>You will never play NBA2k St. Volume 3
How does this make you feel?
I played a ton of NBA Jam go I'm good.
I want the NBA to expand hard. Give me a Vancouver team/Seattle team, a Mexico City team, and a Vegas team.

How come Ben Simmons doesn't look like his parents?
It looks like an Aeros game

Feels sad man.
Utah is getting blown the fuck out
twitter.com
Magic and Rob Lowe said a shit ton of retarded shit about their free agent signings and how they built the roster.
This person made a thread fact checking all their bullshit and proving the Lakers front office know absolutely nothing about how to build a basketball team.
Lakers fans also defended this shit before the season started and parroted this shit
What about the world champion Astros?
Keep on lobbing capela
Tickets aren't nearly as cheap as they used to be. They were practically giving those away a few years ago.
>3/16 for 3s
Cot damn we're ass from long range
Memphis to Seattle
Magic to Vegas
Pelicans to Eastern Conference
Das it, feel like there’s not enough talent as is for the NBA to expand.
Amir Johnson is so bad. It's hard to watch
you're in Texas, why not just watch high school football?
Is it too much to ask for? For these retards to stop committing endless turnovers?
Why is Simmons so trash in transition now
Cockshits are blowing this
Stop stepping out...
Yep. No more 8 dollar seats
Do you think Harden will leave HTown?
Kawhi carrying hard
That's why is name is a mere Johnson
Chill J, the Celts are up by 3 with the rock
Fuck yes
Pepe?
He's retiring there unless he's traded
Rockets suck
But the Sixers suck even worse
Rockets are a good team my dude
see you in the conference finals Houston
Back to twenty
they're memeballing frauds that will get exposed in a bo7 against a good team
Are you expecting the 96 sonics to make an appearance this year? The whole league is meme ball these days.
Why is cam newton at a houston game?
Keep trying capela
I feel sorry for the Pelicans, McMillan, Casey, and Rivers are the only good black coaches

Alvin Gentry is a horrible coach

who am I?
Hint: they traded me.
>those shooting percents
has to be ball
Can't believe they fired Monty for this clown...
Lin is literally useless
russell which again is still better than a ball
Brett Brown is literally the poster child of what a cuck is. I feel kinda sorry for him
I NEED me a white girl and universal basic income.
Trudea plzz
bro if you want a white girl that's because you've never been with a queen
I see you clark
Is Cristiano Felicio even real? He looks like some kinda unfinished play-doh gargoyle and his play makes me question his humanity
Lin - Kawhi - OG - Monroe - Ling
name a better lineup
Why is my Bullsies only up 5!?
Sixers are actually garbage without Embiid, anyone who claims Simmons is the best player on that team is a moron
emBITCH what a pussy he got blocked by CAPELA and then walk out like a faggot lmao....then HARDEN fooled him again with those moves. that injured fagg joe emBLEED aka MEDICALjoe aka emBITCH ass nigga is the shaqtin a fool mvp for sure..what a choker....what a loser.....LMAO
...
Is Jerome Ling playing well?
Not watching the game
Whats Ibaka's problem? why is he bullying Lin?
who gave lowry 9 rebs? peli gtfo
Kek
what is it with canada today jeez
Too many Canadians in this thread
14 pts 3 assists currently, hit 2 3pt shots
Ibaka is our 14, 15 year veteran now. He is allowed to son anyone on the team, except for Norm
Pistons
He's also quite terrible at basketball
Hear Ibaka has the longest cock in the league
wtf bros i thought the Bulls were good...
Well I would say philly got exposed tonight except anyone with triple digits iq already knew this would happen
he literally tucks it into his knee sleeve so that it doesn't drape around
Lonzo>Ben Simmons
Prove me wrong.
why in the fuck would you think that? Their bench is ass and they live and die based on when Lavine gets hot if it even happens at all
Not even just that, Rockets have not been good this year and clearly worse than last year while everyone else in the West has gotten better
Ben Simmons isn't always hurt
checkmate
They aren't yet. There's been a couple flashes to where they can be good but then drop back in to Bull-shitter mode
Trust the poocess
People rate Simmons?
Jeremy Lin''s family made the trip to New Orleans. That is dedication
who cares about Lebron James in the playoffs when we have Ben Simmons?
noice
All the way from thailand
Make your free throws capela
quintessentially leafs
anyone see kawaii smile with that boucher block? hes staying
i need to take a dump but my sister is already doing it and there's only one toilet fucking hell
butler just botched a dunk
I'm tired of life....anyone else?
Tell me more about your sister and the dump she's taking
Based Butler killing the comeback
People said Kawhi didnt show emotion but hes out here laughing it up every game. It's kind of beautiful
Too freaking easy
at least its the weekend my fren
bros should I drink this 4loko and get drunk by myself while I watch the OKC game? Its the only alcohol I've got
same here. I hate everything and everyone, including myself
sounds like u need hobbies mate
Fetch me a noose
How the fuck did my Bullsies lose their lead?
