So why did the Lakers give up? They could have tried to go like 43-39 or 44-38 and hope the Clippers, Spurs, and Kings (3 very shitty teams) drop games. This team is weak, they're not winning any ships with LeBum.

Because they signed quitters

I defended Otto Porter when everyone else said he was bad and I was fucking right, like I always fucking am

deal with it

If you are not married in Germany after the age of 32(?) you pay extra tax for people that actually have kids

because of the lottery pick. why would you go to the playoffs to get bounced in the first round

that's some informer/blic level industry grade bullshit disinfo right there, bolane.

Magic Johnson had 9 siblings. I wonder how well of they are now from Magic, or if they’re living regular lives because Magic didn’t give them much.

That'd actually be a good law. Call it the incel tax. If you're not having kids, you're not contributing to the future of the nation. It's better the married couples take your money since they're raising the next generation. Makes perfect sens.e

They are in his upper arms and not his legs, like Bosh. He'll be in blood thinners for a few months and re-evaluated then. It would be a sick twist of fate if it ends his career. And none of the Lakers lottery picks would be on the team if Lonzo continues to get nagging injuries.

Lilliard is on the very edges of good enough to build a championship team around. You could do it but it would be really tough, you would need multiple all-star level role players. I would say Lillard is maybe similar to or even slightly better than Chauncey Billups. Very similar effiicency numbers, Lillard takes significantly more shots and can carry the load a little more, both similarly bad defenders. And Chauncey was the best player on a champion, but obviously he needed Ben Wallace and Sheed and Tayshaun and Rip Hamilton around him.

Kemba is definitely not good enough tho

Should I buy a 6 pack of beer tn and slam them down as fast as possible? Haven’t got drunk since September

How much is the nba gonna fine Paul George?

because they're even shittier than the Clippers, Spurs, and Kings

but they have the GOAT

Imagine drafting busts two 2nd overall picks in a row and they are both injury prone as well.

ingrams body type was a red flag from the start

He isn't bad, but he is certainly overpaid because Grunfeld gotta Grunfeld.

It’s not fair...

$25 mill a year is not going to stop you from signing a star or anything like that, and in return you get an excellent complementary player who makes everyone on your team better

Like maybe in a vacuum he's overpaid by like 3 or 4 mil but who gives a shit

6'2 140 here

I've skipped leg day for a full year and am already really skinny and my legs don't even look like that. Can't he even squat the bar? How does he jump that high?

If Knicks drafted DeRozan...

I want him to go to Atlanta. That team would be fun as hell, Trae Young, John Collins and Zion? hell yeah

imagine if the Kings drafted Klay Thompson instead of Jimmer Fredette and then the Warriors drafted Kawhi

zion to the mavs would be the best

Umm, sorry sweetie Zion to NYC is a lock :)

LMAOOOO based Dell Demps ruined the Lakeshits forever and the rest of Lebron's career.

that would be stupid because first of all, they should be happy with Luka, and second, Zing and Zion can't play together

that would be stupid as hell

If you’re a 5 time All-Star, are you automatically a hall of famer?

Brandon Ingram is Better than Jayson Tatum... Don’t be Fooled.

Tatum:
16.3 PTS
32.3% TS% (In Isolation)
-37% ISO Drives/24% ISO Jumpers

Ingram:
18.3 PTS
53.2% TS% (In Isolation)
-55% ISO Drives/44% ISO Jumpers
(Only 5 Players In The Entire NBA Draw More Fouls Per Iso Att.)

Yes because the basketball HOF is a joke.

Gosh dammit

Why would they draft a 6'2 shooting guard

No.

>Brad Daugherty
>John Wall

The Lakers are
13-31 Without Lonzo since he’s been drafted.
49-49 With Lonzo since he’s been drafted.

It’s clear as day who is the most important Laker to Winning.

There are 12 eligible 5-time all stars not in the Hall of Fame

several of those are even guys who actually should be in the hall of fame and aren't. Moncrief, Chauncey, Chris Webber. could probably make a case for Marques Johnson.

is Chris Paul the most underrated basketball player in history?

yes.

