Someone redpill me on Brandon Wright. What is his game (compare him with someone else)? Is he a decent backup center?
Michael Sanchez
I'm a spurs fan, but come on there's a reason we never won till we got Duncan.
Isaiah Lopez
Just ignore this bum talking about generational talents, he's trolling. Let's wait it out in the LD
Ryder Gray
Is Dunn good now or something? Did the Wolves fuck up? Why are Wolves front office such shit.
Brody Lewis
>I'm a spurs fan, but come on there's a reason we never won till we got Duncan. Robinson's sidekicks until Duncan was Sean fucking Elliiot and Vinnie del Negro. If Robinson had Kevin Johnson or Stockton the Spurs would've at least made the finals.
Robert Harris
Thibs doesn't give his rookies any playing time unless he absolutely has to
Lincoln Young
D'Angelo Russell is gonna be out of the league by this time next year
Brandon Nelson
>if Robinson had a generational point guard he would have made the finals
gee really?
Bentley Moore
I'm so proud to be a bulls fan. We beat teams that are gonna try to make the wcf while our ownership is trying to force a tank. We sold high niko. Lelicans got scamed. Imagine us in 2-3 years. It shouldn't take 8 years for a rebuild #trusttheprocess #thisishowyoudoarebuildyoufaggotsinphilly
Aaron Hernandez
I hate Thibs. His insistance on crazy minutes and never playing rookies is so fucking short-sighted.
I think D'Antoni is going to fuck me off on the Rockets in a few years for similar reasons. Short rotations and not developing players ends up being a headache long-term.
Owen Kelly
You can give thibs the best bench in the league and he'll still over play his starters to the point that they fall apart Look at boozer, rose and noah. Deng is a shell of himself.
Nathaniel Robinson
He plays like Drose
Dylan Brooks
Lonzo Bust*
Liam Howard
I guess the Grizz decided they didn't need him since they've got Parsons for that
Bentley Martin
He can jump high and catch lobs. I think hes pretty strong too, thats all I know
Jaxon Price
Regarding the generational talent convo from last threads, it just seems too early to crown Embiid and Simmons generational talents. Although they clearly have the potential to be especially Embiid. We'll just have to check back on their production and success in like 5 years or whatever.
Asher Rogers
>too early
are we forgetting that Lebron lead his team to the finals at age 23?
Caleb Richardson
>/nba/ during the Olympics
Hudson Ross
I said we're done discussing this
Sebastian Green
>I said we're done discussing this
Lucas Stewart
Being a generational talent has nothing to do with production. Porzingas is something possibly even rarer yet his production didn't fully show it yet
Charles Mitchell
What is going to happen if Cleveland beats the Celtics tomorrow?
James Cruz
>Being a generational talent has nothing to do with production
Jordan Sanchez
you don't get to decide when the conversation is over. I own this thread you little bitch.

All these niggas hella lame Kobe with the pump fake
Brandon Harris
Guys it's you know who here, sometimes I just don't know, should I just kill myself?
Cooper Rogers
I'm planning on ending it all when I turn 30.
Samuel Clark
L-Larold-kun... dont do it!
Landon Butler

Henry Carter
>had awful food poisoning all day >wake up in time to watch some comfy /nba/ can a nets fan explain to me how Allen isn't a more focal part of their offense
Caleb Morris
I did too.
That was now 3 weeks ago.
Age gives you better perspective (there's a major shift in your late 20s) and makes you realise your mortality.
And my life got a lot better in the last year. I don't have the same instrusive suicidal thoughts these days.
Kayden Thomas