Butler is ass, I can't believe they traded the farm for this guy. And now they're probably gonna max him just to save face. Covington would be a much better fit in a starting lineup that already has 4 scorers.
>Jeremy thanks God
is this allowed?
should we tell him?
Official /nba/ suicide pact when?
tell him...
are we watching rapties 2.0? (grizzies)
it stinks
Imagine not trading for these two future hall of famers. Lmao Pellys fucked up.
you can have him knickers. Enjoy eating that max contract
Wow green
1, 2, 3, CANCUN!
Pic? I missed it.
Sixers kept trading their depth away for stars
>Legit maxing Harris and Butler as well
Sounds like something that the 76ers will regret down the road when Simmons want his big boy contract like Embiid
>12 percent shooting from 3
That butler trade is such a disaster and everyone called it. They need tobias to re-sign or they gutted the franchise for nothing.
Game ain't over and harden already left the game. lmao
LMAAOAOOOOO YOOOOO YLAL SEE THIS SHTI? HILARIOUS
BABY WON'T YOU COME, MY WAY-AY-AY-AY
To get away from the filth that is Filthladelphia 70shitters
are the 76ers frauds?
Harris is fine and his game fits the team really well. Butler is cancer that demands ball stopping high usage and is overrated on D. Simmons is mostly fine even without a jumpshot and just needs to stop making bad decisions
So should my Knickies get Kyrie or Butler to pair up with Based KD?
I thought Milwaukee voted Trump?
Heat making a late season run. I still say they are the scariest first round match up screenshot this post.
76ers would have been better off keeping Covington, throw in Saric in place off Shamet in the Tobias Harris deal.
Lads I think we lost the JV for Gasol trade
Yes, just like us!
MASAI IS A FUCKING FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUD
i would join
>Think
Know
You may have also guaranteed Kawhi goes to the Clippers
they wont make the playoffs
we lost when we traded demar for kawhi...
eh Gasol is better. losing Delon early was the real hurt
too many in general desu. The country doesn't even have as many people as california and it still feels like too many
>Jimmy Assler
Harris is good, but I'm not sure if he is max contract worthy (A contract taking 35% of your cap should be reserved for superstar-tier players, but he's definitely worth at least 25~30%). And until Simmons get a jumpshot and improve his decision making he might end up being a meme
Stop bitching, get off that proxy, and actually hit clutch shots instead DeFrozen, we know it's you
Shitting all over those frauds
cant wait for my warriories to bootyblast the nigglets
I miss him so much bros....
i literally forgot we had delon...damn
Lol /nba/ saying these young guys haven’t developed...
Lonzo Ball- turned into an ELITE Defender and fast break passer.
-Raised FG% 36%/40.6%
Ingram- 9.4 PTS/16.1 PTS/18.3 PTS
40.2%/47.0%/49.7% FG%
Kuzma- 16.1 PTS/18.8 PTS
45.0%/46.5%
Sorry; this Season is on LBJ
Lonzo is trash. Kuzma alone was not enough.
LeBron James (18 games missed), Brandon Ingram (12) and Lonzo Ball (17) have played only 30 games together this season out of 64. The Lakers went 18-12.
Lakers best three line ups have Lonzo Ball in the line up... Lonzo and Lebron haven't played together since Christmas (Lakers were a 4 seed at the time)
is brett brown bad or are phillyfags retarded? i feel like it was just a shit game in general but apparently everyone wants brett brown fired
Jeremy Lamb >>>> Jeremy Chang
SOON
Get rid of fucking lonzo and Ingram
Keep based kuz and hart
acquire ??? And ??? In the summer
There I fixed the lakers.
My Heaties!
If Brown and the 76ers keeps getting bounced in first or second rounds in the playoffs for the next few years he would probably end up sacked like Casey, Hell Casey had more chances than he should've as fans called for his head after getting swept by the Wizards in 2015
Nuggets > Warriors
111-106
Screencap this.
SJW story to help sell Curry's shoes that already cost under armor a billion

Time to watch the Nuggshits get exposed by CurrGOD
He's not elite at in-game adjustments, which fucks them against the better teams in the league. A good development staff for players on the fringes, but Simmons will be the key. At some point, he'll have to really get his jumpshot and FTs down. Almost, if not more, important is his decision making in clutch situations.