Rockets have won 7 in a row and have beat the Warriors (Harden didn't even play), Celtics, Raptors, and 76ers in those 7 games. This is their year...

Didn't the whole "his college records, honors, and everything related got vacated from the scandal" hurt his chance to be in the HoF?

>CP3
>Ever underrated

He's pretty appropriately rated as one of the best PGs in the League (apparently the Rockets is 28-1 when he has 10 or more assists this season), the only concern is that his body might not last through that max contract of his since he's already 33

He's not just one of the best PGs in the league, he's one of the best PGs in the history of the league

>Rumors are that LeBron said in January that the players on this team didn't make any sense

It took him till January to realize this?

Why can't you accept they are a bad team? There is no masterstroke at work here. Lebron is old and they suck.

based

Lebron is probably higher Tbh. Yes I'm a lakie fan, but Curry will be seen as needing more help than Lebron. Kd could conceivably pass Steph too.

Lakers ****ed up. If they drafted Fox they would be in the playoffs right now.

Imagine thinking LeBrons fragile ego would willingly miss the playoffs in his first season in the west

They're just shit

Do you think he wins that oscar if he isn't kobe?

>Harden

Nobody cares about the regular season

kobe delivered 5 chips and ran his body to the ground playing hard every night. of course they are gonna gift him an oscar

Oscars are for acting

Curry won a chip without KD, but KD will never win one without Curry

Harden would literally be the raining champion right now if not for running into the historically best team of all time and losing in a close game 7 after his second best player went down

we are going to make the playoffs arent we

Why do you hate Wade and not want him to leave the league with one last playoff berth?

I’m sparks poster and the Lebron hate spammer. I’m sorry for my behavior and for detracting from the conversations here. I think it’s apparent that this place has sufficient spark and enough Lebron hate already.

Because he wants the Heat to tank and rebuild despite knowing full well that Pat Riley has too much pride to do that

How much better would be the Spurs if they had Murray and Pop tried to use Lonnie more?

Imagine Magic Johnson relentlessly pounding his son in the anus while Lebron goes deep in Magic and Lebron gets the pipe from Lance Stephenson while whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Meanwhile Lavar has it all recorded with the young Lakers observing every thrust and violent lunge deep inside the anal cavity. "Now this is a big baller masterpiece" says Lavar as Lonzo's cock is throbbing unable to engage because of his latest injuries so Brandon Ingram gives him a blowjob and swallows

They would be a little better defensively. Murry would probably add a person who would drive to the basket. With Lonnie, Pop just doesn't play rookies. Not sure why, but he doesn't.

Duncan was a center moron

>Even Spurs coach Gregg Popovich seemed to acknowledge the charade on the eve of last year’s playoff series against Utah. When asked who the Spurs would start at center, Popovich said, “Tim Duncan, like we have for the last 15 years.”

>medical joe
ahaha

Yeah but he seems to have made up his mind that he rather be a dad. I totally agree he can play for another couple.

I think the heat will make the playoffs in the next 5 years after wade but it will be a low seed

when was the last time that the East was stronger than the West? has it ever been the case?

And...?

Only player you could argue over fox in his draft class is john collins.
>inb4 tatum

Heat are done after Wade leaves for AT LEAST half a decade. Everyone you have there right now is either on a terrible contract or complete garbage, and you don’t even own all your future draft picks.

other than the established all-star players (aldridge, derozan), the spurs still have one of the more extensive and elaborate offensive playbooks and defensive schemes of the league. it's not easy to slot in there, especially as a clueless teenager.

white looked like nothing special in his first season and now he's arguably their most important (not the best) player this season. murray was a footnote and he's still kinda of a dumbass but his tenacity and perseverance earned him a starter spot and an all-nba defensive second team recognition. forbes may soon enough be one of the best bench scorers in the league. i'm curious about metu.

even if their new-found laissez-faire attitude with all-star caliber guys, they still take their time to instill new kids with what they need to play in the spurs system. even if it takes a season or two going through austin. if they're not up for that, they would not have a place with the spurs to begin with.