Isaiah Torres
There's like one unironic Nets fan on this site. I don't think he's here right now.
Matthew Harris
Will LeBron help the sixers to stop blowing 20 Pont leads?
Blake Brooks
any veteran all-star would, so yes
Levi Cooper
so is he declining or not?
Juan Jones
>IT4 gets traded to LA >INSTANT rehabilitation >“My mentality is just to help this team in whatever role I’m in,” he said. “I would love to be a starter, but I’m on a new team that’s playing very well right now and I don’t want to mess any of that up. I’ll fit in where I fit in. When my name’s called I’m going to take advantage of my opportunity.
EXPECT THE PLAYOFF PUSH, LETS GO LAKERRRRSSS!!
Xavier Bell
No because the Sixers have literally 0 3pt shooting and adding LeBron or any other player that can't shoot 3s would make them redundant and even more prone to being blown out instead of blowing leads.
Easton Peterson
3pt shooting gets leads, not keeps them
Jacob Price
Prime LeBron wouldn't be having the issues current LeBron is having so yes.
Also LeBron has the worst defensive rating of all players that average 30 minutes or more.
Kayden Morales
Let this photo serve as a reminder that some Bulls fans wanted Wiggins instead.
Eli Reed
>Pelicunts had a massive lead at halftime >Choke it all away
Ethan Moore
Why do people hate GarPax again? They are about to do (a fairly watered down version) of what the Celtics did with way less assets
Thomas Jackson
We are beginning to see his one man army tricks fade. He won't be able to carry teams with his drive and kick game soon. But he'll probably still be top 5 at the position until he just completely falls off.
Ethan Long
The thought that this team never won a title makes me ill.
Jayden Murphy
I used to hate GarPax and love Thibs. Now I realize I was an idiot.
Kayden Peterson
>thibs kept rose and the starters in a blowout against the sixers >rose blows out his knee >team is never the same again
Beware Kat and jimmy
Jordan Wright
Bombs will drop in Boston Oh wait
Michael Diaz
they lost to a cripped bulls team yesterday and dunn wasn't even playing lmao
Adrian Lewis
Pls delete this post Please ;-;
Josiah Stewart
so it's over no more mvps or rings? what's his ceiling now?
Gabriel Jones
It's a minor miracle the Nets are as good as they are. They've barely had picks in years, traded all their veterans and cap space for whatever assets they can get their hands on but they are still nowhere near Bobcats bad when they easily could be. They might actually be good in the near future as they have their picks back from next season
Samuel Jenkins
bulls wiz thread?
Adrian Barnes
is dubs spuds worth watching?
Camden Rivera
Nice one Russel. Fucked it up for the Nets lol, so glad we got rid of this faggot ass snitch ass hoe.
Elijah Parker
Nobody relevant on the spuds is playing. Gonna be a bloodbath.
James Thomas
Are there any players that use the pump fake so heavily like Kobe now?
I remember Butler did 2 pump fakes to try and win the game the last two games near the basket. Against the Cavs LeBron blocked him and against the Bulls Markennen didn't try and block it mid air even tho he had the length to do so and Butler scored the go ahead FG.
Aiden Barnes
are the nets elite?
Evan Roberts
As a Spurs fan I'm not expecting much on the court because of injuries and such, but I'm still going to watch because I finished all my Rick and Morty DVDs and I want to study Pop's algorithms on the court.
Luke Brooks
embiid and wade
Jeremiah Diaz
To me the closest is Derozan, & then Kuzma.
Chase Evans
It'd be pretty meaningless.
James Jenkins
IT debut tonight?
Jeremiah Hill
>Kuzma.
Jonathan Martinez
Sadly, yeah. He's gonna fuck things up, I know it.
Asher Morgan
oh no no no no no no
Joshua Cooper
Now that ISO Joe is on the Rockets... Where is Belinelli going? what other bought out players are out there to grab?
Jace Peterson
Pump and lean in shot is super difficult and easy to block around all the athletes in today's NBA.
I don't think we'll ever see it again like Kobe and MJ did it.
Well seeing as Lonzo is out he'll probably be the primary ball handler tonight, which he likes
John Green
Unless he puts up last year's Westbrook's numbers, no. For rings, he'll have to go to a legitmately good team that can cover for him more and more. A team that has a coach and FO he can trust.
Chase Campbell
I love watching old MJ highlights. If I played in the NBA I'd want to copy everything he did plus get a 3pt shot.
Hudson Morris
slowmo
Julian Parker
And it's hilarious when people fall for it because the dude is so flat footed and never jumps early on his shot.
Lucas Phillips
I say at most he has a chance at 3 more rings. I think this year he has no excuses to not win His bench is better than gsw He's the best player for now And his main competition(gsw) have a chance to be knocked off their throne If he wins this year there's a chance gsw just implodes after the social media reception especially kd I think people forget the only time gsw won against a full squad was last year, and they had a better bench. The first time they beat the cavs was when kyrie and love was out The second time they played blew a 3-1 lead this is just my wishful thinking because I wanna see KD lose and cry on tv again.
Mason Foster
>pelicans
Jonathan Peterson
>Hubie Brown goddammit bros when is this old fuck gonna retire
Hudson Thomas
I fucking love that the 76ers refuse to call Doc Rivers "Doc". they always call him Glenn

Brayden Martin
Is IT starting? Lmao
Kayden Hill
>Starters give you this >Go to 2OT
AD is so gone. And Dinwiddle is gonna have to play for just $1.5 million next year until he can hit UFA.
Brayden Mitchell
i legit do not fucking understand dinwiddie
dude was complete trash on the pistons and couldn't hit a single shot to save his life, regardless of the scheme. now he can actually shoot, it's like a reverse fultz
Easton Evans
Brooklyn in 2ot with NO
Jaxson Baker
Remember during the offseason when I was posting about Lebum going to the warriors next offseason and you nogs laughed. Who's laughing now senpai?
Ryan Martin
Kenny Atkinson is pretty good coach. He was an assistant to Budenholzer during the prime Horford-Millsap years. Nets are running an offense the right way, but don't have enough pieces to win consistently. They're gonna be fine if they don't give out stupid contracts or draft busts.
Carter Gomez
off the bench
Benjamin Roberts
Damn the nba is soft, really should get rid of all fouls
Cameron Walker
Christ, is the WCF preview? This shit sucks
Jacob Foster
Idk if I’ve seen as poor three shooting in a short span as Acy there
