What are laker fans really gonna do?

Curry is a better 3-point shooter than Kawhi because he has similar efficiency despite taking 3 times as many shots. Taking more shots with the same efficiency means you're a better shooter.

obviously Kawhi is a better player overall but that's not an insult by any means

You're welcome. Mr.Adams. Hope you end up on contender. Here's your nemesis, Mr. Anthony IRONMAN GOAT Davis feasting on Rudy Bumbert.

Jordan is the greatest 1v1 player ever and LeBron is the greatest 5v5 plater ever. We need to start making this distinction because zone defense rules changed the game way more than adding a 3 point line did.

I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall Kawhi or Paul- if either of them gets shot in the head by LAPD, or be found hung dead in their mansions... or if they should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room and then I DO NOT FORGIVE. But with that said, I pledge - on the souls of my grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today.

That sounds retarded because having a large trade exception means they can only trade for players with large contracts

Which would be players most likely who are seen as unmovable like Wall or Westbrook

yah but I assume that he also has some positive feelings about having $80 million

both CP3 and the Rockets vehemently denied those rumors.

and reading between the lines, it knda seemed like the people who were spreading them were all the coaches that the Rockets shitcanned. which doesn't mean that there's not tension between CP3 and Harden but I think both of them know that the current situation makes the most sense for everyone involved

Why are the Grizzlies being faggots, why can't they give us Iguodala?

Why do people bash fans of franchises that don't win? If anything, a New York Knicks fan is a REAL fan. If anything, a Chicago Bulls fan is a REAL fan. Same goes for any of the other small market teams that didn't make big moves in free agency. You've got to respect a man's LOYALTY to his home.

Being a garden-variety fan of whatever meme team is in first place or even worse, being a fan of a player is a straight up bitch-made move. Real men are willing to take losses for their loyalty. Think it's easy being a fan of a team that the rest of the world constantly makes fun of, despite the fact that that team is a part of your DNA, since you grew up going to their games with your dad? Real men take the punches and stand by their hood.

Yeah, of course they’re serious. Mexicans love pretending they are about loyalty so they can forgive themselves for killing black people. Why do you think almost all the black people left LA?

Oh shit, I forgot about Melo. We're getting Melo, Iguodala, and Montae Ellis.

Twolves+Westbrook would be two superstars with different timelines that wouldn't be good enough in the insane west.

Supporting a team that is shit and later becomes good is very rewarding, especially with a championship. It's like busting a nut after not having fapped for two weeks. So what I'm basically saying is that OKC fans just got cucked.

Neither Westbrook or KAT are superstars

Exactly. Being a Cubs fan since the day my grandfather took me to go see Sammy Sosa and Mark Grace play and watching them win it all in 2016 was a spiritual experience. Casuals just don't understand. I imagine Raptors fans had the same feeling. Nothing's quite like the first.

You are the epitome of a cuck, you whiteboy faggot.

Talking about the first time you've watched one, not the first time the team has won. No one alive experienced the Cub's first win in 1906.

What a ride for the Knicks, drafted KP, Ntilikina, Knox then Barrett with top ten picks. Traded KP to clear cap space taking back a lesser player in DSJ. All of their blue chip prospects, with the exception of DSJ (not counting Robinson since he was a second rounder) not only look like bust but like they don’t even belong in the NBA.

If Barrett is really this raw this is a five year rebuild.

Last year the kangz had a better record than the warriors. Conceivably, if AD gets injured super early on and Lebron never gets serious they're fucked versus a stacked west.

So tell me why there shouldn't be a Rapties/Lakies/Thundies/Spuries "Fuck Kawhi and fuck the Clippers" broship

Knicks will only improve if Dolan leaves and they hire a better FO. Free agents don't seem to care about MSG anymore either and I don't think there's anything to trade. The only way I see the Knicks becoming contenders would be tanking for several years, removing Dolan, and overhauling the FO.

