We should throw the world cup to manufacture interest for the Olympics and get all the stars to show up. Also Silver should give free passes to sit out regular season games if you play in the Olympics. Enough with the daydream teams.

Nope. My Rapties 2peating.

>sixers have no closer, still have the simmons embiid problem
>the bucks got worse, giannis isnt proven yet
it's going to be someone from the west, one of the warriors, clippers, or lakers. the raptors arent repeating but people shouldn't write them off as a contender atleast for the ECF.

>Yeah, I've been told we'd play USA in the final if we go undefeated... But won't they lose before that?

How many games are Raps winning this season? I predict 48.

don't underestimate my nuggies

Hey remember when the lakers thought they were getting Kawai? Lol

im old enough to remember when they though they were going to get Larry Bird

Probably depends on the bracket. Okay teams can beat good teams in the playoffs if the good team just played a tough series against another good team. In the West you're going to have to get through something like Portland-GSW-LA, while in the East you could get like Chicago-Miami-Toronto if you're lucky.

No because the bulls are winning

even Wilt the most alpha negro ever had to bow down to the superior white mans sperm.

>Cherry finally adds several personal reasons: the center felt he had grown too big for Philadelphia, sought the presence of fellow celebrities (which were plenty in L.A.) and finally also desired the opportunity to date white women, which was possible for a black man in L.A. but hard to imagine elsewhere back then.

Fucking dumb shit.

Gagging for some basketball

realistically what is Zion's ceiling? I think it'll be as a westbrookesque player, really dominant in the paint offensively, good passer, not good shooter, meh defender

easy to spot a casual viewer when they say Sexton is better than SGA or Ayton is better than JJJ

Zion is gonna be one of the best defenders in the league. I'm more confident in his defense than offense actually.

really? ill admit i didnt watch that many duke games during march madness but his defence didnt stand out to me that much

Previous qualifying system was way better, all FIBA decisions in the last 5 years have been absolutely retarded

Feels like forever ago

oh yeah with that janky shot of his I would bet on his defense being better like some of these other new wave helpside, switchable high impact defenders.

Raise it to 230

interesting I think the pelis will definitely be fun to watch

'Zo is cringe

His ceiling is incredibly high to me. I see him as being a hyper-efficient finisher, transition player and screener on offense as well as a secondary playmaker and passer, and a strong defender.

Could easily bust tho too

His production in terms of steals, blocks, defensive rebounds was completely insane. He has really good defensive instincts and he's a physical freak. He should, in theory, be really effective playing a free-safety type of role in the NBA.

Russ has a better DBPM than everyone besides Gobert and Drummond over the past 3 seasons. I'd say he's better on D than O at this point, which is what he was supposed to be coming out of college. Zion's pretty good too tho so maybe that's not a bad comp.

>9001. Lonzhit
>900000000001. Fultz

ayton should be higher

I think DBPM generally tends to vastly overstate the actual impact of defensive rebounding for guards. DRPM has Russ as a pretty average defensive guard, and that's generally in line with his recent & career defensive on-off stats. He generally plays on good defensive teams but it's hard to tell how much of that is because of him and how much of that is because of the defensive personnel around him. It's also hard to tell how much of this stuff is because Russ is exerting all his energy on the offensive end instead.

I think the big difference between Russ and Zion is really just mentality. Zion is not ever going to be the kind of ball-dominant floor-raiser and attacker that Russ is, which is both a good and a bad thing I guess.

DBPM sucks

Pretty much any all-in-one defensive metric sucks ass and DBPM is usually OK as a quick reference point when you don't want to look deeper

>DBPM
yeah just grab defensive boards and you are a great defender, the fact that drummond, westbrook and boogie have all been among the top players in that stat show how meaningless it is

Lauri should be way higher

Literally no reason to use BPM or DBPM. RPM and PIPM are the more modern stats that use plus minus data not found in the box score.

you guys watching TBT?

>Literally no reason to use BPM or DBPM.

Convenience is a reason. I agree that RPM and PIPM are better statistics, though. I just think BPM stats are OK for a convenient quick first glance type of thing.

Also, RPM is proprietary which is annoying.

