good teams for free
>>158012856at least new york is good for finance bros. dont knwo who the fuck would want to move to LA in the big 2026
>>158013061I went to LA as a tourist, nice city but I wouldn’t live there. Was also kinda overrated, but I was only there for a Pokémon tournament so who knows
>>158013073>but I was only there for a Pokémon tournament so who knowsyou the guy that went to new orleans for pokemon, and complained about bourbon street?
>>158013083Well, yes. I didn’t really complain. Was just not for me.
NIGGAS AINT READY
>>158013099oh my aura
>>158013099should have gone butt to butt
>>158013099How many games this team win?
>>15801314052, but they wont win a chip until they get moved east for vegas and seattle
>>1580130991st duo with a negative iq
>>158012927>Brown was traded but it ended the moment Tatum came back and the celtics made him number 1 over browni dont think people talk about this enough. all season brown was taking shots at tatum in between the lines. id imagine he was not happy with tatum came back with one leg and resumed the role of the teams number one, especically after brown had the celtics as the 2 seed up until then and already won the FMVP + was in MVP talks early in the season
>>158013180so what youre saying is that jaylen was a drama queen
>>158013180reply meant for>>158012910>>158013190Yes but he was always like that. he thinks he is above others.
Probably should study for my exam coming this Wednesday. I’m already ahead of the class with the concepts (no one knows what they are doing) teacher thinks I’m smart as well

>>158013241Stephen Curry
>>158013241curry the cuck
>>158013209So study then
>>158013209whats your major anon?
>>158013267I’m in community college for business administration, but I’d like to focus on accounting after this because it’s my favorite and best subject.
>>158012895pistons that desprate to sign duren to that 200m deal after his disasterclass in the playoffs?
>>158013280well you don’t want to lose him for nothing
>>158013282Then tbey get stuck with him and his bad contract and they can’t do jack shit about it
>>158013138early 2010s feels like a fever dream, the 2010s themsleves feel like a fever dream. so this is how uncs felt about the 90s
>>158012971Free my niggas herb jones and trey murphy
east feels up for grabs imo, knicks dont strike me as a repeat champs team
>>158013241Probaby curry. dont see who else
>>158013332Screenshotted cause you will look stupid next June.
>>158013357kek
>>158013180They were a fake 2 seed.
>>158013357Was it that serious anon?
>>158013241gayson gaytum
>>158013280You can’t let them leave for nothing. Duren is still a valuable player to the pistons, despite his playoff woes
>>158013371tatum grew up poor but yea hes a bitch
>>158013357Touched a nerve didn’t I?
most lightskins i know are bitches expect for a dude named mike, blackest lightkskin i know
>>158013391>talk shit about my team>expect not to get a response Next June, book it.
>>158013399you know else talked about "see you in june", blunderskitz, who has not been seen since his faggot thunder got bounced by the spurs in may. you give off that energy
>>158013357look bud your little run was cute and all but we're on to the next on the list. Be grateful for 1
>>158013357streets laughing at you btw
>>158013399it wasnt even a crazy opinon from the anon, we havent had a repeat champ since the super team warriors, teams before that were superteam lebron heat, then the kobe shaq lakers, then the fucking 90s bulls. warriors desensitized people into thinking going to the finals multiple times (especially in a row) was easy to do.
>>158013405He’s going to come back October 20th and act like nothing happened
>>158012946>Summer was brutal for this gennywe would go 1 post eveyr 4 hours, wasnt like that in other off season years. wonder what made it so this year
>>158013455oldfags are leaving this site to go get paid on twitter. lots of the /nba/ old guard left years ago and continue to leave every year.
>>158013455nobody wants to post with dumb autists spamming the same exact shit every day. They don't even update memes. This is what year 3 of pete autist?
>>158013484because those autists have nothing outside of this site. Normal people come and go
jordan is the goat
back in my day we got married at 19 and stayed together
>>158013511nobody leaves, they just lurk more
>>158013544better then whatever the fuck this guy is on>>158012673
>>158013563I will not be here forever. I will move on from this place. I’ve only been here 7 years
>>158013578>I will not be here forever.
something just popped up on ebay that i need, and if it sells i dont know if it will be up again. hopefully its still there in 3 weeks when i will have the money to buy it...
