>clutch win
teams that lose nearly three times as many games as they win and aren't playing for shit don't have clutch wins. Besides that though, its a good line and Im glad he's doing better. At the beginning of the season he looked like he had no business on an nba court.

He's becoming very efficient. I believe in the past 6 games he has had over 22 points on over 50 ts%

Can someone post the Kobe or MJ "No Defense" compilation?

Reminder than lebitch couldn't even defeat Dirk and Tyson Chandler in the finals

Reminder Lebron fans revise history to make it seem as though the Mavericks were historically stacked and the Heat weren’t a super team, despite the fact Vegas favored the Heat going into the series.

Dirk is the goat

Meanwhile Kober gets swept being a heavier favorite and without 2-3-2 rules that wouldn't matter anyway because he got swept but he raped a chick and was upset about the trial so it's okay

Tyson Chandler is so underrated though.

Hot take: Lebron will pull an MJ and retire for a couple seasons after this one

Lebron ain't even better than Duncan

Fuck LeBron for being a millennial bitch. Fuck LeBron for fucking up the NBA and having Adam Silver's mouth wrapped firmly around his cock. Fuck LeBron for not being a man and blaming everyone else but himself. Fuck LeBron and his shitty entitled attitude and muh "Chosen One."

Fuck LeBron and his bullshit TV shows and Hollyshit productions. He was born to play basketball, not make faggot TV shows. Fuck LeBron for giving up like a mental midget when he has all the talent in the world. Fuck him for destroying the league with muh super teams, and fuck him for pouting and talking shit about politics when he can't even win championships. Fuck LeBron and all the fake community bullshit he does in Akron when he is supposed to focus on basketball.

Fuck AIDS Magic Johnson for fucking up the Lakers even more and being as shortsighted in planning for Lakers trades as she was not wearing rubbers and getting AIDS.

How dumb is the Buss family handing over basketball operations to a guy who got AIDS? All Magic AIDS Johnson does is laugh and go "hahahaha" like a dumb AIDSfag. They'd be better off with an autist like Kobe to run basketball operations than an AIDS patient.

Fuck Luke Walton, too. He got the coaching join because of his daddy. Fuck the cancer that is LeBron. Fuck the AIDS in Magic Johnson's blood. Fuck the entire Buss family and fuck the Lakers. Fuck LeBron and his TV shows, fuck everything related to LeBron, the Lakers and Hollyshit. The Lakers, Magic and LeBron are literally pozzed.

Nobody knows. Either crab meat or the yips. I saw some sports journo imply he trashed his shoulder on an ATV and he's covering it up so he doesn't have to pay back his contract. I've seen people blame his agent Raymond Brothers because apparently the dude is fucking his mother and treats Fultz like a son not a client. I saw his trainer say there's nothing wrong with him and that it's all in his head. He came out with some shit about having thoracic outlet syndrome, which is one of those diagnoses you can't prove in court like chronic fatigue syndrome or those comas refugee children fall into when Sweden tries to deport their families. The whole things a giant mystery/mess and it's been going on for like two fucking years. Idk why Orlando took on his contract. Burning money.

Lakers? More like lolkers

indeed

Went to the Celtics v. Nugs last night. I thought the IT tribute was gonna be cringe, but it was actually really nice, and the Nugs played him for longer than usual.

Also, Jokic is hilarious to watch. He looks slow and plodding, but he's always in the right place, his outside shots are scary, and he's a monster rebounder. I think he might be my new favorite player outside the Celtics

reminder that the warriors are trash and a second round exit carry on

I have to figure he only took this job to better position himself to be a movie producer and community organizer after he retires from basketball.

He's unlike Tom Cruise in that he's a community organizer and a basketball player, but he's like Tom Cruise in that he's just phoning in the late-stage career moves. I don't mean Fallout, I mean The Mummy and Top Gun 2. Just a paycheck.

Celtics are not an elite basketball team. Only .500 on the road and are 15-19 against teams above .500. They are total frauds and will be promptly bounced in the first round by Indiana.