>Doncic above KAT
>le Porzingis meme
>Zion
You don't really watch games right? because this list is based on popularity.

he’s going to be a bust, never completing a full season due to injuries

It’s a sham they’re audacious enough to charge

Its low. He cant figure out nutrition and he's an NBA player ? I see injuries and lots of disappointment.

>6’6
>300lb
Blown out lower body joints before his second contract. That frame is not built to carry that weight and move that fast. Knees are gonna get ripped apart

Based on what? The guy has barely done anything in the NBA except scoring a bunch of points in meaningless games. At least Tatum has done something in the playoffs.

Porzingis and Zion have the highest ceilings on the list. Even higher than Giannis who is too freakishly big to become a competent NBA shooter. He will be like Shaq in his career.

>simmons/embiid
>problem
what

i could see him having big problems defensively once he puts some nba miles on.
could reach a point where he doesnt have enough lateral quickness to guard permiter players or enough height to guard bigs.

this. He got a bruise playing in the first 5 minutes of summer league. Pelicans are betting their next 7 years on zion so expect load management and lebron type of rest after small injury. He won't play much during the reg session and will certainly not get to the playoffs with lonzshit as the number 2 option.

>ESPN told me porzingis and zion are going to be superstars!!
>both injured before even showing any sign of stardom in the nba
>comparing them to giannis who just got an MVP (although undeserved, he is factually league top 10 minimum)
weeeeew

simmons can't shoot so clog the paint where embiid can't do work. They play better when the other is on the bench.

he won't have any lateral quickness after his first imminent injury. so I don't see him as a defender at all. He should just take the drose path, play his hardest at his young prime of 20 years old, hopefully get an MVP (not hard considering all the hype surrounding him by the league and media and the void lebron will leave once he retires), bust his knees after and be worshipped for the rest of his career.

PELICANS will win their first title in 2022-23, cap this shit.

>too freakishly big to become a competent NBA shooter

Wut? There's no height/size limitation to shooting well, it's just if you're big then you don't need to be able to shoot well to succeed in the NBA so you probably won't be able to plus teams didn't encourage big men to develop their shot.

Look at Brook Lopez - he could always shoot but he didn't because teams didn't value it.

Alright, this is the year I want to watch more basketball. More that the local Bulls game I get on TV, and more than the ones that come on ESPN/TNT

what's the best way to go about doing this? Does the NBA have something similar the the NFL gamepass?

Yes, it's called NBA League Pass.

There's also NBA TV, which shows extra games on cable

nba league pass

why would anyone pay for a shitty pass when all the games will be on some shitty stream online? just use adblock

hornets games dont even come on local tv here i have to use the fox sports app

overrated, and overpaid garbage that all Philthy stars are. Now they wonder why no one respects that city's sports world outside the delusional shitty fanbases all four of their sports have.

Those are some weak ass cross overs.

>The _________ __________ have agreed to terms with free agent Carmelo Anthony.

Gus Johnson here is described as the "lebron james of the 60s". In 1966 he dunked on wilt. The next time with the ball gus tried to dunk again. Wilt grabbed the ball and threw the ball and gus downwards. Still holding the ball they carry gus Johnson off in stretcher with dislocated shoulder. Wilt didn't get a foul

Is AD still a bust lads?

He's allstar compared to Ben Simmons and all the 76ers not named Horford.

AD has the tools to become better than Duncan, not that it's saying much. Duncan is very much a product of Popazit.

>drafting based on high value of the prospect instead of need
Why do shitty teams still do this? What's the point of tanking when you don't even get what you want?

Because the 76ers made it look cool with the Process and everyone wants to be like them when it comes to tanking...yet still don't realize the process was a complete utter failure and only make it look worse as time passes.

>Duncan is very much a product of Popazit.

le hot take
why did pop fail with endless scrubs the likes of samaki walker and tiago splitter.
why couldnt he duncan them

You only have to put 5 guys on the court at any given time, finding world class talent at any one position is more felicitous to building a team than just finding a decent player to staff an existing need. That being said, if you reply and disagree with me I'll have to pull the retard alarm and have you escorted out.

peak splitter was p good tho, bad example.

Tim Duncan was the #1 pick in the 1997 nba draft after being the unanimous choice as college player of the year previously

But sure he's a system player who was only good cause of pop

It depends on the prospect and the circumstances. There are some guys who theoretically have a high ceiling but the chances of them reaching it are so slim that it's not worth taking a chance on them. Like Anthony Randolph or someone like that.

