Yea seriously! Everyone has been talking about this historical day when sparks BTFO Larry, and I’m fed up with hearing about it too!

...And to make matters worse people are still constantly bullying Larry by replying to the image with
>rent free
...(In an attempt to make fun of Larry for losing his job and apartment and being forced to live at the Salvation Army until he pulls himself out of his drunken depression. Everyone already knows all of this and it doesn’t need repeating!)

Sounds like someone’s not acclimating too well to the /spARKY new age. It’s no surprise that a lot of people are still uneducated about just how amazing this new rating technology really is! Perhaps a quick rundown of the history of sparks will help you to acclimate more comfortably to this new age. You see, S.P.A.R.K.S. came about during the sparky revolution when a new way of thinking about sparks swept through the NBA like wildfire. Now top NBA analysts are using the new Candybread Elite7 to formulate the problem of how sparks ignite to flames in actual concrete mathematical terms for the firsttime. And while the problem of how sparks came to be in the NBA is far from being solved, it is finally being formulated mathematically as a set of problems that analysts, players and fans can understand, explore and discuss.

The highly advanced particular properties of sparks might arise from the natural laws governing our individual sparkyness. And it explains how these properties allow us to reason about the sparks which might actually exploit the very nature of our reality. Is the world around us as sparky as it actually appears? Or maybe sparky actually introduces a new age in accurate team and player rating. If it is a new age, it’s a bold age, it’s a different age, it’s a spARKy age!

So, you may be asking yourself, how do we cope with this sparky new age after growing up in a mostly sparkless society? We’ve been conditioned our entire lives to avoid sparky situations but then we are given countless examples in the /spARKY news updates of sparky teams and players that dared to ask what happens when you seek out the sparkiest path and take destiny by the hand. You too can choose to take this path, and, with destiny in your hands (and a bit of spark too), comfortably acclimate to this sparky new age.

just took a very small celtics lads

/spARKY news update as well as /spARKY’s overall sp. rating stat tracking are free services provided by S.P.A.R.K.S. to the benefit of the community. News and stats are based on the most up-to-date information and all predictions or inferences are meticulously run through the Candybread Elite7 engine before publishing.

You’re welcome to use other rating systems if you’d like but a word of advice, I’d stay away from P.O.R.K.I.E.S. or any rating system still running on the outdated LarryLOAF Pro2.4 engine. It’s just not reliable data at this point.

Also, please keep in mind that S.P.A.R.K.S. rating system accurately takes ALL factors into consideration. taking a step back and going from the micro to the macro, we can see individual players for their true inner spark, showing the true nature of each player’s spark-to-flame transformion.
I guess you could say we’re all on our own journy, striving to be better versions of ourselves, by leaving our biases out of it and trusting in the system’s algorithms.

It is possible that you’re overreacting a bit to the cultural impact of the sparky revolution, user. I also feel the need to remind you that you are in no way obligated to read or view these posts. You may not agree with the algorithms’ results, but I will again remind you that the Candybread Elite7 has been proven time and again to be the most reliable rating system to date. They don’t call it “the philosopher’s rating engine” for nothin’.. But I suppose you are just one of the many anons to be duped into trusting P.O.R.K.I.E.S, or maybe you even bought into that “”””upgraded”””” LarryLOAF Pro2.4 propaganda. Word to the wise, those engines’ ratings lists are compiled using properties which either attempt to mirror the Candybread Elite7’s algorithms, or interface directly with a version of our software, however, it should be noted that the S.P.A.R.K.S. has been praised for their optimization of this current technology, and their ability to fine tune the scoring engine, resulting in a more accurate ordering than L.O.A.F. or P.O.R.K.I.E.S.

>isn’t familiar with the most technologically advanced, well calibrated rating engine to date

From their official page:

>The S.P.A.R.K. rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill level and chance of future success of each team in the NBA. The S.P.A.R.K. system was originally invented as an improved rating system allowing a more accurate predictably of outcome for the NBA regular season, playoff and finals games.

