/nba/ General - Kawhi Kawaii edition

Blessed gif
Is Kawhi the new GOAT?

Friendly reminder that Kobe Bryant will go down as a better player than Kawhi unless Kawhi comes to the Lakers to win rings.

lmao niao hao bitch you tryna get the pipe?

This win was for the Hinkjinks. We finally vanquished the evil 76ers organization and ruined their entire """process""". Jimmy Buckets and Harris are leaving and your coach is getting sacked tomorrow morning.

The 76ers process came to a halt the moment they fired Hinkie. Vengeance is so sweet.

Imagine being Kawhi Leonard, being out for an entire season, and coming back this season and going to the ECF.

No matter what team Kawhi's on he'll take them far.

Sixers would have won if they just taught Ben how to shoot, dude is a joke offensively, you don't even have to shoot 3's just get a mid range game or learn fadeaways or something, you can't just be an inside player in a league of shooters.

This is the same reason the Bucks will get killed, teach that motherfucker to shoot.

worst timeline

Man, kawhi is good

God, the absolute butthurt from Skeeeup over Kawhi's shot is delicious.

Giannis isn't a good shooter but at least he can attempt and make jumpshots in a actual game, Simmons won't even try

He'll need to lay off the salt

Didn't Giannis actually had a somewhat servicable jump shot before Kidd became the head coach?

So is Jeremy Lin too trash to get any minutes now or what? Also OG played 0 minutes and Raptor fans were hyping him up last year.

Good games thanks adam silver
kinda a shame that harden and cp3 choked

OG's appendix burst the day before the playoffs. He cant play.

That sucks. Any chance he comes back in time for the ECF?

Man Stephen A. was constantly shit talking about the raptors and Milwaukee while keeping up the Boston Celtics mantra.

How’s hes gone and bandwagon Milwaukee because he doesn’t wanna keep going through the border. Lol

OG had an appendectomy right before postseason began so he's still out, and the Raptors could've legit used him since Nurse basically resorted to the "two bigs" lineup to deal with the 76ers for MOAR BOARDS

Probably not but he's with the team for the first time since the playoffs began. So maybe if it goes to game 7 or something.

I'll give giannis some props for at least developing something of a shother even ifor it still needs some work

they pay stephen a smith millions so he can go to hell. he literally just goes on the air and yells bullshit

I wouldn't want his job, the dude literally never sleeps. And is all over the fucking world at all times of the day, dude probably can't even enjoy it either because he's on flight after flight

"fun" is a strong word

The Rockets should hire Marc Jackson as their coach. He's defensive minded and he's what propeled GSW to what they are now. He also has the advantage of knowing their personal secrets and weaknesses. Do it Morey, let punished Marc get his revenge on his former team.

have you been tested for high BBIQ?

Good. The Rockets should stop focusing on distractions and Marc has the authority to reel them in.

nah marc jackson seems like a terrible choice. he's super preachy they will probably regress. dude is holding prayer service instead of basketball practice

hinkie?

guys like james harden don't respond to that. they had mchale a tough gritty hall of fame player and harden completely ignored him

Hinkie was the GM, not the coach.

>holding prayer service instead of basketball practice
we talkin bout practice?? really how much practice do they really need?

Harden won't ignore Jackson knowing that he's what made Steph who he is today. Plus black people respect other black people more.

he never cried you stupid gypsy. he was just mad

DeRozan would have won by 20....

you sound real dumb right now

don't wanna see Embiid acting like a tough guy anymore after crying on camera like that. Shoot better than 33% in a game and maybe don't be a FT merchant pussy.

Those dumbasses drafted Markelle Fultz, traded for Butler and Harris, and ended up with a squad that couldn't cut it in the worse conference.

The Process has been an utter failure, this team will never win a ship, and the city has suffered sub-20 win seasons for nothing.

hinkie was a mistake. larry proved it

are the sixers the zoomer version of lob city?

regular season bullies, perennial choke artists in the playoffs?

brett brown has to be fired after this, right?

Attached: 101573333993.jpg (835x960, 90K)

I can't tell you how much this Blazer win means to me. I grew up watching Shaq's alley oop, everyone's lower body exploding, unironically supporting the Greg Oden draft and experienced pretty much all the bad things that come along with being a perennial also ran. I paid money to go see Raymond Felton play point guard.

Lets take a look at the historical checklist for blazer suffering goes:
Bigs dead
refball vs small market
Mational media vs small market
Star players underperforming
Disastrous bench play
Huge talent discrepancies

Everything that has historically gone wrong for Blazer teams in the past have happened in one season alone. Either right before or during the playoffs. They still won. They are indisputably one of the top two TEAMS in the hardest conference and one of the top four in the whole league. This is what we have wished for a long long time.

You literally need to be a god to win with Knicks lmao

Nope. He honestly took the team beyond what their reasonable potential was.

It's a poorly constructed roster.

why would he be fired? it’s not like he could unfuck embiid’s health or block a miraculous buzzer beater

how many niggas you think AI has iced

JV would have dunked the game winner....

