FIRST for....

FUCK lance stephenson. Who the fuck does this asshole think he is, taking a layup at the end of a game?

IMO he should be suspended a few games with no pay, this is outrageous. Seriously fuck this dude I hope he fractures his sacrum.

...

When will they learn?

Is the OP image suggesting that Billy West is the greatest basketball player of all time?

No

There is only one lead, everyone else was a supporting character.

I'll give him a pass cause he bugs the frig out of LeBlabbermouth

Reminder basketball has become too easy, and they should either make the basket smaller, or raise it by a meter or so.

Why is hockey relevant to NBA?

Interesting little article surrounding the MVP debate.
nba.nbcsports.com/2017/04/04/how-rockets-thunder-cavaliers-spurs-play-with-and-without-their-mvp-candidates/

so who is /ourteam/ going into the playoffs

rapshits, fagaliers, warriors, spurms, and celtics fans need not apply

warriors

The nuggies if they make the playoffs

Rapties are /nba/'s team. Deal with it.

I just lost in nba2k by two because of a bullcrap turnover where the ball morphed through 3 guys and ended up in another guys hands.

The celtics better win tonight or imma kill myself.

heat if they make it. If not Thunder and westbrook

Kek Clips strikes again! Hahaha

Failblazers so we can spam >Failblazers when GSW rapes them 4-0

Less memery: SAS.

>I'm not rooting for the Pacers to upset the Cavs in the first round

>OKC celebrates Westbrook's record without Durant.
>GSW celebrates Curry's reemergence and winstreak without Durant.

I bet his injuries giving him off-times does nothing but give him enough free time to listen to the whispers in his head telling him how insignificant he is. It must be depressing to have so much money and not know true happiness.

It's the Bucks, famalam

The trick is to never be down by two.

I was honestly expecting a better game yesterday, Alpha Niner.

Westbrook v Antetokoumpo was supposed to be Dunkfest Armageddon, posters for every child to hang in their room. Kinda disappointed, really.

>It must be depressing to have so much money

I tuned in cause I was expecting an exciting game. Instead, I found myself barely paying attention and wanting to watch something else.

thanks for the funyuns m8

John Wall is a walking triple double.

>John Wall is a walking triple double

this

at least his team is in playoff contention

THIS IS THE YEAR.
LEBRON WILL FINALLY MISS THE FINALS.
HIS STREAK IS OVER.

Warriors. Hop on the bandwagon now so you can root for them during the playoffs/finals.

to who though? east is shit

celtics are not clutch, wizards are overachieving, and the raptors are injured

T. Hipster

Bulls or Heats.
>tfw Cavs lost the bulls series during the season

East is stronger than the west . Just the facts.

You don't know what a hipster is and you used the meme wrong. End yourself, newfag.

t. proto hipster

T. Hipster

you're black?

>tfw accidently deleted all my reaction images and have to restore them one by one in my cloud account

sucks desu

any good games tonight? i might go get some fried chick and watch the lakers game tonight

fried chicken, that is

how come i can't edit my posts here hmmm

because it's not reddit you piece of subhuman filth

Doesn't the east have a losing record against the West? Why do you think a majority of the East is higher in the overall ladder?

>2K gave Lance a higher-rated card than Kyle Lowry just for scoring 12 points

lel, they must have some beef against the Raptors

/ourguy/

>forgetting about playoff LeBron

I wasn't down by two, I was tied, and about to score my clutch game winning basket like I always do, but the retard spammed the steal button while he was behind me and made my guy trip and fall somehow which went through 3 of my players who didn't do fucking anything he picked it up and passed it for an easy bucket.

Playoff lebron isn't enough to carry a shitty team

Yeah I can't really explain what happened last night. They honestly didn't look like a playoff team one bit. Hoping they buck that foolishness once the post-season gets here.

It was back in '07 onwards until left to create the Super Heat

>playoff LeGod isn't enough to carry a shitty team

>posting gifs in 2017

that was back when he was in his prime, now he's LeDeclining, and all the smacktalk he does to his teammates ain't gonna help him get past the 1 seed Celtics on their way to the finals.

They said that in 2015 when the Hawks were 1st seed also and the Cavs were underachieving in the regular season.

Oh you mean the city of Atlanta?

you wish Barry

>Playoff lebron isn't enough to carry a shitty team

SLAAAAAAAAAAAAUGHTERHOUSE

Yup. Atlanta, GA.

