just get to inside the nba. no one wants to watch these slow-paced teams

I like Jimmy, but this nigga was the true missing piece. He's the one they're giving a max deal to in the offseason. Dude is like Jayson Tatum if he was actually as good as Celtics fans talk him up to be.

how on gods green earth was this guy floated around? he's a fucking beast.

>Warriors

niggies getting exposed just a tad here

They better not lose with the gift they got from Orlando

he sucked ass on detroit

exposed as having a bad half after winning their last 5

woah man totally exposed

No Rubio, No Neto, No Diang and we're crushing a full-healthy nuggets team lol

if the Sixers somehow make the Finals, do you think Butler/Harris will be smart enough to take salary hits so that the big 4 can be maintained?

What the fuck is their problem? Do they know what rebounds are?

just wait til the 2nd half when your whole team is out of gas and we're just getting warmed up

utah flopping quite a bit

Jokic with his worst game of the season

Man if IT gets 100% healthy, he brings a different animal to the table for the Nuggets. Can’t wait to see how he does in the playoffs.

but clearly he just needed a good team around him. he did well on the clippies (with bobi of course)

Always overlooked because he was a secondary tweener scorer, which only recently has been coveted. Traded to Orlando, from Milwaukee, for expiring Redick. Stayed there with Oladipo for a little while before being flipped to Detroit for Brandon Jennings and Illyasova. If he had played for, like, Kansas instead of Tennessee, he would have been drafted higher. And maybe he would have found a team that knew how to utilize his skills earlier.

You forgot Lyles

Jokic looks like a boy trying to play a man's game sometimes

>nba reffing

mitchell completely picked up his dribble to shoot a 3 and then just started dribbling again

90s kino is back on the menu boys

Niiang sucks, but we don't have Exum either

Jimmy Butler to my Lakies! Yay!

>big 4
confused, who is big and important besides jojo and ben
unless butler and harris are included? otherwise i can only think of redick (who's very streak-y) and tj mcconnell (who is pretty good but a bench player and is more of a chemistry guy than a huge stats guy)

This is a real risk. Uta had all the momentum for 18 minutes but the break will reset it.

Do not want

Simmons, Butler, Harris, and Embiid

>implying
after lebum went to lakespics philadelphia is done with them lol

He's obviously talking Embiid/Simmons/Butler/Harris

What are you even talking about, the Jazz had a 30 point quarter

>who is big and important
boban

Jimmy Butler has not played like a max contract player on the Sixers.

He's been good, and his clutch gene is something that very much is valued on this team, but you look at his overall performance and how he fits with this team... him staying with the Sixers longterm all boils down to 2 questions: Is he okay with being, at best, the #3 scoring option? And if he is, is he alright with taking a discount to fill that role?

The Lakers are too cancerous for a player like Jimmy.

Snyder >> Malone

Jokic is so ass

>figured out
every retard and their mother knows that's all you have to do against jokic pay me $50/game and I'll coach better than all of these fags in suits

Millsap is definitely getting his team option declined. They'll also probably decline Lyles' cap hold. Gives them room for a max contract. However, there isn't anyone good at that price point for PF.

Mirotic would be a nice fit if he was healthy more often. Randle will opt out, but he's not a good fit. Maybe bring back Chandler on the cheap. Harris would be nice, but Philly is maxing him. Pipedream is convincing Durant of coming, but that dude is going to the Clippers, Knicks, or Nets.

I never realized Greyson was such a manlet

Because he's a dumb zoomer. He and Murray are both zoomers, which is why the Nuggs aren't contenders. Zoomers don't have the mentality to win shit. When things don't go their way they just bitch and throw a tantrum.

Keep attacking the rim, even with Gobert back there.

Can the Nuggets win with a center that will get murdered by small ball?

yeah because then jokic can body them in the post, not all teams have gobert

And?

They still had Lopez under contract and Plumlee couldn't share the floor with him the way he could with Jokic. Lopez also had not yet turned into his current form. Nets got back Rondae Hollis-Jefferson for him. And the Blazers wanted insurance, because that very same summer Aldridge and Robin Lopez left and they traded Batum away.

How in the fuck does a team with this roster have the #3 seed right now?

I know Bogdanovic isn't putting up those offensive numbers on a nightly basis, so what's the deal here? Oladipo was barely enough, and there's nothing else here even close to resembling star power.

The potential problem for the Lakers is that IFF they strike out on marquee free agents and Jimmy Butler ends up being one of the better free agents left they will probably be desperate enough to sign him, after all Magic basically bet his job on the line that he can turn the Lakers around "because he's Magic Johnson"

Jazz have been keeping the Nugs at bay, no matter what run they go on.

