JAMES HARDEN IS THE ALBERT EINSTEIN OF THE NBA

Lmao, Laker fans were saying he was hitting jumpers in this game. Why they lying?

More like bricking jumpers KEK. Nice offensive game, KEK.

hey pb you smell what the rock is cooking? notice the thunder in 10th place?

>being so assblasted that ingram scored 17 points on 50% shooting that you feel the need to post an anti-lakers general

this must mean we're back lakeybros, goddamn, it feels like a god dream in here

Celebrating 17 points against a tanking team is like celebrating getting first place in the special Olympics. To most elite players that would be an off game.

Holy shit you are so fucking mad

this

This thread owns. Just like how I own noobs in the wilderness with L33T combos.

>tfw OKC had arguably the greatest big 3 of all time and they fucking blew it

he's gone, Larry...let it go.

This desu, are we really going to act like a second overall pick getting 17 points against a shit team is special?

posting broken dreams

Ingram's strength is attacking the rim. The guy went from a twig who couldn't take contact to a respectable slasher with the wingspan to either get him a tough made shot or a foul.

If you give Ingram the slightest bit of space that he would get in Boston vs God awful centers he'd be shooting 55% a game.

All 3 of these players are going to have MVPs after this season. What a retarded ass franchise.

No it's not his strength. He shoots 53% at the rim, below league average. That's not a strength.

He has no strengths offensively. He just has things he's less ass at.

How come Lakerfags use "what if scenarios" to justify why their players are shit?
>"if Ingram was on the Celtics he'd be Kevin Durant"
>"If Lonzo had a jumper he'd be the GOAT"

muh luxury tax

You can count on one hand the teams willing to pay the luxury AND repeater tax on one hand

pb i can't imagine being so BTFO

Not even the Warriors have 3 MVPs. The Thunder had THREE and blew it.

S E E T H I N G

Statistics don't tell you much, especially in the NBA.

Thunder went from Durant, Harden and Westbrook with unlimited potential to the chucker trio of old Melo, PG13 and Westchuck.

Durant loved to play with Harden. Presti made a huge mistake breaking up that core. Durant and Harden were great friends. If Presti used his brain and traded away Serge and amnestied Perkins the Thunder would have dominated the decade.

can't argue with that

Use your eyes. He's bullying guys at 190lbs. Imagine if he gets up to 235, he'll be knocking fools over Bad Porn style.

All because they were jews over a few million.

Oh look another "what if" post to deflect why he's bad.

>Imagine
OH GOD, LAKER FANS USING MORE WHAT IF SCENARIOS.

SKELETON WILL NEVER BE 235, SHIT HE MAY NEVER EVEN BE 210

He's an elite driver already, largely due in part to his quick first step, large strides and unnaturally good handles for someone his size. In that way, he is similar to KD. The shooting comparisons never made sense to me, Brandon never had NBA 3pt range

>mfw watching celticsfags lose it over a meaningless lakers win in november

yall pathetic af lmaooo, snakes we'll be waiting for you in the finals

GUYS IMAGINE IF DEANDRE JORDAN DEVELOPED A JUMPSHOT, HE COULD BE BETTER THAN KAREEM, IMAGINE IT

Because it's easy to see that Brown is benefiting from getting wide open 3s and Ingram is struggling because he has to attack the basket with zero air space.

Ingram is a full year younger than Brown, is 3 inches taller, 4 inches taller in wingspan and already has more advanced slashing moves than Brown. Brown is just hitting the wide open meme 3 right now that can literally be taught by big men like Brook Lopez.

i remember when someone, maybe it was based Hinkie, said that the celtics fans here were the source of everything bad on /nba/

i now know this to be the one absolute truth

Oh look the post above mine is another imagine post. Can Lakersfags say anything in present tense?

...

>letics absolutely losing it over a regular season lakers win

what the fuck is wrong with you guys?

>the absolute STATE of laker fan bball iq

Imagine if Rubio had a jump shot bros. He might be the greatest point of all time.

This is why you would be a shit NBA analyst on the level on John Hollinger.

You can't project anything because you don't watch games and are too afraid to admit the truth.

how long are yo going to keep up this spam?

They're super insecure. Randle is a better player than Smart, they are afraid Ingram will be better than Brown and Lonzo better than Tatum.

If we're being accurate

Randle > Smart
Ingram > Brown
Zo < Tatum

This could change of course, and it may be fairer to compare Kuzma and Tatum since they play the same position

>"more advanced slashing moves" averages a lower FG% in the paint than Brown
>"imagine if Brook Lopez taught him how to shoot 3s'
>"look at these metrics, he's super tall and long, but I forgot to mention he's also like 185 pounds"

Lakers arguments are the worst, literally nothing but hypothetical, lies, and half truths.

Imagine if John Wall could rebound like Prime Dwight, he'd be the best PG ever!

to make it even more hilarous dumb mother fucker danny ainge drafted smart OVER randle lmaoo

i remember being mad we didnt get smart but boy did we dodge a bullet lmao

They don't play the same position though.

