Should I watch the Rockets vs. Jazz later?
ask a magic eightball in my opinion
Regular season boy Russell swallowed by the playoffs.
do an eightball and watch rockers jazz
Lads why are the best shooters in the league all white? Is shooting racist?
Looks like my god dream wasn't real after all.
>3-1 lead
Come on clips won just one more game at Oracle so we can finally see the warriors fans get scared for blowing another 3-1 lead
Which brings us to an old favorite: Is Curry white?
I guess you could say it was the devil in a new dress

S.P.A.R.K.S. engineering and design team is not currently accepting applications. Unfortunately, we’ve caught one too many porkies poster spies trying to get hired at corporate, lately (Trying to get into our lab and steal our algorithms). if you would like to contribute to the sparky movement in your own way tho, you can just always remember to post with a bit less hate and a bit more love, making this place a tightly knit community of sparky individuals working together.
Thank you.
Stay blessed.

REALLY user BOTH OF THEM!??!! Don’t tell me he mixes them together, too!?
jus went for a car ride around lakeshore with the top down, couple weeks for the girls to be out in tiny shorts though. how you guys doin today?
Imagine being a thunder fan. LOL
>PG with a shoulder injury and probably needs to get a surgery
>Westbrook on a shit contract and is clearly regressing and showing age
Damn the Thunder are fucked. They can't even blow up the team if they wanted to.
will westshit ever be good?
I get that Okc threw away several winning hands. But moving forward what can they even do? Will releasing Westbrook really draw any good free agents?
No, they're fucked. Their face of the franchise is a cancer that nobody who wants to win would ever want to play with, and is compounded with their shitty small market. OKC is going to go the Memphis route and stay in NBA purgatory just to continue making a profit.
step 1 is probably telling angry duck to grow up quick or else you are dropping him like a bad habit. He actually has talent, now it's time to learn hoops.
Would you trade Westbrook for Lowry?
They should unironically fold their franchise.
>But moving forward what can they even do?
roll it over year after year with a different supporting cast. its not that bad they'll probably make the playoffs every year unless the t-wolfies and Kings both take a leap.
>He actually has talent
He's 30. It's a downward slope from here, but even a Westbrook with average BBIQ would be deadly even if he was 1 or 2 steps slower. It's mind boggling how much better he could have been, especially when his roadblocks are just mental. What an absolute waste of a player.
>okc fans unironically blaming the coaching, adams, and PG's shoulder
Not even LeBron gets this much of a pass
westbrook stans are same tier of delusion as final 5 seasons kobe stans. its a religion to them.
Fox will eventually become the new Westbrook
I’m feeling rather sparky myself. Had to get a 300+ lb 7.5 ft high mahogany armoire into my upstairs bedroom today and it wouldn’t fit through the door. My bedroom balcony has a sliding door that it would fit thru, but it also has a 4 ft high railing around the edge of the balcony. We shrink wrapped the armoire in moving blankets and then cranked some straps on it. 2 guys lifting it from the bottom. 2 guys on the top of the 2nd story balcony leaning over the railing pulling with straps to try to lift it. I was on the bottom with my friend and once we got it up above our heads, full arm extension, this massive 300 lb piece of furniture over our heads, arms shaking, the two guys on top just weren’t able to get it over the railing - Not enough leverage. They need an extra hand up there! My friend starts working his way to the middle to support it all on his own. He gives me the nod and I run up stairs as fast as I can and grab it from the top with the other three guys. We get it up almost level with the railing and we’re trying to pull it over. We almost got it, but we’re all losing strength and grip!! For a minute I thought we weren’t gonna get it and I my buddy is down there and if this thing needs lowering back down its 100% falling on him!! The 2 other guys and I finally somehow manage to get it over on the top of the railing and the other guy runs up to help us pull it off and inside. My adrenaline is still sparked from the experience and I’m rewarding myself by spending the rest of the day with my grill and my dog and Game of Throne (I kno but I like it)
how do i get the balls to go to a barber and ask for a haircut when my hair is long and retarded. i'm afraid i'll get roasted or they'll think less of me.
You really waste gas just so you can see underage girls thighs?
Yeah but you're paying him so I doubt the barber will give that much of a shit. Just get out there bro.
Thunder Suck Dick.
cutting hair is what they do my man. what is your issue even
Honestly as long as it's not fucking dirty it doesn't matter. It's pretty fun watching a big-ass head of hair get cleaned up. Make sure you tip well enough though.
i felt like going cruisin'
fixing hair is what they do, they'll probably roast you but its in good fun and if you're cool about it you can be a regular.
>you can be a regular.
Yeah I kinda fucked up my last barber because I've been getting my hair cut irregularly, like every few months. Last time I asked if he would cut my hair he didn't even respond.
No point
Brooms are ready
you gotta get your shit lined up at least twice a month man
>Last time I asked if he would cut my hair he didn't even respond.
He sounds like a fucking pussy
>Ghosted by your barber
Show me a sicker world than this one, you can't
i only get my hair cut once every 6-8 months or so. whats with you rich kids getting hair cuts once or twice a month? Like what's even the point, you barely look any different at that point
wait is there supposed to be something wrong with getting haircuts only twice a year?
>Once every 6-8 months
The hell?