>The system rates and splits each team into well defined categories based on an advanced algorithm which takes into consideration a variety of factors. The difference in the ratings between each team serves as a predictor of the outcome of a future match. A team’s specific S.P.A.R.K. rating is represented by their current category and position within their category. This position increases or decreases depending on the outcome of games as the season progresses.

>Factors which are taken into consideration in the S.P.A.R.K. system includes tracking of injuries, trades and other player transactions head-to-head results, margin of victory and quality of opponent, as well as integration of predictions based on 100,000 run simulations forecasting the rest of the season, consistently updated after each game.

Harden gets exposed next round when some competent Defense shows up

Yoel and lebron are both on steroids

he's canadian, of course's he's talking about male ass.

Why does nobody give a shit about Vucevic choking in the playoffs?

Utah has the 2nd best defense in the league ya dumbass (Bucks are 1st)

I hate how cherry picked this image is! Harden’s showing a flash of a spark sure, he beat Kobe’s record for most 30 point games in a run, his stats are off the charts, and that SEEMS like a sparky display, but S.P.A.R.K.S. rating system accurately takes ALL factors into consideration. Scoring is one thing, but looking deep within harden for his inner spark shows that his spark-to-flame transformation is being formed in dampness. We need to leave our biases out of this and trust the systems algorithms.

I’ve just never quite seen the spark in Harden. There’s just something sparkless about how he gets his points. His three’s, although occasionally impressive, always are led up to by a long, drawn out, hunched over dribble wasting away shot clock so he can either chuck a 3 and fall down or drive in and look for a foul. it pains me to even see him on the /spARKY top 10 list at all given his constant flopping tbqh

I could do what wilt did if I played back in the 40s

Would the Cockshits really be better if you replaced Harden with Curry though?

fucking knew it

This. I wasn't sold on him for a while but the guy is a defensive powerhouse and has a huge BBIQ. We don't even need him to score. Hopefully he can shut down Embiid the same way.

he didnt choke, gasol pooped all over him

Lebum knows that he won't change the mind of this generation and the previous ones, hence why he's ensuring that zoomers and the ones after them will worship him.

Eventually zoomers will grow up and proclaim Lebum as their """GOAT""", with people who think MJ as the """GOAT""" as nothing more but nostalgia boomers.

Whose sweep was more impressive, Boston's or Milwaukee's?

I will say it is a very tricky matter to correctly spark. The Houston Rockets are of course well known flingers who enjoy spamming 3 pt shots until something sticks. As a matter of fact, 36.6% of these shots do stick for Houston. So with Harden and the Rockets, we should always be set to enjoy a game of chucking and flopping. Curry would fit right into a system that favors three’s, but I don’t see him flopping nearly as much as Harden. Seems to me like Curry would help to create a less damp environment for the Rockets to build spark upon.

You are not the first to ponder these matters though, user (and you certainly won’t be the last). Philosophers have pondered for centuries how to predict decisions which will create sparks in the hearts and minds of men. And I’ve been wondering if the Rockets themselves are all so different than these philosophers?
Coach Mike D'Antoni and the sparky James Harden pondered the source of their team’s spark, searching the Rocket’s vast open sparkyness for something solid, something lasting, something sparky! What Harden and company came up with was the great art of exaggerated iso-ball, mismanagement of the shot clock on literally every possession, flopping, and long distance chucking - An unlikely foundation for a spark, but it’s been sparking the Rockets on to their current playoff position thus far, so maybe they are on to something sparky after all. Curry might not be quite the right fit at the end of the day tho, due to his tendency to avoid shitty unsparky teams such as the Rockets. Only Time will tell tho.

Yeah, they played like shit, but if we’re gonna be honest about how awful their play has been over the last few months, there’s only one person you can lay legitimate blame on and that’s Billy fuckin Donovan.