>time to watch a young team with 1 star get exposed by the greatest team ever assembled with 5 stars
tired of leafs and their low IQ posts
Put me in too
GET IN HERE POLICE CHASE IN COMPTON
KD is definitely leaving. And Cousins is gonna get paid by the Lakers, while the then trade everybody they can for AD. And no decent PGs
As somebody who really paid attention to the whole process, Brown isn't perfect by any means but phillyfags are retarded. The guy was told to do the best job he could as the team shed assets and purposely tried to lose and to his credit he got them to play hard and found some real diamonds in the rough. You could tell that the team would be playoff caliber the moment he got some remotely decent talent to work with and stop tanking, sort of like the nets these last few seasons.
Fast forward to last season. Team is finally mostly healthy and everybody thinks they'll win ~40 games and fight for an 8th seed. He has to restrict Embiid too because he's made of glass. They go on to win 50+ games and look way better than the sum of their parts would have you think. A lot people thought they were reminiscent of the spurs which makes sense since that's where Brown comes from. They win a playoff series and basically wildly overachieve
Then the boston series happen. They could/should have won that series. They were in almost every game yet without fail seemed to blow it at the end every time. There's a lot of fingers to point but most fans try to scapegoat Brown when really the players just didn't execute. Simmons and Embiid throwing the ball away, reddit bricking, Simmons getting a "game sealing" rebound but tossing the ball up because he's scared of FTs, etc. There was a lot of blame that could be thrown around but a lot fell on Brown.
Fast forward to this year. Management wants him to see what Fultz can do (it was awful), roster gets major shake ups twice, and bunch of new faces that don't know the schemes, etc. Still on pace for 50+ wins. Yeah his adjustments might be a little questionable or slow and he lets the team go on scoring deficits a bit too much, but if I had to overall rate him good/bad it would be overwhelmingly good especially compared to the rest of the league. Definitely top 15, maybe top 10
DurGOD*
>mfw Cousins + LeBron will be Kobe and Dwight 2.0
Wow some action!
>timeout
Wow consecutive baske-
>timeout
Would be a lot more fun without this
Klay the x-factor. Warriors only re-signing Draymond for the right price. If he is adamant about the max, he's gone
Can they afford to let him go with no durant? What would that team even look like?
Nigglets getting btfo. Already lost this.
Probably not. Durant will once again shape the league based on his choices and play.
cant be stopped
>there are NPCs in this thread RIGHT NOW who honestly think the nuggets (Denver) will make it to the championship and win
Let that settle in for you all. Niggas be trash like the lakers
most people complain about the last 5 minutes
Draymond is a bench player on any other team in the NBA, what he brings to the table skill wise can easily be replaced by a rookie in the draft
Pistons are 12-3 over their past 15 games. Playing some fun basketball desu
>anthem advertisements in my /nba/
JVG with the bantz
He actually fits well with Jokic, no? I was gonna say Houston, but I guess it depends on how much CP3 and Harden would want to run off ball. But dude isn't going to either team. He's gonna get paid by a team that doesn't have enough shooting and be an albatross. Probably becomes a vet buyout near the end of his career.
This, he had one good year where he was making his threes. There are dozens of players that can defend, rebound and pass while missing wide open threes in any given draft.
Put Draymond on Memphis and he looks like Michael Kidd Gilchrist.
they need to be the 7th seed for nba kino
Nuggets sucking
My Hornies
Wtf is this hormone-less Kraft cheese? Sounds like some bullshit marketing ploy for suckers
When warriors play actual D they are unstoppable
Nuggets just can't hang with that
ain't no girls asking for lebron shoes. curry wins again
Don’t forget they’re about to get the illegal screen god Bogut back
LET'S GO NUGGETS
MAKE YOUR FUCKING LAYUPS
The Big Mac is the biggest scam in fast food
why?
Who /jah/ in here?

they really are nasty. once you have a real quality burger you can just taste the cheapness of their patties. ive never had a grand mac though, they could be ok
See you tomorrow, Lebum
Can’t wait to watch my Celtics blow out le flaccid tomorrow :)
>11:16pm
>Just started the 2nd quarter
Fuck you NBA and your shit schedules. Get with it like the NFL where games END latest midnight
Oh shit Nuggies coming back Warriors BTFO
but its a west coast game on the weekend
It's just two thin patties with an unnecessary bun between them. It's more bread than burger. The sauce is fire though.
Nuggets are starting the wrong guys wtf
Black people are the only humans who are not genetically related to Neanderthals. That’s actually true. Do what you will with that information.
Get fucked yankee
So? It's a nationally televised game. Make it at least watchable for us
>warriors choking already
FUCCKKKKKKKK
>Get with it like the NFL
lol fuckin rednecks
warriors getting BTFO
God damn Philly is shit. See you in the ECF Leafs.
>Get with it like the NFL
The NFL is aired on local channels, so I assume they suffer major fines if they start late.
The NBA airs on TNT, a channel that only really plays basketball and cop reruns, so I'm sure they can eat the $0.50 cost of starting 30 minutes late.