Yeah I even walked in and he told me he was booked for the day even though there was nobody else in the shop and nobody was in his seat. Was pretty disappointed but there's a lot of barbers in the area so I'm not too concerned.
you don't get a haircut twice a month you just get it lined up especially important if you have a fade
there's nothing wrong with grooming and looking like you give a shit about your appearance bro
just go to great clips or another chain and ask for the old, fat lady with a heart of gold. She will give the best hair cuts and also give you life advice.
This is why you learn to do it yourself.
The last time I got my haircut, this roasty whore wouldn't stop talking about her fiance that she no undoubtedly split up with by now knowing how women are.
random people touching my head making awkward small talk is just stupid, so I bought a 20 dollar hair care kit that's lasted me like 3 years so far.
do not listen to this post
>The last time I got my haircut, this roasty whore wouldn't stop talking about her fiance that she no undoubtedly split up with by now knowing how women are.
why are women cutting your hair? why are women even in your barber shop? why do you guys not go to a real barbershop?
I don't live in the city. All you have to rely on are the locals.
you must have asked for the cute, flirty 20 year old who just graduated from hair cut school and is kind of narcissistic
Women are literally not allowed in my barbershop
barbershops are men only, broads go to the hair stylist or whatever faggot name those dudes have.
ok, well in normal people world stuff like cutting hair and other menial shit is reserved for women, while real men do the important stuff like engineering and running businesses. Also milk doesn't come in bags
you're gay if you care about your appearance
this has been an eyeopening look into white culture and i thank you
Why are the most Non-American key players in the NBA from former Yugoslavia (Jokic, Bogdanovic, Vucevic, Dragic? Other countries are underrepresented however they have a bigger population.
>tfw have lice and go to different barbershops
devilish
No, I'm a grown up.
Commies pushed sports as a means to pacify population as well as bring glory to their nations.

Yikes, don't do this if you have any self-respect
Just spent the last hour watching LeBron highlights.
this it good humanist advice. I'd make a slight amendment and say that you should go to your small time, local barber
don't understand why people spend thousands a month for a house when they could just live with their mom/grandma for free/cheap. Literally unless you have kids you're getting ripped off if you pay for your own house
Highest BBIQ ever. It's a shame these young men on this board can't appreciate high IQ plays. They think Jordan was a better defender because of his "perimeter" lockdown ability but can't comprehend LeBron's elite weakside defense and rebounding ability.
my dad is an NBA ref, the cucks will lose to detoilet tonight
Societal bullshit+Stupidity
People these days would rather listen to what the advertisement or article says on their facebook than do what they think is best.
two games nobody cares are up today, what a stupid day man.
umm sweaty watch tv and movies if you live at home you're a loser
i have to pay to live with my parents so i would actually save money by moving out
Fuck Harden, fuck the rockets, and fuck jannies
Watch Melo
Are you okay?
mom went to costco lads we can swear now
You have to get haircuts more frequently when you get older, youngfag. I just do it myself though rather than paying some faggot to do it.
Will I make a lot of money or find a new job soon?
Shit I dont even view life the same now as I did two years ago. I must be woke as fuck
will the pelicans get zion
roll for my celties winning the championship this year

That's true but non-commie countries did as well, too. So that is no explanation. The Russians were No.2 in the world and No.1 in Europe in the 70ies. Nowadays Russian basket nearly vanished and Domantas Sabonis is only Russian, sorry Lithuanian in NBA.
who controls the commie agenda?
>That's true but non-commie countries did as well, too.
Nowhere close to the same degree of emphasis placed on athletics in "free" countries. And the Russians were never #1 you look at those rosters its a ton of Lithuanians who are still doing quite well relative to population. Players like Maciulis and Lekvaicius(sp?) are/were NBA quality and just never made the jump.
Southern Slavs have good genetics for basketball. Height + long wingspans.
t. dumb namefag
There has to be a coach in this league that can unlock him, right?
unlock him as in parking him in the corner and having him hit open 3s? hes an abomination on defense and can't get to line
>Maciulis and Lekavicius
meh they might have been alright as role players (probably like Kuzminskas was) but not much more
Truth is we are not that good anymore the way I see it and the national team had some underwhelming international tournament performances lately. I guess the world cup will show where we stand.
All this talk of Kawhi leaving, yet Siakam is ready to lead that team himself
No, Jimmer is a low IQ, tunnel vision shot chucker who isn't athletic or skilled enough to create in the NBA. And he can't play D for shit.
Amazing how he dabbed on shit teams in the garbage West Coat Conference for 4 years and somehow tricked everyone into thinking he was 1st round material.
Siakam is good but Kawhi is on the same level as Durant and Bron.
Durant or Lebron wouldn't lose game 1 to the magic if they had Siakim
Trust me on this
Only Jokic seems to be a key player.