@91177759
what drives someone to be a LeBitch fanboy in the current year? Hes so unlikeable and not even fun to watch (really never was...)

Say something nice about the Knicks.

They’ve got some decent young pieces and cap space. It may be purely incidental but it would appear they’re building the right way.

Top 5 pick, major media market and all the cap space in the world with some young guns. There are worse positions to be in, in the NBA

Theyll land kd

I like that orange is one of their colors

Dennis Smith Jr
Damyean Dotson
Kevin Knox
Zion Williamson
Mitchell Robinson

The only problem is if they don’t land the number one overall pick none of the other top 5 guys are a great fit for their roster as constructed. Think they could trade it for a solid veteran though, that appears to be the Suns intention if not Morant or Zion

I fucking hate the 3. The NBA needs to neuter it and make it harder to score 3s. Get people actually trying to attack the basket or create a shot instead of spamming threes.

Zion has no skill

Neither do Giannis or Lebron, it’s their athleticism and size that make them good because they draw so much defense away from memechuckers.

KD isn't going to the Knicks. They're a dumpster fire culturally and KD will not jive with the ownership and media hounds...Jerry West is gonna sweet talk KD into signing with the Clippers...

Celtics in 6, and the Celtics are trash

Have you not watched the sixers beat the warriors, nugs and thunder?
If they’re bad like you say, then the west is awful

They’re literally going to get destroyed by 30. Bucks have the best overall defensive rating in the league and the 4th best defensive rating. Lakers have the 29th best defensive rating and the 23rd best offensive rating. It is going to be a goddamn massacre and I’ll love it.

They can beat all the Western conference teams they want, doesn’t mean shit if they literally can’t buy a goddamn game off their competitors in the Eastern Conference.
Also, Raptors and Bucks are both head and shoulders better than the Nuggets and Thunder. Raptors also beat GSW twice and Bucks beat em too.

I wonder what the Sixers will look like when Simmons, Embiid, Harris, and Jimmy try to play hero down the stretch of a playoff game.

Remember the 90’s Hornets when Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson were two young guys who thought they were the best player on the team?

This is way worse

I personally think the sixers will be fine against the raps or bucks in a 7 game series. I’m a delusional sixers homer.
But they just cant beat the celtics for sone reason. Jojo and simmons shit their pants

Yes you definitely are delusional then, they haven’t proven in anyway capable of taking on the Bucks or Raptors, and the Raptors just added Gasol who destroys Embiid every time they play.

Here is my prediction...The Sixer's will get the 3rd seed and pacers will get the 4th. Pacers will beat the Celtics with home court advantage in 7, and Bucks, Raptors and Sixers will beat their opponents in 5 games. Then the Bucks will be rested and will defeat the Pacers in 5, while the raptors and the 76ers will fight to death and it will go to Raptors in 7. So Bucks - Raptors Eastern conference finals. Bucks in 6.

Nah bro, here is how it realistically will go

76ers get the 3rd seed

1st round:
Celtics beat Pacers in 7

2nd round:
Raptors beat 76ers in 6
Bucks beat Celtics in 7

ECF:
Bucks beat Raptors in 7

I would be pleasantly surprised if the Raptors beat the Bucks and I think it will be a great series, but ultimately this Bucks team is too effective in my view.

The Bucks are garbage outside of Giannis. Don’t let that yearly doubt fog your mind this year. Take into account the Bucks have ran with 7 starting line ups this year while the Raptors have ran with 15. Yet, the record between the two is only 2 games. Toronto has five guys in the top 40 for real-plus minus if you’re a numbers guy. Don’t give Milwaukee more credit than they deserve, especially a team led by a young star and coach who have both had immense struggles in the playoffs.

That's fair man, and I want to believe, but I look at this strategy: Have Giannis barrel into the paint and if he isn't doubled, he scores. If he is doubled he kicks it out to one of the open elite 3 point shooters like Mirotic, Lopez or Brogdon. I just don't know how you defend that.

But gasol doesn’t destroy embiid
Last time they played joel had 15 and 14 in a sixers win, he bullied him for rebounds and when the sixers had a lead embiid had reduced mins
My fear vs the raptors is the team defense, which is excellent, with kawai shutting down any hot hand, and the sixers inability to guard guards, which the raptors have a plethora of

>joel had 15 points
>that somehow isn't indicative of Gasol destroying Embiid on defense
by the way 15 points is the most Embiid has EVER scored when guarded by Gasol. Couple that with the rest of the Raptors defense and the 76ers really don't have a chance. Raptors also have the 3rd best offense rating in the league. It won't be a close matchup.

>since 2003 the only player who has more buzzer beaters than Dwyane Wade is Joe Johnson

The playoffs are completely different in terms of the flow of the game. He’s right user, stop being irrationally pessimistic.