IT playing pretty cringe...
Why are the Warriors so shit?
>IT trying to score
Should have make Jokic Point Center again.
Stronger than shaq better jumper than lavine. Fast as lebron competitive like jordan smart as bird
so was philly vs houston who was on earlier on the same channel
so who is gonna fall for greg oden 2.0?
2016 Curry was way better
I think the Bucks might be better than the Nuggets AND GSW
They wont start trying again until the playofs
nuggets yes obviously
warriors fucking no
yeah going on the sixers >reddit is like all the cancer from sports radio concentrated into one giant radioactive glob
like they genuinely believe every game is brown's fault, like jj didn't brick almost every shot tonight and the team was nonexistent in the first half outside of harris and butler
fakers will trade for him
Wilt is the pre historic David Robinson, great in the regular season but weak in the playoffs..
You can tell Curry has spent too much time in the weight room, it’s made him slower and his handles weaker
>Kevin D wearing pink shoes
He some kinda fag?
>Wilt is the pre historic David Robinson, great in the regular season but weak in the playoffs..
Shhh don't mention Wilt's stats nosedive in the playoffs. The autist will spam even more Wilt shit.
Thunder totally dependent on PG
lolwarriorswin
Jokic is an obese piece of shit
GG NIGGLETS
Why does Curry like pre-teens so much?
Jokic is trash big ass white stiff keeps getting
Blocked
Does Klay have the 'Tism?
>67-50
>Warriors > Nuggets
Speaking as a guy who has also been watching the process unfold, your right that Brown is not the problem. The problem is that sixies players are actually media creations are not and have never been good hoop players. Very likely never will be. Also I loled at the Spurs comparison, as I'm sure that's how philly does see themselves, but it's hilariouslu inaccurate in every serious regard. The Spurs could always shoot for instance and had true point guards. But the good news is you don't need much to be good in the east, and they will keep being that trendy pick for many years to come.
Overall Curry is better. Way more consistent, but I think peak Klay is better than peak Curry.
jesus christ the nuggets are playing like shit
They're better defensively for sure and are better in the paint. Golden State are just chuckers + Durant.
>Golden State are just chuckers + Durant.
how we know you know nothing about ball
They are different types of player but yes youre right
That's literally their offense though.
Nah bro there's more to it. They go for the optimal shot rather than just pull up and ios like Houston
Clippers playing some high energy basketball tonight, Gallinari and Lou have 22 and 21 at the half, respectively
OG
I actually like those shoes
Peak Klay won’t be better than peak Curry but Klays prime will last longer than what Curry’s did
Klay is the player you’d get if you added defense and 15lbs to Reggie Miller
It's too funny that JJ Redick played on both philly and the Clips because they were exactly the same team when he there.
based
Reggie Miller was a good defender and could create his own shot.
he recently got sponsored by Pepto-Bismol
Reggie wasn’t a good defender in his era, he was a good flopper. And he stopped creating his own shot when Mark Jackson joined the Pacers
Demarcus really cannot score can he?
All the games tonight were boring as shit.
Mark who?
He gets doubled because they leave Draymond open not his fault
Klay Thompson never created his own shot to begin with so what’s the relevance? He typically guarded the best offensive perimeter player, mainly because he started next to terrible perimeter defensive players in our best years (M-Jax, Mullin, Rose, etc.). He never bought on fakes, had a great size and length for a two guard making it hard for guys to get quality looks (seriously, watch his post defense in 98 ECF on MJ. Mullin gets torched whenever Pip/MJ/Kukoc post him, but Miller really did a solid job of containing). It seems like any older player who wasn't known as an elite defender gets labeled as some walking doormat, but this just wasn't the case. Maybe in 2005, but not peak Reggie
I mean what is he going to do on the Lakers etc when there aren't three other good scorers though?
>Klay Thompson never created his own shot to begin with so what’s the relevance?
Watch Klay highlights pre 2016, especially the pre Kerr era.. I remember Klay dropped 40+ on Kobe in 2013
PUT IT IN YOU FUCK
Boogie will be fine he's a beast. He'll figure it out
>"I'm retarded and know nothing about the game"
Reggie was a really good defender. Great positioning and active hands while seldom getting called for fouls.
Clippers with those new colors, black uniform..
Disgusting. Looks messed up, looks fake.
They didn't need to do that.
Should've just left it with classic b-ball cursive. Fuck all that bandwagon gimmicks
bbq bacon cheeseburger > every other burger
this is undeniable fact
Reggie only tried to play defense in the playoffs, regular season he was garbage on defense
S T E P H
C U R R Y
When Curry does that I feel so demoralized.
