Yep, Bucks and Celtics will be in the ECF. Raptors gutted all their depth for a meme center, Masai made a bad trade because he didn’t want to sit on his hands at the deadline while my Bucks got the better Gasol brother and Mirotic.

Literally any team that qualifies for the playoffs in the East

strawpoll.me/17566451

Lebron and Lonzo are both top five players (arguably top two) but the Lakers organization needs to be gutted to take advantage of their talent. Ball is the undisputed best talent of our generation, but the Lakers still missed the playoffs. The best player ever comes, and they still miss the playoffs. Being the best can only take you so far.

On the contrary in the NBA good players always make the playoffs since it’s so easy to qualify. The Lakers just suck ass, you got the old and busted Lebron and your generational talent (Lonzo) can only make 40% of his free throws. What is that even?

The team’s good players don’t fit well together. They’d unironically be better with worse players that fit one another, see the Pacers. How are you going to win today with three out of your five starters shooting sub 34% from three?

Fuck you. Every Western team is just out to get the Lakers.

Durant is going to Sacramento man

Lebron unironically turned down a team of:

Simmons/Covington/Lebron/Harris/Embiid starting 5

Redick/Saric/Scott/Boban off the bench

just to act in Amy Schumer movies. Lmao.

That’s a good thing, sports are better when they’re competitive.

I'm excited for Space Jam 2.

Basketball is not so popular as entrainment business
He wants to be world wide multi field icon

>Lonzo is a top 5 player
What are you smoking?
Kuzma is better than Lonzo.

He might fight back on that because he has stats to pad, especially now that Kuzma, Ball, and Ingram are all sitting out.
He has a perfect excuse to chuck his brains out.

What happened to all the Lakers spammers from earlier in the year? I remember this thread used to be filled with pictures of Tyson Chandler, Javale McGee and webms of Brandon Ingram mediocre dunks

He is still an icon
Lebron is all that media talks about sadly

Injuries and poor play?

I agree, Amy.

They really couldn’t beat the Suns without Lonzo?

All but one or two have erased the sport from their minds until free agency comes around at which point they will spam for weeks until nobody of importance signs with them and then they disappear until the trade deadline.

Everyone in the west is against Lebron, even his own teammates and coaching staff. The fact that Lebron is still fighting proves that he is the best player in history and more of a man than any of (You) will ever be.

>still fighting
>not even trying on defense
Pick one

Reminder Luka is already better at 19 than Lebron ever was. And we’re adding KP and a max FA this offseason. Should we get Klay?

Honestly it seems like every west team tries harder against the Lakers and lebron

Unfortunately he has the personality of dish soap so it doesn’t matter.

incredibly unlikely but if it happens LeBron will demand they trade the pick for a vet, just like he did when he got back to cleveland.
Zion will go on to dominate and Lakers fans will hate James for forcing the trade but LeBron will be happy because he gets the spotlight in his declining years.

had a "Team chemistry" eh"

ASPECT RATIO

No. I'm sure this something that drives someone to perform their best against Lebron. Especially right now that they're basically crippled.

Such an easy run to the finals for the bucks i have to say

I'm seriously starting to believe LeBron left the East because he was scared of Giannis.

there's no way you leave the East, with Sixers as your best team available. and go to the West if there isn't 1 particular team and player you're 100% certain will steal the throne from you directly.

LeBron knew Giannis would cuck him in the ECF regardless if he was on the Sixers or Pacers or Nets, etc.

good luck going past my orlando magic

he was scared of all the up and coming east teams, except the leafs. The goddamn pacers gave him fits and the cavs needed a shitload of refball and a JR smith halfcourt shot to beat them. Better to run to a different place with a built-in set of excuses than to just watch your "kingdom" crumble

Brogdon is definitely gonna be worth the money. If Middleton can replicate last year's playoff stats, then he can get it too.

holy shit is this real?

Especially since MJ was the one that told Kerr he'd be open for the shot because MJ knew 100% without a doubt he was going to be double teamed and the defensive coverage would give up that open long two.

That's basketball genius mixed with trusting your teammate in the clutch. LeBron bricked a 3 trying to tie the game and Bosh and Allen saved his uncluch ass.

maybe

I want to believe my team can win the ship with the Warriors looking so vulnerable but I just can't believe it.

My hope has been taken from me for so long....

Not really. The more you see him play the more you realize that he won't ever be part of a championship winning team with his current playstyle. He's ball dominant and high usage but isn't super elite offensively and his defense is massively overrated. Basically he's not good enough to carry a team like that, but plays like he is. Still a very good player and can get you to the playoffs, but you won't go much farther with him as "the guy"

Attached: 1551920805954.gif (386x247, 2.53M)

Idk. It says bonus under the score sometimes. I dont usually watch so I wondered what it meant. Seems like nothing changes

In the sport of basketball, the bonus situation (also called the penalty situation) occurs when one team accumulates a requisite number of fouls, which number varies depending on the level of play. When one team has committed the requisite number of fouls, each subsequent foul results in the opposing team's taking free throws regardless of the type of foul committed (i.e., whether the foul was a shooting foul).[1] Teams under the limit are commonly referred to as having fouls to give, and thus they can try to disrupt their opponents without being penalized free throws. These fouls reset every quarter or half depending on the rules in use

After 5 team fouls in a quarter the opposing team gets freethrows every time a foul is committed even if it's a non-shooting foul. Thats what being in the bonus means.

