Who here play basketball forreal and want to hoop for YouTube?

>doesn’t play defense
Proofs or gtfo

You didn’t see Trae Young’s shitty ass styling on him in Atlanta?

He shot 6-19 lmao

If you ain’t watch the game I don’t really want to hear it

Does anyone actually watch the regular season?

What are you going to do, post a singular highlight because the entire game doesn't matter? Did your parents hit you in the head with a shovel when you were a baby?

Should I post the 44 minute lowlight that was Lebron James defense? I don’t debate with niggas that can’t bother to throw on a game and read the box score quick to try and catch up

If your shitposting on /nba/ youre probably a big enough loser to watch regular season, yes

I don't debate with niggers who think they know defense based on a couple of plays out of a 48 minute game

I don’t debate with white boys that can’t hoop, scroll basketball reference and get excited their favorite player got a triple double in a loss. If you’re not actually watching games you can’t see Lebron’s nonexistent hustle back on defense or piss poor rim protection when he’s inexplicably playing center for eight minutes when Dedmon and Len are in foul trouble early. He threw the game on D

>a couple of plays
>44 minutes of Leturnstyle letting niggas run past him without so much as putting a hand up

You haven't proven this, you're just hoping people accept your word as fact.

i wish i had played basketball in high school instead of doing nothing.
now it's too late.

The LA Lakers have had the 3rd worst defensive rating in the NBA since Lonzo Ball’s injury, Lebron is not that guy anymore.

If you’re in college play in an intramural, you’ll meet short Latina qts that think the military is a viable career option, and you’ll feel like Giannis every game.

If/when the Celtics acquire AD they're going to be a nightmare match up for any team in the league, especially with KD on a different team.

only if Ainge can fleece the Pelicans by not including Tatum in a trade

>watch game at 20x speed
>everyone missing shots at the rim
Why do you lie?

Except that Ad hasn't been a nightmare matchup for anyone since college. He'll be hurt. Kyrie will be hurt. Hortford crumbles under pressure. Tatum is probably gone, and the other guys are memes.

lmao fuck zion and fuck your draft

I do when I can, but only for my team. Even when I do have the chance, I’m either studying or working out and not fully into it like I used to be.

Can someone tell me why the duke game was priced at super bowl tier prices? This is so retarded. It’s fucking college basketball

Because that stadium only has like 1000 seats

Found the retard

So what? It’s college basketball.
The only retard is the one buying $2k+ tickets to watch college students play basket hoops.

You never seen Get Out? They’re paying an entry fee to an auction

Price determination is a product of supply and demand

Because it's the biggest rivalry in sports, people wanted to see Zion Williamson, and you can sell a ticket to some rich idiot who has no investment in either team for as much as you want. Cameron Indoor became "the" hangout spot because other rich people had dropped thousands on it.

Knicks fans getting a little uppity, they need to be reminded of their history as a franchise.

Yeah but in North carolina there's no other sports teams, and those two schools have won like ten national titles in the past 30 years. So it's just two rabid fan bases competing for a couple seats (after students get seated). So it's just retarded high prices created by this tiny, intense market.
But I literally wouldn't go if tickets were free obviously.

Lmfaoooo and people are actually defending this? The players don’t even get a portion of that whereas nba teams use it for their players million dollar salaries. Reminder that college players get paid pennies

they get scholarship full ride

they're not defending anything.
they're explaining why something is true.

>5x return on bets for Lakers not making the playoffs
Should I?

Would you rather play for an NBA team that puts you up with basic housing and food, or an NBA team that gives you millions of dollars to buy your own house and food?

No one is defending it idiot. You're just getting a lesson in basic economics. It's a good thing those soulless bastards walked into a shitshow where the teams shot a combined 10-59 from 3

yup, there's no way they're making it

>betting against LeGod

Looking forward to dems shoe horning Kamala Harris courtside in next years Duke Nc game. It'll be super subtle.

back to /pol/ faggot

They can’t play in the NBA though, they could go to the G league if they wanted. NBA not a part of the equation

Or overseas perhaps. But they want white pussy and to develop their skills under the best coaches to prepare for the next level. Full education too

You sound racist as fuck. Zion is a rich kid and has more than basic housing and food at his disposal.

What a coincidence you sound retarded as fuck

Not all student athletes get full rides. On top of that, they still need to maintain a good GPA. I think it was Sherman who said he was still broke and starving while going to school.

The usual argument is that the one and done rule is racist. What is assuming all black student athletes are poor if not racist?

Lakers are probably 50/50 for playoffs once the tanking begins

I just think it's really lazy if something is backed by stats to keep calling it racist.
It's more like reality.