Here are nationalities of some current non American key players(you probably think like half of them are American)
:
Irving, Simmons - Australian
Embiid, Siakam - Cameroon
Giannis - Greek
Capela - Swiss
Gobert - French
Horford - Dominican
Kyrie doesn't really count
>Releasing Westbrook
Assuming the Thunder buys out his 5 Year / $205 million Supermax extension after this season the Thunder is still going to be fucked long term since that extension just started this years and they will have to stretch the last three years of the extension (from 2021-22 to 2023-24) into seven years instead (2021-22 to 2027-28) due to how stretch provision works (or worse stretch 4 years of the extension over nine seasons if they waive and stretch before September 1st this year). So even without Westbrook the Thunder will still have dead salary occupying a decent chuck of their cap long term
>watching LeBron highlights

Will the Clippers win game 5?
For me, it's the Westminster Warriors
Is it wrong that as a Detroit fan I’m rooting for the Piss Stains to get swept tonight just so people get more angry at the franchise and its players (especially Drummond)
are the warriors winning the chip this year?
go ahead and post the no playoff series wins since _______ while you can, haters
Dubs plz senpai need gf
Wilt Chamberlin would be Hasheem Thabeet in today's NBA
Is Westbrook actually bad or is he just a victim of the superteam ring chasing era? He'd be a top 10 player in the 2000s and even 90s.
The bricks he throws are disgusting
no, he and KD were both huge parts in OKC's meltdown in 2016. They basically took turns throwing the game away, twice, when they had late 4th quarter leads
>westbrook: I don't watch any tape on other guys
lmao
Did he really say this? jesus christ
>he and KD were both huge parts in OKC's meltdown in 2016
KD completely threw the series. Westbrook did what he was supposed to and Durant didn't deliver.
based gigachad too busy picking out his impeccable fits
>Kawhi Leonard signs a 5-year extension with the Toronto Raptors
wow, no wonder he is so shit
are you more positive now
reminds me of those kids who would brag about how they never studied and then got C's on the tests because they weren't as smart as they thought they were
Based chad mentality. What he's trying to say is that stuff is tryhard and beneath him
I'm pretty sure he's just talking about watching entire games. That shit is retarded. Obviously he'll watch scouting footage during film sessions, which are more detailed and concise. You can tell nobody here actually plays ball.
those scouting films youre talking about? yeah theyre called tapes in the NBA. fuck off zoomer
>theyre called tapes in the NBA.
Citation needed.
Americans shouldn’t be playing our sport. We should ban non-Canadian teams from the NBA.
roll for sara gf
he's not even talking about scouting, the reporter asked him about James Harden. Of course he's not fucking watching the rocket's games
The film was from 2017. You got baited.
why wouldnt you watch the other games??
Ibaka? Ingles? If Canada counts, then even fucking Wiggins. (They might not be key though.)
Steven Adams?

Roll for trips, but Pistons reverse sweep instead.
damn

Warriors should sign Oubre when KD leaves
why bother, the jizz couldn't beat the Rockets with Westbrick showing up in a fake beard and a rockets uniform on saturday night
Will my deer seal the deal tonight?
>trade for blake griffin's albatross contract
>he gets injured in time for the playoffs as if on schedule
holy shit, your self esteem bruh.
Barbers don't care, they're paid to fix this. I didn't know any haircut talk when I first started going to a barber, just go to someone good and ask him to fix you up and tell you what he's doing so he knows what to ask for. Barbers will explain the terminology, the different types of cuts, fades, what the clipper numbers are, what products will go well with your hair, etc.
call ahead of time my dude. I never just walk in
prolly
Based. Why should he play in games not accounted for in his contract? It’s like working a bunch of overtime at work and not getting paid for it.
you do know you get paid extra for playoff games right?
You don't get a proportional overtime over your salary, you get some bullshit minimum wage.
my mom never feeds me and just goes out to eat with her boyfriends but never invites me or brings me anything back. honestly fuck her
this. also you get a "bonus" for winning a chip but it's usually only like 5K or something, like seriously?
that's why I kind of admire westbrook. he knows winning is bullshit and refuses to be a slave for the man
OKC having the worst of 3 MVPs is never not going to be hilarious. A 30 for 30 needs to be done on them. The Seattle curse is real.
damn that sucks friend, when we open our pool in june you can come over and have some food
Based.
Fuck kids desu. I'm never having kids and definitely never raising one because what if my kids turn out like the autistic creaturas that inhabit this general?
>my mom never feeds me
While your mom sounds like a shitty person, why are you so fucking useless? Goddamn nigga, learn to cook. Even if it's basic shit like spaghett, noodles, chicken breasts, etc. All you need for half decent food is onion, tomato, chicken, rice, and salt and pepper
My Raptor about to fucking reverse sweep the magic!! Rise up rapties
and he played the other night, was the best player by far (same with regular season) and defended great against giannis
he's the only reason the team made it to the playoffs, i'm not sure what you're getting at here.
If you're OKC do you trade PG and try to surround Westbrook with 3/D players or trade Westbrook and build around PG? The problem though is both of their contracts are terrible.
didn't detroit nearly make the playoffs without blake last year? don't see how he's making that big of an impact desu
I unironically cannot think of a single team that would want to trade for Westbrook
neither you roll it back and change out the role players/coaching staff. you're OKC you're never going to get anybody else of their caliber to stay around long term so you accept their faults and keep trying. As faulty as Westbrook is he's probably third team all-nba this year you can't move on from all-nba players in such a market.
at this point there's no quick easy fix. You just have to ride out their awful contracts and don't make any more dumbass moves (trading assets for more washed players) the next 5 years while getting bounced in the first round every year until they can create a true rebuild
half the league would for the sheer fact he will sell tickets
what? it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about and don't watch pistons games, so there's no point discussing this shit.