>his team's best player is an obese slav with a 1 inch vertical
>Midget ties up PG for the jump ball
>Refs let taller guy go up for the jump
I can't tell if the refs are legitimately retarded or if they don't care that people can see them blatantly rigging games
god I hate the warriors, and im pissed at the Nugs right now. They don't have their head in the game
this is like watching tryhards cheese in 2k
Looks like my rockets will have to be the ones that take care of golden state
why this nigga look like him and trae young have the same dad
Should I watch Ant-Man & the Wasp bros? I heard it sucks ass just like my lakeys...
Don't worry rest of the NBA you only have 3-4 more years of this before the GS big three breaks up
this is their last title bro. The logo will put an end to this nonsense he created
they're trash without KD
No way. We already have echoes of "this is some boring shit". I give it a year or two before the league rigs it and we get a finals with them not in it.
I would love to sniff and lick her dirty panties.
When the Warriors get up for games they’re still unbeatable, rumors of their demise have been greatly exaggerated. The only question is after they win the title will they stay together and how they plan to reinforce that center position and bench.
I want to fuck those girls sitting courtside beside the Warrior's bench
Well if KD leave that creates space for a more solid bench. Curry/Klay/Draymond is still a deadly core
They will obviously eat the tax to sign the big three. Draymond and Cousins are gone I think. There are enough bigs and role players desperate to win rings like Javale McGee that they can just fill out their roster with "minimums"
Warriors will sign Dwight Howard next year when they move to San Francisco
Thunder suck dick.
throw these nuggets in the dumper bruh, Spurs will upset these scrubs in the playoffs
Nuggets are home babies
RIP nuggies
So if the Warriors team plane crashed who would win the title this year? Rockets?
You can't really improve a championship recipe, trying to do so will fuck the team up. You can only maintain it. Swap only what needs swapping, because of injury and so on..
Trying to replace a major component to a winning formula won't work. Adding a major component to a losing team won't work either... everyone knows this
Except for Magic and the Lakers
Yup
Lakies
Its literally ending this offseason. KD is good as gone. Knicks dynasty up next my niggas.
Dont talk about lebrons dad like that. He intentionally played bad to keep the spotlight on his son.
Lakers
KD the guy who was on a burner account arguing with kids on twitter is gonna go to the new york and deal with that media? kek
lmao kd and boogie
Brehs
Jokic is getting punked
Oh shit. Is she going to toss here!?
Bell is really ass
Its not 1994 my nigga. KD will be fine in NYC and will be worshipped.
Cousins needs to shoot that imo
Who the fuck is this autist rambling on 5x5s on espn?
Who saw that Asian guy rocking a BBB sweater lmao
He was literally drafted to be Ezeli replacement, we all know he’s ass
>tfw no Clippers hypegirl g/f
I remember when he was first drafted people were clowning the Bulls for selling the pick like he’d have made a substantial difference in their outlook, of all the things the Bulls FO can be criticized for passing on Bell is not one of them.
Cousins with 6 blocks and 3 steals
Fucking refs ruin another game. Calling PGs 6th foul on a flop. Bow we have to watch Westbrick try to close the game
Yea that was trash
This thread needs more Canadians
Missed it
Refs have had direct orders to make okc lose the last 2 games
SKIP
2
MY
LOU
Wow refs kicked pg and westbrook out of a close primetime game baka
Nba officials are garbage
>Russ and PG both get 5th foul with 3+ minutes left in third
>Both foul out on offensive fouls that weren't even fouls
based refs
so basically get PG in foul trouble and you can sweep OKC in the playoffs
My Clippers are way better than the Lakeshits
That's based tho, only one of Thunder/Portland needs to advance obviously
Nah they gifted OKC a win by not calling the PG elbow on Nurkic. And tonight its the opposite. I think refs are just bad at their jobs
NBA is so rigged why do I keep watching this shit
Westbrook played amazing, if he keeps playing like this and PG gets back to MVP form we are winning it all
You’re not getting past the first round high key high key high key
>give LA +17 free throw attempts
Refs ruin (rig) the game
lel
retard kys
Just have refs that decide to fuck the thunder and they'll get swept
What did zoomers mean by this? You have to be 6’7 at least 225lbs to play SF
>westbrick
Thunder hit 2 more shots than the clippers, shot 15 less free throws, and had both their superstars fouled out with 2 minutes left.... this shit was rigged as fuggg
If Paul George would’ve went to the Blazers they’d have a realistic chance to make the Finals
Lakers are a fucking joke
They suck dick.
Accept it.
I wished this whole star chasing bullshit would explode in their faces and it did.
Them and their stupid fans got a pie in the face
Looking back, okc was perfect for him. A team full of players willing to play hard defense and rebound but without a go-to scorer.. allows PG to be the guy on a good team and take all the big shots and put up big numbers. And when they lose theres westbrick to take all the blame.