But as far as turning coat and acting like we need to burn down the whole franchise and throw all the blame on Westbrook is bullshit. These losses are a collective team effort. They don’t belong solely on Westbrook’s shoulders.

Anyway, it ain’t over yet. We’ve still got one more game to lose and until then THUNDER THE FUCK UP

the ABSOLUTE state of Methlahoma Shitty Blunder

Imagine being Vucevic and walking into contract negotiations this summer and trying to ask for a max with straight face after this playoffs

What is it that makes Westbrook so shit? Is it the IQ, poor shooting? On paper he should be a dominant player. His IQ is so bad that it can turn an entire team to shit, and he's had multiple talented teammates.

None of the other moves would've been made if they didn't ditch westbrook. He doesn't make his teammates better. Harden does.

He's really overrated. He doesn't have a signature facet to his game that can will teams. Athleticism can only do so much. It's honestly astounding that he's been given this much leeway for his shit play.

This fatboi gone in the summer. You know Ujiri is upgrading him for Jrue Holiday or someone younger. Ujiri promised ownership a ring within three years and he knows Lowry isn't the pg to bring him one. Not against a healthy Curry. Nothin personnel, just tru fax. And i think Lowry senses all these so he'll be balling out the rest of the postseason like it's a contract year until his body falls apart. Win-win for Ujiri.

I never post on here but honestly it’s crazy that we had to get entirely lucky just to GET THIS MATCHUP and then get damn near swept by a team we swept during the regular season. Russ was my fav player before this season and after that horrible game against the lakers with NO LEBRON and Memphis and now this....

I think KD was right for leaving. He can win with Westbrook. Olidipo left and is an all star. Harden left and is an MVP.. PG was lighting Lebrons ass on fire in the pacers-cavs series despite being swept. I feel like players are better when they get away from Russ.

Billy is to blame but Russ is a problem and I think we should admit it

Westbrook ruined the allure of triple doubles.

thunder suck dick

It's because most fans don't even watch games, they just watch the highlights on youtube. When they watch the highlights, they just see Westbrook dunking and making a few shots. They don't see him throwing up bricks, and turning the ball over.

The whole point for those contracts for Lowry, Ibaka, and JV (now Gasol) is that they all expire after 2019-20, why would Masai trade for Jrue who won't expire until 2021-22 and is considered injury prone?

Gasol is gonna lock up Embiid to take us to the ECF while Kawhi will lock up Giannis to take us to the finals. Then Danny Green will score 40 points a game in the finals by posting up Curry to win us the ‘chip.

I heard that it was /spARKY’s engineering and design team behind the curtains. I think it was actually their rigorous efforts behind the scenes that sparked the advent of the new Candybread Elite7 rating engine. I once heard that it was this amazing technology that enables an efficient means of compiling and delivering all the sparkworthy stats and news and “Lebron is as overated as they come” posts to those who need it.

If I remember correctly, /spARKY believes that every spark has at least a chance at becoming a flame. I think he once said he believes that we owe it to ourselves to seek out the truth in all /NBA/ related matters, unlocking the sparkyness within ourselves and using that spark to ignite a lasting flame. I don’t really know too much about the topic tho.

Why would Ujiri be motivated by capspace when this currently stacked roster is one piece (the pg piece) away from being finals FAVORITES? It's the fucking opposite, Ujiri would be pro-luxury tax if it buys him a ring, the one commodity Toronto has never possessed. It's rebuilding teams who would be finding value in expiring contracts, which coincidentally is 33yo Lowry's sole remaining value in the market. Holiday can do everything Lowry does except playmake to Lowry's current level, but that comes with repetitions and chemistry, at 5 million less than Lowry's price tag.

Bros, how do I experience ego death? What drugs do I need to accomplish this?