>give me one sentence to describe the laker fanbase

Kelly Olynyk is going to teach Hassan Whiteside how to shoot 3s guys and Whiteside will be the best ever.

their both "forwards"
lakers and celtics don't play traditional lineups aside from guard, forward, big anyway

celtics often play guard guard guard forward forward because smart can take bigger guys

Imagine if Kyrie Irving was 7 foot but still retained his 6'3'' handles

Celts bros we don’t even have to play a game for /nba/ to obsess over us lmaooooo we literally can’t lose

Imagine if Kobe was actually a better player than Lebron James

Warriors suck, they're trash, imagine if the Warrior lost every game until the end of the season, they'd be the worst team in the league

Hahahahahaha don’t do laker fans like that celts bro!

Both are future stretch 4s, Ingram and Hayward are both better suited to the 3 than Kuz and Tatum

There's a big difference between a hypothetical and a projection. Saying Deandre will turn into a good shooter at age 29 is retarded. Saying Ingram will not gain more weight and become stronger at age 20 is retarded and why you should never get a job in drafting.

Imagine if Kobe could shoot over 50% a game

Imagine if Kobe didn't cry and get Shaq the boot, he could have been carried to 10 rings by Shaq instead of 3 by Shaq.

they do, my friend

jaylen, ingram, kuz, tatum, hayward, all are forwards

I like how you ignored the other arguments completely because you had nothing to argue about that, is this the famous Lakerfags Selective Reading?

>things that will never happen

I can taste the salt from here
God dream.

Nope. Tatum and Brown are wings. Forwards don't exist anymore by the way.

Imagine if LeBron wins the next 5 finals he'd be the goat, imagine it guys, if you imagine hard enough it's a fact.

>thunder suck
>cavs suck
>lakers are a playoff team
>celtics run the league

goat timeline

good post this is the quality content i come for

This dude is so ugly artists can't even make him look good

No he isn't. He's bretty good. And the Laker's won. Time to go to bed now.

Call it whatever you want
But remember this one absolute truth
Jaylen Brown is a small forward because his dumbass can't dribble and chew bubblegum at the same time

>not being on nofap

According to my eye test Lonzo is making 90% of his shots, the statistics don't tell the whole story.

Imagine if Lakers didn't spend the last 5 years drafting busts. They might be at the Sixers/Timberwolves/Celtics level instead of a sub .500 team.

I'm done. Just blowing celties out left and right makes a man tire, I must induce a god dream in order to get ready for tommorow's game.

Remember
Ingram > Brown :^)

If you watch the games you'd know the Mavs are a Warriors Caliber team, don't look at the stats, use your eyes.

What does advanced slash moves have to do with FG% in the paint? Do I have to break down every Jaylen Brown shot in the paint and every Ingram shot in the paint to show you why and how he has more advanced moves than Brown? Watch the games. Look at the kind of shots they're taking then you'll become a good scout and not just a professional shitposter

Kek

Imagine if Lakers had their draft pick this year. All this losing would actually mean something. Not really though because they would still draft a bust.

Ummmm you do know slashers finish inside the paint right? If you can't post a good paint percentage how are you gonna say he's a good slasher.

>LAKERS WIN
>/nba/ CHIMPS OUT
>UNIQUE ID COUNT STAYS THE SAME

thanksgiving came early

According to my eyetest Ben Simmons is a statpadding bust. I've watched every Philly game this season over 10 times.

Imagine if Lonzo Ball didn't get BTFO by John Wall twice. He might still have some confidence.

>Lakersfag has blacked reaction images saved

lakers are 8th in the west

Do you really think the 8th seed in April will have an .444 win percentage?

lmao? you lamers do realize the Bulls were up by 20 at some point?
Do you seriously believe they didnt let you win to save the tank?

hahahahhahaha lamer fans are so blind hahaha enjoy your "win" hahaha

>gozoloft drinking again tonight

>posts saved cuckold pic

Are we seriously arguing over 1 or 2 more percentage points? Jesus Christ this board is a waste.

And hell yes Ingram is a better slasher because he does it all on Isos.

...

Holy shit. I didn't believe it until I checked. If they can hold this the entirety of /nba/ will have to stfu.

Imagine if Laker fans were intelligent. They wouldn't look like this.

LOL 10/10 may i save this good friend?

Not me but somewhat me.
Markkanen rekindled my enthusiasm for this sport. Used to watch a lot back in 2005-2010 when I played for my local team

No. We expect the lakers to break .500 and keep the 8th seed. Fag.

and this.....

and this....

LOL! THEY LET THIS WIN GO ON PURPOSE. OBVIOUSLY. LOL! LOL! LOL! XD

At least one person understands. Lamers stink

Jaylen Brown actually shoots 7% higher in the paint, that's pretty significant. And he's shit at ISOs if he can't even shoot the league average. That means he's not an efficient iso scorer.

nets pick for deandre jordan who says no?

and this...
