Fuck off, it's BTC newfag.

Is gAyvery Bradley ever going to see the floor again? Or is he done?

cavs need to get rid of channing fry

BIG BANTZ BILL

where is the new duckchat at?

>watching games a week before the all star break

Look at how lazy these faggots are playing. No double teams on the post, just jacking up threes, can't make layups in transition.

Just awful.

so where is the best place to actually have inteligent basketball discussion without retarded spammers.

here is clearly not the place

fuck outta here

>the city of cleveland

Based Bill.

Fuck the percentages. It's about the people and the emotion.

This is the aspect /nba/ forgets about and they just spam stats trying to be a armchair analytics retard.

but muh corner three

Who is the face of the Chicago Bulls?

BATTLE FOR THE DRAFT PICK TANKB OWL TONIGHT SUNS VS LAKEYS

Ahem, sorry I inhaled some water accidentally.

I meant to say San Antonio Spurs.

Fuck off chuck. Stats and analytics might not tell the whole story but they tell a significant part of it. Just wait until they figure out how to quantify hustle well

Someone make a fucking game thread for the celtics game, I'm on thread cool down

LARRY SAID HE WANT SOME BEEF WITH ME

Phill @ Boston game thread

when they start thinking hustle is quantified well is when people will game the system to make their hustle stats look good without actually hustling.

that jagged cutout triggers my autism

Actually, that's the name first brought to the table during the summer.

But then we agreed to put the name in order of the three teams that laid out the blueprint of destroying GSW's championship run.

Blazers, in showing how GSW's defense can be pressured into covering the perimeter, causing for open men in the paint to feast.

Thunder, in showing the physicality needed to disturb the rhythm in order to throw off their shots. Small-ball lineup was one of the best in NBA, consisting of Westbrook, Waiters, Iblocka, Roberson (who suddenly could nail threes with relative ease), and the Snake (who turned bitch and joined GSW).

Cleveland, who lead his kingdom to the promise land, delivering the final blow to the mighty giant, introducting the meme "73 and NEIN"

The holy trinity of basketball's final hope in the league's darkest hour. It is not the trinity the league wants, but it is the one it deserves... but not right now.

you can't expect quality from RBL, they're the IKEA of broships.

Come at us!

We outchea

Broships are for faggots. If you aren't a cavs fan you can fuck off

what's this guy's record in the finals again?

I see game threads all the fucking time for this sport; how many games do people have to play a week?

3-4 usually

thanks for Steven Adams, m8

LEBRON JUST GOT INJURED

IT'S OVER

HE WAS ON THE FLOOR CLUTCHING HIS ANKLE IN PAIN

LOOKED LIKE ROSE

...

I'd like to retract this post.

He just rolled his ankle and he's sitting the bench drinking Gatorade.

He was having an amazing game too. But let's be honest, dude is indestructible. Have faith.

>bill walton's shirt

he always makes his injuries look worse than they are

im not saying he's a bitch, but you wouldn't see kobe or mj doing that

Isaiah Thomas is such a cocky little faggot. I hope he gets injured.

Kyle Korver is unstoppable on the Cavs.

Shoots it from anywhere and gets so much time and space compared to every other team he's played for.

on one hand I want to hear Bill Walton

on the other hand I don't want to hear Dickie V

wat do?

sa
me

YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO BOTH BABY

DIAPER DANDY BABY

It would be nice of lebron would get a season-ending injury for once. I'm sick and tired of that fucking guy.

If there was any guy I wanna see having a season ending injury, it's probably Draymond. People say Curry, but without Draymond setting illegal screens, Curry would struggle. I'd love to see him go 1-11 for the rest of the season while Draymond just sits and watches with a torn achilles.

plus he's a racebaiting faggot too, every time I think I can't hate Draymond more he gives me another reason.

anyone watching hte raptors game? Derozan is literally incapable of passing

Why don't other teams change up their court and jerseys and do some throwback night like my rapties?

It would be cool seeing a team like my lakeys do that

...

They do

he's been having some rough games lately, what's wrong with your boy canuck?

if you wanna send him down to LA hq, we'll take him off your hands

Somebody needs to take Hinkie's Photoshop class at Stanford.

kongs were changing both last year

>PG13 0-6 in the 2nd quarter
>this included many layups

I think that ankle injury is lingering tbqhwyfam
brad stevens better not run my boy into the ground during the ASG

I rarely see them changing the court, but the Raptors blue huskies or whatever it's called jerseys are pretty cool.

I'd like to see the Lakers fix the Hollywood Nights jerseys to look more like this and switch to a black and gold court.

So who got Love's allstar spot?

I rarely see other teams changing the court, that is

>that missed putback

>Portland's throw backs look much the same as current

Guess you just don't need much change in POR
classic

it's just annoying watching him miss easy passes and resetting for an iso every time he catches the ball. He can't shoot 3s either so it limits the plays that can be ran for him.

Ingram for Derozan who says no?

tbd, probably Beal/Drummond/Whiteside

It would be cool if the entire league agreed to do a "90s" or "80s" era theme every once in a while. Jerseys + court to be throwbacks during national games

what do my fellow canucks think of delon wright? he's taller than cojo and has a pretty long wingspan. Essential part of the rapties youth uprising?

Based on fan voting it's Melo. But I'm not about to do the play vote and media vote formula by myself.

> Embiid = Duncan
> Noel = Robinson
> Saric = Diaw
> Covington = Bowen
> TLC = Ginobili
> Brett = Pop

We dynasty now

maybe POR could wear the old old St Louis Spirit jerseys =)

>Moses Malone =3

But that would alienate teams that didn't exist then.

Would OKC have Sonics themed Thunder jerseys and Pelicans Jazz themed jerseys?

Yes they would

I'd love to see a blue and white Sonics style jersey with orange highlights instead of yellow.

Seattle cucks would be mad as fuck.

>alienate teams that didn't exist then.

And?

The Nugs are starting Hernangomez, Plumlee and Jokic together.

What the fuck kinda lineup is that?

Why did the Warriors think signing all the best individual players would be smart? Did they not think of Chemistry issues?

Wizards are going to the finals this year.

a lineup that grabs literally all the rebounds

Remember when people thought Indiana was going to be good? What happened to all those big names they've got on their roster?

>made a stupid bet for 0.50$
>payoff 4.5k $
>every team I bet on is doing good except
>Dallas

why the fuck did I bet on them

>time winding down
>activate derozan iso
>brick contested shot
>complain about no call

LeBron is achooling the pacers

>Robert Covington 18 points on 129 TS% at the half
based

he needs to stop being a fucking bitch and start shooting 3s

>m-m-muh i can get to the freethrow line

no you cant you fucking bitch

if lebron can learn to shoot 3s and become a 40% shooter in his 30s, so can defrozan

>mfw the Kings steal another from the Warriors tonight

parlay?

better than any star you teams had

whoa a rare RBL chimera

Better than Jordan?

lmao nice try kid

>harden just chucking it up at the least bit of contact

Still can't believe the same Sixers fans who claimed to TTP wanted him gone after his poor shooting start for the first ten games or so.

>thinking missing the finals is better than losing in the finals

laughing my lmao off, kys yourself

what?

>NBA basketball a week before the ASG

All these games are fucking trash man.

Stop putting words in my mouth thats not what I said

...

the worst part is that there is a like a week between nba games

You're right, Jordan couldn't even make it to the Finals, he was too busy losing in earlier rounds.

...

Proline is the best thing to happen to western Canada.

man I can't wait until college baseball starts and I can stop giving a shit about the NBA

rockets vs heat

The Heat are quietly playing really fucking good lately.
