Wow I thought the Nuggets fucked up, the pacers, celtics and OKC are all fucking worse
OKC much worse than I thought, doesn't look like my Spurs will be able to exploit them second round, they won't make it that far.

holy shit what
Is this a god dream? no it's westshook on the bench
Why cant OKC do 3's?

you realize OKC still has 1 more game after this to steal back home court, right? We were never even supposed to win game 1 anyway, our entire advantage is that we can win the war of attrition and wear them out over a 7 game series due to their lack of depth.
Okc has no bench either

genuine question /nba/ are you allowed to report this for spam?
It's not that you're losing, it's that you're shooting 35% from the field, PG/WB are a combined 2-13 and the Blazers are shooting 60% from the field. Your team is absolute shit, and have been since the all star break.
Yes.
Genuine question: why would you?
Yeah, he gets banned if you report and doesn't know how to ban evade so always comes back after exactly three days like a complete retard.
absolutely. spamming/flooding.
So your saying that it takes exactly 3 days for his spark-to-flame transformation to transpire!?!
That’s truly fascinating user.
already have and i highly encourage others to do so as well.
>OKC chimping out in a loss
Who would guess?
Westbrook is not good at all, he literally has one move, run super fast down the court and attempt a lay up or pass. Like Giannis but complete shit
Sparky posts nba related shit tho. You guys are just little snowflake lol
you arent fooling anyone
t. sparkspammer
If it's just him saying shit like spark to flames or some other dumb shit like that I don't really care but those long ass power rankings nobody gives a fuck about that make it hard to see the NBA related content that's meant to illicit discussion are annoying. I don't really understand the autism, guess he just likes attention.

You need to take your emotional bias out of the equation user. Just trust the algorithms - it’s what they were designed for lol

No it wasn’t. It’s never the wrong tab for this

hey bros? i scored as many points as kyle lowry did yesterday, just letting you guys know
Do I want to watch the Bucks/Pistons game?
my thundy are d-ing them up. we're one of the top defensive teams in the league
thunder have had a bottom 10 defense since the all star break
Beadle looks so cute.
did you make the same money as kyle lowry yesterday
real “shocker” if true. In all seriousness, sparksshit aside tho, fuck military and anyone else who is asking you to murder your fellow man for a “greater good”.

Pretty spARKtastic post rating you got there. Surely You must be using the Candybread Elite7 or some form of advance algorithms to filter out your biases?..
I honestly think it goes to which ever team starts playing decent, both suck ass right now
Schroeder is wasted on this piece of shit team full of ball hogging retards
Kyrie > Giannis
Giannis can almost consistently score when he wants since he can get to the rim from half court in like 3 steps, kyrie cant
How bad will the WCF be this year? I'm fucking vomiting just thinking of it.
>okc plays perfect defense
>forces portland miss
>get rebound
>immediately chuck the ball instead of running an offensive set
>miss badly
>repeat
untuck his jersey and then say that nigger
Anyone could score like Giannis if they were allowed to commit offensive fouls every play. Kyrie has more skill, Giannis can not even shoot a free throw or meme
It'll get better next round, assuming OKC, Rockets, and Nuggets don't throw their fucking games.
the more I watch this game, the more I realize "superstars" are just picked for their marketability and propped up by refball. The entire league is manufactured, no different from WWE

>does anyone even care about basketball?
Basketball has changed, it's more about team building and player mobility than the product on the floor. The reality is no one cares about the league's predetermined victor but rather the Twitter drama and memes that will ensue with the craaaazy offseason.
Lebron's abysmal Lakers team has illicited more discussion than any playoff matchup to date. This is the NBA today, not dissimilar to the WWE with a focus on cultivating fantasy.
One hour of Apex Legends before the Bucks and Pistons game, bros
that fat fuck TAKES things from the table
reminder OKC traded ennis kanter for Melo
based Blazers
Kanter is better than any player on the OKC roster today, and we got him for the vet minimum after the Knicks couldn't figure out how to use him. He also knows all of Donovan's sets, which haven't changed in years.