Sherman sounds really uppity, most college students are broke and hungry. My wife and I were eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in our flat when spring break came around and the dfac was closed. Michellle and Barack Obama recounted a similar anecdote in one of their books.

Amateur athletes can always simply wait out the age requirement like Mitchell Robinson and Darius Bazley, but not being seen by scouts could hurt their draft stock both at home and even playing for bucks abroad.

Go to college, hone your craft, and then make the big bucks once youre ready.

An NBA coach could teach them more than a college coach could

Lakers are -125 to miss the playoffs.

The highest paid coaches are in the NCAA, I think many of the best are there as well. Most NBA coaches aren’t focused on developing young players, in college if you have a chance of going to the NBA you’ll be in the rotation.

>Go to college, hone your craft, and then make the big bucks once youre ready.
Best part for student athletes is a huge portion of them don’t make it big and wasted time “honing their craft”

If you didn’t make it big aren’t you better off having gone to college the time you were there. You either have some credits you would have otherwise had to pay for or a complete enough resume to go overseas and play, many such cases!

It’s no ones fault if someone isn’t good enough to make it in the NBA, no one is entitled to that kind of success.

Because Coach K gets paid to recruit. He isn't developing jackshit.

All my Lakeys do is win

Coach K is the only coach on that entire staff? Shit isn’t sweet out here in these streets, ask Liangelo if he’d do it all over again would he rather play a year at UCLA or in Lithuania.

A high school prospect is moldeable clay until one of these programs get their hands on them and mold them into a lottery potential franchise game changer. It’s a quid pro quo, with the proper input of hard work and obvious genetic luck it’s a prosperous marriage.

Nutted like crazy off a zinc supplement.

Charlotte is in North Carolina.

>doing it for free

crazy to watch someone lose millions in front of your eyes

They get their tuition paid for

Warriors barely get home court 1st round if they’re in the East

This is so melodramatic. The guy's leg didn't fall off.

Should be -200

Still the best team in the league

Where do y’all want to see these players go

Zion
RJ Barrett
Ja Morant

I want Zion on the Hawks and for him to wear some throwback Dominique Wilkins shit at the dunk contest. Hope he stays healthy. RJ Barrett on the shitty ass Knicks, he’s a scrub. Ja Morant on the Suns

Zion won't make it to 25 if he stays on the juice and that weight. Those knees will be blown soon in the nba

He’s not natty?

Their nearest competition are Kings, Spurs, and Jazz. Clips are going into tank mode eventually. Unless you think the 8th seed is going to crumble terribly it's a safe bet

Didn't get an answer in the last thread, so I'll ask again. What's the best vidya to learn how the NBA and basketball works? I need something with good career mode and many tutorials and explantions. Also should I say 'haven't get'?

Didn’t get is correct.

Win now vets (GH, AH, MM Sr, Kyrie, AB) and kids, with only a few guys bridging the gap (Rozier, Smart)

Raptors are now really strong though

They’re too weak to beat my Bucks

Yeah, Bucks were already a good team, but with Mirotic they can be the real challenger in the east. We´ll see

Have bucks gotten any better since last season?

>challenger in the East
We’re a title contender. We have a top 5 coach in the league who had been making eastern conference finals with BUMS before Giannis could walk
Yes, we added Brook Lopez and Nikola Mirotic and developed more chemistry.

>Celtics didn't trade Kyrie when he's leaving and has never worked well within their system
>TWolves didn't give up picks to send that awful Wiggins contract to tanking Cavs
>Lakers had a decent young developing core so they get Lebron who always destroys young teams for vets and cap destroying All-Stars
>Pelicans were offered the best trade of all time for AD who is leaving asap and they turned it down because muh-Tatums
>Knicks think All-Stars want to play there
>KD won't be smart and go to the Lakers to do what PG13 is doing to Westbrook and do that to Lebron proving he's the better player which is his fetish

NBA GMs are a joke

Ingram of fiber a day keeps the runny Lonzos at bay

If my team had the #2 pick and drafted Lonzo over Tatum it wouldn't hear the end of it

Yet the Lakeshits consistently ignore it or try to cope by saying Lonzo is good, the Lakers bias by the media helps too.
Once LeBron declines and Lakers end up not winning shit, Magic is fired, and Lakers are a bottom of the lottery team for the next decade, only then will people publicly bash the Lakers in the magnitude they deserve

Absolute fucking clowns

I'm a Celtics fan. I hate LeFlop and Kobe with a passion.