>CHOKELAHOMA
>SHITTY
>BLUNDER
SEETHING
At least the bench mounted a comeback until Lou does Lou things
Who are the Lakers getting this summer? Leonard, Klay, and Walker might be asking for too much.
Leonard is going to the Clippers
Swaggy P
Lakies will get Cousins and maybe Butler, but no top FAs
At least Leonard is coming to the Lakers. AD too if the Pelicans can get their head out of their ass. Why do you think literally no one wants to play with LeBron?
Lakers will tank, get the first pick, take Zion, and force everyone in the east to stop watching NBA
KD staying with the same core minus dmc and green
League btfo for another year
Night losers
twitter.com
>refuse to play in buffalo
>get traded to london
lmao
My Lakies getting Butler and Cousins and making LeBron lose the rest of his hair.
Got a mighty angus on the way home bros. Tastes good as fuck
Based. On spring break which is also based
imagine calling a guy that joins your team and is leading you to an even worse record than last year the GOAT
Ant-Man and the Wasp sucked so hard bros. Why did you tell me to watch it? It didn't take my mind off my lakeys not making the playoffs at all...
>not watching Captain Marvel in an empty theater and sobbing
I swear there are no true point guards left except Lowry and Rondo
Do I look like Kevin Smith to you?
CP3
Like a fat stupid faggot with no talent? Actually, yes!
What about CP3 and Rubio
damn you didnt have to do that to me...
Am I the only KD fan in this general? I hope my guy gets that third FMVP this year.
ben simmons is literally bigger Rondo, especially celtics rondo
THUNDERSTRUCK 2 WHEN?!
Ben Simmons is only in the league based on athleticism though. Not a pure PG.
Even if you feel like this season is a foregone conclusion, it'll atleast be a nice change of pace seeing a non-Lebum team get btfo in the finals.
why is Sprite ads target black people?
So what happened to the Nuggets?
Warriors locked them up.
youtu.be
MIX IT WIT DAT PURPL DRANK
KD cool and all, but I have this feeling I’m going to hate him once he leaves the Warriors. I guess this is the part of me thinking he’s part of the Warriors now. This must be how OKC fans felt when KD left.

this is basically the only general that doesnt use naked woman as clickbait for the thread. and thats a good thing, but are we really mature, or really gay
I mean, a lot of gay shit happens in these threads. Occasionally there are white girl debates or what anime are we watching.
By the way, fuck white women.
No shit, hes going to the fucking Clippers.
Should I go visit my family tomorrow? It’s a 2 hour drive, but I have midterms to study for. They already think I’m coming, and I thought I was going too, but now I’m having second thoughts because I want to study. I’d bring my HW, but it wouldn’t be efficient to study there plus I might get pressured into drinking. But I also haven’t seen them in a long time.
Daily reminder that Minnesota Timberwolves traded LAURI MARKKANEN and ZACH LAVINE for ROBERT COVINGTON and DARIO SARIC

>the west is supposed to be good
>shitty ass nuggets are the #2 seed
I can't wait until the Rockets catch up to the Nuggets and steal the #2 seed they would waste in the first round of the playoffs anyway... Jazz Nuggets is going to be a Utah sweep
The team playing in Denver with best home record in nba will get swept? Yeah good luck with that.
yeah just forget that the jazz smoked them coming off a b2b with NO POINT GUARD in denver and the fucking pelicans beat them without AD also off a b2b in denver
Cut Isiah Thomas
I mean if you want to base a season off two games that's cool. Again, they have the best home record in the league, and you'd be stupid to think they'd get swept.
>Again, they have the best home record in the league,
No, they don't. Maybe in your alternative standings
They're 27-6 at home. So tell me, which team has a better record than that?
Answer is always Bucks
Talking about HOME record, not overall record. I'm not gonna hold your hand for this.
Yes and Milwaukee's overall record is because of the best home and road record in the league
I hope that teacher got BLACKED by JaylGod
*Saves /nba/, even though they don't deserve it*
*Playoff Al activated*
Shame we lost so many years of prime Joakim on the Knicks
Can the Rockets get the #2 seed? 23 games left, 3.5 games behind the Nuggets and they've won 8 out of the last 10.
The Rockets play 3 play-off teams in the next 10 games - GSW, Spurs and Nuggets. That said, GSW have lost their last 4 regular season games vs Houston.
Spurs and Nuggets are complete ass on the road
This year is the last year of the GSW dynasty.
Draymond Green is not a good player anymore. KD is almost certainly leaving. Curry is 31 next week. They haven't managed to fix their weakness at center. The cap situation is finally catching up with them.