This but I'm spending the hour trying to find that ONE LAST GRAFFITI TAG IN GTA SAN ANDREAS
these niggas building something especial in Portland
>griffin: out
new place, same old blake. Bucks in 3
Must be why he grabbed all those rebounds, he was beast
>and we got him for the vet minimum after the Knicks couldn't figure out how to use him.
That's not what happened at all
>barely beat a team shooting 15% from 3, and flopped literally half the game
Anything can happen bro...
Thunder in 5
All west teams do is memechuck
honestly surprised it was close for how abysmal OKC was
why would you risk a franchise player's long term health for a road game in a series where you'll probably get swept anyway
Where's the fat dude chucking threes from? That clip is legit hilarious.
this nigga balled today, they're making the ecf no question about it
They shot 15% from 3 because we put the clamps on them pussy ass niggas
This is the last Piston's playoff appearance for the next twenty decades
If OKC shot 20% from 3 they'd have won by 10 points
Over half their attempts were open according to stats.nba definition
They held Portland under 110, was on pace to be under 100 until obvious foul game and Kanter's ATO uncalled travel
If you think Thunder are shooting 10% an entire series I have a timeshare to sell
OKC in 5, Portland's defense is very poor, allowed tons of open shots with little effort and rely heavily on only 2 players to score 60% of offense with mystery 3rd man game to game.
Same with Nuggets, Spurs can't possibly hold them less than 110 consistently with their poor defense.
>westshook
i told ya
my rapties would bootyblast all these shit teams....
theyre still in the east bruh
wtf i despise the traitor gulen now
Russell Westbrook status?
38/15/7 on 11/16 shooting, 8/12 on threes 95% TS
Can someone calculate what is TS would be if he didn't take that half court heave?
They can, just not in the playoffs.
Different year, same old shit
>Was best player for team and only one shot from being 50%
What is wrong with your brain?
OKC have been playing dogshit for half the season.
These are the worst two NBA playoff teams. Whoever wins will get annihilated in the second round.
my brain is unshook, get ready for the sweep
Who's stat line is this?
>20 points
>balled
They were bailed out by the refs and Indy's bad shooting. Still only put up 84 total points.
bros i been memeing but... will the Thunder actually choke AGAIN?
Think it's Steph
You're dumb enough to let a post ASG stretch out weigh 60+ games and them 5 game win streak to end season?
I'm wondering if you've ever wanted a place in Cabo for the summer, please let me know if you're interested :)
for me, it's IM BOUTTA SHIT ON A NIGGA
I remember when the Pistons were some bad motherfuckers. They had the guy whose body was used to create tv show monsters on the floor then. Now? They suck.
Damn he's better than any white player in history and only three full blacks are ahead of him
They shot poorly because we clamped them
100.2%
>Thunder fans right now
No, they shot poorly because their three best scorers sat on the bench due to (((early foul trouble))). Celtshits were getting rocked in the 1st half.
>14 games after all star week is half the 82 game season
Please tell me this isn't what passes for math in Bongladesh
I'm seeing this everywhere now. How did San Andreas gain a surge in popularity again?
probably some new twitter meme, and besides it's been always very popular
Meme of the month on facebook I guess
A reasonable post on /nba/??????
Fuck you, Spurs Blazers WCF nigga
And the Pacers still went into halftime with a lead
If Nurk wasn't dead I'd say Portland in 5, too close to call atm
You queer motherfuckers ready to watch a real team next?
>incoming blowout
BORING
The Pistons?
It underwent the foretold spark-to-flame transformation in the eye of the public. I think it just boils down to the fact that San Andreas’ spARK is on a different trajectory on social media now. Everyone knows a spark becomes a flame, sure, but San Andreas’ recent sparks have consequentialy altered our perception of what spark-to-flame transformation even is. Hold up! Did we sign off on this!? Is this... sparky..? When a transformation is deemed as unsparky, an impressive flame is rendered no more valuable than the smallest spark because that flame wasn’t meant to be sparked to begin with. That, or maybe San Andreas just sparked a bit too soon and now is having a bit of an afterspark.
