Will the Lakers be OK if they lose their pick? I'm not sold on Randle but Russell and Clarkson seem like a good young backcourt

Lakers need

Whiteside sees to be the best choice

>a versatile 3 with a shot

Ingram?

I like Simmons but if we draft him we'd have to move Randle.

Because the team's location is regardless, it's only the organization that matters.

And the Spurs and OKC have developed into great organizations. Mainly because Spurs developed itself and set a standard for others to follow, and OKC follows that Spurs system.

Cleveland is still a shit organization and only has a good coaching staff due to LeBron's presence and influence. As soon as he left and before he came you could see how bad they were.

Let's be real here, they wouldn't sweep the cavs.

Nice try tho. Matchups wise Cavs are pretty equal with the Thunder so it usually comes down to who is shooting the three better that day. Usually when OKC are matched up with a smaller team they dominate the glass and punish them for going small and if they are against a big team they match them as they're one of the biggest as well. Then you have the fact they have one of the most dominant wings in basketball history with KD and Westbrook, but their backcourt is a little weaker due to Dion's streakiness.

Tristan Thompson, Kevin love, Shumpert, and JR, are all big guys that can shoot well from long range. Something all of OKC's bigs don't have.

>>67630200
And with the Raptors their backcourt during the regular season is the second best imo, Raptors haven't won against OKC because their shoulder is weak and they do well at guarding Lowry and DeRozan with Dion/Westbrook, and Roberson.

I think Raptors even in their shitty playoff form would have gotten at least one game.

This injured Heat team would have been swept tho.

One of the reasons I think the Thunder are doing so well right now is because of that game one against the Spurs.

It exposed their lack of hustle and commitment as a team at being consistent and it really drove the point home to them that they were kidding themselves if they actually thought they could win a championship, just like KD said in an interview.

It's because of that blowout they had to meet and rise above the challenge that is the Spurs and they did it marvelously against all the odds.
It's because of that high pressure situation they've risen above and become better from it.

If they played against the Raptors or Heat they would probably still have the same problems they had in the regular season
>>

the Thunder are doing well because they were actually allowed to play physical and abuse the old-ass Spurs. Doubt they'll get that leverage against GS.

That makes no sense. Bogut and Draymond are among the most physical players in the leauge, why wouldn't they be "allowed" to return the favor with Adams, Ibaka, Kanter, Westbrook?
OKC is still just as young and athletic as the Warriors, don't let Curry and Klay trick you, a lot of their core players and bench is filled with veterans and damaged goods like Bogut (31), Iggy (32), Barbosa (33), and Livingston (30).

It's definitely Shaq. He's got 100 brands behind him.

One of the reasons Jordan is so successful is because he didn't water down his brand name by backing tons of products and only stood behind a select few that were astronomically successful.


LeBron has maybe 10 brands behind him now? He did a temporary thing with Sprite, he's on Kia now, there's Nike, what else?

but OKC went 2-2 against the Spurs this season, they matched up well, meanwhile they can't win a single game against the Warriors
also the Raps are the only competition the Cavs have in the East, look at who they've played

They've had two game sevens against equally shitty teams. Their superstars are choke artists most of the time and they've never been to an ECF.

so if a team can't win a single game against another and they meet in the playoffs the roles are magically gonna reverse? i don't understand your reasoning
especially when they're going up against a deep historic team who has the best record in NBA history and a 2 time MVP leading them

the Thunder won against the Spurs because they matched up well against them in the regular season, last year when the Spurs lost to the Clippers they were also 2-2 in the regular season

And it's fucking true you mong. Craptors were number 2 seed in a weak East and barely made to the ECF. Cavs were a number one seed, faced equally shitty teams, and swept them off the face of the Earth. Playoffs are a different animal; competition is better, fans are louder, and the pressure to win or go home is ridiculously high.

>the Thunder won against the Spurs because they matched up well against them in the regular season, last year when the Spurs lost to the Clippers they were also 2-2 in the regular season

The Thunder may have "matched up well" against the Spurs but the Spurs were the favorites to win and demolished them game one and got refballed game two. OKC turned it up another level and got the upset. They can do it again against GS.
>>
>>67631254
>This spurdora excuse
JUST
>>
>>67631162
OKC won because they used a lineup that was only experimented with in the later part of the season. Coaches tend to experiment with lineups in the playoffs because you get time to analyze a specific team and their weaknesses, in the regular season you stick to a main lineup/strategy and stay consistent with minimum changes until the later part for playoff previews.

Never show your hand in the regular season and only feel each other out. You can't take regular season games serious because you don't want a injury and you want energy for the next game. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
While the playoffs are no holds barred.

Reminder that last season, the 60W first seed 5 All Stars Atlanta Hawks won the RS series 3-1 against the Cavs.

Yet in the ECF without KLove and a useless banged up Kyrie, they swept them.

You are deluding yourself if you think this ECF won't be a sweep.

It also shows that the playoffs are completely unpredictable and the Raps and Thunder still have chances to win it all.

No one thought Portland would do as well as they did against the Warriors or even make the playoffs.
No one at ESPN thought the Spurs would lose except Chris Broussard of all people. After that first game against the Pacers everyone thought Raptors would lose due to the Raptors shooting slump yet despite that awful shooting they're now in the ECF.

No it means the regular season doesn't mean shit, especially since the Cavs were coasting for most of the way.

Seriously, the Raps will win one game at best but even then, I can't see it since the Cavs are the best 4th quarter defensive team and no matter how much points they trail at the start of the 4th, I can see them turning it around against this pathetic offensive team.

By all measures, he had a horrific rookie season. From off the court immature shit, to on the court performance. The stats themselves aren't terrible, but they don't really tell the story about how horrible his defense was, how he was kinda a chucker...and more importantly, how much better the 6ers were when he was OFF the floor since Noel and Okafor can't play together. And then he got injured.

Pretty much deserving of a 9001st spot on any rookie power rankings.

I like that Cleveland is a miserable shithole of a sports city. Deep down I know that no matter how bad things might get for me, I can always fall back on the fact that at least I'm not a Cleveland sports fan. So I really can't have the Cavs winning a NBA title and ruining that.

Thunder wouldn't be terrible, tho I would like to see KD hit FA and if they win it all I think he'd resign there.

Don't hate GSW but it'd be funny to see them lose. Especially on /sp/.

Jokic was crazy underrated before he got big minutes the last two months, but we still can't just pretend 3/4 of the season didn't happen. He was putting up 9.5/6 until March while getting exploited heavily in pick and roll situations (perfectly normal for a rookie, obviously). His minutes were low, so when he started getting 25-30mpg at the end of the season he was still fresh enough to make the most of them. KP had a way larger load on both ends all season long, so fatigue set in and his touch started to fade a bit toward the end. Still, his shooting is really the only area he lost ground. He remained a dominant defensive force and finished the season 6th (using generous qualifiers) for Diff% inside 6th feet, among the best at weak-side help, and even came out on top on most of his perimeter switches against guards. That's where the votes really came from imo.