Even if KD leaves who is better than them in the west
KD leaving or not leaving is entirely speculative. If Draymond goes you’re only left with a core of KD, Klay, Curry and Andre Iguodala. That’s better than 99% of NBA teams, Curry at 31 is still an effective player because of his ability to shoot. Jason Kidd, who developed a jumper slowly through his career, was a force even at 39.
Cap space doesn’t matter when Lacob’s focus is on trying to be the next Chicago Bulls, fiscally.
With a core of Curry/Klay and a bunch of role players then you're left with a good team, just not a dynasty anymore.
And Iggy was never *that* good and he's 35 now.
And Cap space always matters. They only got KD because of their favourable cap position thanks to the sudden cap increase and Curry's modest contract. It limits GSW's ability to sign good players around Curry/Klay when they're paying well over half the cap for the two of them.
>They haven't managed to fix their weakness at center.
bogut just signed
wtf why does he have 3 feet
his shitty nike shoes split.
If GS is cappped out with a conglomerate of KD/Klay/Curry they’re good, you only need enough vet minimums to put around them. Thats two first ballot Hall of Famers that could compete for MVP on their own seperate 50+ win team and the ultimate 3 and D player.
>Andre Iguodala isn’t *that* good
clutchpoints.com
Lol stop watching box scores please
I see him playing maybe 10 mins a game behind Looney, if that. And that's assuming he stays healthy.
No one wants to go to that dumpster fire.
Goattics!
Will LeBron win another ring?
KD dabbing on the Gaysconsin Cucks will be pretty litty.
Why is the jazz flopping on shitty teams all of the sudden? Their schedule is easy but they find a way to keep loosing
I bet this is better than Space Flop 2
They are not very good team
Their offense is garbage
yup next year or the year after that
that will cement his legacy as a goat contender and definitely put him over kobe
No, every team to win a title has been elite defensively. Lebron is a shit defender
give me one reason to watch the NBA from now until the playoffs
That's if KD comes back. If anyone on the Warriors will leave next season, it's most likely KD.
My Celshits :)
My Lakeshits :)
They would need at least another star. I believe they would have to sign one during free agency, cause trading their young core for a star will probably just result in something like this season. Then they need to fill the roster with shooters. They'll also need KD to leave the Warriors.
lebron is a great defender when he is involved he is obviously indifferent about this team , hes waiting for the postseason to make his usual LeGM shitty moves and get jr smith melo and tristan
>Draymond is a bench player on any other team in the NBA, what he brings to the table skill wise can easily be replaced by a rookie in the draft
If KD leaving the Warriors means LeBum has even a 1% chance of even making the finals then I hope KD never leaves the Warriors.
Lebron hasn’t been good defensively in years, he’s playing 40 minutes any given night because he doesn’t care about this season?
Feels bad, man. I suddenly miss it and pic related. Couldn't find ps2 cover so no bully pls

>comfy 12pm game
going to be playing KSP while my Knickies continue to tank
how /comfy/ are you on this Saturday morning, lads?
I bet heavy on under for 1st half and over for the game. How fucked will I get today?
I'm really comfy tbqh
Kings will almost definitely win this one and it will probably be a blowout, you're good
Lol at the delusion in these comments. Why are Knicks fans still so irrationally high on Frank Ntikilina?
as long as he's a knick he's a great player
just like how I'll defend KD and kyrie no matter what until they inevitably sign for a different team
Coping mechanism, and remember that they could've drafted DSJ one spot ahead of the Mavs.
>Fire Phil Jackson AFTER he drafted Ntikilina out of spite against the Knicks when they should've sacked him right after the season
That's a big yikes from me dawg
watch games that are against teams around .500 fighting for a spot
go bucks
had this for the PSP
The Knicks are btfoing these fags
>Kings will almost definitely win this one and it will probably be a blowout, you're good
well i guess there goes my money
Ellenson is soft af
Don’t stop I’m almost there
BOBBITO CUCUMBER SNACKS SO FRESH WIT YO COMMENTARY
WHY IS IT EVERY TIME THE KINGS PLAY A SUB .500 TEAM THEY CANT STRING TOGETHER A PASS
Don't worry the refs will save your ass
>shooting 27% against the Knicks
Fuck my kingies
My kingies play fast :)
had this AND def jam vendetta.
goat fighting games tbqhfamalam
DSJ and Fox with 11 2 2
Best point guards in the class, Fultz and Lonzo busted hard
Best point guard gonna be donovan Mitchell
if the pellies play their cards right, in 2-3 years they can be where the kings are now. young, coherent, motivated group with upside working their way up through the western conference.
How was Knox a lottery pick
Muh length, should have drafted Porter Jr and let him redshirt this lost year
Kings won't ever go anywhere because in a few years niggas gotta get paid
Could easily see that if they never find a viable playmaking guard to put next to him.
You have to flip the guys who aren’t gonna be your core going forward so you don’t wind up like the Trailblazers. Basically keep Fox, Hield and Bagley, trade everyone else for win now vets.