based
It wasn't even 14, it was 13 loses of 25 remaining games, 16th best win%, 5 game win streak that included Rockets, only 1% dip overall in 3pt% post-ASB from pre-ASB
Biggest difference is Paul George being injured, but rest of team can be trusted to shoot much better over course of 3-7 games
Why are my Thundies so shit bros? We have two MVPs
I'll make some predictions for the Bucks
>Giannis not trying hard
>Middleton plays like trash
>Lopez overperforms
>Bledsoe plays decently
>Mirotic gets 8 minutes max
PG has never won MVP, is clearly injured, and they still almost won. OKC don't even need league average shooting to beat most teams with their defense
Also many horrible offensive foul calls that refs will evaluate and see how wrong they were, so less TOVs clear up margin better
How much does Portland have left to improve compared to Thunder? I think Thunder are only marginal improvement from tanking this over handedly, Kanter needed career game to finish barely in positive point differential because his defense is so poor. Blazers allowed 20 open 3s and have nothing to brag about on defense but packing the paint well and praying other team misses open shots even worst shooting team's season percentage would knock down enough to be up 20
Paul George will win MVP this year and we lost with two MVPs and a DPOY with Kanter running center
Great time to talk shit, moosefucker
Bronny James tho..
Should I watch the Bucks lose or rewatch Wataten?
WTF IS BLAKE REALLY OUT??????
I hate watching Portland win knowing they have no chance against the GSW
Lol who are their best scorers? Bogdanovic Tyreke and Cory Joseph?
>its an user waits for the bucks to go up by 25+ points and bets on detroit to cover a +20 handicap on live sportsbooks because the bucks will bench their starters and cruise for the 4th quarter episode
keep sleeping on my pisties... you've been warned Yea Forums
You really think my Pisties aren't winning this when Thon knows all of their plays?
He doesn't even know his own age
>my team played like shit, that means they will improve a lot and win the series
The Raptors can't even sweep the disneys man it's gonna be a slow and deep elimination
Imagine losing to Markelle Fultz's team
So how much money did you bros make betting against the Raptors?
If OKC shot their season average 34.8% of their 33 3PA they'd have 18 more points
This is how important 3pt shooting is. Even a marginal improvement changes the entire game, Blazers most likely stop collapsing hard on drives, allow 56% shooting in restricted area since Nurkic injury, 46% when Nurkic was on court.
Much harder to stop OKC drives and finishing, and OKC still shot above 50% from 2 this game
How often is it that they will hit the average of their 82 good and bad games?
The playoff spirit of lelbron is laughing at the raptors
Y'all think Philly can get one back tomorrow?
Just watched the latest Kawhi post-practice interview. He looks calm and composed. He knows the Mickey Mouse team got no chance starting Tuesday. You cowards about to swallow your tongues and witness the power of big dick Raps energy.
Yes, NBA teams don't play one of worst games of entire season 4 times in a row, even most teams like Portland last year, still had great offensive games but completely inept on defense. OKC very much capable on improving offense game to game, defense is 4th in NBA and matches up very well personnel wise with Portland.
If they had better center and SF I'd understand but two undersized guards and poor spot up forwards is better for PG, Ferg, WB, Grant to defend because their switching ability and versatility based on motions and sets
Kawhi literally eats dick
That travel was abysmal. Guy took like 4 steps. I guess the league wants Worstchucker to lose.
The dumbest post in world history ladies in gentleman
Yeah, but I think they end up losing that series. They match up with Brooklyn worse than anyone.
>Paul George will win MVP this year
Lol no
>how often did a team hit their AVERAGE
OH MY GOD HAHAHAHAHA unironic brainlet detected
>Not knowing what average means
I want to breed this
Turner, Collison, and Thad.
Don't blame me because you don't know basketball.
Make my Buckshits/Pisshits game thread or I'm going to make a pro-Socialism post.
>unironically thinking Lowry will score less than 15ppg throughout the series
The Thunder suck dick. The Thunder will shoot poorly, this is no coindence. They have Playoff Pee and Westbitch
By definition at least half their games
You know, an average.... Like seriously these are the people I'm arguing with? Don't even know what an average is?
>Turner, Collison, and Thad.
None of those three are in the top 3 in scoring. It's Oladipo, Bog, and Sabonis.