>>158013578>I’ve only been here 7 yearsWhen I worked retail, they had a rule, if you were there for 5 years, you are most likely retiring their
>>158013448he can try
>>158013099these niggas fruity
>>158013448We on his ass if he tries
my raptors winning it all. you could have come to lebronto lebron but you fucked up
Genuinely, how do you guys stomach modern NBA?
>>158013099An injury probe faggot and a playoff choker. This team is a meme. Hell even keeping gobert over towns was such a dumb move. This franchise is a joke.
So where are the wolves finishing this year? Is ant finally going to have an mvp year?
>>158014790Hard to say because we have no clue how well their star duo is gonna work. If it clicks anything is possible. If not they are gonna be a first or second round exit. Also ant just isnt good enough to win an mvp judging by previous seasons. Especially since we have 2 megastars still not having won one in Luka and Wemby
>>158015031Man if only they had a center that wasn't a complete liability on offense. Maybe Lamelo can feed him some lobs
>>158014790We're finishing 3rd seed maybe second because OKC haven't improved their roster in the offseason much but they're still a great team.Ant is one of the best 3pt shooters in the league this is an easy MVP season now we have a pass first guard in LaMelo.
>>1580147903rd or 2nd seedWest looking weak asf
>>158013099Aura
KD seems like a true asshole on and off the court. Type of nigga to pay people to hang out with him
>>158016217KD the kind of hoe ass nigga that act cool with you when you around and then snitch on you and talk trash when your back is turned. Cupcake ass...
Altanta Hawk Tuahs lol
KD seems like a retard but I like his love for the game of basketball.
If KD wasn't 7 feet tall he'd be right here with us
>>158016439>implying he already isn’tEspecially after he got kicked off of twitter
How can Petefag always be on 4chan ready to make a new thread? Seriously nobody not even people on /NBA/ can't be that big of a loser, right?
Is this true?
a girl just walked up to me and called me gay for sittting alone in a room full of women (it was a dunkin donuts) what? i was just doing my homework in peace...
>>158016771>it was a dunkin donuts)A Masshole sitting in a room full of women? 100% gay.

>>158017283There is no way there is not a single place in philly thats nice enough for lebron to live in.I bet hes just trying to get the business opportunities he would naturally get on the knicks
>>158015203lamelo will feed him one time, then he'll go "holy shit" and never pass him the ball againsame as all of his teammates
>>158017856Gobert rarely had a lob threat passer on the Wolves, now he's got one its gonna be over.might be a record breaking season for my man Rudy.

anyone watching the sixers scrimmage?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZtHYqkkiJA
>>158018694I hope Lebron gets a horrific career ending injury.
>>158018730See>>158017283
That's 4 All-stars and all of them will be in the Hall of Fame. Jordan never faced anything close to that in the 90's....Wait, there's one more All-star i forgot to mention, Iguodala so that makes 5 All-stars on one team, jsbtw, the Warriors would destroy the Bulls....
Since Jokic is going to re-sign no matter how bad the team is, the nuggies should tank next season and reload with more talent around him
>>158019810They changed the rules for tanking so bottom dwelling teams no longer get the best picks this year but regardless Jokic is too good to tank with
>already got a BR notification saying Maxey alley oop to Lebron and the VIBES ARE AMAZINGjust FUCK OFF, Have to put up a whole season of the media dick riding these idiots.
anybody got a webm of the alley oop
>wemby practicing how to tackle chetty this yearIt's over...
wuffs
>>158019810>“I was here when we basically were a so-so team, and we won a championship,” Jokić said. “And we still have a capability and have opportunity to compete on a high level and to win a championship. For me, it’s legacy. You want to be legendary, and you want to be remembered. So I think that’s the way how you do it in my way of thinking.”If he actually wanted another championship he would sign for less money now rather than wait for the 350 million dollar contract next year. What the fuck does he even need all that money anyway?
>>158020349>take less money>they give more money to murray and braun and sign defrozen>"ok give me all the money"
>LeMickey missed the playoffs then got swept and gentleman's swept the next four years
>>158020198just complete AURA.
If LeBron wins this year I don’t think there are any arguments left for Jordan
>>158021122Embiid would be the bus driver if they won.A non-bus-driver ring does not help the legacy.
