You need to spark on over to the interwebz and do some research instead of relying on your uneducated personal bias, user. LSD is used to cure addiction. Not cause it.
...and As for sparky abandoning us...No, personally I believe sparks user is laying low for the moment, reserving his spark for the spark-to-flame transformation needed to compile all of the /spARKY’s News, Game Reviews, Updates and stats for us.

I would mostly agree with this post. Although, 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.
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 semi-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. Time will tell.

Camden Russell
The current GM James Jones pretty much got promoted from interim GM after the previous one Ryan McDonough was sacked right before this season began, so he'll probably want to find his own coach
>Imagine sacking a coach just after one season when the team had no real point guard
Justin Brown
If Utah reverse sweeps the Rockets I will interpret it as proof from God that the Book of Mormon is true
Sebastian Myers
Not likely. You might wanna recheck your algorithms, user. Dubs look sparky af this post season tbqf. They’re clearly better with Cousins out and Bogut back in the rotation - they got their old spark back!
Rockets - yea anything’s possible. I mean they missed 27 straight threes to choke away the chip to GS last year. And history can repeat itself.. Also, the Candybread Elite7’s most recent system data logs show that Harden’s spark-to-flame transformation likely occurred in a rather dampened environment. So yea, Rockets may choke, but Dubs will most definitely not.
Brody Allen

Love + an obstacle = Passion
Many times when the passion drops out of a relationship it’s not bc two people that were in love are no longer compatable, it’s bc sexual novelty is being craved by both parties - a new game, a new goal. Think of all the great romance stories/movies. The spark of the relationship was always an obstacle- Romio and Juliet, Leo and Rose, forbidden love, sacrifice, PASSION!! Something had to be overcome for the love to be enjoyed so it was hot. Same reason cheating is so fun - it’s forbidden, it’s hot, sparks will fly!
Also, keep in mind men and women are sexually being pulled about by forces which are not completely within their control. There are so many factors at play here, the best you can do is to try to have empathy and love your partner. We are all constantly changing the way we perceive and act around each other based on our interpretation and reaction to shifting stimulus which are largely out of our control.
For example, several studies have concluded that birth control affects what a woman is sexually attracted to. The consensus seems to be that women on birth control are more attracted to men with lower levels of testosterone. This is just one factor of thousands that can change in a relationship, but is no doubt responsible for a lot of infedelify - especially and specifically around time that many couples are trying to conceive, due to the fact that this is the time in which the female will stop using birth control, and then experience drastic swings in who she is attracted to
These matters are so complex user. My significant other and I routinely take trips and have bonded a transformational transcendent sexual experiences and conversations while frying balls completely open and honest connected with each other. Whenever the spark fades for us, we go for a three-way with the lady in the sky with diamonds and it’s worked for over a decade. You have my sparks and prayers, user best of luck.
Andrew Perry
Why are people acting like the Bucks will roflstomp the Celtics? Even without Oladipo the Pacers are a better team than the Pistons. Sweeping them is impressive for Boston, the Bucks should watch out.
Luke Long
because the celtics need a guy like hayward to play well and we all know that isn't gonna happen
Brandon Torres
Because the Pacers are so undermanned and the Celtics didn't dab on them like the Bucks did with the Pistons.
The Celtics only pulled away in the second half for all 4 games and Kyrie was dogshit for the last 2 games. They're grossly inconsistent hence why people don't see much of them other than a 2nd round exit.
Last year Tatum, Brown and Rozier were each scoring 20 and it still was not enough to beat the Cucks on the road. Now the Cucks have HCA, the refs willing to give them 40 free throws and Adam Silver wanting Giannis to be the next face of the NBA its easy to discount the Celtics.