There are only 3 stats that matter when predicting how a team will do in the playoffs:

1. Collective playoff experience of the team’s players. If your team has no significant playoff experience they will get bounced easily.
2. Home vs Away record, teams that suck on the road get bounced in the playoffs.
3. Wins against teams above .500. If you don’t have a record against above .500 teams you’re getting bounced in the playoffs.

I'll say this, it was impressive that that team beat the Warriors that year. Everything changed when Draymond got suspended, cause the Cavs had no business winning that series. It was an equal amount of Warriors choke and Cavs winning.

A team full of 4 bench players + Lebron made the finals out of the East like literally every year, so yes.

Only the 2007 Cavs team was full of bench players.

I think you could make the argument that the Heat teams were not *completely* full of bench players, I mean obviously Wade isn't, but every single Cavs team, yes. They're a small-market team, they couldn't afford anyone but Lebron.

Even Kyrie would be riding the bench on a West team, fight me.

Just for the sake of what ifs, how would /NBA/ react to Jackson taking over the Lolkers?

the Triangle requires a five man team, and every Lebron team ever has been Lebron + 4 personal assistants.

It would not go well, but to answer your question, "how would /nba/ react" = Dank Memes.

She must be a first born sibling and have self esteem issues. Put it in her butt.

Those Bulls teams were as stacked as you think they were and they ran the Triangle.

First borns are always better looking because the mother is younger and is healthier when they’re born. Younger siblings are uglier because they’re coming out of a used womb.

No. She's just some dumb white bitch who just reads a script. Her show is garbage and panders to dumb shits.

pretty sure the Spurs literally send out surveys to potential players. only the nigs who aren't obsessed with scoring 45ppg are the ones who seem to be able to tame their ego and play in a winnable kino system like Pop's

It's not just who they draft, the Spurs use the D-League a lot. Rookie players pretty much play there all season to help get use to the NBA. The Spurs do call them up for some regular season games, but they almost never get any playing time unless it's a blowout.

Here's another hot take: if you needed handchecks and get physical to play defense you fucking sucked at defense

dunno who you're quoting there but yes, PG has better handles pacing and clutchness

I doubt you’ve watched Kawhi or PG play a single game in your life if you unironically believe that, but I recognize it’s a dumb hot take so I know that you don’t

they are top 1 without kd

On nba.com it doesnt even give detail.
For the 2005 handchecking rules it just says this.....

It literally just means if you play defense too effectively then its a foul.

I think the man is truly lonely and just wants to lend free knowledge to a developing team. He is humble as hell.

Nobody "deserves" a ring.

>perceived frontrunners for the lakers' coaching job are Ty Lou, Mark Jackson, and Jason Kidd

my idea is that when illegal defense was eliminated, it was what made scoring harder, and handchecking is just the flashy think people fixate on
like, a ton of stars were asked about what rule they would change and they said illegal defense, stars couldnt score as easy when they had half a team slumping off their guys to play help against the superstar

this isnt the nfl you fag

>Spurs were at 8th seed close to being out of playoffs

And that literally means if you play defense too well then its illegal.

You don't believe that with a strong enough legacy, a player can arguable "deserve" a ring? For perspective, Iverson has no ring but jaja does. Obviously I'm not advocating for certain players to just be awarded a ring because they're all time greats. But you know what I mean.

DeThawed DeChosen

I see what you mean, but I dont think of it like that. I think you deserve a ring if you actually earn it. I dont think Iverson deserves a ring because he's never earned one. Vince most definitely doesn't deserve a ring cause he's never been a caliber of a player to win a championship.

The 4-8th seeds in the west are (were?) like 2 games apart. The current 4-8 could be entirely jumbled by the time the playoffs start.

if jordan had less rings he would have been known as THE worst teammate in the nba of all time
people call lebron toxic cause he makes insignificant small asides on social media or w/e while jordan literally ringled the teamwide bullying of Bill Cartwright and then Kwame Brown

Feel you. So you'd never be in agreement with people saying KD's rings have an asterisk next to them

I miss Murray

>KD's rings have an asterisk next to them
anyone who says this is a scrub with a loser mentality. KD don't give a fuck about your feelings. He's after rings and money. fuck you losers.

