>letting yourself being shut down by a guy that can only reach your waist
KD should've spent some time in the gym. Beverly wouldn't be able to bully strong guys like Kawhi or Lebron but KD is a stick so he can't create separation one on one. Plus he doesn't have great feet work, like Kobe had, which is essential to get the best of a good on ball defender.
Reminder that KD played like garbage against Houston last year and was one of the reasons it got to 7 games. Trade his ass, get again a deep bench and let Curry/Thompson do their thing. KD was a bad matchup for Cleveland but other than that, GS looks gimped compared to when they had no KD there.

Beverley*

This. Trade KD for Marcus Morris, Theis, and Yabusele.

Let's be real
Anthony Davis doesn't really give you anything that Al Horford doesn't already do, plus he's a better shooter.

Yeah, anthony davis by himself can put up alot of points by himself, but what can he do in a team like the celtics to make them better?

They are playing against a top 3 defensive team, sweetie. They'll rape the Cucks in the 2nd round

Isn't OKC up there? And yet Portland is raping them. The Pacers are ass and no contender would go 8 minutes without scoring

I probably should have mentioned Utah. Top defense in the west gave up 240 combined points in G1 and G2. It doesn't matter how many points the Pacers allowed in the regular season. Top defenses are being exposed but the Pacers' still looks strong because of Celtics incompetence.

Not a very nice way to talk about Ricky Rubio

Because if they did, Adidas and all his other contractors would come calling the NBA asking why their golden goose is only scoring 5 points a game.

It's sad the one year Kyrie is healthy he is gonna get bounced in 2nd round to Giannnis' career year with a great coach :(

So.... when can i expect CP3 to get injured?

I can definitely get behind his exploitation of how the rules allow you to "collect" the ball at just the right time to hit a three step move, but there is absolutely no amount of mental gymnastics that should permit this. That is 4 countable steps minimum, and that ref had a good enough angle to see where he collected. The league needs to review this type of footage on a weekly or monthly basis and if a ref misses x amount of calls, they need to be relieved of their duties.

Ben Simmons is a fraud.

Looking forward to another 7 game series with the Celtics to be honest. Bucks vs. Celtics games are always exciting and usually end in nail biters. Probably going to be the best series in the Eastern conference.

Canada isn't a real place

it was a nail biter when the bucks wee just 5 nigs playing streetball with at least 5 of the bucks' rotation players having the worst stretch of games in their respective careers and boston still needed refball. Bucks in 5

I thought harden could’ve closed the warriors out game 5.

Enjoy playing a warriors team “again” that’s now pissed off that the league isn’t protecting them from midgets like Beverly

KD's problem is that he's a beta bitch even though he's one of the most talented players in the world.

Vince Carter telling Kawhi to stay was the most kino moment of the regular season

They get more refball than any team in recent memory(probably more than any team in NBA history).

>Having a Retarded Al Hofford shit himself against TRISTAN FUCKING THOMPSON

And yet they’re stilling crying so imagine their indignation carrying over to smash a rockets team that need harden to not pull a solid snake and ghost the fuck outta there to even stand a chance.

Or maybe Cp3 gods god mode all of a sudden.

Memeiors are a statpadding paper tiger that tend to fold whenever teams play tough, playoff-style defense and force them to execute in the halfcourt. Too bad the NBA tends to rig games in their favor whenever they're losing by too much. We'll see I guess

cp3 has the biggest brain in the league. Without him Houston is just a bunch of retarded niggers spamming poorly set up 3s with reckless abandon come playoff time

Houston is really gonna sweep Utah man....come on. Even my Clippies got a game on GS.

He is one of the best but his legacy was hampered by being managed by a shitty Cavs organization for the first 7 years of his career. The first time he was in the finals with actual pressure he choked. But consistently from 2009 onwards he has been the best player in the league. Probably the most high IQ player the league has seen that people don't like to give him credit for.

Lakie fans obviously exempt*

I said it to him because of his flag. If you like the Warriors hey, its easy to do since theyre winning. Once they inevitably fall off, their nu-fans will abandon them and slurp the cock of whoever is establishing the next “dynasty” at that time. I believe in staying loyal to your team even in the face of adversity. Also, most Warriors fans are mean spirited, arrogant, condescending and totally ignorant of the sport as a whole, they literally only see memechucking and nothing else. Theyre literally and metaphorically children. Sure its fun to watch but the arrogance on their part is so cringeworthy. Same goes for the team, disgusting levels of arrogance.

Lebron is a top 5 player all time. No debate unless you’re really that angry over someone that took control of his own life instead of being Dan Gilbert’s toy. It’s

I believe a lot of things went against him though. Dan Gilbert, Dwades decline after 2006, golden state becoming unbeatable with KD’s move. I also think he’s got his flaws. His style of basketball is frustrating to watch and he overthinks himself out of games. It’s also the type of style that doesn’t look pretty when you act passive aggressive about it too.