Suns would do it in an instant.
>coaching staff
There is no coach outside of Pop that could make Westbrook sit the fuck down, and even then that would be a huge challenge for Pop.
bucks - pistons game thread
enlighten me then. I don't watch pistons games at all, but I've noticed the same shit of going on ridiculous hot streaks followed by being complete ass and settling right at/slightly below .500 by the end of the year with or without him. Like the past two seasons they've been barely .500 teams, I'm wondering what he's doing that's any different.
Didn't say it'd work but its their only choice.
fuck you man
>okc threw away kd/harden/westbrook for Ibaka
Top 10 worst moves in sports history
Why aren’t people asking the obvious question about Westbrook?
Is Father Time beginning to catch up with him? He’s 30 and his game was always dependent on his athleticism so his game was going to age like shit, especially as he’s useless off-ball. I mean, he was never efficient but it has got notably worse lately.
all the lelkers want is a name so they certainly would
the season he was acquired he played well but it wasn't a good situation because reggie jackson was injured and as god-awful as he is, the team needed a PG to facilitate the offense. He still averaged 20/6/5 which is fine, the team was not in a good position before he came anyways
this season he is 25/6/6 and is carrying the team on his back. bigs aren't exactly what they used to be, the league is reliant on long balls and 3pt shooting, and with your 3 highest paid playersbeing blake, reggie jackson (the worst PG in the league) and drummond (0 offense mental midget who is dogshit) it's a fucking mess.
blake is obviously not the best player in the league, but he's really fucking good and needs help. it's hard to describe but if you've watched any of the pistons games this series (or at all) you'd instantly know what i'm talking about. no one on this team can shoot or play defense whatsoever, hence why brook fucking lopez popped off against drummond the other night
My pisties are about to reverse sweep the greek fraud
Imagine LeBron's face when he demands Davis and he gets Westbrook
also for the record, in case people may have forgotten. MY pistons are going for an nba record tonight
>most consecutive playoff losses
CAN THEY MAKE IT 12 IN A ROW?
3 STRAIGHT SWEEPS?
NO WINS IN LIKE OVER A FUCKING DECADE OR SOMETHING?
what were they looking at?
It's so cute watching Detoilet lose their minds with a 9 point lead and needing to win 4 more games.
They have little choice but to tank with Westbrook aka Lakers with Kobe. Westbrook’s contract is unmovable.
Trading Adams/PG for assets to accelerate the rebuild is, on paper, the right move, but I can’t see them doing it. We’ll just see OKC slowly decline into irrelevance before they trade them in the final years
personally id rather see my casey pisties lose 14 straight playoff games
They'll do it I believe in them
>blake has to play with a broken leg for andre to show some effort
white guy is yawning, black guy saw a white woman
Still laughing @ the icarly girl ruining Drummond's hopes and dreams
The east was far more competitive this year.
i genuinely don't know how thorn maker is an nba player, let alone a 2-time starter in a playoff series
Drummond puts forth zero effort why anyone defends him is completely baffling.
bucks are frauds, just like I thought. The ECF will be raptors/76ers (celtics aren't making it either)
92250022
That’s not possible you retard
Real question is can the Celtics beat the Bucks?
eternally shook ever since icarly said he's a bad kisser
the 2 best teams are making the ECF. stay mad, but you can't convince me any other teams will beat them.
raptors and 76ers in the 2nd round m8. also lol @ 76ers being anything other than frauds
>casey yelling on the sidelines for people to put their hands up so the bucks dont have an easy pass to someone
>they look like headless chicken, give up the pass which is an easy giannis 3
like pottery
Giannis is overrated as fuck
>push off offensive foul and dunk no call
>travel going to the rim every possession
Fucking manufactured superstar just like how they never call shit on harden
yeah i don't watch many bucks games, but i noticed this series there is a lot of contact giannis is initiating that doesn't get called. i'm sure there's bias in my view as a pisston fan but it's interesting
I’m not even a pistons fan bro but ive been saying this for 2 years now watching him closely.
nba needs new stars damn it ignore his 5-6 offensive fouls a quarter
>nba lizards choose some greek kid named antententoonkoompahbo as face of the nba
doubt it
pisties givinnem
kek that fucking commercial
>tfw you'll never have an ugly gf daydreaming about buying clothes from amazon
kill me now
they chose him because he can dunk from the free throw line and they're hoping they can make him the sierra mist of the east to lebron's sprite
>leafs shaking in their boots since the bucks are running wild on the east
refs refballing
boston is a scarier opponent than the bucks ever could be, sorry you guys are still shit and would get swept by DeRozan
>Greek
Is Blake a bust?
My pisties and netties in 7
no
Giannis is the NBA's golden boy. Silver sent out a memo saying let that man travel and blast everyone around him in the face.