So on the 5th foul do they get to shoot or it's the 6th?

after the 6th foul any foul is free throws

6th I think but now you confused me

Also in the final 2 minutes per quarter you only need to be fouled twice overall to get the bonus

fuck it, i would smash Amy Schumer.

fuck it, i would smash Amy Schumer is what the virgin say...

So the 7th foul since it’s after 6?

You get to shoot FTs on the 5th foul

Fuck it. Tonight I'm a Pacer bro.

why nobody gives shit to Lebron for joining the Lakers? it was the most generic move ever

any foul after the 6th so yes

how far are the Bucks going, bros?

"In other words, within any period free throws are awarded starting from the fifth foul OR from the second foul in the last two minutes of the period, whichever comes earlier."

they're winning the chip, Warriors' defense is trash, Iggy isn't enough.

So techs count as team fouls right?

They will lose to the Cs in the ECF

Why are you surprised? The Warriors got what they paid for.

If these hoosiers ruin the playoffs I fucking swear to god...

>lakers let brook lopez go
>he's suddenly shooting 3's at an elite level

I love giannis

Must be because when your in bonus and get teched you get four FTs

if the Celtics make the finals they're winning it. Period.

Attached: kyrie.jpg (600x419, 34K)

Will Demarcus Cousins get benched in the playoffs?

If Bucks win it all it has to be considered one of the greatest finals runs ever right? Like, the second best player is Middleton then Bledsoe is third. If they run through lets say, the pistons (2 all stars), Celtics (multiple all stars and multiple developing all stars with great coach), Sixers (4 all stars) and Warriors (5 all stars) or Rockets (perennial mvp candidate and former perennial mvp candidate), that has to be considered up there with 94 Hakeem or 03 Duncan right?

Guess what Atlanta is now doing with Vince? Don’t be surprised if they’re a playoff team as early as next season.

I dunno man. During my travels in south America I met a couple of Brazilians from Paraná. They'd probably be considered white here in the US. Good dudes though.

Absolutely true. Just look at the rapshits before Greg Monroe showed up. Now we're a contender for the ECF championship.

russ going for 60 tonight

hahahahaha

took three extra strength laxatives a few hours ago what am i in for ?its my first time.

I unironically think Lillard, LeBron, and Westbrook being so public with being with their children and loving them will help to at least partially decrease the whole "i'm a nig and i'm going to leave my woman after getting her pregnant" meme
these kids already idolize basketball players enough, hopefully they'll maybe take that shit to heart

I think only the last digit is relevant.

'We' have been contenders for years now. It doesn't mean shit.

get ready to take an enormous unending smelly Lonzo

I took laxatives a few months ago when I was constipated and a couple days later they didn't do anything for me. Eventually I had to push a suppository up my anus. It was a horrible experience.

Why doesn't anybody talk about teams like the nuggets pacers or trailblazers? All I hear is talk about the celtics Lakers okc and Houston. Is it a legacy/superstar thing?

how many NBA games have you attended, /nba/?

yikes you poor bastard you gotta do what you gotta do i guess

It's just a big market thing. Even the Knicks generate more coverage and they've been shit for decades.

suppositories aren't too terrible. a little uncomfortable sure but eh
I have (God I wish Yea Forums had spoilers) hemorrhoids and take a suppository once every other week for them. you have to go to the bathroom beforehand but it isn't too bad

7 Kings games I think

i dont watch nor attend nba games, i only shitpost here

I just want Stephen a Smith to mention the nuggets once.

I’m sorry to hear that brother..I’ll tell ya what tho prune juice works wonders on your system if you can tolerate the taste. Not even joking, that stuff is a godsend if you have issues with constipation. Really anything with magnesium is great for digestion..good luck friend :)

Big Markets.
>Lakers
LeBron is still the most important player of the league. He's the last superstar in the NBA. Nobody in the NBA has that kind of personality other than like Embiid or something, and he tweets too much for it to ever happen.
>Celtics
Collapsing even though everyone thought they would sweep the east. It's probably the biggest story following the Lakers drama.
>Houston
Last years MVP is on this team and was scoring like nuts. They almost beat the Warriors last year. Prone to fighting and escalating shit so drama follows.
>OKC
PG improved and Westbrook is a former MVP. Team is scrappy and gets in a bunch of fights, so generally people care about them.

Nuggets, are like that Hawks team from a couple of years ago that had a bunch of wins and yet got destroyed. I think it's great what they've done, but ... who cares. You know Harden is just going to steam roll them.

Pacers. It's Indianna, breh. Basketballs Home, but no stars on this team either.

Trailblazers, they're actually spoken about but it's like Denver. You just know that they're going to look out of place against Houston or OKC.