As long as Kyrie plays, the Celtics are getting bounced in Round 1.

Even the most diehard Celtics fans know this to be true.

The AD rumor mills, Danny Ainge publicly backing Kyrie, Gordon being reinserted very early in the lineup and Brad Stevens being a shit ego manager killed the Celtics' locker room.

There's nothing wrong with Kyrie, the Celtics' style of play do not match him. The Celtics also fucked themselves by doling out $32 million for Gordon Hayward, he's not a max player even when he's 100%.

i'm kinda miffed bonga was drafted by the trash ass lakers. he has the potential to become really, really good.

also if anyone cares, paul zipser is back on the hardwood and playing in spain right now. he basically played with an undiagnosed fatigue fracture in his foot during his last season in chicago. reportedly his agent is in dicussions with some NBA teams, so we might see him again in the league. always liked him as a really solid bench rotation player.

I think he will
They gonna go rebuilding next season and will probably miss playoffs this year

my warriors are trash this year

Bases KD will carry Lurry to another ring don't worry...It will be the last one tho...

KD will win two more rings and FMVPs with my Warshits

How pissed will knicks and clippie fans be when Kd re signs with the Ws?

Gayest bait ITT

Based and redpilled

How pathetic would it be if Lurry had 6 rings and not a single FMVP? Thats Robert Horry tier at best...

meant for

Lol and he knows it too. You could read it all over his face when he was out their last night bricking threes and losing to the magic without his safety option in Kd.
He wants it to be "his" team, and maybe it is, but he has to keep hiring this mercenary to ever make it work right.

20 years from now, how will 20 year olds look back at this Warriors dynasty?

Will they call it the GOAT or will it be forgettable like the Heat?

Kobe Lakers tier if they just 3 peat, a 4 peat puts it at Bulls tier tho. The better question is who will get most of the credit, and the answer to that will be KD...

But if Steph can start winning some fMVPs it will just be seen as a superteam

its impossible to knwo that without seeing how GS plays it this offseason in terms of keeping Durant. If they keep him and Klay, that team wins a bunch more titles. Maybe like three more, and they are probably seen as the greatest hoop dynasty ever by the kids. Except by that point everyone will be doing superteams, and another one will probably come along to rival GS.

Does anyone know why Shaq never catches shit for joining a superteam in LA to win titles, but Lebron and KD always catch shit for doing the exact same thing?

Lurry will never win a FMVP as long as KD is a Warrior and once KD is not a Warrior Lurry will never make another finals...But yeah the point is we will view the Warriors dynasty as KDs team rather than the current incorrect narrative of KD joining a superteam that he was merely a byproduct of in 10 or 20 years...

GState might be the next bulls while they see the heat as the pistons

Tbh probably because there wasn't any social media when shaq did it

I could see that, yes

I want him to fall to the hornets but know it won't happen

People see Shaq as winning without needing the help but they see Kd/lebron as needing help to win anything.
Not saying their right, just thats how many see it.

Lakers were trash when he came

>cj mccolum for jimmy butler

wer sagt nein ?

I could get behind the Blazers if they got Based Butler

Jimmy Buckets is going to either Clippers or Lakers...

the nuggets are going to the finals

How does LeBron stay faithful to his wife since High School? he must cheat

He does cheat, he has had instagram thots post pictures of him sliding into the DMs before. His wife doesnt care

This, I'm so fucking sick of these know nothing zoomers

Don't talk about anything basketball pre LeBron if you don't know shit about it.

Heat were trash before lebron came

Dont get so pissed fella, just work on your reading comprehension and you'll be following convos in no time

You would bandwagon the Blazers if they got a certain player despite having nothing to do with Portland?

Heat had prime DWade and Bosh guaranteed to come. Lakers had Kobe who no one knew was going to be that good and a bunch of scrubs.

Fucking retard bronsexual apologists...

>lebum forcing his puppet ty lue into the HC job for the lakers

Why do people think he isnt a cancer?

Cant wait to see Pipe playing in LA

the heat won 47 games and went to the playoffs the year before lebron got there

Dwyane wade deserves to make the playoffs in his final year

That roidmonkey deserves premature death for cheating

Lakers were a perenial playoff team and needed one guy to get them over the hump. Nobody would have said they were trash.

You literally don't know shit

not even worth engaging

That's the same thing that was happening to the Lakers tho

Dumb nigger alert. Literally not one person said I was wrong. Keep up you dumb faggot.

Pau gasol is walking corpse

It's really two different cases. Kd was seen as joining a team where the cake was already baked. But Lebron catches shit because he left his hometown in a pretty rough fashion, as you recall from the comic sans Dan Gilbert letter.
Shaq just didn't deal with either of those two comparisons.
But I have agree that social media made it worse for Kd and lebron.

