what's the point of teams like the hornets?

the same as all of the nba teams?

to make money

Uh, what? We have one of the best fanbases in the world when we're good.

You see what the Bucks are now? If the hornets had a giannis we'd be one of the top 5 most marketable teams in the league. There just hasn't been much to be excited about in years

>when we're good.
So, never?

>We have one of the best fanbases in the world when we're good.
You realize that makes you a shitty fan base

>Implying the Hornets have ever been good in the era of the Hornets
Even with Chris "Very Gay Person" Paul you were losers

The Twolves should've accepted this trade.

Barnes is 10x as good as Anrew Wiggins will ever be.

Just look at the warriors now. They always had a passionate fanbase, but their stadium would be empty if they had a roster like ours.

There are only a handful of teams with loyal fanbases: Bulls, knicks, lakers, celtics--and that's it.

is curry more skilled than jordan?

Lance Thomas 4-point play lol

Didn't think I'd hear those words today

yes

maybe because these are the teams that never changed location?

Ricky Rubio was a mistake

>MJ's son will never play ever again
fuck pop

why doesn't memphis tank and sell gasol or conley to a contender? they're gonna win like 35 games when conley is back get stuck in the 10-12 draft pick range

> dad is back

Cavs look tired and disinterested, and LeBron is (moreso than usual) not getting any fucking calls.

>LeBron is (moreso than usual) not getting any fucking calls.

>Curry don't get no calls

...

>Chandler Parsons was once a fucking all-star

Blows my mind

he's fast

>LeDecline
>Lavs

>Cavs halftime show is a busted fat girl dancing group

the absolute state of Ohio

Because their fans would desert them

Small market teams don't get the luxury of tanking

Parsons is feeling himself

t. twink

Porzingis isn't being as aggressive, must be the injrury

he lost all his power when he no longer bottomed for jeremy lin

he was playing too hard just like giannis, they can't sustain that level of play for long without getting injured(which they both did)

I'm legit surprised Porzingis is back so quick. That sprain looked nasty. Hope he's not rushed back while still injured.

Dude rolled his ankle. Shit happens. Could literally happen to anyone at any time. Says nothing about his overall ability to stay healthy.

kemba walker is fucking trash

hey, that american who told me the hornets have good fans, the stadium sounds like a fucking mortuary, you can listen to what the players say lmao

I'm a Celtics fan but the offence is fucking ridiculous
>Dude Just shoot threes lmao
>Dude rely on your PG on the 4th quarter lmao
Brad stevens is a genius at defensively but his offence scheming is god awful

actual Kings fan here

how are we going to fuck this up

Shut up falseflag

DO the Warriors even need Curry?

real horners tan here

why are we so shit?

they need draymond

This settles it - KD was always the engine and face of the Warriors, not Steph

Fat chicks trying to dance and fat guys playing the drums. The Cavs need to get some better entertainment.

Warriors without KD have won against OKC, Rockets and Spurs.

legod on trippy dub watch

Honestly his offense scheme was good in previous years, he literally just doesnt have the personnel to have a good offensive team. They're already overachieve as is, but without hayward, asking them to score 100 ppg is unfair to put on any coach. Pop couldn't get this team to play better offense. Not when your second best player is an aging big man scoring like 15 ppg and all options after him are rookies and sophomores (and smart). They'll be one of the best offensive teams in the east next year when haywards back and the kids develop more but for now they're doing better than they should on offense without hayward.

This year?

What has Steph accomplished without KD? Now look at the inverse. KD won more playoff games, series and more ASG appearances

And have won a title

steph won a chip without kd. kd got cucked by steph without kd

Your gimmick is old and stale

>steph without kd
2 finals appearances and a ring
>kd without steph
cucked by steph, blacked by lebron.

Uhm sweet munchkins falseflagging Laker fan, our team is factually a top 10 offense. Brad Stevens is a god, best defense and top 10 offense.

Tell that to KD’s jersey and a shoe sales

A true leader wouldn’t beg another leader to join them unless the “leader” wasn’t a leader at all

That’s why KD is more of an alpha than Steph. I would NEVER ask anyone to help me accomplish a goal. It’s either going to be me or it’s never going to happen

What kind of leadership skill was getting on your knees begging for someone to help you involve? Have some humility

LeCURRY

Was the universe being ironic when Marcus was born with the last name Smart?

I repeat, what's the purpose of teams like the Hornets?

>18 points in one quarter
>at home
>vs Warriors's C team

KD literally said he doesn't want to be the leader or face of the team because it takes pressure off him. And Curry's jersey sales have been the highest in the league for like 3 years.

shut the fuck up argentina whats the purpose of your country

I thought literally KD said it was Curry’s team? How is this still a debate?

But it does say something when he thinks Curry is the leader but never admitted Westbrook was the leader in OKC

someone explain the nuggets to me

How does it feel to speak the same language as drug cartel leaders?

what's wrong with Argentina?

you tell me bro, there are more Spanish speakers in the USA than in Argentina

LeBron needs to stay in his lane and keep being goat

remember when the pistons were at the top of the conference? goldshire farms remembers

Talented inconsistency. Can blow anybody out on a given night but somehow mange to regularly lose to the likes of the lakers

it's not he's shitposting, everyone including the coach say its curry's team

KD jersey sales is nowhere near close to Steph's for the last 4 years you dumb fuck

Fuck that bitch nigger C*rry

Any Warriors fans here?

Andre Drummond now has 92 assists this season 25 games in, more assists than he's ever had in a season

>goldshire farms

wtf is that image photoshopped? I don't remember lebron playing for the celtics but wearing a cavs jersey and crying during the game

>fully loaded cavs team
>can't be the kings

>warriors 3rd stringers
>beating the elite hornets

lmao /nba/ btfo again the larry disciples are domination incarnate

i only watch the big games now, or when we rest like 5 players

more fun watching random ass games like pistons/bucks or something instead

Is LaMidrange going to cry again and ask for a trade when Kawhi comes back and is the first option?

How can a black be blacked?

that boi isn't black

uhh the cavs are winning....

>cant beat the kings
>tied 11 minutes to go
what are u on?

Mr. 4th Korver in the building

>it's a kyle korver hits a bunch of clutch threes and lebron gets all the credit episode

the most boring of episodes

K K K

did you watch the 3rd quarter senpai? lebron was lightning, only reason they arent down by 15. kill yourself

/nba/ related photoshop requests?

Unless I have reading comprehension problems, I am speaking about KD

Imagine needing to photoshop an image like this

Steph's cock in my mouth. mmm

cody zeller look like he was 50 years old, wtf is wrong with white people

korver left lebron right

The discredit for Korver's ability in the clutch continues

>LeBron cockroach is mad

Lmao what's new?

Everything you said is true but I also feel that Stevens likes to experiment too much with his lineups... Is just infuriating sometimes, and they take way too many threes

wtf u smokin?
no they not...

new /nba/ husbando

Imagine resorting to this level of projection

hes incredible in the clutch and deserves a lot of credit but its not like lebron didnt do anything

He could probably beat the tar out of you blackie. Wtf is an Argentina anyway?

Now that LeBron is a better 3pt shooter than Curry, should he be MVP?