every team deals with injuries. If your team can't win games while dealing with being injured then you have a bad team

I mean Lonzo is a good defender and all, but Rondo is still much better than whatever the Suns trout out at point guard. You act like they didn’t lose to tanking teams practically every game

Holy shit ingram is bosh 2.0

obviously they already agreed to less minutes

Tatum can fool a brainlet team like Ingram can't. Even Poppovich was jizzing himself at Tatum's "potential" after that playoff run and the Celtics should have bitten for Kawhi Leonard

They should never trade Horford, the things he does aren’t replicated by AD or most big men in the league, really unique skill set as a big man and he’s much better at PF than center due to rebounding woes especially in the playoffs.

Think they should offer the Kings pick, Brown and Hayward. Repeat the offer with variants including additional picks.

The 76ers are gonna look bad in a few years when Shamet is an all star and Butler and Harris are declining.

16-0

They would need to move up in the seeding. Them against the Warriors might be a sweep.

depends on your definition of tanking. The spurs dynasty existed because they tanked for duncan one year. More recently, the cavs won because they tanked for years which led to an allstar, assets to trade for another allstar, and an environment that led to a superstar wanting to be there. The general premise of tanking is right but it takes a strong organization or luck to do it properly

They're a garbage team. Lebron had the bums sitting at 4th in the west, then when he was injured the "valuable young core" showed how shitty they are and dropped all the way to tenth. Now they're pissy cause Magic spazzed out and tried to get AD

Spurs tanked hard for Tim Duncan, granted they would not have had David Robinson not been injured.

Should have kept RoCo, who gives you the defense Jimmy does with better three point shooting, and moved Dario and filler for Harris while retaining Shamet. It’s wild the 76ers find so many gems and always let them go for nothing, like why did they need to trade Richaun Holmes?

That was in the beginning of the season when the Rockets were bad, the Jazz were bad, the thunder were mediocre and the Kings like 6th or 7th seed

What's wrong with Kyrie? Take some damn shots

Rondo is the best player on the Lakers

Pretty replaceable but yet here we are playing Amir Johnson real life minutes.

Imagine if the Pelicans took that trade package, they’d have a perpetually injured Ball, Ingram who will never play professional basketball again, Kuzma (29 years old) and Josh Hart with some picks that will convey 25th-30th.

Dell Demps saved that organization

That was like halfway through the season and he had them at 4th

then (((They))) fired him

Ah, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the great defender who Marcus fucking Smart can score on the Lakers totally DIDN'T overpay for and cut David Nwaba to pay more for. The great 3 and D player who's shit at both.

Because Boban (who was playing like god) and Embiid got hurt. Shit happens

>first career start
>plays him for 10 straight minutes
why does Luke Walton suck so much fucking ass?

They were closer to the tenth seed then than the 1st

wagner is so cringe the fuck was he doing...

>Dell Demps saved that organization
Why the fuck was he fired for?

Why do the Lakers have a 45 year old man at point?

Being shit at everything else besides fucking with the Lakers

Ball isn't injured. He didn't want to get traded and was the first to give up this season.

Niggas thought Jaylen Brown was gonna be an all star Lmao

You better get used to Lebron stat padding because thats the next four years at least my dude

For this

Why did Detroit sign Bynes and Boban if they were just going to sit them?

Apparently he still can’t run I’ve read earlier. While there’s no doubt in my mind he, or his people, want(s) out of that organization I also think he’s legitimately injury prone at this point.

wut? They were 4th when he was injured

this unironically

he's not winning chips anymore so the only thing he can do is stat pad and get some meme stats like "zomg Lebron is the first player with 44345 points 130884 rebounds 15434 assists and 4234 blocks he's so good!!11

Why Tatum and Jaylen wearing those gay headbands

Stan Van Gundy (the GM) and Stan Van Gundy (the coach) suck ass. Look how good Henry Ellenson has been on the Knicks, a former first round pick Van Gundy selected then elected not to play him with the main team or send him to the G league.