Isn’t the problem with the Suns firing their coaches less to do with the firing and more to do with no-one trusting Sarver? They didn’t have a good roster but was anyone really convinced by their coach?
Robert Sanchez
Sarver is a kike owner trying to penny-pinch in a small market, with predictable results desu.
Joseph Adams
>19 wins in a season where the franchise expected to flip the switch to competitiveness
Kokoskov didnt perform with enough spark to deserve to keep his job. Don’t feel sorry for him.
Asher Taylor
Penny-pinching doesn’t make a team the worst in the league. They’re just badly-run, in large part to an incompetent and highly involved owner.
They need to put a competent roster together and find a competent coach and stick with him for a couple of years. I don’t buy into “winning culture” BS but basic organisational competence and stability is underrated and can be more valuable than a high draft pick. Getting top players hasn’t stopped Minnesota and New Orleans being a shitshow
Noah Miller
>Larry feeling insecure bc /sparks/ is getting all the credit for being right now
I bet Larry feels a bit like Woody did when Buzz came to town... Better built, more advanced, new sparky poster comes into Andy’s thread and starts sparking things up. Woody was absolutely BTFO and dominated by Buzz in that situation too!
I feel like there are so many parallels that can be drawn between the two story arcs of “Woody vs. Buzz” and “Larry vs. sparks”.. in the end, I guess we can only hope that Sparks/Larry will meet the same fate as Buzz/Woody, who were able to set aside their differences in pursuit of something much more important - a blossoming friendship. And I think I can speak for pretty much everyone here when I say that we’re all praying that Larry will one day learn to finally set aside his emotional biases, post with a bit less hate, and above all trust the advanced algorithms.
Austin Bailey
Pop about to crack 100k.
Lincoln Adams
I just stand in absolute awe as year after year, he’s drafting and molding these gems. Look what he did with White for sparkssake, it’s like he’s casting magical energized spark onto this ragtag bunch, transferring his power. If he can manage to somehow push this series to 7, I think he’ll break 100k for sure. Personally I have a feeling the Nuggets might be in for an upset.. they could get booted out a bit early if they don’t harnesss a spark of their own - of course the algorithms will have the final say in how we rate the matter tho, regardless of my opinion or any biases I hold towards the great sparky pop and his magical sparky touch for selecting a crafting playoff caliber players and teams. God damn I fucking love spurs basketball!
Wyatt Cook
I drink your milkshake, Chuck. I DRINK IT UP!
Sebastian Clark

I also noticed your algos are giving the Nuggs a 70% chance of advancing. I don't know the methods obviously, but Pop may have something we don't quite understand. A creative spark that's hard to put into algo form.
Ayden Lopez
>AHH, KENNY HELP ME! I CAN'T STOP THE SHAW
Ian Murphy
Quite right you are user, although I do trust the algorithms I believe that every once in a while, a coach like pop will attract the sparkiest of circumstances to materialize in his favor. With the series neck and neck, The S.P.A.R.K. Rating System does put the Spurs at only a ~25%% of advancing, but remember, 1/4 is not terrible odds, and especially when you’ve got pop with the proven, lasting spark on your side! Nuggets undoubtedly have the higher rated collection of players, but spurs have the overall more durable team-spark. I’ll stay optimistic and keep reporting the stats and ratings unbiasedly, while continuing to pull for pop and the sparky spurs

>I'm a simple shitposter

>I'm a simple shitposter
>simple shitposter
Simple shitposting is in no way relatable to what sparks is doing here. It’s no wonder you don’t get it. to bring unbiased accurate team and player ratings to this general is to be happy for sparks user. You do what brings you joy and let sparks do what brings him joy. Everyone is on their own path, user.
Sparks doesn’t hate Curry, he just lives by his values and posts unbiasedly. Always. Regardless of who’s involved. Just bc sparks doesn’t become a full-fledged groupie for the players/teams he respects, does not mean he “hates” them. For too long ratings lists on /nba/ have been posted by those who simply pick a favorite player/team and then warp all stats and info to fit their personal biases. I’ve seen countless posts making ridiculous assertions, hailing this guy as “GOAT” and that guy as “shit”, but they don’t even consult the algorithms or bother to calibrate their machines correctly!
It’s understandable that you may be questioning what /spARKYS motives are and where his allegiances lie. After all We’ve grown up in a mostly sparkless society and We’ve been conditioned our entire lives to avoid sparky situations. My advice is to consult the countless examples in the /spARKY 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!

LeBron + shooters + deferring to Kyrie ISOs. One of the most fun teams to watch ever because of how individually skilled Kyrie and LeBron were. It's a shame Golden State killed all competition by adding Kevin Durant. Could have had a Lakers-Celtics esque rivalry.

>LeShit copeposting to this level
If you look up the definition of cancer, The literal definition tells you why LeCancer continues to push sparky players away from himself. It’s in his very nature by definition, user:
>Normally cells (nba players) grow, divide and die.
>Cancer begins when a normal cell (Baby Lebron) mutates, or changes, (post-media-hype Lebron) and is not able to repair itself (3-6, choke, cramp). The damaged cell (LeDrama) then keeps multiplying (switching teams) and creates a tumor (Lakers).
“Lebron” is the same thing as Lebron’s ego. Until he drops his ego and learns conduct himself in a more sparky manner, his overall sp. score will continue to reflect his cancerous tendencies and sparky players such as KY will continue to ditch him for less damp environments.