Can't forget that they'll still be deep into the luxury tax for next season ($147 million vs $132 million tax threshold) and will probably have to salvage the buyout market for roleplayers in 2020-21 since Westbrook, PG13, Adams, and Schroder will occupy most of the salary cap

>shooting at a significantly lower percentage than Deandre fucking Jordan

JUST

gonna be weird seeing you walk around outside completely tripping shirtless while yelling about engines and throwing (wet) rocks at peoples houses because they don’t trust the algorithms

He's gotten worse at shooting in all aspects this year. He was already a one man brick factory with a reputation for shooting his team out of contention, but this year he's trying to take it to another level and start his own construction company.

Westbrook is now washed up. It's amazing how bad he's become now that he can't rely on his athleticism any more. Why didn't he try to develop good shooting and passing skills?

based truth

He's the Chris Eubanks Jr of the nba.

Look up Paul Stamets, he’s the leading expert in the field of mushrooms. He cured his life long stutter which prevented him from talking to girls and, bc of psychedelics, has gone in to live a magical life of wealth, fortune, fame, meaning and true happiness. He owns like every government and military mushroom patent related to mushrooms and fungi out there. This guy will help start you off into the right path for changing your perspective.

it's less to do with the fact that he's washed (he is) and more to do with the fact that he has literally no reason to want to improve his game anymore. He already won an MVP, he already got paid and locked into a huge contract, he's beloved by everyone in OKC, and he has 0 chance at a championship anyway. Honestly if you were in westbrooks shoes would you spend any time practicing your jump shot? He was literally handed the keys to OKC along with $200 million and told he could do whatever the fuck he wanted to and his fans would still love him... of course he's just going to statpad and not give a fuck.

>LeBron in top 5

nah he's right below Simmonson your tier list

I was ready to give Harden or Giannis or KD the title of "best in NBA" but after watching this playoffs...nope. It's still Lebron.

Clearly this list was compiled using a rating engine with properties which very shoddily tries to either mirror the Candybread Elite7’s algorithms, or interfaces directly with a bootlegged version of our software, however, it should be noted that the S.P.A.R.K.S. has been praised for their optimization of this current technology, and their ability to fine tune the scoring engine, resulting in a more accurate ordering than L.O.A.F.

It is all too common to get major errors in your results if your machine has not been calibrated correctly with the most recent and up-to-date tuning methods. I believe this is the issue you are experiencing, and why, for example, your list is rating Harden and Curry in their opposite positions (this error was corrected corrected with the ShockWire6.7 update) and why Lebron is rated incorrectly much too highly.

My advice: I would just ditch the whole LarryLoaf Pro3.4 trash system and just start getting acclimated to the sparky new age. Sparky has taken care of all your rating needs, so why worry!?

Attached: 81A0D556-E088-4C72-9223-EE21A9AB8AEF.jpg (1024x659, 94K)

It's still LeBron by a longshot too. Harden, Giannis and KD can be slowed down. When LeBron wants to, he can get 30, 10, 8 a night in his sleep. Still the best in the game. Second best all-time.

But I’ve always known based Colin was right.

Sorry to say, but your opinion of LeFraud doesn’t really match up with our rating engine’s results.. it may very well be that you’re running your ratings model using an outdated version of the stats filtering module. For a more viable reference point, please access the “LeBron-Choke.spk” file. Once your system management profile has prompted you to confirm the updated load order, simply select “YES”, and then select “SPARK” on the next screen, and proceed to re-run your results. I think then you’ll see that LeBron is a massive fraud and your opinion was mostly based on personal bias.

Thank you based sparky breh for enlightening me with your superior intelligence and wisdom. Without your relentless effort and dedication on your superbly crafted ratings system, how would I know what is going on in this chaotic league? I will be sure to tell all of my beautiful offspring about your marvelous contributions in the world of sports research. I wish you the best spark breh :)

Always happy to give a spark to those in need user!

This is exactly what I expected and it is glorious (a god dream lol)

Kawhi, Durant and LeBron are much better than Giannis, if Bron or Kawhi had his team they’d 16-0 in the playoffs. Harden is also better than Giannis as much as it pains me to say it.