>losing at this very moment
>pistons without blake for the last 2 games of the season (both have to be wins to make playoffs)
>go down 23 at the half to memphis, barely win
>have a tough time against new york
big shocker the game he comes back they lead at the half and now they're up by 6
they dont even guard andre, why doesnt he just take a 2?
hes dumber bbiq than westbrook
He's about as smart as your average houseplant is why
Boston is a way bigger threat than FirstRoundExit Frauds

Bros....
basketball stars are handsome my guy, don’t worry about it. christ, this is why I’m single
If Bucks lose this game, they've spiritually lost this series
What happened to Blake Griffin’s personality?
Dude used to be a happy go lucky type of guy but seems miserable the past few years. Is Detroit really that bad to live in?
Wow he made a layup through contact. Literally no one in the history of basketball has done that.
he's pretty attractive so honestly it's cool.
punished Blake
he went from being rich in LA to fucking detroit. What do you think
>all this work just to lose by 15 in the second half
why does detoilet have a franchise again?
It's so obvious they're shilling him hard in an effort to make him the next Lebron for the ratings.
If being rich in LA is so nice, why haven’t the Clippers and Lakers got any big free agents other than Lebron?
the nba is not-even-secretly just a league to look at handsome men. why tf does anyone else watch this game?
Westbrook talks a lot of shit for being ass
the nintendo switch
Is Giannis the least skilled superstar of all time? Literally all of his success comes from being absurdly long.
ya'll ABSOLUTE faggot haters
that was sick
the hell is Blake trying to prove anyway? i dont like him at all but i feel bad for the dude. dont want him getting hurt.
Shaq
>trying to prove
nothing? he's a hardworking guy and puts in good energy every game, which i guess is so foreign in this league now around superstars that people have to question it
okay reggie that was sick
wtf bros....i thought you said detroit was bad....
Reggie Jackson is so cringe.
because the lakers are a shit organization and the clippers didn't have money once they finally got their shit together. If the choice is between LA and detroit, then LA wins every time
>reggie getting more put backs than andre
this guy
BROS I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SWEEP
APOLOGIZE TO ME PISTIES
handsome yiannis will save the day with a 34 point rampage you choade
>which i guess is so foreign in this league now yes, it is
you realize that basketball has 2 halves
Lob City more like Flop Shitty
It's still a sweep. Blake deserves better desu
My Pisties are elite, draft Jaxson Hayes next year, trade Drummond for some expirings and add a max SF the year afterward when Reggie's deal comes off the book and we'll compete for a title.
>23 free throws to 8, and it's only halftime
your pisties are fucked
Spicy P > Kyrie Irving
Change my mind.
Pistons looking good bros... might reverse sweep this series
Didn't watch the entire season, did i miss anything memorable? or another wasted season?
Yes it’s another season of people forgetting the warriors will win yet again but this time around there’s some new teams in the playoffs for first round fodder and refball
We found out that Lebum is done but other than that nothing special.
memes
See I knew it was a good idea to miss the season. This off-season the warriors wont be able to pay all their stars right? so next season could be their downfall? Kawhii and AD free agents right.
lol, well not the entire season, i dropped after like 20 games or so. I saw this lol
Rumor is kd is leaving, Kawhi too. AD still has 1 more year and apparently is thinking about staying since David griffin got hired. I think next year will be exciting but this season was ass
yea he is a pretty dude. more attractive than any other face of the league anyway

Huh
yo Kenny was clowning manlets in live tv just now WTF bros
no, this is patrick
Bucks looking really average to be honest.
Its good to be a 6"2 dinaroid
>tfw just made the average cutoff at 6'0
Thank God bros
Are the bucks, dare I say it, shook?
giannis making andre look like a little bitch
this game is fucking trash it should be illegal to put this on tv
Dude Giannis just moved Drummond like he wasn’t even there. Was crazy
Are the pistons, dare I say, sparky?
being a lakers fan is my personality
erice b is not playing rite
How long until the Pistons blow everything up and trade Griffin and Drummond?
No we are gonna ice the Celtics for a week.
Has anyone tried the new Mountain Dew Ice yet?
First time watching an Eastern playoff game in 10 years, why are these teams so shit?
Wilt once lifted a tea cup like it was a man
>we
Lakers have been having problems lately
Nobody wants blake's contract unless they don't have to give up anything and drum is a bum
they will never trade griffin
as for reggie jackson and drummond, i doubt it will happen because those contracts are awful. hopefully this offseason they're both shipped
JUST FUCKING LOSE THE GAME PISTONS AND SET A NEW NBA RECORD, I NEED IT
it was linked earlier. Hint: Oblivion character creation.
Denver would take it if Barton went to motor city
>half-time faptime
>watching a good video when all of a sudden the dude starts eating out the asian massage lady
almost puked lads
Blake still has it, he should go to a good team
How old are you again?
Blows my mind how Kennard isn't getting heavy minutes. He's clearly the pistons' best player outside of blake
Is there something bad with eating out?
27. oh, it wasn't a scripted video, it was an actual hidden recording in some seedy massage parlor
reggie you fucking idiot
I need that video for an ongoing investigation in Florida. Thanks.
dude when i was scrolling through there was a video called "ROBERT KRAFT MASSAGE PARLOR VIDEO" and it was some old guy facefucking a poor asian lady, pretty funny
Whole Pistons team is gonna foul out at this rate. Refs are the only thing I fear as a Rapties fan.