LeChoke consistently gets shut down in the finals by players with much lower status and expectations to shine placed on them. When it’s his chance to prove he’s got the “it” factor, that’s precisely the time he lets others outshine him.
>He averaged 36pts that series
For what?? To lose??..Lebron chokes on the big stage time and again, simple as that. Is it not tiring to say he has no help? He's had 15 season to build chemistry with his own Pippen.. Or maybe he's not the player your mind wanted him to be. 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 and lastly, how do you protect the ball... Turnovers... Don't let the media persuade you. Lebron is a physical freight train with an ego too big and a mentality too weak for the big stage.
Kevin Jones
Liam Davis
Warriors did the biggest chokejob in the history of the finals tho
Lucas Lopez
Which, un ironically, set them up to go for a three-peat by signing KD, that finals, while great as it was, ultimately helped in killing the NBA
Christopher Anderson
Ahh yes he shut LeBron down to 35 points per game. This sub has no idea what they're talking about. Curry deserved that finals MVP
Colton Phillips
His efficiency was awful, especially when Iguodala was on him. He got shut down almost every time he went iso against Iggy.
Jordan Robinson
Steven Corey and Clay Anderson are trash. They need Durant to win.
Jose Perry
Dubs are 3-1 (75%) in the past 4 years tho. The algorithms show that they’re heavily favored to make it 4-1 (80%) this year. Also, refball came into play in 16’ with the suspension of green and other factors. I can’t completely excuse the Dubs for the loss, they had their chances. and I of course give all due clutch credit for the Cavs win in that series to KY. Lebron performed well but was not the deciding factor of the series - KY was.
Lebron is 3-6. 33% losing record in the finals. He consistently chokes. He also doesn’t have any signature moments in the finals or even signature moves (besides raising his arm up and shoving defensers away while robotically muscling his way to the rim).
Dubs have a sparky winning rate as a team; they are not known chokers. LeBron has a damp losing mentality as a person. He is a known high caliber choke artist.
William Baker
being allowed to hack lebron on every play probably helps. let's stop pretending that the warriors don't enjoy the advantage of refball each and every single time
Robert Peterson
Remember when LeBron made one of the most athletic plays in sports history with the chasedown block on Iguodala during the final moments of the greatest comeback of all time? Every warriors ring is a fraud ring. They get a quarter credit on the 2015 ring. LeBron had one of the best finals performances of all time but his second and third best players were injured. Curry or Durant could never carry a team like that.
Jonathan Roberts

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, Boston).. but since all the wieght of the game is on his shoulders, BY HIS DESIGN, and of course it’s bound to fall apart since Lebron himself is bound to fall apart in the clutch.

Looks like you’re just another advocate of the updated P.O.R.K.I.E.S. rating system!!! It’s funny how every time I make a S.P.A.R.K. related post, Every. Single. Time. All of the sudden, out of the wood work will come 1 user, and then 2 anons, and then 3, all seemingly random anons that are suspiciously hell bent on discrediting S.P.A.R.K.S. And trying to replace it with P.O.R.K.I.E.’S. subpar, aged and increasingly unpopular rating system! And now I suppose you’re going to tell me about how your outdated LarryLOAF Pro2.4 engine outstrips S.P.A.R.K.S. CandyBread Elite7 engine??!? even though LarryLOAF Pro2.4 only simulates a fraction of the games and takes practically 10x as long to do it. You and your employees are paid to use a system which has been proven time and time again to be inferior... TO WHICH I MIGHT ADD, still doesn’t predict player stats or game outcomes within a 14% margin of what S.P.A.R.K. can do. Nobody uses P.O.R.K.I.E.S. anymore, face it, your sickly, undependable joke of a rating system has been replaced and voted out. So why don’t you paid P.O.R.K.I.E.S. shills crawl back under the dirty, dark, damp rock you all came from and stop trying to discredit the better, clearly superior system, simply because you’re afraid that YOUR OWN spark will be going out once and for all!

that’s good to hear, user. Stick to little coffee cup posting. It no doubt brings joy to the hearts of those whose sparks have become largely redundant. A new perspective shift can often be ignited thru sparking of certain new repetitive pattern building posts.