Instead of signing D'Lo the Lakers signed Danny Green, KCP and Caruso instead. Ehhh, I feel like you could get KCP and Caruso for the vet min. Pelinka fucked up though I understand him panicking. He only had three players on the roster waiting for that autist to cuck him dry.

Kings will do what they do best. Waste their star players talent and eventually lose them.

Luke Walton is an awful coach. He will be a negative to their coaching last year. Walton got a pass because of Magic's idiocy but he was terrible at every aspect of the job.

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 MaxRimCrust3.1 engine outstrips S.P.A.R.K.S. CandyBread Elite7 engine??!? even though MaxRimCrust3.1 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 going out once and for all

it was nonstop laker trolling, every single post was laughing at the lakers, there was a "laugh at the lakers" general thread, the whole front page was lelbrons and JUST with the lakers logo

it was maybe a 95% to 5% split of lakers-raptors trolling. idk there's been an asshurt leaf posting about kawhi but i think it's either clipanada or some derozanfag. love him for getting us a chip and sad to see him go for sure but i had a feeling he was leaving anyway. plus masai handled it well. they were trying to rob us and get us to trade siakam and vanvleet and four firsts for paul george so kawhi would stay and he said fuck no.

danny green is a liability for the pricetag desu

you hate him too right, RIGHT. OKC, LAL, and SAS all should hate him right about now. Toronto would too but "h-he got me a title waaah"

I didn't want him to win a title, but he did. I was mad and got over it cause he's gone now and hating him isn't going to help the Spurs. I do wish that the Spurs got more for him, but that didn't happen.

There's also a huge difference between being traded and leaving during free agency.

Kawhi is strange man

With the warriors in shambles and lakers just gearing up, there would be zero reason for the raptors to not repeat with him

Tell me guys, why the fuck are people fine with Kawhi leaving Toronto after just one season and one championship? Shouldn't you guys beg him to stay?

Also, what would happen if for some reason the Raptors missed the playoffs next season? Would people be fine with that?

Raptors still have too many pieces to miss the playoffs next season

What if the guys get injured

>why the fuck are people fine with Kawhi leaving Toronto after just one season and one championship?
He was traded there whilst openly stating his final destination was LA, the championship was not an expectation of the trade so Kawhi accomplished more than Toronto could have possibly hoped for already.

>Also, what would happen if for some reason the Raptors missed the playoffs next season? Would people be fine with that?

They won’t, East is incredibly wide open/filled to the brim with irrelevant teams and they have solid veterans, role players and a rising star. But if they did who would give a fuck? You really think niggas are gonna sit at the house and watch Pascal Siakam as a main option?

How come people are okay with the Raptors not repeating as champions? Whatever happened to "How do you celebrate a title? By winning another"? You guys are seriously fine with becoming an at-best a mid-tier team for the foreseeable future, possibly never winning another title?

why didnt kawhi sign with us? does he think the fans are entitled? or the franchise is? Like i feel he and pg feel some type of way about us.

As a fan of other teams, what's with the hate for the Lakers? we want to win just as much as you guys do, and it's not like we've been winning titles recently. what gives????

I seriously don't get it. Other teams, when they win a title, they do their best to try and win again. "Going from champions to bottom-four seed" is simply not on the agenda. How come Raptors are simply fine with possibly never winning again? What is wrong with them?

They still have Lowry right?

Are the Raptors officially the Brawn GP of the NBA now?

>why didnt kawhi sign with us?
Poorly run organization by all accounts, Vogel and Kidd instead of Rivers and Cassell, Jeannie instead of Balmer. Lebron and his Klutch cronies instead of a functioning front office, and with Magic blabber mouthing/leaking everything it was clear you guys weren’t built up as a franchise to handle Kawhi.

Because they are now solidified in history. No matter how many years go by now they can always go back to 2019 and say we won that year.