It literally isn't even close when it comes to who is better. LeBum has all the athletic talent in the world but Kobr has the edge in mental toughness and that shit is what made Kobr so great. He was a killer. Just like Mike. LeBum is more concerned about people seeing him as the GOAT than he is about being a straight up murderer on the court.

Lonzo is garbage

Any girl that’s not black > any black girl

I legit considered buying tickets at those prices. Don't be broke and you'll begin to understand that some things are worth experiencing.

>Kobe/Lebron debates
Damn this sport is boring as fuck, still!? There’s nothing going on different?

Nobody wants Kevin Love. He's right behind John Wall and Wiggins in terms of bad contracts

It's not really a debate. Only delusional Kobe fans think otherwise.

t. dicklet

I dunno how long you have until you can't get that kind of return anymore but I would at least wait until we see how the lelkers do against the rockets tonight.

The Lelkers were somewhat pressured into taking Lonzo even without Lavar's shenanigans.

Rob hopefully learned from this mistake and he shouldn't fall to the same meme again with the other Ball kid, especially when they're already on record on trying to ship Lonzbust out of LA quite a few times already.

Is the redpill that he got a secret two year suspension for gambling on games he was playing in so he went to play baseball because the NBA didn’t want to publicize it and ruin the league’s reputation?

>secret

That he got his dad killed for unpaid gambling debts?

I still think it was PEDs but you might be correct, based leaf.

Since he retired about three mos after his dad was killed for gambling debts, it's always possible that his dad begged him for the money, he said no, and then he was racked with guilt after they found the body.

I’ll admit it, I coon a little bit for white women. I might talk more black than usual, be a little louder and extroverted. I might try and make her laugh more than when I’m with a black girl. I might talk about how beautiful our kids will be on account of the fact they mixed.

I might even compare us to a famous interracial couple. I might flaunt my stripes and times I’ve been down bad more than I would otherwise. I might play grimier music with her in the car than if she were black. Might take her out to eat soul food. So what?

In any Twitter interaction if you’re backed into a corner and have a large enough following you can envoke a segment of users who will defend anything ethnic over anything white without any regard to context.

Rapaport didn’t say anything to do with race but since Meek pointed out accurately that Rapaport is white, it allowed him and his fans to invalidate what Rapaport had to say without even acknowledging it.

What are the chances Lonzo sits out the rest of the year?

Small

He’s not gonna sacrifice his health for a team looking to trade him. Him and his posse have already weighed on the very real possibility he’ll be playing elsewhere next season

50/50 because its starting to look like a protest, no time table to return a month after a mild injury is really suspicious.
LaVar said the Lakers staff ruined his kid and called out Luke specifically and wants Lonzo in Phoenix so I'd say there's a good chance we don't see Lonzo again this year, his beta mindset won't allow him to get back on the court under Luke..

the timeline for his return was 4-6 weeks, he's at the 5 week. he'll be fine

Lonzo Ball
Devin Booker
Kelly Oubre
Zion Williamson
Deandre Ayton

Kyrie as the sixth man

Give us the chip

He's still not practicing and can only run on an anti-gravity treadmill, I'd say he's at the very least 2 weeks away and probably more

They have the worst chemistry of almost any “good” team in the league, though. One or two bad playoff losses and they will fucking crumble.

25 games in a 82 game season isn't more than enough time.

You'll need the Clippers to lose 25% of their games or worse then the Kings to completely fall off a cliff (both teams have bottom 10 strength of schedule for the rest of the season)

Meanwhile the Lakers would need to win 60% of their games with a top 10 SOS remaining and having injuries holding them back.

This is why the Lakers have only a 7% chance to make the playoffs unless some tragic injuries happen to other teams.

You're completely spitting in the face of statistics and spouting logical fallacies and homer opinions as a counter.

>need the Clippers to (win) 25% of their games

Fixed

If you’re going by regular season performance then sure, the Bucks are better, but when you take into account Toronto’s veterancy factor and playoff experience vs the Bucks utter lack of any playoff success or real experience in the past, it becomes a lot more murky.

Also, confidence of the fans means nothing. Look how arrogant lakers fans STILL are when their team has been humiliated over and over again and exposed for being a really bad team.

I would give the edge to the Bucks, but you’re a moron if you don’t take playoff veterancy into account when devising power rankings.

Do you think their chemistry is worse now than it was last year?

This isn't an argument. You're admitting you have no argument and simply waiting for me to be proven wrong through a miracle.

Most definitely, Kyrie has been exposed as a locker room cancer this season and he carries his selfish mentality into the floor. Ball movement evaporates when he’s on the floor and their game devolves into iso shit, which will not succeed in the playoffs.

Also, I can imagine most of the young guys resent Hayward for stealing minutes because he’s terrible.