Because SvG didn't know what the fuck he was doing and thanks to him and thibs no coach will ever be gm again

Celtics sign and trade kyrie for AD.

Kyrie isn't the chucker. Rozier is.

>rozier and hayward back to being bums
>al and kyrie being solid
>billions of open 3s getting doinked
good to have my celties back
enjoy your W lakies

lads does Brad have a bit of the 'tism

Oh I see what you mean

Whenever I watch the Celtics play Jayson Tatum looks like shit, when I don’t watch he goes for 20ppg+, what gives?

Remember when Rozier chucked away game 7 last year?

based kobr tricked him into thinking he should be taking contested jumpers and fadeaways instead of open 3s and driving on closeouts to finish at the rim

Tatum is alpha

Can you imagine the build up to him beating Kareem? its gonna be rough

Had Tatum had a 30 point game yet?

If you really like the Celtics, you would stop watching them.play.

He was 0 for 10 but he
whole team was 7-39 from three and scored 79 points. That
is unacceptable.

Celtics should be up by like 40, it’s literally Lebron and G leaguers

Lakers record since Lonzo Ball went down on Jan. 19: 5-13

They fouled the fuck out of Rozier

LBJ isn't 45.

When I was a kid the Celtics played defense

Why are all these teams suddenly regressing on 3 point %? Celtics, Nuggets, Trailblazers, raptors etc they all just started sucking fat dick at the 3

Getting in postseason form

Celtics are ass, this is their rivals who just lost their second leading scorer and best defender.

Dubs decides how Kyrie "I don't like media attention" Irving makes sure his post-game gets on ESPN

kek LeBRICK

feels like hayward does the same thing every possession

i'm taking my talents to NYC

shanks the reporter on the court

I fucking hate this autistic fast pace trend no wonder the Lakers can't get offensive rebounds when 4 guys are on the other side of the court before it coes down

signing with the lakers in the post season

Kyrie really disappears everytime he plays with LeDad.

this

Raptors have been one of the worst three shooting team the entire season.

atl/bkn is lit

Is Kemba Walker elite lads?

He took 3 shots. You should be fined for littering on the internet

Is Trae going off?

Hayward has gotten the ball to the right spot two possessions in a row that Celtics scored on. He’s the only one currently capable of running the offense.

LEAIRBALL

Traps aren't gay

>if the lakers win

"the lakers played better than us. They have a better culture than here in boston. Their guys just have more fun, I know the grass is always greener but it looks like playing in LA would be a lot of fun. "

Correct, you are.

Lebron is fucking done

It's only Shooklyn letting the lead slip

>white American players

fuck off retard

I'm old enough to remember when the Lakers and celtics were good

>kyrie only 4 shots in the half
but y tho

they shouldn't even be called traps. if I was with a woman who I really liked and we went to bed and she pulled out a penis I wouldn't even be mad. If I really liked her I might even suck on her penis and that wouldn't be gay at all

Why is Shaq so big, is that natural?

He finally bought into the Brad system.

do you expect him to iso 20 times a game and take 37 shots or something you mong? Its not 2007 anymore.

Don't worry Yea Forums the C's will break away in the 4th and win by 20. Then you can go right back to hating LA like you always wanted.

So rare to see mook shoot a layup instead of turning a breakaway into some contorted fall away jumper.

the rockets would sweep both of these shit teams

Did your brainlet ass watch the Warriors game

In how many games?

The Rockets would have gone back to back if Kd didn't go to GS

The Pelicans would BTFO out of both of these teams

If KD didn't go there the Rockets wouldn't try to make a superteam to compete

God the hornets piss me off
Why the fuck arent they tanking? Havent they noticed that getting a 9-13 pick every year clearly isnt working?
Theyre probably gonna resign kemba this offseason and drown in mediocrity for the next decade
Name me a more retarded organization in the NBA

so I'm a nbalet, why is lebron not playing?

He's no longer in playoff mode they deactivated him for the season

lakers are tanking bc their team is comprised of lebron and g leaguers

Lakers

Why did the Nets shoot 52 free throws?