By defending and getting out in transition.

It was what they were supposed to do early in the year, but LeBron would rather play LeBronball for 40 minutes and statpad on offense instead.

Shit, meant to quote this dude :)

They kind of are surprisingly. Hence why the NBA keeps pushing them.

Hairdressers are better equipped for women's hair. They do men's hair fine enough but if you ask them for a clean fade and to trim the beard they will fuck it up.

one but I got banned from attending anymore

Probably not. He's still "injured" I wonder how durable the guy will be though.

Some people say he might not be the same player he use to be.

>45th largest media market
>big market
fuck outta here

no. He was ready to play before the knicks even traded him but was kept out because of politics and tanking. Now he's being kept out because the mavs are blatantly tanking

OKC is the 41st largest television market, behind places like Austin and Asheville

>45th
>not comparing to only NBA

Don't worry. Once Russell leaves/gets a massive drop in performance the place will be irrelevant.

The only NBA markets smaller are NO and Memphis lmao go to bed Tyler

These are banned at the ymca fyi.

OKC has a winning record against the Blazers and Rockets, but gets punished for being in a tougher division than Houston. Kinda retarded if you ask me

Damian Lillard is 6'2" Jordan

>Feminism commercial comes on
couldn't find the mute button fast enough lads

>tfw not black or a woman

it's not fair...

Giannis is the clear cut favorite and honestly it's not close. PG13 is 2. Jokic 3. and Harden is somewhere beneath that because he's a defensive liability.

Harden and the refs will win becuase of his big numbers.

Now you know how the Jazz feel

Nurkic is a pathetic flopper and has no respect for sport

GET THE FUCK OUT

ot tonight?

Hey refs this why you need to call flagrants, so players dont have to retaliate on their own

Thunder are only in this game because of garbage buckets from knocking down Nurcic every possession.

not being r*cist but niggers are animals

Its only 1 am

Why are the fans chanting Let's go Lakers!

Wasn't a flagrant. Wasn't a T ever. Let the boys play.

Nurkic put his hand into the rim to get that offensive rebound

Definitely missed call by refs

Blazzers getting to pick their FT shooter is probably better for them lmao

He looked so confident and he just misses lmao.

And this idiot bench warmer just chucks up the freethrow with no regard

OKC picks

Also Nurkic offensive goaltended

Elbow to the face is a flagrant, unintentional or not. Its reckless to throw your arm out like that. PG should have gotten a flagrant down on the other end and then Nurkic wouldnt be getting in his face

>Skal

LITERAL WHO

no okc picks the shooter

I wish every game could be decided by double techs where you get to pick a shooter

nvm im an idiot, okc picked some random lmaolmao

aww man poor kid

rigged as fuck, holy shit

I always thought that Skal would turn into a decent player

jesus christ fuck these refs

Al Faruq Imadeit

One of the top prospects in high schools who under achieved in College because he was played at the 5. He's a decent stretch 4 but he hasn't gotten enough playtime to develop.

I simulated a full season of Westbrook traded for Lillard and the results are surprising. Westbrook is averaging 26.1 ppg, 9.5 RPG and 8.4 APG but the the Trailer Blazers have the 9th seed. Lillard is averaging 27.7 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 6.3 APG and the Thunder have the 1st seed. Here's your playoff tree.

This isn't even debatable. Every other game is a 90s, 00s action movie.

>knicks are 7th seed

My OKShits :)

>most shot blockers get dunked on
Gee whiz, what a great observation. Also means nothing because Lebron also has the most turnovers.

If basketball is so pussy, why do the players all feel the need to be jacked as fuck? Why does every rookie get told they have to put on muscle?

Baseball is full of homos. They arent even allowed to look at each other in a mean way without the other team having a hissy fit

Not the batters. I also didn't mention getting kicked by them when they slide into a base.
Those punches are rare and not part of the game. Only thugs and goons resort to that.

Why do the Blazers always trick me into thinking they're a good team?

a manlet is the best mlb player, argument over

It's like AI mixed with VanDamme and directed by Michael Bay

>biggest lead of the game is in OT
now that's what i call playoff basketball

Because when I want them to lose, they disappoint me more often than not.

Because the NBA is all about image more than anything. Those muscles really don't matter unless you're planning to barrel in to the post.
Not an argument.

Baseball has all these fake tough guy unwritten rules that honestly make it so dumb

It was funny because a lot of guys mysteriously lost a lot of weight that season. Carmelo and Dwight both dropped like 25lbs that offseason

was over after nurcic got ejected

Great game regardless

Kanter is so fucking bad... OKC won the game when Nurkic got ejected. Should have never happened if refs could do their job and hadnt missed a blatant flagrant foul right before that. Wouldve been blazers shooting 2 FTs in a tie game with 10 seconds left then getting ball back. Refs tried to make it up with the super soft rebound foul at the end but it wasnt enough.

>swept

Go back to your cardboard boxes you homeless bums

Muscles matter because stronger players can brush weaker ones out of the way on screens, rebounding, drives... have you ever even played basketball? Theres tons of contact on every play.