>Don't blame me because you don't know basketball.
lmao
Look at the damage control Serious crack baby on our hands. Probably eats crayons
Y'all niggas don't know what an average means lmaoooooooooo
I didn't ask that.
my mood more like
Oladipo missed 50% of the season games, you dummy. Sabonis has been shakey post-all star break. Collision is the main facilitator and Turner/Thad combo is key to this series. If those three are out, Pacers are screwed. Don't try to debate this, pleb.
Niggas here don't even know 6th grade math
lmaooooooooooo
FUCK YEAH FUCK YALL HATING HOMOS BLAZE 1 FOR DA LAND
Yea Forums, how fucked am I?
Pretty confident, except I just won $500 so I’m nervous about throwing it all away on this. It’s for the first quarter by the way
You need enough good white roleplayers to be good. That's why Detroit is losing.
Pacers are shit and up against a vastly superior team. That's why they are screwed, not because of some imagined foul trouble for three 10ppg scorers.
>betting on quarter lines
Are you purposefully retarded?
it's a lock this gonna end by 30 point difference
>lopez
lmao how he not kill himself after this performance
Has Thon entered the game?
Make a game thread or I'm making a Lakers edition
Warriors Bucks who you got?
BUCKS/PISTONS
BUCKS/PISTONS

Already in foul trouble lmao
We're in here
>retards not knowing the difference between Mean, Median, and Mode
ya'll fail 6th grade math or something?
cash out now bruv
You cannot statistically shoot lower than your average less than half your games
the bucks are who we thought they were
see you in the finals, steph
you're a fucking retard
Game 1: shoot 100%
game 2: shoot 10%
game 3: shoot 10%
average: shot 40%
shot below average more than half the time
Now do that realistically with 82 instead of 3
pistons are absolute shit, hilarious how fans wanted them to make the playoffs and get blown out rather than get a better pick with that hot garbage that laces up around blake.
OKC is either really hot or really cold, that's the entire point of his post. Their few really good games inflate the average more than the bad games bring it down, but they'll have more bad games than good games.
Bostonians and Canacucks seething seeing the true best team in the East dominating.
even the raptors could beat the pistons without blake griffin
Good post
Fear the Deer
you just KNOW giganiga Drummond will injure Giannis sooner rather than later
HBO leaked Luka as ROTY
GriffGod will come back and destroy your faggot ass team
Does he really not know how to watch it or did they pay him to advertise?
It's an ad
I hope he at least puts him on his ass. Also, so I see they just dont ever call traveling anymore huh because Giannis carries on every drive.
just thinking this
dude walks it down
Based retard can't count to two
how do you think twitter gets money
probably not as popular in europe
he would have to add a disclaimer
if giannis does the impossible and sweeps the warriors in the finals, does that prove LeBum is a Fraud?
there are no elite defenses on either of the teams mentioned
>LeBum is a Fraud
this was proven long ago when kyrie and ray got him his rings
>giannis isn't the mvp
you're right I remember when Ray Allen and Kyrie each got finals MVPs for being the best players on their teams. Shit why didn't they give Scottie Pippen MJ's finals mvps as well?
Scottie Pippen didn't get the ball in crunch time, Michael did. Lebron has no heart
You mean John paxson and Steve Kerr?
will you beat boston doe
so, manu is a better player than duncan?
CANT DISCARD THE KENNARD
So if I compile their game winners they have more than Jordan?
Duncan is a better player than Lebron
They won't. See you there.
Just remembered that george hill was the original shook nigga
yeah but the one argument bron fags always latch onto is that his finals losses are excusable since the warriors are unbeatable anyway. If giannis beats them at full power with KD, they'll have no argument left.
Lebron excels at 4 things: offensive fouls, complaining, getting his buddies contracts, and getting coaches fired
Playoff P deserves as much hate as Lousy and DeFrozen for being a playoff choker.
And being the second best player of all time.
