I'm glad we made some moves in the off-season.
Antetokunmpo looks promising
Tonight in the 4th Quarter the entire world saw why Draymond Green was robbed of DPOY 2 years in a row. He made more plays down the stretch in the 4th Quarter than Kawhi will make the entire series against OKC.

>>67337733
I remember when I was 12
Draymond Green is the first "closer" and "stone cold killer" in the NBA that does 2/3 his killing on defense and the other 1/3 on offense. This guy just takes over and wills his team to victory like few I have seen before. And that is in any sport. Amazing player and still getting better.
Cleveland stinks just like the Blazers in the 4th. Wew kobe
The Warriors have been THE LUCKIEST "championship" team in NBA history. They have never played a good team in the playoffs or the top stars on other teams have been injured. Honestly their championship should have an asterisk last season. 73 wins wasnt impressive this season and beating the Rockets & Blazers mean nothing. The Warriors are OVERRATED and will be exposed by a healthy Thunder team. Only real basketball fans know this.
>>67337753
Warriors let Lilliard gas himself out. Then turn up the D in the 4th quarter. Blazers had no adjustments for that.

Does anyone want DeMarcus Cousins on their team? Sure he is an outstanding player but he appears to be pure cancer for a team. Rodman worked for the Bulls because he was anchored by to all time goats in Jordan and Pippen and he had Phil Jackson as coach.

Who are the best coaches currently in the NBA?
Kerr
Pop
Carlisle
Budenholzer
Stevens
>>67338750
walton
>>67338750
If the question is just overall best coach (and not hottest currently), it's undoubtedly Pop.
>>67338791
Technically he hasn't coached yet so we can't say shit.
Toronto will get rekt in 4 GAMES
Whiteside>Lowry+demar
>>67337522
Currently? Cavs, in 5 or 6 maaaaaybe
With an in-rhythm, rust free Bosh? I'm gonna say it's pretty fucking close, closer than most people would think. Advantage is definitely to the Cavs, but Miami could steal a couple if Kyrie isn't playing well and LeBron fails to take over, and earn a couple on the backs of good veteran performances
Hilariously, I think Dragic would be the x factor in that series. If he manages to be a threat from outside and inside, with Bosh playing well, the Heat would have too many weapons for the Cavs to contain.
Are the odds of Leicester City winning the football championship equivalent to the Philadelphia 76ers winning the NBA championship?
>>67337522
i'm going with Chuck.
Cleveland sweeps entire Eastern Conference.
>>67339175
nope
it'd be like if Kentucky broke the Bulls record and then went 16-0
>>67337768
The warriors have been insanely lucky. Their championship from last year needs an asterisk because of the INSANE amount of injuries to their opposition. Their 73 wins this season isn't that impressive because the refs undeniably won them a couple, probably about 5 or 6 in reality but there's 2 that they for SURE shouldn't have won.
HOWEVER
There's no guarantee they wouldn't have won last year anyway, the only team that could have really beaten them was San Antonio and they got kicked in the 1st by an amazing performance from CP3. The healthy Cavs would have had more manpower but I honestly am not sure whether I would rather have a healthy Kevin Love who would take touches from Lebron OR the animal we saw in those finals. Like LeBron in super saiyan "give me the ball" mode might be worth two or three all stars, so yeah I think GSW still would be the favourite to win those finals. And, as much as I want to see the Spurs take it this year, I think Golden State are still the team with the best chance. Thunder have no chance against them because they have to out-offense a team in order to win and you are probably not going to out-offense the dubs.
Once again, the only team with a shot at stopping the Warriors are the Spurs and they very well may lose depending mainly on GSW's inside game because San An are capable of stopping Curry and Thompson at the 3 point line
Fuck this is a long post
>>67339181
Fo' Fo' Fo' Oh.....
>>67337927
I'm gonna say Ingram just cos he's safer. Simmons has a higher ceiling but way more bust potential. Depends a bit on which team gets 1st pick though. If it's LA, they NEED to take Ingram because he'd fit in much better with the team as a whole and he's ready to go, now. Simmons has a long way to go before he can be effective
You just cannot be a top flight star in the NBA these days if you don't have a jumper. It's fine in college but it'll get exposed in the big leagues. In the beginning, he'll just be a sligthly better rookie/sophomore Giannis. Greek Freak didn't start really balling til he started knocking down those mid range Js with regularity.
Really hope Jaylen Brown goes above Bender though. Bender has potential but he needs to be cultivated on a good team with a deep bench before he's ready to play.
>>67339186
A significantly less stupid analogy would be the Brooklyn Nets winning it all next year.

>pursue Dwight Howard
>When you have Brook Lopez on your team
No. No. No no no no no. Right now, Lopez is the better player. I don't mind the Rose idea because he's a cancer to the bulls who COULD be good, so may as well send him somewhere shitty. But fucking up the one good thing you have in Lopez to take a chance on a deteriorating Dwight is a horrible choice
>>67339395
cheated
>>67339399
Brooklyn is screwed either way.
So now that we know a Curryless Warriors is better than a fully healthy 5 seed, what would they be equivalent to?
A third seed in the west? A second?
I seriously believe this team could beat the Spurs as is in a seven game series.
>>67339412
Only because the Jew cheated him first.
>>67339422
Second seed. Almost third because their defense is not as good.
>>67339447
>not having Curry makes their defense worse
Their defense is better, Shaun Livingston is a way better defender than Curry.
>>67339418
Brooklyn isabsolutely FUCKED lol. There's literally no viable answer for their future. One of the only scenarios where I can see them getting better would take, for example, Russell Westbrook signing there, allured by big money and a decent market+a promise to make the game better. Sean Marks could be a promising GM. WB pairs well with Lopez. Then, because they're more appealing to free agents with a good duo like WB and Lopez (WB plays great with offensive big men, see Kanter) you can convince a free agent stretch 4 to sign there in a season or so (they have to sign there because BKN have nothing to trade). Ideally, you get Love but he's got 5 years in Cle, so you hope for Horford. Now, with that big three in place, you can trade some previously indispensable assets like Thad Young and make your bench better and now you might be in the 4th seed in the east or similar.
But all this hinges on you getting a top 5 player to sign with you on a fucking whim, and even then you're not even a championship team. I just gave Brooklyn two more quality as players and a better bench and they're STILL not out of the shithole. That's how bad they are.
Has relegation to the d-league ever happened for a team in the NBA? Cos I feel like it might have to for the Nets
>>67339462
turnovers like crazy. plus they have trouble getting rebounds if they can't knock down their jumpers.
>>67339484
They have these problems with Curry.
I don't understand what you're trying to do here.
>>67339502
they're a better defending TEAM with curry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWKQiZVBtu4
>>67339565
No like the stats literally have the team defense as more effective with curry than without. It seems unlikely but it's true, he just operates in the system better I guess

Derozan and Lowry are choke artists. Replace the two of them with one legit superstar and Raps would beat Miami in 5. If you dropped Lillard and McCollum onto the Raps, for those two, they would have a chance at the Cavs.
>>67341116
I don't put too much stock on FG% anymore because it honestly just grades your efficiency, not your play.
Derozan for the first time in his career put the team on his back and dropped 30 points, and looked confident playing for once in the playoffs..
But yeah they're both chokers. Lowry is just the worst of them.