Lillard is the hero we needed

based

This meme needs to die. There is no way either harden or Westbrook would have both developed into the players they are today if they had to coexist in the thunder. They both MUST have a 35%+ usage rate to be effective, based on how they play. Leavimg 30% or less of the possesions for KD and the rest of the team. Not to mention that them starting together would have been one of the worst defensive pairings I'm the nba.

They would have still likely won a title with Harden as a sixth man, which means KD probably stays even if Harden might have still left eventually.

>tnt broadcast of the thunder game opens with "welcome to bricktown"

Cheeky

But they didnt win a title with harden as sizth man when they got the chance, and it's not like the title winning teams between then and KD leaving were pushover. Plus, your completely discounting the amount of drama trying to keep harden a sixth man forever would have cost, not to mention the cost for one of the smallest market franchises in the league.

Westbrook is going to be so useless once his athleticism declines with age. He has absolutely no idea how to play basketball.

>westbrick

Are you a really nerdy 50yo Boomer? You strike me as one

>didnt win a title with harden as sizth man when they got the chance
that whole team was young and it would have been worth bringing them back together the following year. harden was happy coming off the bench. he was happy being in okc. your point about the cost is fair, but i think the team success would have paid off financially in the end.

did winning a title transform cleveland's franchise? Cleveland, while small, is also a much bigger market than OKC. And I have serious doubts that harden would have been happy in OKC long term, given what we know about his off court life and interests. Besides, they've made worse mistakes. OKC should be given more crap for paying kanter 80 million, a completely unplayable player in the playoffs for them, than choosing Ibaka over harden.

The best part about him is that he is very intelligent and knows the right way to play basketball. He just refuses to do it when it really matters, for reasons known only to him and god.

He's got this awful way of forcing it when he has a bad day.

but you just know its coming eventually, especially when he gets hot early. game five is gonna be an so much drama.

harden and westbrook will never win a ring

No one can

>who can stop le greek man?
No one is really "guardable" in the NBA when they have the constant greenlight.
Gameplans get revolved around players, in this case Giannis has the entire offense designed around him, so he's going to get his points regardless.
Isaiah Thomas scored almost 30 Points a game and is in the top ten in playoff points scored for a game because he had the offense revolve around his scoring.

Giannis isn't the person Stevens is gameplanning on stopping, it's everyone else.

Giannis wouldn’t have played when I did in the 70s before they changed the dribbling rules and inhibited handchecking. Put a nigga like me on him 6’7 345lbs and he won’t score

sixers did a pretty good job with greek when they put embiid on him. that took away his ability to drive and forced him to get his points outside. he still got his points but it limited his ability to create for his teammates.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't lump Harden in with that bum Chokebrick, Harden might actually go for it this year and round 2 between Houston and Golden State will be a spectacle.

blazers vs spurs will be kino

What does him being bigger than Lebron have to do with his competition? Wilt can simultaneously be bigger and more athletic than players today and have used that to his advantage playing against a league where the outstanding majority of players would not be capable of playing today.
>b-b-but if they had modern training/nutrition they would be just as good
Maybe? There’s no way to know that dumb shit for sure, and the fact is they didn’t. He played against objectively inferior competition while being a physical beast which is why he had such gaudy stats. When he did play against comp (best teams in the playoffs) those stats regressed and he lost the majority of the time.

Surely you mean Portland and me Denver Nuggets? Jokica will carry the load and Denver's going for the win come game 6.

i originally thought that at the end of the reg season when pisties were losing meme games to teams like the grizzlies and resting blake it was because they were tanking for the 7th seed to play the toronto raptor

No upsets, all the shit teams are getting BTFO easily and the only good series is nuggets/spurs, two teams I literally couldn't give less of a shit about. They really need to just skip round 1 and make it so only the top 4 seeds make the playoffs, this shit is pointless.