/spARKY updates 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.
I believe, as most do, that every spark has at least a chance at becoming a flame. 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. and I’m just here to give a spark to those in need

Sorry to say, but your opinion on Kawhi and KD still 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 “Anti-bias-checker.spk” file. Once your system management profile has prompted you to confirm the updated load order, simply select “YES”, then select “SPARK” on the next screen, and then proceed to re-run your results. I think then you’ll see that there is >1% chance of either KD or Kawhi going to the Clippers (or any where for that matter - they stayin’ put)

If you really want to know who spARKY is, you’ll need to do your research and follow his updates and ratings. Although sparky is a man shrouded in mystery, I’ve picked up on his particular interest in teams displaying good ol’ fashion team-spark, such as the GS and the Spurs. He can also be found pointing out the many fallacies posted here which support players who’s spark is largely overhyped, such as Lebron and Harden.
It’s almost as if sparks user truly takes a liking to players, coaches and teams who are ACTUALLY sparky, and bases his predictions on the Candybread Elite7 rating engine, rather than from personal bias and media manipulation.
“Who is he”, you ask? personally I believe sparks user is the foretold savior of /nba/, the one who will restore balance and reason to this board, bringing an end to the insistent biased-based list postings, and ushering in a new golden age of sparky stats, ratings, metrics and predictions!..
..But nobody truly knows who, or WHAT, sparks user really is, it’s anyone’s guess..
As to S.P.A.R.K’s origins, this is from their official page:
>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. S.P.A.R.K.s allows us to finally perceive the NBA as it actually appears.
Jace Hughes
I’m not gonna do all your research for you, but this is more 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.

Hes definitely not staying in Toronto. He cucked you guys out of 22 games of salary this year because he's saving himself for a team he actually wants to play for.