Lebron stans at the very are the worse part about him but they’re not Kobe Stan levels of bad so I guess that’s a plus

The Cavs drafted LeBron James, Kyrie, Tristan Thompson, and traded Wiggins for Kevin Love. They missed on Bennett. They went to 4 straight finals and won a ring.

They’re not playing today

>cavs drafted 3 no brainers, the biggest bust of all time, and tristan thompson

the only reason the cavs were ever relevant was because Lerbon was born close to cleveland. It's a shame that he denied us the kyrie, waiters, wiggins, bennet, thompson team. That would have been good for many laughs

I don't trust any of those fancy mathematical rating engines. They can capture averages and tendencies, but never foretell the singular event. Vague gut feelings and contrarianism are the only credible sources of predictions. Join the Church of the Hot Take.

you are right about 2k though that game fucking sucks

What I find funny about the nerds that play around with the numbers is that people use the numbers to prop Jordan as the goat but then with certain players, they say the numbers don’t matter and Jordan was better because “ when you watched him, you know he’s the GOAT.
I just don’t get this sort of 1 way avenue thinking people get into. Same when you argue era. apparently no ones allowed to question Jordan’s era of basketball but every other era of the NBA is constantly weighed against Jordan’s. I just don’t fucking get it It’s all just meaningless

Even so, the spiciest hot takes that defy logic and opinions altogether seem to revolve around Kobe

Kobe>Mj

Only Memeior fans are autistic enough to concoct those things.

And for all their fancy number-crunching they don't seem to be able to put aside certain biases (ooga booga LeBron bad because he beats my team) that are so egregious that it calls the credibility of the entire system into question desu

this is my hot take, rockets in 5 and celtics in 4

All smoke and mirrors, my leafy brother. I just want to funpost, mock accomplished athletes when they have a bad game and shit on Westbrick.

what happen to all the westbrick posters?

I love Nba Live's create a player but holy shit the LUT mode is absolute shit in live 19 compared to live 18. It's not even funny how much EA abandoned putting in any effort into LUT. There were some amazing and fun cards in LUT 18. It made me so disappointed in live 19.
Franchise/team management modes have always been essential in sports games. From NBA Live's season mode and Championship Manager in the 90s, to today's My League/GM and PES's Master League, there are millions of people that prefer and have grown up with this type of mode.

If EA thinks that they can win the market back only with The One, they are badly mistaken. People have been complaining all year about the atrocious Franchise, not about wanting more basketball courts. EA often seems so out of touch with their playerbase.

Maybe they should rename it to NBA Street, so that we adjust our expectations and not hope for a playable Franchise this year.

Spin it however you like. Lebron somehow made the Lakers even worse than last year. Lebron was swept in the Finals last year after throwing a tantrum and hurting his little finger. He’s been carried thru his major successes by players who have the spark (Irving, Allen, Wade). He is a complete fraud that has been exposed. Locker room cancer. Media cancer. NBA cancer. Media hyped trash. Damp and sparkless. LeFraud will likely not see the /sPARKY’s Top 10 again.

Get in here lads

Butler is overrated trash, nowhere near good enough to be a first option on offense yet he acts like he’s fucking Jordan

Just a shit version of Paul George can’t believe it was actually a debate when the season started

The Greg Monroe experiment failed. Just play Boban the rest of the game.

but he'll die

14 15 year vet paying dividends

they should try simmons at point-center with Embiid out and just run like Redick/Butler/Harris/Scott around him.

Why are Nets fans booing Simmons? Did he say something like fuck brooklyn?

what the heck? greg monroe is on the 76ers? kinda funny how brooklyn waived him

*Kenard's your path*

he laughed at allen getting elbowed and called dudley a literal who

who?

Brooklyn are the good guys even if 76ers have AAAAANWUUUUNNNN

Greg Monroe is not good at all. The sixers would be up 20+ right now if Embiid was in.

get monroe off the fucking court

That is so obvious a travel. He is literally stepping back twice.

reminder that no matter how many rings the warriors win with a meme 4 all-star lineup, it will will never change the fact that they went up 3-1 in the NBA finals as heavy favorites and as the best regular season team ever, only to become the first and only team to blow a 3-1 finals lead

What am I supposed to gather from this?

Ya Curry you are the greatest shooter of all time, but remember that ONE time?

"I'm Kevin Durant, y'all know who i am"

what did he mean by this?

I remember how he has never carried his team throughout the playoffs in his entire career

What does that even mean? Vague bullshit.

he was trying to explain to them he had 4 burner phones ready on the downlow

>there's people in this thread that seriously think Lebron is better than Bird

That is because his average play expectation is what is considered "carrying" a team for 90% of the players in the league

that he's a fake tough guy who in reality is a mental midget
