Los Angeles has some promising young pieces on the roster already.

I definitely think this year, in terms of shooting, could be anomalous for kawhi. He went from a good shooter to top 5 at a ridiculous percentage. There's not a chance he'll shoot as well as he did this year next year, or perhaps ever again.

The password determines the numbers after your name
So "Bob##password" would have the same numbers as "Tim##password"
That also means that if "Bob" were to get banned, even if he changes his name, his trip is still banned. They can detect ban evasion this way (along with you using the same file names).

>>67277552
Did he pay the refs to let PG shove Demarre Carroll into the Raptors bench? Or perhaps to let PG sell a weak-ass shooting foul against Norman Powell earlier in the 4th? Most games involving any teams have bad calls that go both ways. Deal with it, senpai.

>>67277848
>you should hear captains jackasses latest podcast
>>67277848
We all watched the game. The calls weren't that bad. Indiana had some bs called for them especially in games on their home court. Getting a few extra calls is part of home court advantage senpai. Of course PG whined about it after the game like a lil bitch, he whines about the calls every fucking time he loses which is why he has 3 techs in a 7 game series.
Being banned during game 7 where your team wins and advances to the next round for the first time in 15 years is a pain i do not wish on my worst enemy.

>>67278105
Brooklyn is so fucked. So very very fucked.
First they're broke as fuck for paying D Williams who was total trash to leave.
Then they were forced to pay Joe Johnson because no one wanted to trade for him and he wouldn't leave.
Now they have no draft picks, no all-stars and no money.
>>67278105
Jesus Christ, the Nets are fucked aren't they? All those draft picks they gave up. Better get used to that spot in the basement.

>mfw Rondo fucked the Mavs who traded their draft pick to the Celtics just to rent him for half a season
>>67277970
They both fouled each other at the same time. Given its DeRozan on the Raps home court and some serious hustle by him, it's a fair call, in general it's a 50/50 call.
>Boston has 8 picks this year

>>67283460
nah, north of Charlotte. He lives in Greensboro.
What
>>67283622
Probably opting out and resigning a more team friendly deal that will allow them to spend more money improving the team around him. Dirk is late in his career and isn't still playing for the money.
>>67283622
he's going to cuck himself and resign for even less so cuban can sign shits like dwight and defrozen
>>67283622
it'll be to save them money so they can afford to compete next year
even if the team didn't pay him, dallas would probably crowdfund his salary, he's never going to be low on funds
>thunderfan fw the spurs sweep his shit team
>>67283622
>>67283643
>>67283651
>>67283659
if that's the case they should re-structure both Wesley Mathhew's and Chandler Parson's contracts; those are FAT and both have under-performed.
daily reminder paul george is going to sign with the raptors
if you can't beat 'em join 'em
>>67283690
or they can take the paycut that dirk is offering them rather than pissing off their younger players who still want to earn money
>>67283690
well dirk is old school and actually is willing to sacrifice for his team
parsons and matthews both had career altering knee injuries and both know this is probably the last big contract either of them will have. no way they take any paycut
>>67283752
>>67283764
Well at some point the line has to be drawn when players are receiving $10+ mil. annual salaries and can't even average 20 points a game. Pissing off players that suck and under-perform should not be punished financially imo.
>inb4 teams were fully aware of the risk of signing a player for that much money

I'm pretty sure that the team wouldn't be able to restructure their contracts without the players agreeing to it anyway, and with both of them earning so much, why would they?
>>67283929
Awful
Bros I have a serious question: how do you deal with refball? I've been watching bball for a long time and it's always seemed like there's only been one player or team that gets a lot of refball. MJ and the Bulls, Kobr and the Lakers, Wade and LelBron and the Heat. It's not that bad when it's just one team, because there's always some really good team like the Spurdoras who can beat the refs.
But over the last few years I've noticed a lot more blatant refball in almost every playoff series. It's starting to take a toll on my love for the game, I feel like I'm watching WWE. Before 2010 I could just skip the Lakers/Heat playoffs games and watch pretty fair series without much refball, but now the refball is almost everywhere. I watched every first round series this year and the only one that had very little refball was Celtics vs Hawks.
man this general is really dead as fuck.
i'm doing my best to keep the dialogue going but there is really not much else to say.
hopefully the games will be exciting today.
>>67283947
Can you at least agree the Memeiors are the villains
>>67283971
they always do it to a championship team or potential Finals contender.
>>67283696
down with this tbqhwyf
>>67283946
Yeah you're totally right. I'm just pissed that players can get away with under-performing and still be paid that much money.
Can contracts not be made void if a player doesn't play up to the standard a team expects? If not, teams should start making clauses for that.
>>67283696
why would he leave one shit team in a small market to join another shit team in a small market?
thats like KD leaving OKC to go to Sacramento
>>67283992
any team with lebron is still the villian, only nu-/sp/edditors would disagree
>>67283690
you can't restructure NBA contracts. also parsons is opting out too, though i guess he wants to earn more someplace else.
>>67277219
>>67283978
The general is dead because the playoffs this year have been boring; there have been too many games ending in blowouts and the quality of basketball has been pretty shoddy for playoff standards.
>>67284030
literally only casuals hate lebron
>>67284010
>If not, teams should start making clauses for that
unless every team did it, then the player would just go to the team that didn't offer it
and if every team did start doing it, then the players would strike, and the public gets pissed off with the owners much quicker than the playeers

>>67284503
oh fuck someone posted an image jesus christ the internet sucks these days
>>67283929
Portland is automatically the good guys because they are the realest niggas in the league, they are possibly the worst team still in the playoffs, and they are playing against the villains.
Atlanta, Toronto, and Oklahoma are mid tier because it would be exciting to see them pull off the upsets.
San Antonio, Cleveland, and Miami are pseudo villains but if they play the Warriors they become good guys
Warriors are the only true villains, UNLESS they win the whole championship without Curry. If they do that they will be based.
>>67284535
imo they should trade griffin now, and try to keep CP3 long term
>>67284556

>>67284535

>>67284535
No, that just means Doc Rivers isn't a complete fucking moron who can see the obvious. They want the huge salary increase from the TV contract.
But, yes, it could be over. It'll be interesting to see if they try to trade them or not.

Seriously? They looked like they were allergic to defense, playing tough, and playing physical with the Warriors in game 1.
If Portland wants to win a game, they're going to have to become physical forces and make Golden State work for it. Yesterday's game was boring as hell.
