RACKETS

>the absolute state of the nba

We should just use this

The man so nice they named him twice

Why does a shitty little borough like Brooklyn get to have their own team, never understood this

Just want to give a quick shoutout to my boy LM. ROTY is yours to lose. Ben Simmons is not a rookie and probably a commie too.

legod bless your day

harden finna cuck lebum

2.6 million people live there

>little borough
>little

Kek, thats like less than half of finland.
Why dont we have a team?

because finngolians can't hoop for shit you silly goose

because your men are named lauren lmaggmao

Because you guys would be garbage. Like even worse than the Mavs.

ebony... and irony...

Wrong. Ever heard of Koponen or Möttölä? Or Larry Merkanon?

Not if we draft well

Guess who these stat lines belong to. One is from an under performing starting pg, the other is from his back up.

>Ever heard of Koponen or Möttölä? Or Larry Merkanon?
literally who

casual

You want one?

Find an investor, or move an existing team.

The Helsinki Kaalikääryleet can start playing as early as 2020

busto balls and jordan chuckerson?

We'll take the lakers.

lonzo's second month has actually been worse than his first lmaoooooo

if you add all his shooting percentages together they don't even reach 90% lmfao! most guards shoot close to 90% with just their free throws!

its gonna be close i think

SAAAAAAAAVE MEEEEE

good lord his shooting percentage is just insanely bad

yep, you win

it's an outside chance, but right now the Lakers could make the playoffs if their bench didn't need to play catch up every time they got into the game. move Nance and the bust to the bench and start Clarkson and Kuzma. I'm pretty sure anyone with half a brain can see this but Luke refuses. Does he fear backlash if he sends bust to the bench?

>.294 on the field
>.222 on the 3 pt line
>.368 on the FT line
what the fuck happened? wasn't he pretty good in college? He's even missing wide open shots, when he had no problem hitting contested shots in college. It's like he lost his passion for the game after he got into the league.

he's trash and he can't get his shot off properly against non 6'0 white bois

that bum is shooting fucking free throws at a historically bad percentage, i've never seen this kind of shookness

>tfw based drummomd shooting better freethrows than guards
feels good man

How does a perimeter player like MJ compete with a much more efficient 3 point machine like Stephen Curry?

Or is efficiency overrated?
And how do you know the difference between a player who cherry picks easy shots and who is truly efficient?

Curry can do more than just shoot threes.

Lonzo Ball is a spoiled suburban upper middle class kid. He's not built for the NBA.

umm

Curry is a millenial, he comes from the hardest working generation. Ball is a pathetic Gen Z product.

I never understood how they pretty much have the same colors as the San Antonio Spurs

There are only so many colors to go around, tbqh

If he could score his stats would label him as an elite rookie. Like this nigga misses at least 3 easy layups a game.

are you retarded?

Can
>we
challenge the Warios?

Teams with both a top 10 offense and a top 10 defense:
Warriors
Rockets
Raptors

The rest of the teams in the league don't matter. This is the Rapties year.

So these look nothing alike?

you know they have alternate kits with different colours right?

So who are the Clippers blaming for the Griffin injury, still CP3?

That fold over shit is ugly as fuck. Step your shit up nike.

I saw that and thought the exact same thing

So the Spurs haven't been wearing black and white jerseys for a long as time now?

WOAH..

went to the nets game on friday it was fun. cuban sandwich was a bit pricey but it was good

>you live in a timeline where the LA Lakers drafted another bona fide scrub while still stinking up the league

>30% from the field
>Professional basketball player

I'm not saying they wear them at the same time. I'm just saying that it's pretty much the same color scheme.

>muh rebounds and assists
>be point guard
>meant to be first option of attack in the modern NBA
>can't wait to get rid of the rock
>can't drive because will miss layup because tall but built like a twig
>can't shoot for shit so everyone just leaves you open
>benched for the 4th quarter because you'll lose the game for the team every time

Nice no.2 pick. Come back to Australia when you need actual talent again amerifats.

Future of the league!!1111!!!!

Lakers drafted another scrub. I don't understand how you can actually draft a guard that can't fucking hit free throws in 2017.

C:\Users\oem\Pictures\Saved Pictures\LeBron.png

this lebron guy is pretty good at basketball

I don't think lebron gives a shit about mvp. He's chasing Jordan before his knees explode.

>Lakers actually think he isn't going to Philly the moment the season ends
>c...come play with big bust brand

I think the shookening is transfering over to Lonzo. John Wall must have done something to him when the lakers won against the wizkids...

honestly, if lebron wins he stays

I hate this whole stat thing. There are so many people who don't watch games but argue based on stats they see on the internet.
But LBJ really deserves the MVP this season

>lost last year
>still there
so what's up

He can't be this bad, can he? He can't even make free throws

Just because you can pack an area densely with Niggas, Jews and Pajeets doesn't make it worth anything

so fucking what, are you autistic?

Bros i just noticed the raptors and rockets both wear red jerseys....one of them needs to change their colors...

>kawhi doing contact now

When Kawhi leaves the rejuvenation chamber will the rest of the league be ready?

Frank Mason is the next Isaiah Thomas

...

6

six

You mean Yogi Ferrell?

>Among the teams that could make a move for Gasol are Toronto, Cleveland, Boston, and Portland. The Celtics and Cavaliers are seen as the class of the East, with Toronto a notch below. That could set up a potential bidding war that Memphis could use to its advantage in landing the best package for Gasol, 32, a former defensive player of the year.

>Industry sources tell me that the Raptors are open to moving center Jonas Valanciunas and have young players the Grizz might be interested in pursuing, including Jakob Poeltl and Lucas Nogueira.

Think Ujiri is mad enough to do it bros? I hope not

Yogi has been shook ever since he missed his free throws against Boston

>Lou Williams ISO for the next month

Just give him player of the month now lmao

Can cavs win with a Marc Gasol against the Warriors w/o Frye Iman and TT

>only wanting tweets from dungeon masters

>then he'll win the tony

GAYEST PICTURE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

kind of rude

i rather be rude than fucking gay

John Wall status?

SHOOK

things that kill the celtics

>No structural damage in left knee with sprained MCL for Clippers All-Star Blake Griffin. Recovery could take two months, source says.

So there's still a chance they make the playoffs over la?

Paul George is the third worst isolation player in the league. He also turns it over on a massive 12% of isolation possessions, 2nd worst in the league amongst qualified players.

stats.nba.com/players/isolation/?Season=2017-18&SeasonType=Regular Season&CF=GP*GE*15:Time*GE*15&sort=PPP&dir=-1

god dream

he should have left for houston with cp3

Who fucking cares? OKC brought him in so that they never have to play OT

The picture he's holding doesn't make sense

is it possible for Zo to become more shook than John Wall?

>finfag is this cucked

No overtime tonight.

Marc Gasol is coming to my rapties!

JV + Potlel + Noguera! We have too many centers anyways. We cant lose!!

why does /nba/ act like the lakers were supposed to be good? feels like /nba/ got trolled by larry again.

On the other hand, Paul George is the 5th best spot up player amongst those qualified, 90th percentile and scoring 1.3 points per possession.

These constitute 15% of Paul George's possessions, whereas isolations are 16% of his possessions.

>this
Lakers are a team of rookies and mismatched vets. did /nba/ really think a team with Brick Lopez and Julius "i hope he plays well today" Randle?
lmaoooo

She's a big girl

Lakers wasted an overall second pick. LOL
