Vote for your GOAT

the wizards coach sounds like such a pushover

/nba/ told me the bucks were good

Giannis is the real deal. He just needs
more help.

It's the same man who got lucky he was coach as Durant, Westbrook, and Harden were coming onto the scene. And then he never really had any offensive system instead of iso shit.

AIDS

Injuries and lack of time to develop chemistry due to injuries

The Bucks are a meme

#freeGiannis

>A

Other teams have dealt with worse injuries without falling to 8th seed.

I've been hearing that shit for years. He just got Bledsoe and Jennings who's apparently been dominating overseas. He's overrated.

Miami has no Whiteside and Wade. Kings are about to win and screw up their top 5 pick

What the fuck is with this Luka Doncic hype? His stats are very underwhelming. Am I missing something here or is it just the media overrating Euros again?

Other teams didn't have to do it with a new coach and while adapting to new schemes

Wow, it's not like they have a dozen more games to make sure they stay behind whoever the fuck.

>27-10-5, 53% FG
>23 years old
>overrated

Giannis has GOAT potential.

how many regular season game are there?

Tbh BOS should really just sit Kyrie until the final three games of the season, and even then still keep him on restricted minutes.

I don’t see the point in him playing the next couple weeks

82

To keep him fresh, idiot

ffs, i meant how many are left.

>2nd opinion
Smart is out for the year no doubt

why are there so many injuries in basketball? just becaue the nature of the sport (+100kg guys jumping around) or because they play way too many gams per week while needing to travel long distances the whole time?

12-16

both; but notice all the injuries are coming now as the long season winds down slowly

Subtract the number of games played from 82.

ahhhh no tyler dont do her like that

They weren't very good with their old coach either.

its not even a good one, or a half decent one

wouldn't it be better to have a longer season where teams play only once a week? I mean, can't americans follow more than one sport at the same time?

FUCKING

I hate this meme.

You don't know how bad some of these lottery teams are. Some of these teams could go the rest of the season winning no games. No joke these lottery teams are laying eggs.

That was for different reasons

giannis fag-a-cunt-po doesnt make his teammates better.

If only the bucks had your defence

>that's the best meme Toronto can come up with
That is why HOU is OP and YYZ is BTFO

What the fuck did you just say? What does that even mean? Of course Giannis can't make other people better! No one can! Is he supposed to make them work on their game to no be shit? I'm sick and tired of hearing this comment. It's unbelievable. Here's Giannis dropping GOAT numbers as a 23 year old and all you idiots say is he doesn't make his teammates better. It's fucking stupid is what it is. Shut the fuck up.

Why do people claim the west is better when the east is much tighter in standings? I'm wondering if it's related to the west controlling the media.

So, Tatum's playing well.

our maymays are better than your maymays

The West has the top 2 runaway favorites to win the title, has a winning record in head-to-head matchups with the East for the vast majority of years this decade and (more often than not) didn't have teams with losing records squeaking into the playoffs.

How long has he been in the league? 4-5 years now? and he's only a 7th seed. at this point he's a stat padding fagnklet, make some noise in the playoffs then talk about his numbers.

i dont like giannis but hes teammates are shit

Could Roy Hibbert currently lead Texas Southern to the final four?

are you fucking serious right now?

I always hated this blatant logical fallacy.

Especially with LeBron. People say he makes his teammates better, until they play like shit, then it's suddenly their fault and LeBron suddenly has no effect on their play, then when it gets so bad that there's drama and turmoil, that player needs to be traded and LeBron is once again blameless despite being the leader and supposedly a God at making people better.

Then when they lose in the Finals the narrative is suddenly LeBron was carrying them the entire time, not elevating.

It's pure BS and a manipulative strategy to push narratives and mindlessly promote certain players above others.

Anyone that uses these narrative devices to push their biased argument is a brainlet.

The east has only had a winning record against the west one time since jordan retired

>anime faggot
>trying to tell me about basketball

this isnt pillow porn fag, you need to go back

anime is normie tier now. Even your favorite modern nba player watches anime. Just accept it because you're on the wrong side of history.

Listen to Zero Two-fag. He makes a lot of sense. Imagine if Giannis teamed up with prime Wade and Bosh. He'd have 2 rings at least, easy. LeBron wasn't making his anyone better when he crapped his pants in 2011. No, it is the Giannis haters who have AIDS.

You guys don't even watch college basketball. It's impossible for non centers to dominate in college because the rules and refs allow a lot more physical defense, don't call as many fouls for defenders being in improper positioning, and of course the №1 non 3pt shooting guard killer, zone defense.

You could put LeBron on a mid major team and he'd get called for offensive fouls and travels for all the bullshit he usually gets away with. And his teammates would brick their shots off his kick and drive passes more often leading to defense collapsing harder than you'd see in a NBA game. Drive and kick offense doesn't win as often as you'd think in college. He's probably still average 25ppg but would need to be more of a bullyball player under the rim and posting up outside of transition scoring.

The bucks really need to tighten their bench up but it'd gas their starters. If jason terry, tyler zellner, sterling brown, brandon jennings are gonna combine for 20-25% of your floor time and score fucking 7 points total it's a bit much to overcome

Drive and kick doesn't work because the 3pt line is shorter and defenders can recover and chase shooters off the line easier than in the NBA.

Side to side passing and pick and roll are king in college, not high key pick and roll you see the Rockets, Cavs, etc. do.

>only like 2-3
There's a legion of closeted naruto/dbz sleeper agents in every industry now whether you like it or not.

You think that's bad, you've never seen Hardenfags
>no way Westbrook deserved MVP, Harden was carrying a worse team last year!
>ignore the 3pt contest winner, 2 6moty candidates, 2 solid post players, 3nD PG and SF, and knock down shooters starting and on the bench, Russ clearly had more help with an underachieving Oladipo and Adams, Harden would make Roberson a knock down 3pt shooter, and make his bench keep a lead every time he sat out for 2 minutes!