Drafting on need used to only get you to 2nd round exit purgatory although it might be a viable strategy now that guys like Kawhi are willing to play on Indian reservations.

You're probably right, plus I didn't realise they'd signed Cauley-Stein to plug the center gap.

He's right, though. Not a word of a lie.

Yeah, plus I think there would be a couple different teams interested in DAR. Definitely Minnesota, probably Orlando, maybe a couple other mystery teams. So Golden State should have some leverage. Maybe throw in T Ferg or something. Adams is definitely better than WCS but I don't think he's worth enough on his own.

Is Lonzo Ball the weirdest player in NBA history? The guy has all these intangible skills but he shoots and leads the game like a complete retard. His dad is the reason he went into the top 5. He doesn't have a voice but his dad is the ultimate hype man. He looks like a literal clown. And he's only 21 years old. What the hell is up with Lonzo Ball?

Bros is a verbal job offer legally binding? Can I go ahead and quit my current job?

But his idol LeBron taught him to do that.

I don’t know Canadian law. In America for services you usually need an actual contract but verbal agreements have varying degrees of validity, you’d he surprised how many verbal agreements are binding. Its a grey area overall

Think it's more like the Westbrook effect

Yeah, but the Central Park 5 teenagers were guilty of a whole bunch of other crimes but still got rewarded with millions of dollars because they sued the city when DNA evidence suggested that they didn’t commit the specific crime in question that they outright confessed too.

There was nobody in that case worth having sympathy for. Just a whole bunch of fucking shitty people, but we are supposed to feel bad because it was a technical error in legal justice.

Like I said earlier:

I noticed that white people love living vicariously through

- Hollywood

- Luka Doncic

- Connor McGregor

- Tyson Fury

Now throw in Rocky.
I feel that white males enjoy seeing Rambo like characters on the TV screen where they're out muscling, out gunning, and straight up murdering everyone brutally without emotion, empathy, and with ease.
Ever wonder why western white beta males have an extreme hard on for Eastern European men. They are deluded into thinking that Eastern European cuckasoids are somewhat the alpha representative of whatever western white euros want to be but will never become. Western White Europeans seem to have this homosexual fantasy for eastern european whites and its hilarious. All those (vodka, bear, russian give no fucks) fantasy idealizations by western euros is so pathetic its sad. I guess they enjoy relating to the ruggedness using catch phrases like "In Russia, [insert joke]"

The vast majority of rap and hip hop is meant to be listened to by people who will live vicariously through it. Its all about how tough and rich and attractive the rapper is and the fucking tools who like it are imagining that somehow the mindset and lifestyle of that rapper are something they understand and relate to, meanwhile theyre blasting it out the windows of their 2 year lease Ford Fusion and wearing H&M shit. The main reason weak minded people love rap and hip hop so much is it allows them to escape into a fantasy world that hides their boring, irrelevant, broke ass lifestyles. Even worse is when they try to act like rappers, spending money on shit they dont need and cant afford.

You're not justified in demanding the death penalty for people and insisting on their guilt for crimes they provably didn't do just because they are shitty people in some other respect, or they're generally jackasses. That's all I gotta say about that.

Ingram, Knox and Smith are pretty good bets to make 5 years just hanging around benches and stuff. Ingram might even be good.

Fultz could still turn into a basketball player once he gets over his injuries and broken brain. Bennett is apparently good at shooting now and back in the league I guess? So that's 5.

>it was an example of him taking advantage of sensationalism and prejudice.

So why do people think Zion will work himself into shape over the life of his career when it has literally never happened in the NBA? Just look at all the fat players in the NBA the last 30 years. Shaq only got fatter, Barkley got fatter, Kemp got fatter, Randolph got fatter and Embiid got fatter. Name me one college player who bullied ball college kids to trim down and get into top shape for his NBA career. It has not nor ever will happen. Zion will stay at 300 pounds and break his ankles before his first max contract.

that seems dumb and I'm not even high on Jaylen

They should trade for someone who can play center

Kinda late because I found about it only yesterday, but fuck do I feel sorry for Lin. Man just can't get a fucking break.

millions of dollas, ten years as an elite athlete, worldwide fame and buzz, and a championship is a pretty nice break that would be nice

He’s earned like $50m in his NBA career, poor guy.