Iggy mentioned it in his interview if you can win a title you can never be denied

I’ve been sitting in my bathroom a half hour running the shower as hot as possible but to no avail. This one is dug in deep

Yeah like how the Bucks can go and say "Look, we won in 1971!" or how the Kings can go "Did you know we were NBA champions in 1951?" or even the Thunder saying "Oklahoma City Thunder: 1979 NBA Champions!"

This, your title has an asterisk if it was not won within quick secession of another. Any shit team can win a fluke title, you’re not a real champion unless you’ve repeated

Exactly

Glad you get it

As a Warriors fan I'm actually really sad to see Kawhi leaving Toronto. I was hoping he'd stay so that next year there could be a chance we'd meet in the playoffs again, but alas. Now if in case the Warriors still manage to make it to the finals, they won't be able to avenge their loss.

NBA should be like 15 teams, too many irrelevant teams and players that have no hope of competing short of drafting a Lebron/Curry. If you remove the 70s it’s pretty much just a rotation of the Lakers, Celtics, GSW, Bulls, and Pistons taking turns winning titles. Teams like Orlando and OKC are open farm teams for the NBA’s legitimate franchises, and dumping grounds for contenders bad contracts.

A study from Rutgers University in NJ, has concluded that approximately 87 percent of American White women have had or fantasize about having sexual relations with African American males. The study was conducted by the Sexual Sociological Endowment in the Cultural Histology department, at Rutgers University.
The study reveals that a whopping 87% of white women dream of having sex with a Black man and in some cases many already have. Interestingly enough, the same study says only 13% of white women said they would would marry and raise a family with a Black man. Of the 800 involved in the study, 8 percent said they have actually dreamed of having a threesome with Black men.
The fact that there is such a huge disparity between the number of white women who want to have sex with Black men versus those who would marry Black men, shows that many still have stereotypical view of Black men. Black men are seen as sexual masters in the bedroom but almost complete absent from the corporate boardroom.
So when it comes to sex, most white women would prefer a Black man but they look toward their own white men when they are looking for a provider.
Black men have 20% more testosterone cousing through thei muscular bodies than white men, thats what gives them better endurance like a Kenyan runner, which makes them better athletes and lovers.
The number one sex tourist destination is the erotic, tropical beaches of Jamaica, followed by Zanzibar, Kenya, Ghana, Gambia etc. Those lean , muscular, young BBC, have be a tourisist draw with white woman for over 150 years.

Is this in some alternate universe where Westbrook isn’t statpadding inefficient garbage and the 18 other top 20 NBA players ahead of that duo don’t exist?

whatever championship hopes you had were gone back when durant left, you're delusional.

Why are people rating Kawhi so high, especially over Giannis?

Giannis is more physical, a more efficient shooter, better defensive player, just won regular season MVP after being in contention last year, and was up 2-0 against the Raptors in the ECF.

All Kawhi did was fit into a system on both teams he's been on so far in stacked teams, and he's been the 1st and 3rd weakest finals MVPs with an asterisk next to his title against the Warriors.

What happened next?

>a more efficient shooter
Scorer*, Giannis isn’t efficient outside of 10ft from the basket

What was the point of Boston acquiring Kemba? Do they envision themselves getting a real star to pair with him down the line?

Dude is turning 30 and is an undersized, volume-based point guard with low efficiency.

I would guess they’re remaining on the 4-6 seed treadmill while developing their young players, but who knows maybe Ainge is looking to make additional moves? I don’t know of anyone available besides Brick at this point though and undoubtedly they’d be looking for a wing or PF since they added a dozen centers.

Kemba Walker is an overhyped star at best and doesn't deserve a max salary slot. He was stat-padding inefficient numbers on a shit Hornets team and never even came close to an NBA first-team that entire time because he's genuinely not that great. He's worth like 20-25m.

Prove me wrong and justify the Celtics' new purchase.

Why do I feel like every second rounder gets described like this but you never hear from them again like 80% of the time?