>Blake is the only good player in the Pistons
What a boring af game
>mfw all these little faggot lady boys didn't think the celtics were gonna completely style all over the indiana shitters
how mad are you retards at this very moment? i guarantee your little "team" hasn't won their series in a 4-0 sweep so i know you're violently shitting your diapers like a bitch LMAO.
>Pisstons now want to make this a series
Give up and die already
I thought the Spurs and Celtics had a broship
Casey is losing his mind lmfao, what the canadians did to this man???
THE BUCKS ARE PURE REFBALL
FUCK THI TEAM I HOPE DETOILET SWEEPS MILWAUKEE
They're not even hiding it anymore holy shit
>giannis phantom calls
woah! weird! haha lol!
please just fucking lose and end this cities misery
>getting T'd up late game with your season on the line
Incredibly high coaching IQ right there
Why are the refs kicking the pistons while they're down? Don't tell me the bucks need refball to beat a team with a 1 legged Blake Griffin as their best player
You didn't actually think I'd let Giannis lose, did you user?
Jackson has been great this game
The bucks have 32 fucking free throws. Fuck this fucking rigged league . Giannis your next LeBron so you fucking rig every game for him? Fuck off
>trusting somebody from Boston to be loyal
Refs are blowing this for the Bucks. Celtics need to go on Ice.
I don't even care for the Pistons but it's frustrating to watch. I know they'll pull the same shit with us no question.
based leaf and also fuck the bucks
This refball is just in your face now, really a shame the league has become this.
I prefer Mountain Dew Fapple ®
>the taste of a fap, with just a hint of apple™
>Blake only has 2 FTs at home
>Giannis has 11 FTs away
lmao
seething
When all you do is hack and throw 3 on Giannis, just drown in 4-0 already. You're not winning.
How was that not a foul lmao
We're not pisstains fans retard, we just don't like to see blatant refball
lel i was reading an article yesterday about how awful maker actually is
>bucks are actually encouraging themselves to leave him open on 3 because he cannot make wide open 3s
i don't even care, this entire franchise is so fucking weird and bad. still beats the days of charlie v/monroe/stuckey
cousin skeeter lookin ass
Why is this game on so late?
Now that LeBron is gone from the east I guess they’re trying to build up giannis, can’t even touch the guy
giannis shoots freethrows, the game
nah that spot is for Embiid, the much more marketable player
>drives
>gets an automatic call
>Giannis has more FTs than the entire Pistons team
>Blake shoved on clear path dunks playing injured and didn't get a call
Seems good hehe xd
WHAT THE FUCK ARE MY PISTIES DOING?
This is a fucking joke lmao
All refs should be lynched
some weak ass shit getting called
No one can stop the greek freak!
are we pretending that giannis isn't getting the shit hacked out of him?
To be fair every call is right. The Pistons just suck.
and you faggots complain about Harden, foh wit dat bullshit yall
Imagine if he wasn't an unskilled giganigga and could actually shoot. He'd lead the league in scoring from free throws alone if he could shoot like 85-90%
Shh it doesn't fit their narrative. It's refball I tell ya!
Durability issues aside, he's heel to Giannas' face at best
The arm is part of the ball you dumb shit
I’ve always thought it was weird that everyone sucked off yannis
I’ve noticed all year he gets an auto-blocking foul every time he drives, even when he just trucks stationary defenders
I’m glad sp is finally noticing what a ref babby he is
He’s just as bad as harden
How will the Celshits overcome this Giannis dicksucking?
The Milwaukee Frauds have not been out of the first round since 2001
15 more minutes 'till history brehs
Gotta admit, the bucks do have a good looking arena.
Refs usually suck Boston’s dick pretty hard. This will be a good match up. I say bucks in 5. But most are close games.
>ancient history
It caters to its audience. And it's by far the dumbest audience in its history.
You would need to be brain dead to take the Celtics or 76ers in the second round. Kawhi and Giannis are obviously much better 1st options than Embiid and Kyrie.
reminder /nba/ got it wrong
>your max paid player can't hit a 4 foot floater
it's truly amazing drummond has yet to develop any sort of offensive game outside of
>rebound
>tap in
Celshits have a shot if Kyrie goes 2016 finals mode and the rest of the team doesn't shit themselves
see you in the finals Milwaukee
>Giannis has 5 seconds to shoot a three
>sits there and takes a deep breath
>fucking airballs it
holy shit my fucking sides
Drummond is unbelievably bad Jesus Christ
HAHAHA THIS NIGY GIANNIS TAKING LESSONS FROM WESTBRICK
>spends 5 seconds lining up shot
>airball
pistons have never heard of a fucking pumpfake
Unreal haha
>that blake flop
LMAO aight well that was amusing at least
No, they don’t. Celtics have no interior presence. Giannis will eat them alive and based Lopez will keep old man horford honest on defense so he can’t help defend against Giannis
Can anyone explain to me how it's possible to make the NBA without being able to play proper defence? Or even shoot a free throw? What were you doing when you were learning to play the game?
he spent way too much time playing with cp3
Anyone remember that Steven Corey guy who won 2 MVPs? How come nobody cares about him anymore?
Blakie to the Lakies
meme threes
It’s amazing the best player in the league can airball a 3 like that. What a shit sport.