His internal air conditioner isn't working.

has anyone said the Knicks yet

Lakers are embracing the tank. Next.

>been watching the NBA for 30 years now
>still don't know shit about F/G percentages or screens or down the lane or any fancy terminology of the game
Be honest, how low is my IQ?

He already classified for the playoffs. They don't need to play him. He'll beat the Warriors in 5 in the wcf

Another team embracing the tank. Next.

They drafted Jordan Hill over Kawhi Leonard

the uh nets

Lebron not playing well anyway

Oh no. The Knicks literally make shit decisions non stop. I dont even want to go thru the details either.

at least 110 because you don't get bogged down in autismo bullshit and just enjoy the game for what it is

JR smith is that you?

Bargina for an unprotected FRP

14 teams passed on Leonard.

Every team makes shitty draft decisions. Im not even a lakers fan, theyre just smart for realizing that their team is ass and tanking is the better option

>The duality of man
I'm going to pat myself on the back and say 110+ then

LeBron is playing in the second half because of muh double digit record streak.

>shot 54 free throws just to beat the Hawks
>Nest

refs run the league

I am being honest if you are just watching your team play, and following the playoffs when you can, it is not that bad.

But if you actively watch a lot of games and go out of your way to see youtube videos or stuff like that and you still can't get the grasp of basic terminology then you should be concerned

The Celtics were just playing with the Lakecucks in the 1st half lmao.

This, we were toying with them

Okay, so I watch all my team's games and sometimes I watch the meme team games for memes (right now I watch the lakers to see them lose and read /nba/'s reaction). I also SOMETIMES watch NBA on TNT and some First Take/Undisputed.

How do you stop Marcus smart?

You gotta be Markeef Smart

>ref literally imagining a travel

why doesn't lebron just go to the rim literally every play of every game?
there's no reason why this shouldn't be an 80 win team

Tatum should sit tonight he looks awful

We just need Kyrie to start shooting

different rule book for players, theres a role players rulebook, star players rulebook and a superstars rulebook

Is Tatum at 0 points?

Caruso is better than Alonzo.

>praising lebron’s effort
>meaningless sprinting

it’s funny they would talk about a player’s worthless attempt at running back and ignore his other 100s of instances of lack of effort

I laugh every day at what LeCaligula is doing to the Lakers but it's annoying seeing Lakers and Lebron OPs

Based boomer Dirk

Just took a big Lonzo, lads

someone please explain to me how this Lakers team looks better with Rondo, Wagner, Caruso and literally who on the floor with lebron than le young core

>charge
What?

I personally do it for the (you)

His number will be retired at staples before leloser

Why can’t Jaylen dribble?

Paul George got fined $25k for criticizing officials last night, so no surprises there

twitter.com/AlexKennedyNBA/status/1104514241703411713

Le young core is shook from AD trade rumors and will probably not recover until Lebron is gone or traded

Be like Mike.

he's literally writing his thesis in his head while he plays, often he has to use his fingers to mimic typing on a keyboard to keep the memory stored for later. This can lead to turnovers.

Those guys play off ball and are willing to run and defend. You can't say that Ingram is willing to focus solely on defense and cut smartly without having to give him the ball to handle. Kuzma is great off ball, but he is mediocre at best on defense. Lonzo is still too pussy to consistently attack the rim because of his FT shooting. Let Lebron and Rondo handle the vast majority of ball handling and everybody else falls in.

25k upfront is large even for average burgers but I think its too small for multimillionaires like Paul George.

At least hit them with 250k, 25k is just chump change for superstars.

What exactly is Rozier good at? Why is he still getting minutes?

>Lebron sits
>lead increase

apologize

>follow the nba
>no one to talk about it IRL
>my family has started hating me for liking a "black people" sport
Do you guys talk to anyone about the nba IRL?

Intangibles

tricking some dumbass team into giving him a boatload of money

When did Rob Lowe buy the lakers?

>Rozero shitting on Lakers

Just find a black dude to talk about it with

I just go up to a random black dude and strike up a conversation about hip hop, soul food, and basketball.