>KD don't give a fuck about your feelings.
wasn't KD literally caught bullying 13 y/os on instagram?

Ty Lue has routinely outcoached Brad Stevens and Dwayne Casey. He also won a ring against the 73 win Warriors as headcoach from a 1-3 deficit. Not only that, he coached the 2017 Cavs who have the highest playoff offensive rating in NBA history.

Ty Lue is an awful regular season and player developmental coach, but when it comes to utilizing veteran talent in playoff situations, he knows exactly what rotations to use, what matchups work well (TT-Horford matchups were glorious under Ty Lue), and what plays to run in a 4 minute game. Not only that, arguably his greatest coaching skill is player ego management which is 70% of what NBA coaching actually is. He is an extremely player-friendly coach which is why those Cavs teams loved him over David Blatt. He managed to have an anti-social minded Kyrie mesh and perform well in a locker room full of veteran extroverts like Richard Jefferson, JR Smith, Channing Frye, and LeBron James.

You have just been redpilled on Ty Lue. People like to hate on him because he looks like a fish on Xanax, but the man deserves a lot more respect.

yea on burner accounts

He also got mad disrespected by Iverson

KD wasn't dissing no 13 year olds on ig. i was just setting the record straight. KD is an all time great and the disrespect he receives is gross. it makes him sick I can only imagine.

If he was so good why did the Cavs fire him immediately after the season started
He was just a puppet for Lebron, come on now

sup KD.

I think KD actually deserves the rings because he was the best player on those championship teams. Then again, these Warriors + KD teams are such an outlier when it comes to their place in NBA history. We haven't seen a team that mega OP up until this point. So in a way, yes those rings do have an asterisk, but regardless he was still the best player on the team that won the ring.

At the end of the day the ball has to drop through the basket. You dont win by missing shots. Plus if the league would've let the boys play in 2016 and dubs win like they should have KD wouldn't have left they blew a 3-1 lead too and were just a offseason move away from a title. If it wasn't for Chalmers and Miller hitting clutch 3's for Miami the Thunder would have won it all in 2012 but I digress. "Asterisks and deserved rings" like the shit shoveled at the Kings in 2002 and the Suns in 2007? Sacramento deserved at shot the Nets for the title and Steve Nash & Co. got fucked over hard.

Cont.
The 2016 Finals should've ended in 5 overall but if it wasn't for Kyrie the Cavs lose.

So are 2 out of 30 not frauds? You have a very idiotic, liberal definition of fraud

Not really seeing as only 2 can make it to the finals, dipshit.

White knows how to cut to the basket and move around without the ball. He'said also one of the few Spurs players that is willing to consistently attack the basket. He has stepped up huge for the Spurs this season.

It's true the 80s, 90s and 2000s were filled with ugly iso ball. Modern game planning on an average team today, let's say the Pacers, would dominate a lot of "talented" teams of those eras.

You put an average penetrator in today's NBAon a consistent 6-9 seed in the 90's, and they look like a damn superstar

zone defense would get rekt in this meme chuck era

Zone defense already gets rekt in this era.

Look at LeBron in the 2011 finals. A zone defense stumped him. He had to adapt after that series to use his teammates. Makes you think guys like Kobe, Jordan, and KG only saw the game in a streetball 1 on 1 way.

its been good

>that bucks fan screaming during laker free throws
kek

they're talking more about the shading that used to be illegal more than full blown zone. Hardly anybody plays full blown zone except in a few matchups but everybody shades and don't stick to their guys offball like glue like they had to in the eras of illegal defense

>appreciate guys like Westbrook, bron and Simmons
yeah i really appreciate these sub 30% shooters

That fucker was doing that against the sixers too.

A lot of teams have been partially using zone this season. If you run a zone set on Houston for a couple of possessions, it would stop them from running pick and rolls, which as a result, would stop harden from isoing.

i run zone defense in my 5 on 5 pickup games. no point in playing man defense when the best strat is just to sprint and cherry pick as soon as they shoot the ball

Effective man defense is illegal and against the rules. Might as well just hang back in zone and rest up for offense.

