Celtics/Nets Gamethread
oh really, i hadn't noticed it at the top of page one for the last hour
Trae Young scored 2 points without free throws today
He was tied for most shot attempts on his team
>LeMickey "I don't think a lot of people was educated" James, Russell Westbrick and the Los Angeles Lelkers finished the season 16 games under .500 and out of the playoffs
>LeMickey was not good enough to get a team with possibly six hall of famers into the playoffs
jazz are so fucking lucky, such bs
LOLing at this teadrinker that thinks his pasty, malnourished ass knows anything about real sports when his people never leave their houses lest they melt in the constant rain.
>Love is in the air
Emmabros, this isn't fair!
>Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins played just five minutes together in Game 1 of their first-round series against the Denver Nuggets, but in those minutes, they outscored the Nuggets by 14 points.
Prepare your anus, /nba/. There's a new death lineup in town.
Durant? More like Durcan't
Admittedly I haven't watched a ton of Nets games this year, but based on this quarter Steve Nash is a terrorist. All this talent and this is the offense he runs? They look like they have no ideas and are just hoping someone will figure out how to get the ball in the basket.
>have most talented roster in league
>hire coach with zero coaching experience
I will never understand this decision.
bc todays nba is less about hiring high IQ coaches with experience, gameplans, philosophies, etc. Its more about hiring coaches who the players respect bc they let them kinda do whatever they want. Not saying nash cant be a great coach but I'm convinced he was hired more to manage the egos and personalities than to be able to outcoach other top guys
correct. kd fucking loves him. he's probably unfireable on that basis alone
nash also hasn't generally been a bad coach, if we're being serious. he's dealt with a truly ridiculous range of lineups in his 2 years. I don't think the circumstances have existed to judge his capacity as much else besides the personality manager
AYUMU CUTE
And that is super important when dealing with these ultra egos. And even the best coaches at dealing with it can't keep the team together forever. But if you have the talent on your team, and most teams have great unrealized talent, then the difference between success and failure is getting everyone to buy in to a team concept, even if the Xs and Os aren't 100% the most effective on paper.
Fuck Lebron
>celshits struggling with the corpse that is the nets roster
you hate to see it
West is boring. It's gonna be warriors stomping out every team. The suns r frauds
why isn't ben simmons playing
Inceltics are fraudulent
Chronic fear
GUYS JOKIC IS THE MVP CAUSE HIS YHRH PER GAME IS 65.2, HIGHEST SINCE 1829, HIS TIRPG IS -7, LOWEST IN THE LAGUE AAAAAAAAA MY KNEES
please tell to the houston rockets to change their name/nickname.
because the nickname/name of rockets is a reference to the phallic shaped rockets.
Long life to Vulva Spaceship and feminism
This is Real.
04 pistons are the greatest team unit of all time
>4-5 all-star level players on the same roster
>big dick chauncey
>ben wallace the paint titan
>sheed wiping up the shitters
>rip giving an easy 20/night
>tayshaun prince putting up 15/night with great defense
>in fact, most of the roster could actually defend
>selfless team play style
>underdog mentality
Kek
I still believe in us. This is what you call a "schedule loss"
The only team that could've taken on those lelkers and won
sheed and chauncey deserve hof yesterday
Are we getting DeFrozen tonight?
>What are you talkin' about bro? You wild lol
Lol
Imagine being a millionaire basketball player and slumping your shoulders
Why the fuck didn't Derrick White take that layup
Nah, it was just a special team
merry Sunsday
sheed deserves it for cultural impact
chauncey is just far underrated
Do tripfags really expect people to respond to them or are they so far up their own asses it doesn't matter?
this goes hard
people do respond to them, and spend a lot of time talking about them besides
Something about the playoffs feels weak without the Lakers, might have to get LeBum out of there to bring that franchise back where it belongs
However topical, Jesus wasn't white
clippers lost
Kek
just filter him and the replies attached to it. it's just one tripfag that spends all day posting here to be honest
Golden State is going to fucking wipe the west aren't they? Their new death lineup played five minutes together and outscored the retards by 14 points. If Klay Steph and Draymond stay healthy and can get their chemistry in check and the supporting staff plays half as good as they did last night the warriors get another ring. What do you anons think?
Also kek at the Lakers
>filtering anything
soft
On paper, yes. On the court, no
>defending tripfags
please kill yourself wigger
or you could just stop talking about them if you hate them so much like no one cares dude
This post is accurate.
Anyone else watching the Nets Celtics game right now?
The Nets are so fucking scary. And they're not even trying. Skip was right; that's the best team of the conference without a doubt
I didn't defend tripfags, but good job proving how soft you are lmao
i will always support your post ayumudubbiesbro
NEST BEST
I hope the Suns and Warriors both make it to the final series and both play well so we can get some good basketball
Cavs should just make the lebron trade
They’re tied up with the Boston fraudshits at the half. Settle down stupid
They’re in the same conference cazzie.
Shut your faggot ass up
>The state of PeruAno
Nice jinx buddy
I meant the western final series I'm not that retarded
