that kid isn't going anywhere in life.

posting in the real edition

...

what takes mods so long to delete something?

no pay = no incentive to do anything

they certainly arent checking their bankroll

Ben Simmons

And what y’all say?

>lebron starting slow as usual
>2 things
1. the big 3 still gelling
2. Melo and/or Russ are cancerous

came into the season thinking it was going to be easy, they didnt work as much

other shit teams on the border of being good worked harder.

Lebron starting slow? He's playing great, shooting over 60% and averaging close to a triple double. The problem is they have no talent outside of him and Love.

>Lebron starting slow as usual
Dropping 50 points to win by 8? Playing 40mpg? I hate you retards who don't watch games and just post whatever narrative makes sense to you

1. No D
2. You put 3 guys who were 2nd, 3rd, and 11th is iso plays per game last season together of course the offense sucks

lebron can average near triple double in his sleep, so that isn't new. I mean with the playcalling regarding the team he has around him. right there's too many guys that need to the ball to succeed, lack of shooters, shit defense, and the fact IT isn't in the line-up while a lot of teams are hot right now.

so what you're saying is that lebron has too many playmakers?

clippers vs thunder

or

bledsoes debut vs the spuds?

giannis or two teams that can't defend

what are you watching then?

they dont even bother to cover him

he's hitting the rookie wall early since he's soo advanced, he'll be averaging 10 10 6 after the ASB. while other rookies are getting btfo by 3rd stringers in tanking teams, teams like philly and chicago.

Damn. Look who's last, and look who's number 1… LMAO

>LAL, TOR, and OKC in the top 10 in defensive clutchness

they stay mad.

By the time Hassan Whiteside retires, how many rings will he have

24th(Melo) & 25th(a.i)on the all time scoring list Who's the better Scorer?

Do NBA players respond to their snapchat?
I am not asking them a question about their team, just basketball questions because I am having problems with shooting.

My favorite part is just after the release. He starts back peddling like he's in rhythm and just stroked a wetty j

that kid is going places in life.

none, he's a headcase that won't improve now that he got paid.

Basketball is a young man's game

>Do NBA players respond to their snapchat?
do you have tits?

definitely A.I.
>quicker
>better improviser
>actually made players around him better, not worse
>did more with less talent around him

>Basketball is a young man's game

Kobe, Lebron and the championship spurs teams are laughing at you right now. This is an experienced mans game.

Never forget...

I can’t wait to see these two go at it

Cavs beat the Celtics, Bucks, Wizards and almost beat the Rockets. Very winnable game.
Rose has been in and out.
Shumpert was out.
Tristan is out.
Isaiah is out.
They still haven't figured out their best lineup.
They started Wade in the beginning of the season.
JR was in a huge slump.
Crowder is a no show so far.
..........
This team is gonna be fine. Theyre much better than their record.
They'd be fools not to use the pick to improve though. Matter of fact, throw in Crowder to sweeten the deal.
An agile big like Noel or an expiring contract on a struggling team like George or Cousins.(those probably arent likely).
With the direction that the league has gone, I wouldn't mind trading Love if I was the GM. The defense would instantly improve with a more athletic player.
Between Love, the pick, and Crowder....wouldn't be much they can't trade for that they need.
A lineup something like
IT, Korver, Lebron, Green, Noel is incredibly realistic and would be pretty effective.
Or........ In a perfect scenario.....IT, George, Lebron, Green, Noel.......

stop bringing logic into the nba thread

>Kyrie ded

for those lurking this thread

im thinking of making a new general, so that the autistic spammer(s) can have the old one since they destroyed it. Would you guys lurk and bump?
Its all basketball except all levels can be discussed, nba, college, high school and international.
thoughts

kemba mvp

they would swarm that too
enjoy this one before they come broski

AI no question

What's the furthest this nuggets team got?

i think it was the WCF, or the round before.

Explain to me why Boston won't dominate the East for the next decade

I don't understand the Clippers defense

their overhelping is really stupid and obvious to everyone in the arena

if Marcus "Smart" gets injured, will the C's lose?

damn Kyrie STILL getting carried

god dream

>they're much better than their record

The only thing that would make this night a whole lot better is if the thunder choke again

>OKC get another game with terrible officiating
Not even against them, this game sucks both ways.

>PHO
>MLW
It's PHX and MIL you idiot

Reminder that OKC have to win 3 games in a row just to get to .500 where as the Celtics would have to lose 9 in a row to get to the same

>The Celtics literally won without ALL 3 of their best players

HAHAHHHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAAHHHAHAHHA

>implying the Celtics won't lose the next 69 games

wow kyrie mvp hes so necessary for his team to win games

...

CAN'T TOUCH THIS

Did you guys know that Thunder have yet to beat a western conference team

>all these injuries all at once
>still win

I can't tell if the Celtics are cursed or blessed

>take a long bath followed by a large dump
>check on the hornets-celtics game one last time
damn how will /nba/ ever recover?

melo is cancer. they aren't rebounding worth a shit. they've had 2 or 3 really good ones but the rest are just shit.
Cavs are getting used their number 2 guy being down.

this guy is gonna be pop-tier.

>pop-tier

Willie Reed is literally DeAndre Jordan with touch

DeAndre to Cleveland when?

Wilt would be Deandre Jordan in today's NBA.

triangled

Nah willie reed is not as athletic as deandre. good back up but not DJ.

nice heat run to start half

>being so shook at losing Kyrie that you hide in a candlelit scented bubble bath for the duration of the game as you cry into the tub and shyly peek at the game score whenever you work up enough courage to do so

Celshits fans, everyone

lol that's a cute belief you got there.

are jazz fans the most delusional fans?

Imabine if the best three pl- nevermind imagine if Lebitch gets injured.... The cavs wouldn't win a single game! You faggots have to give it to the Celtics on that regard

check out this giannis dunk he just did

streamable.com/35iz0

fuck the celtics

its aigh

For a really smooth, athletic guy his dunks are so hideous and awkward.

it just sucks he is too fucking lanky to make it look good. that right there is an impressive dunk

Why didn't no one tell him to fix it when he was
younger? Isn't his dad a basketball player?

>Lonzo Ball

>Westbrook: You should have joined us when you had the chance
>Griffin: I have everything I could ever need here
>Westbrook: *points to rafters*

>le has no half court sets man

I'm going to love reading the long, in-depth article written three years from now about how the Lakers got swindled by LaVar.

>le bust man

Our best player is Tatum though

Giannis isn't all that, Legod will spank that "Greek" ass in the playoffs.

holy shit the refs in the jazz vs heat game are fucking terrible

Seething

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Spurs basketball. The play style is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Pop's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these plays, to realise that they’re not just effective- they say something deep aboutLIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Spurs basketball trulyAREidiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the strategy of Pop's existential play: “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as R.C. Buford's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them

>Get Jayson fucking Tatum in the draft
>pick up a high first round pick in the process

AINGE'D

How do Lakersfags feel about the Celtics being so good while their team is shit even though they started rebuilding the same year?

honestly? feels bad man.

spurs looking like some old men out there

To be fair, the Celtics' rebuild wouldn't have gone so fast or gone so well if the Nets hadn't been dumb as fuck.

Meanwhile the Lakers spent hella assets on Dwight and Nash lmaooooooooo

mark my WORDS shitters


MY RAPTIES WILL DEFEAT THE CELTICS ON SUNDAY

HOLD UP
*gets technical*
So you're saying