You won't beat my Magic
How surprising. Lebron fans cannot count.
he's not better than wilt, kobe, shaq, duncan, or bird.
maybe you could make an argument for being better than magic/kareem/russell
Kareem had 5 MVPs before Magic stepped foot in the NBA, what exactly did Lebron do besides lose 6 Finals to put him over Reem or Jordan? At his current age both were still winning titles
When the based Warriors inevitably take the title again, is basketball cancelled?
Only if you enjoy a slaughtering
Bravo
>he's not better than kobe
LOL im dying
cant breathe
>fellow brother
No mudslime is a brother of mine
Kareem out here repping the racist milwaukee he left instead of the lakeshits
Levels
Yeah only down by 25 with 1:02 left in the first half
Woah is /nba/ really trying to put Kareem, Shaq, Bird, Kobe, and Duncan over LeBron? Only Jordan has a better basketball player argument over LeBron. So unless you're MJ, put some respect on King James's name.
You think Blake won't get 25 points in the first half?
nobody should be proud to play in California
Have many players lost 6 nba finals as a starter? Asking for a friend
are you retarded my man?
Uhh cool it with the racism please
LeBron James. He's still the second best player ever.
All of those players have more hardware than Lebron. Bird had his Celtics at 61 wins after they only won 29 before drafting him, while Lebron couldn't even make the playoffs.
>the second best player ever
Based on what parametre?
Misleading but accurate statement about Bucks-Pistons first half: Luke Kennard out duels Giannis
Losing noncompetitive Finals
Player ability
I'm serious, the only aspect I see him superior is athleticism
Then you should consider Wilt to best the best, or second best after Jordan
Who has the best chance of beating the Warriors?
Jerry West NBA finals record is even worst then his. Wouldn't he be 2nd best player ever?
Are the rockets playing yet
This, Lebron is lauded due to his stats and athleticism combined with his strength and size. But Wilt lost just as many Finals, was more athletic, bigger, and stronger with way better stats. If he played today he'd be even bigger and stronger given the superior nutrition and training, and would have better stats than Lebron and even more Finals losses.
Why don't Lebron fans ever rate him?
Maybe the Raptors should have gotten the seed that brings them the easiest matchup
What's the most popular sport in Detroit? Judging by the amount of nignogs running around the city, i'd have guessed it was basketball but these niggas suck
Elgin Baylor went 0-8, he's the GOAT
football
Larry bird is the only player on Jordan's level but he had to deal with injuries over half his career because he put his body on the line every night without fear.
in 2012 a 34 year old kobe brought his team from being on the verge of elimination to the 7th seed.
in 2019, with the same record, lebron quit on his team and missed the playoffs
This.
Fuck Lebald. He's not even top 10 all time
Wilt never played in the modern era like Jordan or LeBron
>wh*Toids getting raped by my brothas
sounds like a based city desu
Top 10 all-time in no order:
Jordan
Kareem
Shaq
Wilt
Duncan
Bird
Magic
Russell
Hakeem
Kobe
LeShit isn't better than ANY of these players
celshits gonna win 1 at home but Bucks going to win in 5.
> No Giannis
Typical leaf. Enjoy getting bounced by the nets.
>blake
>playing at all
football or hockey. nobody cares about the pistons here. sports in detroit are so bad most people claim college teams as their top now.
>Nets
The Rapshits will lose in 6 to my Magic.
Wow excellent competitive game between the bucks and pistons
Come on man
You joking? Giannis is amazing but it's a bit early for talk like that.
Ok stop playing, Kobe was never good. He and Lebron directly led to the NBA being shit
Lol just giving leafs shit. Giannis is top 30 at best right now.
Soft ass league with soi fans
Giannis isn't top 100
Are italian players the cutests?
>russell westbrook above hakeem and kobe
>russell westbrook anywhere in your top 10
this has to be a troll
Lol whatever bro.
today i will remind them
youtube.com
He's talking about D'Lo idiot
>beating the worst team in the playoffs without their best player
congrats I guess
Why people give Bargnani so much shit for this? It was obviously a defensive foul.
Because he thought he could actually dunk it from there
the wh*Toid jumped like 5 meters from the rim. He's not MJ.
He could, if they didn't fouled him. Is not that much of a crazy distance.
Id like to watch Luka fuck Emilia
will this be the final straw that forces detroit to get off the treadmill of mediocrity?