He’s lost both his athleticism, his biggest strength, and his jump shot. If he could do the latter at a league average rate then he would be a bench player somewhere

He got a championship with Rapties so that's a big break, but nobody wants him atm and that ring of his did nothing to ease his feeling, like you've seen from all the articles covering his breakdown.

There's a lot of average players that found teams, yet nobody wants him which is a bit weird. And as for the money he's made, not all people play the game for the money and fame, some just do it for the love of the sport and consider those other features a huge ass bonus.

and given more money than even KD or Lebron. Which is outright retarded giving that kind of money to a literal no shooter.

Understand that but he's an old point guard who doesn't really have a point of difference. It is weird that he got no offers but that happens sometimes. Regardless, he's a 5-10mpg guy and surely he knows that. He's done well for himself what's weird is crying publicly about it coming to an end. Im sure its hard but keep it to yourself bro.

Almost like if the 76ers are admitting the Process was a failure, and actually trying to fail with those retarded contracts.

He's a vet and all that by current standards, but he could still be incorporated into a team if given a chance and would contribute solid figures from the bench. I understand that in the current meta where 3s are king he isn't your go to guy, but he still has something to offer and should at least be given a chance to show it. Same goes for Mello.

I agree man thats basically what I said and I agree about Carmelo too. But it happens sometimes guys get unlucky, he has to accept it,

Lin isn’t remotely average anymore. He’s a bad player with little upside. If he could shoot then he’d be in the NBA - he was always a poor shooter and he’s got worse

If he just wants to play, he could get a G-League contract no problem.

he was alright on the hawks last year
he just couldnt hack it on a championship roster

Aye, life just be that way I guess.

So Lakies and Clippies are the only two teams that matter in the West, right? Nobody cares about the East with Kawhi gone, not unless KD will continue his monster spree once he comes back from the injury.

Nuggets

Portland and Denver are gonna make solid runs, but are out of the race atm. The West is split between LeKing and the Usurper that marches under his banner of the Klaw.

KD is finished
the nets will be a trainwreck reminiscent of the kevin garnett era

this, lob city tier

You mistake the Nets for the 76ers. Nets have a future to build while the 76ers are on the edge.

I wouldn't count him out just yet.

>32 year old cripple durant
>kyrie irving
>future to build
kek

if >my Nets can keep making amazing draft picks outside the lottery like LeVert and Allen... and acquiring players other teams gave up on like Harris and Dinwiddie, then >we are looking pretty good.

not being a hater bro but it really depends on how well durant recovers otherwise you may end up being like a slightly better Derozan raptors

Denver was really fucking good last year, they brought everyone back and added Jerami Grant, and all their young players are a year more experienced

>not being a hater
Kinda something a hater would say though. But will say the 76ers are overrated trash that's well too overhyped by almost all sports analyst despite having no good shooter.

But the Clippers and the Lakers are better and contenders for the chip. I love Denver and want to see them win, but that won't happen for another year or so.

hey /nba/ how does it feel to shoot better than a max nba player

Unlike Miami, i dont dislike the Nets at all, i just thought it was funny comparing two

Yeah I'll take being a team like the Derozan Raptors except without actually having a player as shitty as DeRozan

a shittier draymond

I would too, Nets are in a good spot compared to most teams.

Random but I hate playing pickup basketball with short fat guys. They always have a huge inferiority complex yet are always up in someone else's business desu

did you shit on him and diss him and his crew and record label every time you dunked on him / blocked him ?

nah its probably him
in the game there is a TV show about the game and "The Game" was on it several times.
i played with people that were on his squad sometimes they say its really him on mic

Depends on the player.

I don't agree. Duncan was generationally good, and Pop was also a generationally good coach.

Look at what the Spurs did from 2012 to 2014 - Duncan was aging and, while still an All-Star, no longer a truly generational player. Kawhi was young and not a superstar yet. And over that period, they made it to the WCF every year, won a ring, came a miraculous Ray Allen shot away from winning another. And even after Kawhi quit / left, Pop kept the Spurs as a playoff team.

Cool, man

fuck Larry Brown 2004 Olympics was some shameful shit

Robinson was really good in the regular season