Sometimes even 16th overall picks get described like that and never pan out, I blame scouting reports seemingly having to have a pro comparison that’s a ‘name’ in the NBA. Nobody wants to read about a guy being the next Jake Voskuhl. A player that can handle and defend like Draymond and consistently score is a first ballot hall of famer but he’s always the go to for any undersized forward that’s meant to be capable defensively.

Forgot my pic, French ‘Draymond’

That team gets shat on in the paint which is where the 2 biggest threats in the conference live

They’re not contenders, but they only play those teams eight times next year. So even if it’s a given they lose all eight games because the Bucks/Philly have better bigs (it’s not, Atlanta was taking games off Philly last year starting Dedmon and Len), they could still be a top 3 seed.

he has been better than durant since 2016

How is D Rose these days? How has he changed his game since Chicago days or does he still play the same but on much fewer minutes

>Shannon will say that Danny Green was a better pick up than Kawhi

Screen cap this!

He pretty much plays the same, just less explosive (4 knee surgeries will do that to you) than he use to be. Was playing pretty well last year....before he got hurt yet again. Rose hasn't finished a season without an injury in like 6 straight years. Dude is made out of tissue paper.

We gots ourselves booger and green fuck kawhi this is sooo much better. Didn’t want that snake anyways right lakers bros

Guy is an abysmal shooter (had the best shooting month of his career last year which skews this previous seasons average, outside of that month he was historically bad for that volume), can’t defend anymore but everyone still likes to see him slash which he can still do just obviously not with as much force and disrespect as he could in his prime.

Kanter is in parts of an upgrade, for the first time since they were contending for a title the Celtics won’t have a Sullinger or Horford as their primary rebounder

Curry, Butler, PG, Kawhi, Jokic
Embiid

Why?

i dont like Wing, but I like Tallgeese (I and III) and Serpent Custom

Durant is:
1) a better 2pt shooter
2) a better 3pt shooter
3) a better FT shooter
4) can honestly carry a team better than Kawhi
5) actually gets assists and triple doubles

The only thing he doesn't have over Kawhi is defense. Kawhi even sits out entire seasons. You know Kawhi has never played more than 74 games in a regular season, right? And he's only played over 70 games twice.

I hate Durant with passion, but no doubt in my mind Durant is better.

Excellent taste fellow leaf. Deathscythe Hell variants are nice too.

Yep, there’s no conceivable way I can see Durant playing with Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan under Gregg Popovich and getting just a single title out of it. They’d have contended every single year

Generally, I agree with you, just because Durant is so good. However, we both know if Durant was on the Spurs, he would push Durant down into his system and his stats wouldn't be as good, a little bit similar to him playing with Russ' system. With that being said, definitely contenders.

durant is the better talent, kawhi has the better career. in the long run kawhi's legacy will be stronger especially if he wins with the clips

durant shit on kawhi in 2016 dumbfuck

>kawhi has the better career.
Kawhi has yet to win regular season MVP, and was on either a historically stacked team for his first title (four first ballot hall of fame players and the best coach in history) and played an injured squad (Looney, Cousins, Klay, KD) in the second Finals.

how the fuck can someone say kawhi is better than durant? if you say he was better in 2016 that's even more retarded

Recency bias, people act like Kawhi beat the super Warriors team that Lebron lost to and not a Alfonzo McKinnie led team.

If you put Khris Middleton in Kawhi’s place through their respective career track is Kawhi really the better player? His legacy is almost entirely team accomplishments, it be like people putting Robert Horry on Mt. Rushmore.

Westbrook/Winslow
White Devin Booker/Waiters
Butler/Derrick Jones Jr.
James Johnson/some buyout fag
Bam/Leonard

they're going to the finals, right?

This would be the first round matchup every analyst would act like NBA teams were avoiding a la the Grizzlies, until Westbrook shoots them out the series in 4 uncompetitive games.