Based. LeBron ain't even top 50 all-time.
First of all, slap yourself in the face for saying Kobe is better than Lebron. Wilt and Shaq, maybe if either of them a free throw. Bron is just better than Magic too. And Bird was maybe equally good in his prime but he had a super short prime cause of injuries.
Second, why are we doing this in the middle of the playoffs, save this for the offseason when there's nothing to talk about
you have magic johnson twice
It's one thing to beat them and another thing to blow em out like this
What the fuck are they going to do? They're locked in on Blake and Drummond
That's when he was playing power forward and came out of retirement
you forgot a man thae goes by the name of Kevin Durant
Also Pau Gasol wtf man
Honestly have a lot of respect for any list that has Hal Greer, Dave Cowens, Wes Unseld, and fuckin' Norm Van Lier on it
He had Pervis Ellison and Dave Bing though
just accept it, you're playing checkers and he's playing chess
>would get swepped by the pelicans
Giannis has no argument over any of these players
It's really funny that the Thunder were completely unable to take advantage of Enes Kanter, one of the biggest playoff liabilities in the league.
anyway, get this Detroit shit over with, I wanna watch Utah Houston already, the good game
You can toss out everybody without an MVP.
Respect for Curry so high. Severely under rated player. Where's KD and Paul George tho
>You can toss out everybody without an MVP
Giannis will never win MVP
>The Pistons traded Andre Drummond, Luke Kennard, a 2019 2nd round pick (DET), a 2020 1st round pick (DET), a 2021 1st round pick (DET), and a 2021 2nd round pick (LAL) to the Hawks for Miles Plumlee and a 2019 1st round pick (ATL).
>The Pistons selected Zion Williamson with the 2nd pick in the 2019 draft.
>The Pistons signed Rudy Gay for $1.40M/year through 2020.
>The Pistons signed De'Aaron Fox for $30.00M/year through 2022.
>The Pistons traded Blake Griffin to the Nets for Elfrid Payton.
>The Pistons signed Jamal Murray for $29.80M/year through 2023.
>The Pistons signed Jarrett Allen for $17.55M/year through 2022.
ended up winning a ring 2 seasons later with this core + old ass Lemarcus aldridge, patty mills, and lou williams. All the pistons have to do is unload their bad contracts and rebuild, it's not that hard.
Are you seriously trying to tell me that KD is better than Dan Issel and World B Free
>just trust algorithms
Spoken like a genuine moron. They have human designers dipshit, the bias is clearly still there.
He already won one. He is polling at like 90% on announced media votes.
I stopped reading at the part where the Hawks traded a first for Andre Drummond. Let alone the 2nd pick, let alone the 2nd pick where Zion Williamson was still on the board
you are nuts
Just like Hilarry
Get Detroit off of my screen already!!!!
I know this isn't the point and nobody cares, but people who knew what they were talking about thought it was close. It was a bunch of smoothbrained moron bloggers who ignored the actual evidence and said it was a 90% chance.
This Giannis dominance reminds me of 2007 LeBron
you must be talking about the P.O.R.K.I.E.S. system which is designed by biased humans with no spark. The sparky system is designed entirely by algorithms written by super-computers. Yes the supercomputers were designed by humans, but there's a layer of computer software to prevent the biases from escaping into the algorithms. The S.P.A.R.K.S team of computer software engineers and mathematicians truly thought of everything.
People shit on 2000 draft but never talk about 2002. God what a terrible draft
Only Yao Ming, Amare and Nene worth a shit.
andre drummond + 3 future firsts. zion ended up not being that good in this simulation anyway
Caron Butler and Carlos Boozer were kinda nice
Amare and Nene were shit as well, Boozer, Caron Butler, Tayshaun Prince, Mike Dunleavy, Luis Scola, and Matt Barnes were elite.
the Most Valuable Player is playing tonight.

are yall niggas really autistic or just pretending?
>doubleposting
cringe....