3 straight empty possessions with one being out of a timeout in a game 7

probably but he shouldn't. Dude is a miracle worker and the 2 biggest issues with the team are Embiid's health and Simmons hatred for the rim. That roster also isn't all that good but people will ignore it because muh "stars"

i'm getting real tired of your shit

Kawhi is a bot who can't lead

>players start choking
>brown somehow controls this

I don't think any coach could stop Jimmy/Embiid from pounding the rock for 20 seconds only to pass to a severely guarded person. Those are the types of situations where your stars make plays

Do you think Demar watched the game

Attached: 1483468950414.jpg (472x472, 151K)

Probably not as a casual observer

Brett Brown unironically looked more solid than Nick Nurse throughout the series.

>Drafted Markelle Fultz

Drafting him wasn't even the worst part, but they traded up by trading an extra first round pick (2019 SAC) to Boston just so they could draft him first overall.

>Bryan Colangelo was the GM when this shit happened (along with drafting Ben Simmons)

Not even fucking once

>Bryan Colangelo
what ever happened in that comment scandal?

he was fired dingus
silver was probably not happy

is kyrie really going to the lakers?

nick nurse looked like an utter fraud and should be licking Kawhi's balls all night long. How are you just going to let Harris guard Gasol all series long and not abuse him? Get lit up by Butler but still have Kawhi on simmons? Keep playing van fleet (I guess he played sorta ok today)? Dude got bailed out hard as fuck

Hopefully sooner rather than later.

A shot? Sure. It's like 1/4 but it's not 0.

Did /nba/ give the 16-17 spurs any shot against the cockshits before that series began and then especially after game one?

Except this raptors team is actually better than the Bucks and you might actually be a retarded sports blogger if you think otherwise.

the difference is that GSW has 5 all stars. there is ONE player on the raptors who contributes, and 4 other guys who prevent massive runs against the team. the raptors bench is a defensive black hole and gets bullied to hell

how based is frank vogel?

why you post kobe? fuck face

Honestly it’s the people above him and his players that deserve more responsibility for this failure. FO went all in hoping the 2 stars were ready when anyone could tell you they’re not from a talent standpoint and especially a mental standpoint. They’re not even compatible with eachother considering their skill sets limiting the others. Game 6 of this series and game 3 in Brooklyn was proof that Simmons’s is not playing a proper role. Changing Coachs doesn’t have an effect on embiids health or Simmioms being able to learn a jumpshot. That said Brown is scapegoat fodder if they double down on keeping both of them.

The only winners in philly though are Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris. They’re about to get paid for being more consistent that the 2 dudes on the team that the league hails as up coming superstars, especially Mr “Greastest Big Man Ever” Embiid.

The Raptors traded their most loyal player for a one year rental superstar.

They may be cheering for Kawhi now, but they'll be the first ones to boo him out of Canada once he leaves. Doesn't matter if they beat the Bucks or get squashed by the Warriors.

His uncle pulled him out of San Antonio prematurely so he can stay in LA, he'll be a Clipper or a Laker.

Jeremy Lamb would have made that shot from across the court just saying

They aren't better without Durant. Klay Thomas and the role players get theirs when Durant doesn't iso and clap for the ball but Durant is still the reason they've been the heavy favorites they are since 2016

Kawhi is already better than Kobe

The man speaks as if nothing is ultimately in his control, which is nice for a guy tripping on shrooms, but not a fucking coach.

DeRozan had to go, but Casey should have stayed. Fucking ujiri

Unofficial mascot of the Blue Jays. Always gets interviewed and never plays.

I disagree, 76ers just had a bulletproof strategy for most of the games.
Firstly, they can't shoot. Not even on their own nets. I hypothesize their arena is built on a slope. We saw when raptors are at home their FG go up. Second, they controlled the paint. They got more RBs on both sides. They played the numbers game and managed to edge raps out on margin, 3/7 times (duh). Only reason craps won was because we were good enough to survive their attrition tactics.

I miss John Wall.

SKIP IS ACTUALLY HAPPY FOR NO.2!!

that was kid cudi

Dumb answer. Lakers-Celtics took 7 games and both are elite.

The real answer is, these are two unlikely scenarios added together. Buzzer beaters to end the game aren't that common. And doing so in game 7 of the playoffs is even more unlikely.

I've heard Yao Ming was the product of a Chinese breeding program to make great athletes.

Even if it's not true, could you imagine if countries starting doing this? I don't want to sound like an advocate of eugenics, but think of the freak athletes that would be born as a result.

Muny was the mascot for Cubs for a season too. He just relegated his role after the first year with Jays knowing he wouldn't be anything in MLB more than a util guy at that point.

Why did Kawhi squat after he shot? Was it autism?

wait so did drake miss out the opportunity to see the greatest shot in raptors history in person?

You know if he was there the rapties would have lost. Drake curse kills clutch.

LeBron was the only exception to the rule.

Went to Minnesota the other day to visit family. Lots of bandwagon Bucks fans there now.