If the starters allow the Tragic double digits in the 1Q, they are frauds
Benjamin Brown
This reminds me of when Raptors went 40 up on the Lakers in the 1st Q lmao
Lucas Harris
>ancient history
John Wood
21 point lead is just 7 threes from being tied.
Julian Collins
The magics aren't even trying
Chase Flores
My raptor isn't even up 20 after the first quarter... FUCKING FRAUDS
Jason Diaz
Why does Toronto say We the North when there are three other teams more Northern then them?
Jeremiah Cook
Are rebounds really that important?
Asher Nguyen
Yeah, I’m thinking Lowry’s back
Gabriel Young
i never understood that. is it like "We, the North" or some quasi-nig shit where they don't say the fucking verb?
Josiah Barnes
How do I meme pass like Lowry?
Camden Campbell
Toronto is more northern in relation to the sea level
Colton Price
It would be like the Hornets saying We the East or Phoenix saying We the West.
Its a good thing the Sonics and Grizzlies relocated or the raps would be in 6th place as far as northern most teams. It looked like:
>Grizzlies
>Sonics
>Blazers
>T Wolves
>Bucks
>Raptors
Lincoln Ross
Ibaka literally eats dicks.
Benjamin Collins
cause we own this bitch
Adam Ward
Why is Toronto in the Atlantic division when they are nowhere near the Atlantic ocean?
Ryder Phillips
kawhi as well
Brayden Morales
cause they are frauds
Jayden Reyes
Until the second round.
Cooper Gray
Because sports leagues are retarded and care more about money than logic
Carson Brown
youtube.com
The biggest Baller on Youtube
Zachary Cox
>Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association
>Is actually international
Jose Carter
Why are you stupid enough to think that the team slogan would be claiming to be the northernmost city and not something like the best in the north?
Christian Jones
But Milwaukee is both more northern and better at basketball...
Jeremiah Evans
Because they represent all of Canada, not just Toronto.
Noah Hernandez
Maybe better at being refbabbies, but not basketball
Asher Mitchell
those other teams dont matter
also the saying isnt We the Northernmost
go back to school
Jacob Russell
Yeah
Aaron Morgan
Bucks are better than you
Julian Thomas
LMAO
James Rivera
What?
Leo Fisher
Wrong again
t. Kawhi
I'm signing a 10 year deal with my raptor btw
Juan Flores
B A S E D
Anthony Moore
How many NBA finals have the Raptors been too?
Parker Russell
nets vs sixers gamethread with only 1 typo
Lincoln Edwards
didn't Fultz get traded to the Magic? why are they not playing him or is his jumpshot still fucked?
Sebastian Reed
he does whatever the guy sleeping with his mom tells him to do
Jose Robinson
Jesus christ the east playoffs have been so shit this year. Pacers, Magic, Nets, and Pistons have no business even being involved.
Brody Gomez
He's terminally shook to the core. That nigga gonna be warming benches in China in 2 years.
Gabriel Parker
I guess philly and the leafs are ready for the next round
Jacob Hernandez
China teams get like 3 slots for foreign players. They aren't going to waste them on Fultz.
Brayden Fisher
Well Spain or Turkey then.
Owen Perez
Just like 80% of the eastern conference
Aaron Sullivan
Even worse when you realize the refs gifted the nets about 10 of those points
Nathan Johnson
Exactly. I think it just boils down to the fact that /spARKY’s spARK is on a different trajectory these days. Everyone knows a spark becomes a flame, sure, but /spARKY’s sparks have consequentialy altered our perception of his spark-to-flame transformation. 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. Either that, or maybe sparky sparked a bit too soon. Who really knows for sure..?
Ethan Williams
its pretty obvious now why raptors and bucks won so many games, half of their schedule is vs G league teams
Dominic Bennett
Celtics are screwed.
Bentley Long
>Guy dunks on another
>Refs give him a T for it
Nolan Lee
markus shart will save us from the bench
Leo Thompson
Oh nooo
Isaiah Hall
snakes looking sparky af, damn!
Noah White
Who was the Janetty on the Raptors? DeFrozen or Lowry? Or were they both the Janetty?
Michael Hill
If I was the Mavs now I wouldn't bother with Vucevic
Aaron Peterson
my snakes :)
Nolan Lee
It was Casey
Cooper Hernandez
After points, what are the most important stats?
Carson Rogers
AST probably
Carson Lewis
What attribute should I upgrade the most in 2k?
Dominic Evans
BBIQ
Hudson Davis
height
Sebastian Martinez
I think the Bucks will beat the Warriors in the finals. A team of B tier Super Stars doesn’t beat MJ.
Jaxson Lewis
How can the Sixers win this?
Noah Ward
I’m beginning to think this as well. Giannis is just too good to be stopped. If you can’t stop somebody from scoring what do you do? He is a 7ft Lebron with an MJ mentality.
Brayden Evans
Caleb Russell
benis
Blake Taylor
I think the Bucks will beat them too, they've got shooting for days, and match up well, plus Brogdon should be back
Alexander Powell
All of Florida can lick my balls and ass
Julian Johnson
damn cuz, yall didn't have to step on they necks like that
Gavin Morris
>the shitty of you
get fucked you stupid bitch
Angel Perez
My dude... your snakes shown’ up rn! playin’ solid D, holdin the Nets to 31 in a half. Nothin but respect and appreciation for good basketball. Embiid’s been down right impressive. I would expect a serious bump in his overall sp. rating if he can show up in the 2nd half with the same kinda spark he showed in the first
Austin Nguyen
Celtics fans are mentally ill and think they're some kind of anime protagonist that just wins in the end no matter what
Justin Wilson
68-31
Jose Johnson
no
Jeremiah Gray
Why didn't Matty and Jack get drake to do some commentary in garbage time bros?
Colton Young
Reminder that this information should be used to responsibly respect based /snakes/ (not to shit on the poor unsparky nets)
Ryder Scott
See you in the Finals, Raptors
Lincoln Turner