>comparing the city of atlanta to the city of champions

>city of champions

but no one mentioned Los Angeles...

No such thing as playoff lebron. 3-4 in the finals.

The city of New York holds that crown though.

>New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek says the Knicks haven't had any conversations yet about potentially bringing back Derrick Rose next year. "We haven't discussed any of that," Hornacek said before Tuesday's game. "When the season ends we'll all sit down and try to figure out the plan going forward. Derrick did a lot of good things for us this year. The way he can break down the defense -- I think he was starting, as the season went on, got a little more comfortable with that offense. So it's an unfortunate break for him he has to have another surgery, but I'm sure he'll come back strong from it. He worked really hard last summer to get his body in good shape, so I'm sure he'll do that again. When we go over [our plans] at the end of the year, it's a guy we'll definitely take a look at and see if we can bring him back."

he gone

Sixers

>processed

Warriors first. Spurs second. Just to make the darkies mad.

Because team ball/pace and space/defense/spot up shooting > nigger ass "go hard in the paint" ape hoop flopping.

You can go hard in the paint and space the floor and shoot 3's

A team like this would be dominant, have a shaq tier big man who draws more than one guy to the paint, then have a team of shooters ready to punish anyone who leaves their man.

What if he teams with Westbrook? Since money isn't what he's looking for and winning is, why not get with the player he knows, can work out with, and would be about winning more than anything.

He'd be a great 2nd option for Westbrook, since his knees aren't doing well for him. In fact, I think Russ would hook him up with his doctors. Putting Rose on the second unit would drastically help with scoring. Since the second unit's primary issue is that, they can score enough to keep the game in reaching distance.

East has been shit for 10 years 18 years.

True fact...the west has had the better head to head regular season record vs the east for 18 of the past 19 years.

if was willing to accept a paycut and a sixth man role, but yeah that would be perfect for rose

>Warriors first
Horry, please go back to Sup Forums

Can't pay them all. You're basically asking for assassin's and a dominant center.

So the Dubs with shaq? Shaq would slow down the pace too. Small lineups playing zone would ice the fuck out of a Shaq type player these days.

this is comfy af
youtube.com/watch?v=ZcAOMTad6vM

that would hurt his confidence IMO since he would see westbrook do some crazy dunk through 3 defenders and getting MVP chants and think "that used to be me..."

If Rodman played in today's NBA, would he be hated just as much (or even more) than Draymond?

His confidence is already shot. If he gave up on money, it's a sign that he's given up on the pursuit of what he once was. His prime is behind him, or rather unattainable because of the injuries.

And I think we forget that Westbrook had 3 knee surgeries, orbital bone surgery, and a surgery on his right hand. Durant had the foot injuries and he's fine. The OKC doctors might not be able to repair Rose's career, but they might fix him up well enough to play 68 games and postseason.

And he likes playing with Westbrook, so the chemistry's already there.

Oh yes please sign with OKC Rose! The Thunder are already a Trainwreck with Westbrook there, with you there it would be double the Trainwreck! Empty statistics everywhere!!

I don't want any of you nerds talking shit about my Celties after they cuck the Cavshits tonight.

Meet the next Lebron James

Derrick Rose is going to the Brooklyn Nets.

He doesn't deserve to play with Westgoat's league.

Your gimmick is bad and you should feel bad lmao

If by that you mean being the first MVP to not get into the HOF then yea

>underachieving
I fucking hate this meme. It's the most retarded meme on this board.
>cavs are just hiding their power until the playoffs
This is so fucking false, you can see the frustration in literally every player throughout the season when they were on losing streaks. You see the frustration now. Admit it already, faggot.

Yum

No shit they're frustrated when they lose. They still pull it together come playoff time and kill oppostion becausse of Lebron magic and refball.
>underachieving is a meme
what are you on about?

What kind of drink is that?

It's a meme because literally no team is going to underachieve, especially a top seed playoff team when it's so close to the finals.
>let's underachieve and not get better!
Fuck off fucking skinny DYEL.

Carribean Passion with Whey Protein

Except the Cavs came stumbling out of the gate and never took first in the east, all while touting a big three. Same thing happened when Lebron first came to the Heat, except they took first but still lost to the inferior team in the finals.
That's called underachieving you fucking sperg. You also don't have to fixate on it because it's not my argument.

>Carribean Passion with Whey Protein

Their protein makes the drink taste better, also helps me meet my macros faster.