Nah he matches up well with Brook

Uhm... yes. The Raptors have a Champion and the best player in the league still playing. The Bucks have mental midgets and have shown their weakness. The Raptors now have a way to contain the Bucks offense, much like how the Bears exposed the Rams offense by taking away the run and hence the play action, and then the Patriots just ran the Bears defensive scheme to win the Owl.

Butler, easily.

People were giving dame shit last night for getting bailed out by CJ. That said in every instance you provided for someone getting shit on it's because they lost. Lowry has been playing extremely inconsistently for most of the playoffs so of course he's going to get shit on. Hell Bledsoe got shit on for a sloppy game in Boston despite the fact the Bucks won.

How can you say that Kawhi is straight up better than Giannis at this point. When did Milwuakee show weakness? It wasn't against the Pistons or Celtics. Speaking of weak-minded manlets, Kyle Lowry is right at the top of that list.

Bucks are going to win the chip

Or more likely Kobe fans that’s don’t wanna be reminded of 5/22

After losing in the ECF this year, Milwaukee will go another 18 years before getting out of the first round.

Kawhi is a better defender (particularly on the perimeter) than Giannis. Kawhi is a better shooter (particularly in the clutch) than Giannis. All Giannis has on him is low post and dunks. Kawhi will end Giannis just like he ended that other foreigner from Africa.

Greek/Canadian and looking forward to this ECF more than anything else. Been watching basketball since we had Vince, Mo Pete, JYD, etc. Those guys were awesome, and I haven't liked an iteration of the Raps as much since this one with Kawhi.

Bucks have proven they're consistently good. No doubt they'll be the hardest opponents yet, but I think a lot of the Raps' struggles in the Sixers series were their own offensive deficiencies. Just gotta hope for better shooting and for Lowry's thumb to heal.

He’s already a two time champ, now he wants to lend his veteran experience to another contender

So why did he sign with Toronto

lillard shooting was off on game 2 and 7. last night however he didnt take any forced shots, he tried to get in shooting rhythm but just couldnt. impressively though that did not stop him from having an impact in the overall game energy-wise, defense-wise, passing-wise etc. although he gave room to CJ who was red hot and scoring any way imaginable

I haven’t followed the blazers for a few years, wtf happened to cj? Last I remember he got a radio show in Portland and I thought it was good for him because his nba career was going nowhere. He seemed like a permanent bench player at best, at best. Is he really that good or or are the playoffs a fluke? He can’t be that good, players don’t just magically get that good overnight

Imagine if that shit didn't enter, they play OT and win. Would he be able to score 18 more?

*tears his acl*

in 5 minutes? probably not

Based spoiler poster ruining game of shit for the normies lurking here

He scored like 12 in 4 minutes during the 4th iirc

come on he was never that bad, just never an all star.

he's been very improved this year. he has a mcgradyesque flair and huuuge scoring versatility. he can drive, iso, shoot , float , you name it, and without having to flop and take contact to go to the FT line.
if he is surrounded by a team of good defenders and has lillard at PG he is a great fit

Not the best of writing, but it makes sense. GRRM spend a 13 years writing the first 5 seasons, which was made it so good. The following 3 seasons were written by directors, not screen writers, in the span of 4 years.

if KD isn't close to full health for the inevitable series against the Raptors/Bucks, are the Warriors in trouble? If Giannis or Kawhi can float and wreak havoc and not have to key in on KD the Warriors offense is going to be fucked.

They’re only in trouble if Boogie actually does play again this postseason - he makes them way, way worse and he’ll be even worse than usual because he’ll be hobbled. He can be abused over and over again in the PnR

For real though, the Sixers' play design in the 4th quarter was brutally bad. That, plus the fact they couldn't for their life grab a defensive rebound, killed them. It's amazing they kept the game so close despite almost everything going wrong that could go wrong.

They can play elite defense. Especially if OG can come back and help the small bench. Philly couldnt even get a shot off 3 possession in a row at the end of game 7. So yeah elite defense and a superstar.

Trust me. Philly didn't win, the Bears lost. This was a game the Bears should have easily won. But, their kicker missed a crucial field goal, that was well within the range for the average NFL kicker to hit over 90% of the time.

Players like Ben Simmons are why I hate drafting high potential rookies who lack critical nba basketball skills.

>HE COULD BE MAGIC JOHNSON

Who fucking cares, not only he can't shoot a 3 pointer, he can't even shoot a jumpshot, anything that isn't an easy layup. No amount of assists and teamball will help that. Rather draft some vanilla role player who plays defense and shoots off passes.

Tatum would be an upgrade over Harris

I think Zion might end up in same way as Simmons, last couple of years the "obvious" first pick generational talents have been little better than average NBA player while ones later on seem to be doing good. Suns and 6ers are especially lazy

Despite the fact Simmons has to change his last name to Leonard after the beatdown he took in everygame I don't think Kawhi will be able to do the same in the next Round. The bucks are built for Giannis and they have a deep bench who can actually score. Siakam, Gasol, Lowry and company have to step up. And by step up I don't mind 7-10 points. Good thing that almost everyone on the team is a great defender, it mitigates the fact the team is literally Kawhi + role players.