Hard to tell now honestly, if I sit up at the computer and type some stupid shit then giggle when niggas respond I'm pretty sure that's got to make me autistic
nah the other is Larry
so if I'm only pretending to be autistic to get (You)'s then that actually makes me autistic...
this post really made me think...
one is brazillarry the other is brazilgary
I can't get rebounds for shit with a center in these earlier 2k games, if I have a guard I can get double digit rebounds with ease, if not that nigga will concede the rebound every time to a guard or wing like he's Steven Adams. Made my nigga 7'2, rebounder, he literally will not grab boards in his area and they will sunction into teammates
This shit is killing me, don't remember it being this bad
Bro isn't it weird how foreign posters can all speak English? It's like they learned English to post on Yea Forums

Wait what the fuck?
The Lakers didn't make the playoffs?
Weren't they fuckin stacked with Lebron and some other guys? WTF happened?
>Weren't they fuckin stacked
no
Lebron is literally the only good player on the Lakers
ppl learn english, not necessarily to post on Yea Forums
excuse me you're missing 2x champ Javale McGee, DPOY Tyson Chandler, and second overall pick Lonzo Ball
LeBron had a worse team than the 2018 Cavs and that's saying a lot.
AI took a team of scrubs to the finals and won a game.
average doesnt mean half retards
Why did we have to get spoiled by a few nice and close games yesterday
Today's have been garbage. I know the OKC game was close but it wasn't a very good game to watch
Harden is a better passer than Chris Paul at this point in their respective careers and it's beautiful to watch.
no way you faggots will say Harden isn't the MVP after this performance
we literally just saw Giannis burn down a city and dunk from the freethrow line. The trophy is already at his house
harden isnt the mvp
ill say it all day every day
Harden leads Giannis in PER and VORP...
satan is obv harden
who is jesus
and who are the refs?
Is this you?
>3. Tiny Archibald
Based boomer
remember how the raptors sat kawhi multiple times throughout the season because "seeding doesn't matter" and "we just want to be healthy for the playoffs"
looks like their hubris is biting them in the ass now. As the 2 seed they have to face the Orlando Magic, quite possibly the 2nd or 3rd best team in the east while the bucks, as the 1 seed, essentially get a first round bye.
Bet they regret resting kawhi so much and not taking the regular season serious now
Pisstains are garbage and Nuggies are frauds is why.
My Pistons are elite when Blake plays, can't wait to reverse sweep once he's healed up and for you niggas to eat crow
Harden will choke like Chamberlain
LMFAOOOOOOOO HARDEN GETTING BTFO LMFAOOOOOO THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FAGGOT
Actual warrior fan here, wish we had lillard instead of steph
he has 20 points already and his team is up. How is harden in any way "btfo" ?
nah steph is the best shooter of all time
dame isn't even top 10
Two time MVP and greatest shooter of all time, or a guy most famous for complaining about all star nods and All NBA teams
Dame is literally a dollar tree Steph
Thundiebros! We get our first win on Tuesday! Believe it!
Jazzies gonna get swept in 7 :/
the funny thing is, steph was always a poor man's lillard until like 2016 when he ascended into what he is today.
Jesus is Oladipo
>Magic, quite possibly the 2nd or 3rd best team in the east
LOL screencapped for when raps win in 5
respond to this post if your team didn't lose in an embarrassing upset this weekend
this nigga Harden gon be in the jazzies fan's head rent free
Delonte West works at Home Depot, crazy.
that you've got 3 different types of HIV?
anyone notice the rockets entire defense seems to be just smacking and beating the shit out of anyone on the jazz who drives to the rim, and they get away with it every time? Meanwhile if anyone on the jazz looks funny at harden he gets free throws. Insane how unfairly this series is reffed
What went wrong?
Orlando could easily have finished 8th...
I love Dame but I love Steph more
Do God exist?
>Orlando could easily have finished 8th...
yeah but they didn't. call it dumb luck, call it karma, or maybe the basketball gods have a sense of humor, whatever the case the fact is the raptors got matched with the magic after claiming all year that seeding didn't matter.
in what world is this not a travel
streamable.com
What did he mean about rondo?
im not even worried because I know that raptors got dissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
its bad but not that bad
but its bad
fuck EG, he literally just humps dudes over and "forces a turnover"
probably that rondo was starting at the time and he played backup PG to him...