The Raptors would be the only team in the league and even then they still would get swept in the ecf
Because he hasn't won a finals MVP.
You spelled “Raptors” incorrectly... But yes all the algorithms do point the absolute fact that the Dubs will be be in the finals this year, facing off with the Raps, or poissibly, but a bit less likely, the Bucks.

Dunking on everyone
A lot of these guys can get through just by being bigger and faster than everybody else. There's always a market for those guys because in theory you can teach skill but you can't teach natural athleticism
That's why I said IF Kyrie goes God mode, he needs to match Giannis in scoring and then Boston can win with the better supporting cast.
>a player that excels in one area has to excel in all areas or else the sport is shit
What the fuck is this? Is that Steph Curry? Or a female fan wearing his jersey?
Kyrie is clearly a 2nd fiddle. Real stars look like Giannis KD Lebron Kawhi. They aren’t little shits.
Did anyone take a screencap of the sad mulatto girl?
That girl knows it's over
>brick lopez
i tried. kek
It's painful how shit Eastern Conference basketball is. I lost count of all the bricked open jumpshots and the missed bunnies in the paint. An injured Blake Griffin is literally still the best player on the Pistons by far.
>driving with giannis and lopez in front of you
what are they thinking?
please just have blake punch giannis or something
if you're going to set a NBA record 3 straight sweeps then we at least deserve to see malice at the palace pt. 2
The Greek Freak makes the 3, mah nigga!
>Blake is a warrior
what did he mean by this?
How the fuck is Drummond this fucking bad?
I came as soon as I could. Oh god it’s hilarious. What even were the chances?
reggie miller is an absolute downlow faggot with the most annoying nasally voice ever known, how the fuck is this halfnigger getting paid to talk
Blake is about to an hero.
Drummond is garbage what does he even do? Can't even rebound cot damn.
I don’t think you understand how important the brook Lopez signing was for the Bucks. He is a perfect match for Giannis because the inside out game and Lopez can protect the paint. Switch Lopez with that retard McGee and the bucks are a 50 win team and the Lakers are in the second round. Magic fucked up bad when he didn’t re-sign Lopez. That was way worse than losing Julius Randle who is basically T-Rex arms Lebron.
WHEN YOU TRY YOUR BEST BUT YOU DON'T SUCCEED
Stan van Gundy should be ashamed for fucking over detroit like this
because he's a mental fucking midget. he refuses to develop a game and just fucking pouts all game when something goes his way
i'm so fucking sick of his shit, there has to be a team that needs a starting PF
im done watching this shit show, i feel second had embarrassment for pissstains
It would just break Blake’s hand. Dude is soft.
>IF Kyrie goes God mode, he needs to match Giannis in scoring
I’m sure it’s not too much of a stretch to think Kyrie could catch Gianis on the overall sp. score board - especially given the fact that playoff KY is typically much sparkier than reg season KY
>4.) Giannis Antetokounmpo: 79,618 overall sp. rating
>5.) Kyrie Irving: 51,348 overall sp. rating
Dat euro step, beautiful.
Agreed I haven't watched an entire game with him commentating before and he's annoying as fuck.
they should probably just keep their hands behind their back when defending Giannis. Dazzling btw
>Drummond at PF
Certainly you mean coming off the bench right?
When was the last time Detroit fans had something to be happy about?
Nothing more cringe than platitudes from Reggie miller
Nah, the Lakers never used Lopez as a shooter, they had him be more of a typical center that didn't shoot much from the outside.
he did some things okay like get tobias harris and flip some assets, but he inherited a shitshow. it still is bad now, the contracts of jackson and drummond are just cancerous.
i'm fine with the blake trade though, dude is a superstar and carried >us the entire season.
brief run of happiness when the lions made the playoffs then got refballed, then before that in 2012ish they had the GOAT tigers team, then before that the red wings won some shit.
it's all bad dude
>Celtics sweep
>Bucks sweep
CRAPTORS can’t sweep the tragic
SHITSERS can’t sweep the neets
BOS/MIL winner wins the east
>Casey gets swept in back to back years
It’s eternal
blake is seething and depressed and about to slit his throat
Zaza deserved better bros. No Zaza, no Kawhi to Toronto
I understand that, I just didn't realize how badly giannis fucks the rest of the celtics. Unless that thicc nigga can somehow slow him down
griffin is an overpaid permaflushed bottom dwelling d leaguer
They would have used him correctly if they had a brilliant passer that commands double teams like Lebron

Fuck
I thought they were going to go to studio instead of showing the last 5 minutes
>fag
uhhhh bros?????????? are the buckshits who we thought they were??????????
The Clips got rid of him for good reason, he's good but not really a guy to build around on.
Yabusele will be the giannis stopper ez
>josh smith
>see you next series Celties
you do realize what kind of numbers he put up this season, correct? you do realize what numbers he put up the past 2 games on one fucking leg, correct?
by those metrics who have been good? he stayed healthy all season except for the end, not like it would have mattered given how awful this team is.
they are genuinely the worst roster in the league given the money. actually, i believe the wizards may have that honor
Blake looks so angry, like theres this expression of hopelessness on his face that wont go away. He doesnt even clap when his team scores, just sits there and stares off into space. Then after the game he goes back home to shit Detroit hahahahaha. Letting Blake go was pretty shitty, like how it was done but holy fuck its hilarious. He looks like he wants to die.