At this point, I genuinely believe Klay is the better shooter over Curry. 9/12 last night, and he’s had insanely high 3pt shooting games this season. Way more than curry.
A better catch and shoot guy maybe. Curry leads in percentages and volume per their career while taking shots with a higher degree of difficulty
Klay can go nuclear, but he also shot like shit the first few months of the season. Curry is the superior jump shooter and free throw converter, Klay will never have a 50-40-90 year
the haitian sensation Buddy Hield
Ingram got sickle cell lol
Yeah, he was extremely shit at the start of the season but he climbed his way back to 40%. Actually insane

Why you think they call me ankle bully?
my lakies are making the playoffs. I already got the /nba/ script. The lakers are being set up to look like they have impossible odds, but will somehow squeak into the 8th seed and go on one of the most legendary playoff runs of all time. Mark my words, the lakers ARE winning a championship this year. This is all just an elaborate set up to make the storyline more compelling.
nba.com
Ingram got Bosh'd. Out for the rest of the season.
Laker Nation in complete shambles.
The way refs can rigg games this could happen
m.youtube.com
I miss him bros
What will Steph Curry's decline look like? Will he just get hurt alot and really shit at threes? Will he ever be a "bad" shooter?
i really don't like the lakers but the ingram news is pretty depressing. DVT is tough and scary. bosh was basically forced to end his career because of insurance issues. the risk of playing a player with a DVT tendency who could basically drop dead on the court is brutal.
>Ingram will be out the remainder of the season with deep venous thrombosis in his arm
MY KNICKES ARE DOING IT
>Thrombosis
He is finished
WHAT THE FUCK I HAVE HIM ON MY FANTASY TEAM AND PLAYOFFS START NEXT WEEK
FUCK THE LAKESHITS
He will probably just get really cold and streaky on perimeter shots. He will probably never lose his FTs until long after he retires.
Good shooters can play well their entire career into their late 30s, I imagine his decline would be stamina, health and speed.
MSG is full of asians
He eill definitely lose his speed at some point. The circus shots will start missing one of these days. Kd or Klay will leave and defenders will be able to focus on him. Also keep in mind he is not great when playing from behind oftentimes and that will be more of a factor when he time goes on.
Klay isnt leaving. KD isn’t leaving.
>declining player will get worse as time goes on
Holy shit just stop posting with your grade school observations
ahahaha BTFO
I'm gonna win my fantasy league buddy
we're trading ingram for AD anyway so his trombosis doesn't matter as long as it doesn't tank his trade value too much
People seem to forget Curry had his best shooting seasons the two years before KD joined. I guess defenders just weren’t dialed in when he was averaging 30ppg.
WELP
There goes not only the season, but any chance at AD too
If I'm the pels I still need Ingram. Kuzma and a first for AD this offseason
>so his trombosis doesn't matter as long as it doesn't tank his trade value too much
ya bro season ending injuries don’t effect trade value
what world do you live in?
haruchimaru + kuzma + ingram should do it. Then we get to keep Lonzo
Okay but that's a lot different than doing the same thing without Kd ten years from now.
smith jr blew that game
Why would a 41 year old point guard be the primary, secondary or even tertiary option on any team?
Lonzo at this point is a huge liability and no team will trade for him. That FO would get cleaned out if he sucked, which there is an excellent chance he would.
No idea what harichimaru is.
Because your always selling hope to low IQ fans and not every team is seriously trying to win
I think he meant the new Los Angeles Lakers superstar Orochimaru
Nah, all the legends who played till 40 except Mike, who had several years, came off the bench for their clubs and didn’t play many minutes. But if you’re suggesting Curry won’t be able to play like an MVP at age 40 I have no idea why that would even warrant discussion.
Lakers will keep him
No top free agents will voluntarily play with Lebron. His next few years on the Lakers will be very similar to the end of Kobe's career. The Lakers are waiting for him to retire basically.
>No idea what harichimaru is.
nbadraft.net
one of the players expected to go top 10 in the draft
...
WE GON GIT ZION WEEYUMSON
Thanks user. I will have to evaluate him during the tourney
If the Lakers win the lottery, it's rigged, right?
There’s no question it’s rigged. You had the frozen envelope fiasco with the Knicks, the Cavs getting the #1 overall for 3 out of 4 years before Lebron came back, and my Bulls got the #1 to draft Rose when they only had a 1.7 percent chance of getting it.
I’m sparks poster and the Lebron hate spammer. I’m sorry for my behavior and for detracting from the conversation here. I think it’s apparent that this place has sufficient spark and enough Lebron hate already. I will resume lurking and leave this board to evolve organically and naturally without attempting to influence the culture for my own pointless amusement.