The point of zone in 2019 nba isn't to utilize it for a full game, that would be suicide and ripped apart. It is used as a short term tool to throw offenses off and make them uncomfortable. It works and can buy your team quick transition points.

They tanked for 20 years to get Simmons and Emiid. Not really worth it.

No that was the year they took Ben Simmons.

Back in 1940 Sam Hinkie embarked on the boldest tank in league history

someone posted it earlier, but it's worth repeating:

average scoring per game was 100 or below from 1995-2015.

avg was between 100-110 from 1971-1994

avg was over 110 from 1959-1970.

defense was the very worst when MJ was playing, and the toughest since LeBron entered the league and there's nothing you faggots can say that will change that.

why are teams allowed to just tank 3 or 4 consecutive seasons?

why are the fans even ok with this? aren't 76ers supposed to be the best fans in the usa or something?

I wish the Hornets got more bullshit fouls called their way.
Jermey Lamb has 26 pts and 11 boards.
Hornets down 2 with 8.2 seconds left.

Hornets got refballed every game against 76ers this year. All the games were close.

Hornets finna take the lead with 3.9 seconds left

Yeah, never should have rebranded as the lame ass bobcats either.

NBA refs are so fucking bad, it's unbelievable.

the refs did everything in their power to help them win this game. Not their fault that the hornets suck

No one wants to coach the Lakers because the front office is silly and hires people who aren't actually coaches but people who played for them a million years ago

God damn that was a nail biter. GG charlotte. no re.

Yeah Lamb just lost this one for us. Kemba has been off since All Star game.

HARD3N

Weren't the Hornets still a name in use at the time? Also, what an insane owner, having a team named after you

Jeremy lamb is bitch made lol

New Orleans were using the Hornets brand at the time.
Bobcats was still stupid.
No one got that they were named after the owner.

Oh that hurts. that was more in than out and just got a bad bounce. GG to any Hornetbros

You're finna 'bout to show your stupidity.

So did Malik Monk just die or is he going to be one of those guys that blows up when he gets to a new team

name a better big 4

I hope they dont sign him again.
Honestly wouldnt mind seeing Kemba walk at this point. Hes pushing 30 so it probably wont be worth some massive multi year max deal.

A rebuild focused on Bridges, Monk, and Hernangomez would be in order.

based redick entering his prime at the age of 34

sixers are getting btfo tomorrow doe

How Barry Bonds like of him

He’s never going to be good, but he’s not bad enough to be shelved so long

He'll blow up on a good team.
Right now his defense is so bad its a liability. He will get more time once they are officially out of the playoffs

maybe by your mom in the locker room at halftime

Literally nobody ever has said at any time that the Magic are a well run organization

keep booing atlanta

You kidding? They were praised for "Building the right way" from 2014-2018

Magic still havent lived down fumbling Shaq away.

The magic were getting a bit of hype at the beginning of the season but they faded like they always do. Still might scape out the 8th seed

That core reminds me a lot of when the sixers thought MCW and Noel were their future.

Protip: you don't center your rebuild around role players.

The refs missed a crucial push in the back on the rebound that led to the 76s going up by 4 late. The ref was right there.

I have never heard that in my life, they’ve been too horrible to make the playoffs and too good to get a pick of any meaning forever. Their best two picks were squandered on Elfrid Payton and Victor Oladipo

Get rocked Wager

I can't

Lakers are so shit

>Protip: you don't center your rebuild around role players.

Hall of Fame tip: the "stars" arent getting you into the playoffs.
You rebuild around peices you want to keep. You certainly dont rebuild by maxing out stars that couldnt get you in the playoffs on the previous build.

Why my lakies getting pooped on?

I'm kind of sad that JJ missed out on the triple double

>missed

refs run the league

I have never seen a team as horrible as the Lakers in my lifetime.

Harden now has 30 against every team in the NBA.

...

30 free throws?