>>158021122yeah jordan shoulda joined the lakers or spurs instead of the wizards, what was he thinkin
>>158021122nobody gives a fuck about bus rider rings. Kobefags cope later, but this aint about you
>>158021122How? Jordan will still have more rings in half the years played
>>158021122LeBum wishes he can get a quarter of the viewership that Jordan got in a regular season game
>>158019862>nuggers try to tank>jokic wins mvp, fmvp & rangz regardless
How can 76xsters fans even like LeBitch when his first move on arriving is to say "this city sucks balls, imma live in Manhattan and commute by helicopter". If they had any balls they'd be chucking d cells at him
>>158020518>20% chance they might do something right >0% chance they might do something right because they literally can'tI would take the 20% if I want another championship and to be remembered. But I doubt he cares about any of that, he just wants his last big contract and then to retire
>>158021197Originally Jordan joined the front office of the Wizards. I think there was a handshake agreement that after Polin died Jordan would become owner. He got tired of watching fucking awful basketball and decided to suit up for a couple years. Polin was not against all the free money having one more chance to see Jordan play generated for the Wizards. Eventually it was made known to Jordan that he would not get the Wizards which pissed him off so he left the organization.

>>158022504Kek
>>158022504why is embiid challenging that in scrimmage

nba is back
Miami Heat’s starting lineup:Davion MitchellKlay ThompsonAndrew WigginsGiannis AntetokounmpoBam Adebayo>No KawhiI'm out dawg
>>158026014so Kawhi is the SG or SF on this team? Is it Poeltl-Barnes-Kawhi-Barrett-quickley?
>>158026014>Poeltlyeah that team ain't winnin shit lmao
>The two European games the Spurs have are against the Pels.wow two blowouts and everyone will bandwagon them, fuck you Adam Silver.
>>158026164Pels give spurs a lot of trouble for some reason
I found my wife bruh...
I just saw a commercial promoting the upcoming NBA season during the Yankees' playoff game. Silver finally pulled his head out of his ass is actually marketing his sport. Is this real?
this is giannis antetokounmpo's first game as a heat
Bam is dogshit
....LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
Why is klay starting his legs are literally held together by tape and glue
Bam is such a fucking pussy
AIEEEEEE MY PUSSY
rapshits are getting rolled
the raptors look really impotent without dick
>>158026860Losing our dick made us trans
the raptors look dogshit
THJ really said fuck the nuggets and signed with Miami for nothing kek
>rapties suck>leafs suckall that waiting for nothing...
>>158026900He's ring chasing
0/8 from 3Raptors.........
damn its just too easy for the heat
20 million point blowout
Pelle is tough
don't pull up that stat from last season of raptors record against good teams
WE NEED DICK
Alright I've seen enough, send these dickless raptors to the WNBA
>>158027087what was it?
Klay and Bam look fucking CHEEKS.
>>158027284if they look this cheeks while dicking the rapshits, then imagine the heat's cieling
>>1580272774-13 vs top 10
what the fuck is klay doing lmao???
>>158027438Vibes
>>158027456They said he was gonna be like Ray Allen...
>>158027509Ray had stinkers too to be fair, go look back at some of those playoff series
pelle kinda singlehandedly keeping the heat bench unit alive desu
Heat bench is destroying the Raptors
>>158027557Good bet for 6moty I think
>>158013241Jokic>Both are #15>multiple MVPs>insane passing ability
THJ might be the only second gen player darker than his dad
>>158027774obscure trivia
>>158027774Jae Crowder is darker than Corey as well
larsson is like the white herro
jovic is ass
>people do the laugh around Kawhi to mess with himlmao
My first move as the new commissioner? We test LeBron and investigate his links to PED/HGH.
>>158024207That's gay as fuck
>Nikola Jokic>Giannis>D Mitch>The GOAT Bam Adebayo>second greatest shooter of all time in KlayIs this the most stacked team of all time?
>>158028700All I remember from Davion Mitchell is that he sucked in his first 3 years at Sacramento
kawhi looks like he'd rather be in LA
>>158012895What's your favorite game where Kobe was carried? My was game 1 vs the Spurs in 2001 when he had 45 and 10 and dunked on Tim Duncan and David Robinson repeatedly
>1/8>0/4These are our chuckers? Lmao bobby cant draft shit
>>158028064you mysteriously died in a helicopter crash where a totally not CIA agent was on the scene to explain to reporters what actually happened
>>158021176>>158021215Jordan gets a legacy boost from a college bus rider ring where the other team thought intentional goaltending was a good strategy and then let his team dribble for 5 minutes straight because there was no shot clock back then.