a 39 point lead in Philadelphia
Jace Wood
should i make the nugs spurs thread or wait for a fan of team?
Jack Smith
prepare for influx of leaf bandwagoners
Jordan Jones
See you there, Blazers
Eli Brooks
yeah im kind of dreading this
Christian Turner
gamethread
Kevin Walker
now that the preliminaries are over ECSF gonna be fucking lit
Tyler Allen
i seriously hope none of you actually think milwaukee will beat my celties
Jayden Robinson
>"I have great respect for Wilt. When I was with the Lakers, he never missed a practice or a game, or was late for a plane. If I asked him to make an appearance, he did it. This man has gone through life with a bad rap. We are talking about a very good person."
--Fred Schaus, Tall Tales (by Terry Pluto) p. 334
>Wilt was a good person
...at least according to this man’s account.
Threadly reminder to always be a good person in everything you do. Live with love and sparks and fuck all that other noise
Ethan Cox
>faggoty Drake curse
>Tor never winning consecutive playoff road games
>Tor never closing a series in 5 or less
Not on their watch. No more unsanctioned buffoonery.
Zachary Howard
wilt was super generous with his time and money and was the best athlete-actor ever
Parker Phillips
>Spurs starting with a spark
>that dunk by Jokic
Fuck yes this gonna be good
Cooper Williams
It think it’s time to admit the Bucks are the favorites to win it all.
No Boogie
Drayboon sucks
No Bench
Iggy old as shit
No rim protection
How can this beat Giannis? The would need to meme extreme.
William Morales
Boston is gonna beat Milwaukee. Don’t even mention the Warriors.
Gabriel Nelson
Clifford picked Milwaukee to come out of the east, the salty fuck
Jaxon Adams
shut up hyou stupid faggot
Julian Fisher
"Just remember michael when you played they changed all the rules to make it easier for you to dominate. When I played they changed all the rules to make it harder for me" -Wilt to Michael Jordan ending an intense back an forth debate about who was the greatest player of all time.
Michael Moore
what about Terry Crews? The Rock? Ray Allen?
Austin Morales
nothing any of them have done can touch the greatness of conan the destroyer
Anthony Garcia
MY RAPTOR
David Wilson
bodybuilders aren't athletes
Hudson Garcia
What the fuck are you talking about
Henry Jones
Derozan for Luke Kennard, some expiring contracts, and draft picks. Who says no?
Ian Hernandez
I assumed you were implying that Arnold Schwarzenegger was an actor-athlete
Luis Powell
are you retarded or something? why didn't you read before posting?
Landon Morales
I don’t know what rating system you used to reach your overall imapct score for each of the factors you listed prior to plugging them into your algorithms. But it doesn’t appear your machine is even capable of simultaneously sorting and processing various variable such as Iggy’s age or Cousin’s injuries. Dubs are stronger and more dominant than ever. whichever subpar rating system your currently using to base your posts off, (hopefully not P.O.R.K.I.E.S. for sparkssake) needs to have it’s multi-variable factor threading abilities enabled. It is this technology to accurately and reliably produce rating metrics and probable outcomes.
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!?
Aaron Taylor
Bucks gonna dab on the Celshits
Bucks in 5
Bentley Sullivan
Fucking boomers using Sparks instead of PLOP.
Camden Myers
truth is: if embiid had a good footwork he would be unstopable
Nathan Ramirez
I don’t really trust PLOPS because I’m not reallly familiar with it’s algorithms or it’s rating engine. I do trust S.P.A.R.K.S. though because I know it runs on a custom built Candybread Elite7 rating engine which factors into consideration the tracking and impact estimates of team/player injuries, the physical and possible mental ramifications of past events, trades, press, and other player transactions, head-to-head results, margin of victory over similar opponents, and rated 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.
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.
Jackson Phillips
its admittedly quite likely that the celtics sweep the bucks
Ethan Thomas
Vucevic just got asked the money question point-blank: Is he gone from Orlando and joining the free agency clas of 2019?
>I'll address that later in the off-season
Translation: Not now, ask me again later. He already has his decision in mind, he's only thinking about timing. He gone.
Dylan Myers
thanks for translating english into english for me I really needed that
Jordan Martin
Bucks win, but GIannis tears his ACL
John Carter
Whoever pays that choker is retarded
Leo Lewis
who is desperate has cap space and plays in a market too shitty to sign a real free agent?
Andrew Fisher
retarded you say
Dominic Reed
knicks are getting durant and kemba tho
Brandon Harris
Celts struggled with Indiana defense, they're not beating the number 1 defense and Mil has way better offense than the choking Pacers. Sorry to say, but Celts lose and Kyrie gone
Blake Sanchez
Sounds like the lakeshits to be
Jayden Morris
the last time the knicks had money in a big free agency class they thought that they would get Lebron or Wade, but ended up with no knees stat. Nothing has changed since then. I'll believe all the knicks hype when I see it
Levi Bennett
thanks, its appreciated. I made this a few years ago and still need to go back and fix the perspective on the lamp logo haha.
Charles Howard
you nervous orlyfag?
The correct pr answer shouldve been
>I'm not thinking about that right now, bla bla congrats to the [opponent] they played well bla bla i love and respect my coaches and team bla bla
but he had to bait the hook
Cooper Smith
new
Austin Anderson
nude when?
Robert Lopez
...
Kayden Butler
>he didn't know that Wilt was in the Conan sequel
yikes!
Eli Jackson
Ryan Johnson
Not again Larry!!! Oh, no!!!
Caleb Wilson
what is wrong with you