Probably, but why would it care about Palestine enough to be born there
Remember when Delonte was playing power forward 40 minutes a night? Why were the Cavs so ass?
fuck james harden
is it cool to like james harden
Jazz fan needs to take one for the team and hit the players with some hard -ers, get CP3 and a couple of guys fighting in the stands and suspensions. Maybe bring a whip to the stadium
Sparky had a rough day today bros. The Candybread Elite7 is chuggin a long just fine, but I’m feeling a little blue myself.
My GF told me I don’t make her happy anymore. I don’t know where the spark in our relationship went. We used to be so passionate when we were working on “Me problems”. But now that my ratings system is really taking off and all the “me problems” are fading she seems to be just inventing problems bc she’s so use to our relationship being problematic. We faught less when I was in my cocaine sniffing hay days. The sex was better in those days too. I’m beginning to think I might need to move past this stage of my life...
How are Kobe and Wilt above Lebron and Moses Malone retard?
>sniffing coke
Makes sense
What went wrong?
that beard
Harden is fully unlocked, there's no coming back now
too much autism
crackas don't care about our young black men's mental health
Kobe is not an all time team cancer choke artist. He got his problems yea I kno I kno but he’s also a proven champion on the big stage.
WILT is the original LeBron. All of the things LeBron has done, wilt did it better. All the things Lebron sucks at, Wilt sucks at a little less.
Lebron can’t get passed his own ego and so his spark-to-flame transformation if left incredibly dampened. He’s a terrible top ten all time or current. Look what he did to the Lelkers!
pop is the greatest coach of all time, any sport, any decade, any continent
Nah, Bellimeme is better, way harder to win in the NFL
Sparky take user. I’m curious as to what rating engine your running for your Coach Sp. results?
Pop is GOAT by a long shot.
who else here falls under pressure
not true. he hurted kowhi lenards feelings
>harder to win in the NFL
Stopped reading there. Get your sparks straight user
bruh if we lose tomorrow or this series Kawhi is as good as GONE
Fuck the raptor I'm a knicks fan now (when we get KD and Kyrie)
"MY RAPTORS always play like the CAPTORS game 1, listen, we're not that bad man. YeaH we traded our most loyal star for Kawhi, but it was a great goodbye... say hi to lebron for me DeRozan. No emotions no devotion, please don't leave Kawhi"

Will be the rockets vs the warriors. The rest of the league is still a joke.
tim duncan also has extremely low IQ. he let himself get swindled out of millions by one of his managers, and also his wife cheated on him and took over half. I can't accept him having a high BBIQ when off the court he seems to be some sort of idiot, seems to me like he was just another big dumb ape who listened to Pop's orders.
say what you will about bron, but he has never been a beta when it comes to business decisions and money management, so I can believe his high BBIQ is all his own...
The Memeiors went 10-55(.153) against the Spurs during Duncan's career lel
If Kemba is so good why was he on the worst team in history?
Pretty sure Duncan is deep in the closet
What about bill Russel
I have him 93rd
This man is the heart and soul of the Raptors. regardless of what your preconceives notions and headline-mislead consciousness suggests, he is a once in a lifetime human, and a damn fine NBA player. And this is his season. Speak down upon his namesake now, I only ask that you never forget your ill advised sentiments once he is crowned Finals MVP.
Too high.
I remember when the Cavs beat my celties like 100-0 in the first half that one year, but now they're in shambles again, lmao. Thats what you get for mocking my Celties.
And he’s a loser. Just like T-Mac, Derozan and Vince Carter before him. That’s why Kawhi wants to leave. He doesn’t want to be associated with a loser franchise
>This man is the heart and soul of the Raptors.

Actually serious - I get goosebumps watching Giannis's season highlights. He has had such an incredible year. The exciting jaw dropping athletic finesse he possesses is out of this world. When you look at the many insane athletes this league has seen, Vince Carter, Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Derrick Rose, Giannis could be rated higher than some of those guys. I really hope the Bucks continue to dominate throughout the playoffs. It would really be nice to see Giannis have a breakout moment.