I don't know a single black person where I live

Yup... same shit happened with Kelly Olynyk last year. Some dumb team gave him a lot of money. Same will happen with Morris too. It was going to happen to Shart but he seems to really love playing for the C's so he sacrificed some money

>Do you guys talk to anyone about the nba IRL?

I make fun of NBA with two of my buddies every now and again. It's a garbage product.

must be nice

You might hate me anyway. I'm hispanic and I only live among hispanic and white people.

is that before or after he sucker punch KOs you, steals your wallet and then circles around with his friends stomping on your head

And Gordon Hayward last year

Would you rather have Kevin Garnett or Dirk Nowitzki?

smart was fucking stupid. Should have took that kangz money

Dirk

garnett >>> anyone else you could name

Turn on the trip TanneHill. You know that Olynyk signing was dumb as fuck

The Kings have a lot of guards. He probably thought he would get more minutes on the Cs

I really don't like Bryn Forbes. Every time I hear about how he has a great shooting game, he seems to go 1/7 from the 3 point line afterward

Baynes?

I didn't say it wasn't.Players play well in contract years every year. Most recently people started saying Tobias Harris is underrated when he's playing to get paid

Dirk. 2nd best PF after Timmy.

What about Jordan? Or even prime Lebron?

That Bradley Beal shot tho

He use to get really hot in games, but I haven't seen it in a while.

KG is 90% of Dirk’s scoring but twice as good at passing and defense.

Haygod shooting 80%.

Is Kevin Knox the worst player in the NBA?

Stop chucking Rozier

Brandon Rush was a really cool name

...A highly effecient 3-point shooting teenage point guard averaging 15 PPG.

Hey what’s walugi doing to that Suns fan?

I want to snap your neck

KG would be in goat conversations if he didn't waste the best years of his career in that wasteland. When he finally got to a good team he fucked up his knee and was never quite the same. Precautionary tale for everybody

So the Celtics are a mediocre FA mill?

Brad Stevens can make scrubs look like gold to other teams.

>no more Brinks Truck for IT, he's nothing more but a third banana in Denver's bench
>Jae Crowder is a nobody in Utah
>Kelly Olynyk is a nobody in Miami

Smart made the correct decision to take the Celtics' shekels and stay, he's probably the shittiest starting guard in the league but he's there because Jaylen and Gordon suck at defense.

Now someone will pay Terry Rozier and Marcus Morris $10+ million a year.

just end this boring game already the celtics won and the lakers are ass

theyre the new england patriots of the NBA

Where the fuck did this Jonathan Williamson come from

That was a charge

Lebron needs to avg about 24 pts per game to pass Kareem under his current Laker contract (reg season games only)

Smart is better than whoever starts for the knicks and the Cavs.

That's doable.

8 second violation should be changed to 6

He will, but will never be in the playoffs while in LA.

no that would be the spurs

Where’s Kuzma?

>smart

he can average 24 the next couple of years, but after that I see him dipping to about 20ppg. He'll pass kareem when he goes back to the cavs

Why do people miss Tim Duncan? He was great but so unremarkable you could forget he was on the court

Ankle injury

Would they be bad enough to miss the playoffs for the next three years?

Is this the first time this season the kektics won 3 road games in a row?

My Celties really back. Kyrie bought in to the Brad system and now they're gonna be unstoppable

Lebron needs to stop shooting 3s

Why did Kyrie take that shot

what's wrong with that?

Why? He's just trying whatever he wants at this point.

Why do we shitpost?

Because fuck it

He has a 27 avg this year with all the injuries, so I'm thinking he actually passes Kareem as a Laker

Yeah. Remember when everybody said the Celtics were going to the shitter because they traded Avery Bradley? Where the fuck is that guy? Lmao. Although, I disagree with you about Shart. He is an A+ defensive player. He just need to be paired with a volume shooter PG. He would suck in a lottery team but he is in the right place at the right time.

Should a great player waste his prime years on a bad team because of "loyalty" or should they take their career into their own hands and force a move?

he's not going to play all 82 games each of the next 3 seasons so he's going to have to score more