>>158029582nobody gives a single fuck about college. If they did then Kareem has no peer
imagine if they actually call any of these push offs on sgay
Just saw the lakers roster wtf even is that team :)
>>158029037For me it's game 7 of the 2000 eastern conference finals where he led the team in points, assists, rebounds and blocks. Thank God Shaq was there to save him!
when is luka getting his fucking MVP man
>>158030459When he becomes an MVP caliber player
>>158030459Literally never
>>158030459He was the real MVP in 2024 and it wasn't even close but they had him in 3rd place. Maybe they like him now that he is in LA so he might win one soon if the Lakers are a good team
>>158024207ZESTY
>>158024781>pantyhose>bootsfinna jerk off
>>158029682Speaking of Kareem he got legacy points despite being the worst player on the court his last ring and Bron already got credit for riding AD's bus. It's not going to happen with Philly's roster but if it did Bron's getting more glaze than he deserves.
>>158030109>>158029037Some of these statlines before he lost his athleticism are literally science fiction to zoomerball fans. He had 45 points in that game on 1 made three and 8 FTAs against a team with 2 all-time great 7 footers. Game 1 against the Magic is another great example where 8 years later he has an almost identical statline purely by being that fucking good using his body control, footwork, touch and athleticism to get off good unguardable shots on the elbows and in the paint. No flopping, no pushoffs, no min-maxing up tempo memechucking, no uncontested layups and floaters because the floor is spread because you have 2 other all time great shooters on your team. It's just pure basketball skill and people that don't have him at MINIMUM top 5 are fucking insane.
>>158031176He was still the defensive anchor and focal point of the offense when Magic pulled back the break. It's not the same as Lebron playing literally no defense whatsoever for half of his career so he can conserve energy to statpad on mentally and physically soft zoomers who can't stay in front of a 40 year old.
>>158030459>if it exists, theres porn of it
>>158031553you had to set-up your own joke. lame
>>158030987>He was the real MVP in 2024 and it wasn't even closeMavs were barely above .500 until they traded for PJ and Gafford. Luka wasn't even in the running until Embiid blew up and all the voters scrambled back to chokic
>>158030109And don't forget spurring the comeback by taking charge on the floor and in the huddle as a 21 year old while Shaq was already making reservations to go clubbin for the offseason.
Our 76ers getting that ring
luka doncic is a fat loser
https://x.com/PolymarketHoops/status/2106226379079704726
>>158032816I don't get it
LeMickey once showed his smol penis on national TV.A smol penis disqualifies a male athlete from being a GOAT.
LeBron got so much aura in a 76ers jersey
>heat fans overreacting about one meaningless preseason gameit's gonna be a good season
rapsbros it's time to kill ourselves
>>158033762and he got swept
>>158034108
i wonder if kawhi even knew bin quickley was on the team cause he didnt play at all during the playoffs
Heat should get rid of Klay ASAP, THJ Jr and Larsson are better.
Klay's been unplayable for like 3 years now. It's crazy he's still in the league while Westbrook is retired.
>>158036553Players still have to respect Klay as a shooter and that's what the Heat need. You will never see anything like this with him on the court even if he is completely washed
I only watched the first half but after seeing Giannis and Bam, yeah this Heat team is FREE for my Minny Wolves.Just guard the Greek because Bam is inconsistent as shit.
Klay Thompson in his Miami Heat preseason debut: 0 PTS0-2 FG0-1 3PT13 minutes
Obviously they gotta stay healthy but tell me that don’t look like a chip just waiting?? Can’t wait for the season to start. Is it just me?
>>158043295I seen some tweet that some reporter asked Embiid how did he feel that his name was announced last or somethingkekThe Lebron effect has already begun.
>>158013099
My Mayor is Muslim My City is Live La Ilaha IllallahKnicks in 5
>>158043295There is a 95% chance one of them will be traded before the season ends. There is a 40% chance two of them will be traded before the season ends
>>158044557Maxey and VJ are untouchable so if he has another injury, he's gone.