That was the most fun ive ever had watching a game so yes, actually. I mean for them to pull it off was miraculous and near impossible. Once Kawhi is on the team they will finally have someone to defer to in crunch time other than Lou, at this point if Lou is off the team is fucked. In the end id rather be a fan of a team I care about than a bandwagoner. Like I said, Kawhi would change everything and its more or less a certainty that hes coming during the offseason. Who knows what other pieces The Logo will grab for us along the way?

Seems like that was so long ago now!

Clippers had game 4 since Golden State made sure to give them more than enough chances to take the game, but they didn't capitalize on it and lost their chance at having the potential to actually advance past round 1.

Bucks vs Raptors, Rockets against Warriors and Portland against Denver is going to be fucking lit.

He has not had a better career than Kareem nor Jordan. Even magic is arguable

Fuck all the analyst saying it's all Westbricks fault. What they don't understand is that this year's Blazers team is legit. They are tied 2-2 vs the Warriors this year. Even with Nurk out they are still winning. Lillard and McCollum are good team leaders. The bench with Curry, Collins and even fucking Leonard is decent this year. Put some respeck on this year's blazers. Barkley won't put them as running for this year's finals for nothing.

ooooooooooooooooops

LeBron is a better basketball player than Kareem was.

everyone with half a brain knew the thunder were shit

I guarantee OKC trades for Kevin Love in the offseason.

agreed and both him and kareem were also better than jordan

>t. Jared Dudley

literally everyone saying the blazers fucked up for winning their final game
OKC beat blazers 4-0 back in regular season with Nurkic in the lineup. They are also the underdogs even though they are higher seeded.

By what metrics? Lebron shoots 3s better, dribbles better, and is a better passer. Kareem scored better, rebounded better, was a better defender, and actually had it translate into titles. For Lebron to be as great as everybody claims he certainly loses a lot

forgot mah pic

Love is a little washed and injury prone. But any team having will be better due to the shooting. Not to mention a stretch 4 is really valuable.

>T. ironic shitposter
This guy gets it. Never could stand all the media-hype around this tired fraud every year come playoffs.
I watched how the NBA praised him instead of letting him prove his worth. The NBA adapted to Lebron’s style of play instead of Lebron adapting to the league's style of play.

As a former coach, it has always killed me to watch lebron use his off arm and shove his way to the hoop. Fundamentals teach you to guard the ball, but as soon as you raise the arm towards a defender.. It's a charge. While his fans, along with the NBA were so impressed with his physique they failed to realize that basketball was a game of skill. Just because lebron is bigger than your average guard it does not mean he can run him over. Power is designed for the power forward who uses his strength in the post. Had the NBA forced lebron to drive the right way, he would either become finesse or develop a mid range game..which are his weaknesses.

People love to mention "if you take lebron off this team"... Notice how Lebrons teams run the lebron system.. Of course if u take him off the team they will suck. If lebron played in a system where it maximizes each players talent they can win without him.. (spurs, GS, BOS)..

Its so sad to just watch him choke in the finals every year and listen to the excuses pour in. Is it not tiring to say he has no help? He's had 15 seasons to prove his worth. Or maybe he's not the player your mind wanted him to be. No amount of muh advanced stats will compensate for his 3-6 LOSING record on the big stage. And Lebronsexuals still try to argue he’s “”””GOAT””””.. A few players will pass greats in added/ over time numbers. What counts are season by season: how many titles, how many scoring, rebounds, assist titles do you have? Let's not omit DEFENSE!!.. DPOY, defensive first team, how much spark!?and lastly, how do you protect the ball... Turnovers... Don't let the media persuade you..

just because it was the popular opinion among morons doesn't make it any more exciting to people who actually watch basketball and know thunder's history. Anyone who watched the thunder since all-star break knew this was coming. Hell anyone who watched the thunder get swept by the jazz last year knew this was coming.

kareem played in an era where you just had to be tall and work out twice a week to dominate the NBA