So how many points will Giannis score on them? And is McGee and Chandler kill or something?

I mean the Raptors can always pick up Zach Randolph for that 14~15 year veteran :^)

how can Boston lose so much? i think its stevens fault

>Kuz at center
>LeNoDefense matched with Giannis
What is Luke doing?

It's like he knows he's gonna get raped and at this point is just lubing himself up to make it faster and less painful.

it blows my mind we traded away our only decent center for fucking reggie bullock

You got that wrong, the Lakers traded Svi and a second to the Pistons for Reggie Bullock which isn't too bad, but trading Zubac and Beasley for fucking Muscala though was beyond stupid. The fact that the Lakers let Brook Lopez go last off-season despite he wanted to stay is just mind boggling

Jimmy is fucking shit. Net negative on the Sixers

damn that's even worse

He probably hates lebron and magic
He wont get the money if he resigns

Bad chemistry

So Bucks gonna retain this core and bring back everybody. Mirotic probably too expensive to bring back, even if you have his bird rights. Probably use the MLE on a big. Probably waive George Hill (partially guaranteed) if they believe in DiVincenzo and/or another guard. and eat the $2 million. Then some vet mins if they go far in the playoffs.

S-Sauce pls?

Please stop advertising this until he becomes a Knick. We're trying to make it a surprise.

I don't like white girls. I don't see me ever marrying one. They're all snobby bitches and their mommy and daddy are probably stuck-up cunts as well. They also age pretty bad.

that pic looks comfy as fvck

Lonzo's dad is making a mistake holding him out this long. Teams will see him as too much of an injury risk now.

i'm sure whatever you listen to is just as gay

that's all girls these days. also who cares how they age if she gets ugly just cheat

Pau Gasol got bought out by the Spurs (despite he was still under contract for the next season since it is only partially guaranteed) and the Bucks picked him up

twitter.com/wojespn/status/1101601687607959559

Even without the injury risk, would they really want a point guard that can't really shoot and the sideshow that is Lavar Ball?

Please Canada, don't tease me like this....

You need to be 18 to post here kid

>leltics
>not completely collapsing and first round exitting because of kykerie

is it just me or is flopping not a problem anymore? remember how bad flopping was like 2 years ago?

I think Lavar's math is that you put him on a team with shooters and he could be good. But that argument blows up when he is always hurt.

Boston will be different in the playoffs, you're all a bunch of goons if you think some regular season drama is gonna stop Brad and Kyrie from coming through in crunch time

They will lose in the second round

Are the Celtics a good team? No! Why are Sheltics fans surprised that they aren't going to win 75 games?
Best player is a robin
Not a single other notable player other than Jaylen Brown, everyone else is a scrub, or Al Horford, or a 1D defensive specialist
Collapse when they go down by 10, when was the last time they came back and won a game? They never do it.

PLAYAS ONLY WHITE BOI...

Alright so when Lolronto loses don't laugh at them until all the other games are over

Not happening, Nurk has averaged 20 and 10 the last few weeks and is in full on Bosnian mode.
With Enes not available Gasol only has to worry about Collins off the bench though so he should fair well there.

Buckolds getting steamrolled by the Lakers tonight

Let's go Toronto Raptor!

China

Playoff Kawhi is the best player in the NBA and its not even close.

Kawhi Leonard has never led a team past the second round.

Gasol is starting tonight so Nurse prolly feels confident with matching him up against Nurkic. Although I don't know how Gasol and Ibaka fair against him historically.

adding jeremy lin to the raptors perfected the Toronto Raptors franchise.

>Gasol is starting tonight
I hadn't seen that yet, Nurk is tough match-up for anyone right now.
Historically Nurk got into early foul trouble against just about anyone with a post up game and Gasol has sent him to the bench early a few times. One of the biggest changes in Nurks game recently is his ability to stay out of foul trouble for the most part. Hopefully he keeps that up tonight.

Let's go Blazers

Are Dame and CJ just Lowry and DeRozan 2.0?

my streams arent working bros wtf

>Assol

I'm also kinda worried bucks won 6 straight then lost (no giannis) then won 6 straight then lost (bullshit refball) and now they're back on a 6 game win streak.

What a retarded foul call on Gasol

Portland tearing that ass UP

1. Raptors replaced DeMar with Kawhi
2. Siakam having a breakout season
3. Ibaka finding success at the C position
4. Danny Green and Marc Gasol provide veteran presence for the playoffs
5. Nick Nurse's coaching ensures less Dwane Casey-style iso-ball in the playoffs
6. Raptors still have floor General Kyle Lowry and decent PGs in Lin an VanVleet.
7. Raptors kryptonite, LeBron James no longer in the East