Celtics match up awful with Giannis. Morris is probably their best bet. Compare that to Toby or Spicy P/Kawhi.
*gets swept*
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAhAhAHhAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAHAHA I GUESS WE FOUND THE PROBLEM
>muh haven't won a playoff series
>muh regular season
>muh Giannis doesn't have a jumper
>muh 1st round exit
Bucks will beat the Celtics in 5-6 and then absolutely demolish the Craptors.
The day of the rake is nigh.
what is drummond's go to offensive maneuver
imagine being an extremely successful filthy rich pro athlete in the prime of your life and being married to a 46 year old woman
>who is dwayne wade
Josh Smith hasnt been on the Pistons since 2014....holy fuck dude 5 million. They gotta pay him next year too what a lucky mother fucker
DJ Wilson is lowkey cute
Why are Canadian posters so terrible?
I can't imagine how bad the Raptors game threads must be
Yup. Sure the Celtics sweep the Pacers but the games were close, the Bucks will beat them easily.
>it’s Giannis vs nobodies
>it’s kyrie vs a team whose best player was oladipo before the injury
Orlando could take a game off of anybody. They’re just that tricky.
I feel bad for the Nets. Too young and their coach is a maroon. They should’ve made their series go 6 games
>implying the craptors will get a chance to match up with either
What happens when two teams that only got past the first round by playing teams missing their franchise player meet?
>there was a moment in this game that the Pistons were winning
Hand off ball and stand still
get hacked, make one of two FTs
screen and stand there
Nets>Magic>Pistons
Just check their overall sp. ratings prior to playoffs. Not to mention, Bucks match pretty well with the Pistons style and play wise. Bucks had it easiest of the 3 this round.
I hope the bucks plane crashes
>detroit led by 6 at halftime
Westbrook stat effect. I'm a Clippers fan and seen Blake play since he's rookie year, he's not that guy that will take you the championship. Really athletic though.
it's literally the same 3 topics just recycled words each time
yep, sad state of things. i think he's still with the pelicans? i can't even remember
the problem was always defrozan. don't let wayne casey getting swept with this pitiful pistons team distract you from that
wrong, magic are and were better than nets
>westbrook stat effect
holy shit then you're a fucking retard, congrats, certainly the guy who contained giannis tonight and last game was just stat stuffing. certainly the guy who brought them to the playoffs and gave them a fighting chance is stat stuffing.
fantastic post, super informative!
based clippie chad
Dwayne Casey is a shit coach. How the fuck do you not run a 2 man game with Blake/Kennard
Better double check ur algorithms buddy
You know the Nets can still extend the series by winning tomorrow. I don't have my money on them, but stealing a win in Philly doesn't seem too outlandish.
>replying to posts with sp. rating in them
Kawhi is leaving
whats it called when u win a playoff series but the other team doesn't have their only good player?
you're replying to a guy addicted to LSD and hallucinated an entire ratings system
NEW FUCKING NBA RECORD BROS
12 STRAIGHT PLAYOFF LOSSES AKA 3 STRAIGHT SWEEPS
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
>T. Relies on personal bias rather than trusting the algo’s
There are worse fanbases that exist i.e. Philly battery throwing but the Raptors have the most annoying fans of any team. They're not witty, or funny, or scary, or passionate, they're just fucking obnoxious autists.
Did he though? Giannis was using that euro step to easily score on him, bad leg or not.
Holy
>containing giannis to 40 points
nice job blake
i didnt know nate silver posts on /nba/
>tonight
>40 points
lol
Don't tell me people actually go to the airport to celebrate a number one ranked team getting past the first round?
Well, it's not like the Milwaukee folk have anything else to do in their boring ass city.
They did it for the thunder a couple of times
it's the bucks, 1st playoff win in 36 years they said on TV
>holy shit then you're a fucking retard, congrats, certainly the guy who contained giannis tonight and last game was just stat stuffing. certainly the guy who brought them to the playoffs and gave them a fighting chance is stat stuffing.
>imagine losing even one game in the first round.
Absolutely Pathetic
you do realize that casey switched out griffin and drummond tonight to guard giannis, right? when blake was on him he was good just like game 3. everyone kept fouling giannis and sending him to the line, blake can't do anything about that
thanks for the analysis though!
They really gave Giannis twice as many FTs as the entire Pistons team lmao
You’re really tripping me out Larry!!
Bucks are about to sweep the Celtics beat the Raptors in 7 and then sweep Hardchoke after he does their dirty work. Hardchoke gets his ass handed to him by Bledsoe’s meme defense.
nah, last time they won a series was 2001 or 2002 when they had Redd and Ray Allen
last time they beat the Pistons in the playoffs was in 1984 or 85 though when they had that Sidney Moncrief team
Maybe the pistons should stop fucking fouling, especially that brown guy. Dumbest fucker I've ever seen on a court
You forgot the part where you wake up from your wet dream
why are buckfags so obsessed with my 'tors? scared much? go celebrate at the airport with your bucket of cheese.
>Game not starting until almost 11pm EST