Just a reminder for the casuals:

youtu.be/TxnybfqCLSg

The only thing Anthony Davis is better than Embiid at is shooting. The only thing Jokic is better than embiid at is passing. Embiid is superior to both in every other way

Jokic is better than Embiid at shooting, ball handling and passing though?

>first four ballot hall of famers
wait, four? I thought it was three
>duncan
>parker
>ginobli
what's the 4th besides Kawhi?

Shooting debatable, clearly a better passer, Embiid is a capable ball handler, he is quite ball dominant on the sixers. However Embiid is such a better defender and scorer than Jokic, while having comparable offensive ability that Embiid is just better when it comes down to it. But they are different players. Embiid is a far better scorer, they kind of guy you just feed all night. Jokic is a facilitator which is unique for a big obviously. They both fit well on their respective teams.

Jokic vs. Embiid is a much better debate to have than AD vs. Embiid or AD vs Jokic. AD just puts up empty stats, he isnt a player that can lead a team to championships and he proved that by going to LA. Also Embiid murders him head to head every time. Pelicans will be fine without AD. Sixers are a lottery team without Embiid, they dont function when he's off the court. Denver would have a tough time without Jokic

AD plus minus: 131
Embiid +/- : 367

Joel wins games.

rewatching Sixers/pelicans games highlights. Gentry just tries to hide him on simmons because if he doesnt he will be fouled out by halftime lmfao

> +/-
Is your last name Bayless by any chance?
Most overused meme statistic in NBA history completely dependent on team morale, resting other key players, and garbage time.

If you watch Sixers games the plus minus boxscore is an accurate reflection of what goes on. Embii off for short spell. Other team cuts the lead by 10. Embiid back on. rinse and repeat. Sixers backup centres are all shit or meme players like Boban.

>dude look at this stats
>the only time he was able to get a team to the finals was with a loaded young team only to get buttfucked by bron
>what are roles
>thinking defense isn't more valuable than offense in today's league
>has only played over 70 games twice
and?

dude, kawhi has had a better career than durant, and right now, he's miles better

forget these past 3 years and durant is nothing but a dude that can ball but does nothing when it matters, a like clyde drexler during michael's era

forget these past 3 years and kawhi is already one of the best two way players in league history

It's a desperation move from ainge. He completely blew his asset collection.

You're right about the 76erd. In game 7 Joel Embiid played 46 minutes and was +10. The Sixers lost by 2. This happens all the time

PG: Wright / Brunson / JJB
SG: Seth / THJ
SF: Luka / DFS / Jackson
PF: Porzingis / Broekoff
C: Powell / Kleber/ Boban

Carlisle reminds everyone that he’s one of the best coaches in the league, and Mavs grab a playoff spot.

But who's gonna stop Larry Bird with a Megaphone?

Can you stop with this fucking logic. We have enough LeBabby shills in here using it 24/7. Embid is much better as 1st option, even have 3pt shot+fake that dumbasses go for. But Davis can be league best 2nd option that score more than 1st easily. LeRoid went to full 3pt+layup mode last year. If he has someone who can catch lob and not get stuck with ball in hands they can just score 2 full quarters of easy points every game.
+Embid is another big cameroonian that likes food too much and will never be in prime shape. Davis might survive if he doesn't have to carry every game, and PF is weakest position in West. Current Milsap is elite on playoff bound teams, lmao.

>PG: black / black / white

>SF: white / black / lightskin
>PF: white / white
>C: lightskin / white / white

Add up these gradients and you end up with an almost perfect spectrum where the team gets progressively whiter by position, particularly if you omit JJB due to him starting the season injured:
>PG: black + black = black
>SG: lightskin + black = blackish mutt
>SF: white + black + lightskin = true 50%er
>PF: white + white = white
>C: lightskin + white + white = Italian

So we all agree Jarrett Culver is /ourguy/, right?