>>158044557lebum pulling the strings to trade brown for kyrie and embleed for adisney
LeBron tried to have an innocent cop lynched and never saw punishment for it
>>158043295if embiid is healthy they win a chipif not they losechances of embiid being healthy? 10%
DEAR LORD MAKE IT ALRIGHTONLY YOU CAN MAKE IT ALL RIGHT
The sixers main advantage is that in the entire east there isnt a center whos remotely as good as Healthiid except maybe KAT.If your teammates dominates at center you traditionally have a massive advantage compared to other positions
>>158045927I'm not fwin with skinny KAT.
>>158046005Too bad cause he's fucking you
image the lols when the Lakers beat the 76xsters in the 'nals
>>158046033KAT is a bottom, you can tell by the gait of his walk
>>158046005fuk u say boy
fuck man I dont even care just get rid of IQ
>>158046140You gotta give up some picks at least to move off Barrett and IQ
>>158046222we dont have any
>>158046470Damn you’ll need some picks to move Poeltl as well
>>158046108facts
>>158046470>no picks>overpaid a bunch of mid for multiple years>center's back exploded>trading for one of the most toxic player of all time Kawhi was considered a win by fans despite giving up unprotected 1sts to do itbleak.
Kings have a nigga in a suit and tie LMFAOOOOOOOOO
>>158029037Or the game before that where he had 48 and 16 closing out the Kings
Lebron living in NY and commuting to Phila is not about him dissing our city. Choosing us was a business basketball move to win a chip. He originally went to NY 1st and they said NO. We gon run it back with the unit we have.Him living in NY is a personal bucket list box to check off. It just happen this way. IMO
>>158048954he's lookin sharp
>>158017715The man doesn't want to live next to black people, why can't you just respect that.
>>158017856why did Lebron actively run away from guarding Gobert?
>>158049799>Choosing us was a business basketball move to win a chip.Lebron chose Philly because no contender wanted him within 1000 miles of the team.
Luka FC who are we blaming if the Lakers have a stinker season
>>158052364Reddick.
>>158052230the offensive prowess of rudy goober was too much for the man who can guard all 5 positions
...
>>158052364Quentin Grimes and JJ Reddick being too coward and white guilted to play the 5 white lineup
>>158052364we're gonna get a reminder of what a superstar is this season when luka carries them to the 1 seedeveryone forgot what that word meant since lebum has always needed at least 3 top 10 teammates to do anything
D wade had an incredible career for a guy with so many injuries.Imagine the 2005 playoffs, where he got fucked and they narrowly lost to detroit, we also wouldve gotten shaq vs duncan
>>158052230lebron is guarding the left pocket you fucking retard. every team plays zone defense since the 10s. the right question to ask is why are luka and vando guarding the same spot. vando probably left his zone to help luka cause luka fucking sucks at defense
>>158053990>Lebron left the paint wide open because it's a zone defense>also, it's Luka's fault even though he's also a part of the zone defense and he's the farthest guy from Gobert
zah
>>158053990>>158054022it's actually #7's fault (GAYBE) for not rotating, so he halts everybody else's rotations
76ers look SCARY this year
>>158045927>there isnt a center whos remotely as good as Healthiid except maybe KAT.Giannis and Bam are now better than Embiid
76ers more like 67ers
>>15805470467 bros have we truly fallen off?
I can't watch the jaylen brown timer vid like the amount of cringe it emanates is so insane
>>158054071He was actually doing this in Space Jam tho
Strus just tore his acl
GarlGoat will be top 10 this season
Why is everyone missing free throws?
>>158056843If he keeps making tough shots like that the cloppers will be able to trade him and get back some frps
>>158056892retard. doesn't know ball, its not even the shots that make him a fringe top 10 player.
Clippers can play with a lot of pace now. Golden State already look old
>>158056948He's a chronically injured guard who plays not a lick of defense he better be nice as fuck with the shots
>>158031673He was better than anyone else this year, retarded leaf.
Wagler looking like a bust I can't lie
>>158057092he looking like egor right now if egor could get freethrows, lets wait for the year 2 hype for wagler too where people forget all his flaws based on offseason workouts and one hyped regular season game (orlando)
