I saw a Spurs fan yesterday and I just lost it. Fucking smug prick. I was eating an outside lunch at this nice little restaurant, and he was sitting eating some fucking salad. Salad. Typical fucking Spuds fan. He was there with his stupid Spuds fan wife who of course was eating a fucking salad too.
I could tell he thought he was part of the best fans in basketball. He didn't say anything, but the way that stupid prick was chewing. Jesus Christ. He had a fucking Spurs t-shirt on. I bet you he bought it at the team store like a fucking schmuck. He and the fucking stupid cashier probably had this big self-satisfactory exchange. "I'd like to buy this best t-shirt in basketball with the best money in basketball please." I couldn't fucking believe this asshole. He just kept going at this fucking salad like he's king of the world.
I just tried to ignore that attention seeking asshat but he just kept at it. Every time I looked away he'd conveniently grab for his hot ice or some fucking passive aggressive bullshit so that it would draw my eyes to him. LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME BEST FAN IN BASKETBALL RIGHT HERE. Jesus.
You should have seen his wife. What a bitch. The waitress came by to ask them how their food was and she relayed how fucking satisfied she was in the most smug way possible. This fucking fake-politeness Spurs fans put on is ridiculous.
Next thing I know that guy pulls out his phone and starts texting. Are you fucking shitting me? I bet he just had to text his stupid friend all about his fucking salad was almost as good as being in basketball heaven.
I couldn't fucking take it. I told that fucking idiot what a smug fucking retard he was. He was like "dude what are you talking about" like he didn't fucking know what a prick he was. I fucking tackled him right there. Staff called the cops on me as if I did anything wrong. They are actually going to fucking put me on trial for assault. Fucking Spuds fans.

Porzingis is really good. He has a really nice jump shot. If he can keep improving his post game and put some weight on he will be the best player coming out of this draft.
I really hope Embiid can actually play in the NBA. His post moves are incredible. He beats players with his mind and he looks strikingly like Hakeem in the post. I still think he's by far the best player in that draft class, shame he's still injured.
>>63650380
he's a white KG (Kevin Garnett) with 3
It drives me nuts when idiots compare him to Dirk. He plays nothing like dirk besides the fact they are both white and tall
Porzingis is 3 inches taller and 30 lbs heavier at this age. It's not even close with porzingis level of aggression and ability to bang compared to dirk at this age. But hey they are both white and from europe lol
>>63650428
I don't understand the Dirk comparison either. Porzingis is already a better rebounder than Dirk ever was.
>>63650351

The Zingis is a banger. Watch his Euro Film. They had to pull him back a couple times for being too aggressive. If he stays healthy probably will be the best big man in the league in 2 years. Dude is amazing. 40 inch plus vertical, can shoot, hella tall, aggressive as fuck, came from a poor ass family (well poor for a americans) generally kind of an asshole.

There was never 6, there was really 2, Spurs/Warriors (3 if the Thunder had a better season health-wise). The Thunder and Spurs were pretty much the WCF since 2012. I mean did you really think the:

Wizbros, should Wittman be replaced by McHale?
>>63650821
Have you watched chalmers in these last 3 games? Hes playing like lebrons son
>>63650982
B-but I'm 180
>>63650987
Idk
Wittman should be gone but when the offense is clicking and not turning the ball over the wizards are one of the better offensive teams
It just seems like Wittman has to choose either offense or defense. Wiz were a great defense last season but have been terrible so far
I liked McHales system of "3s layups and fts" and I definitely don't think he's a bad coach, but idk if he could have the same success with this wizards team. Harden really carried that team last season and idk if wall could do that

Well, McHale was absolutely garbage. Weird to say it but Harden saved his sorry ass coach career multiple times.

Rockets fans have thought McHale was a shit coach for years, this year's problems were the final nail in the coffin. It's not really his fault but I don't think he helps
I'm sure McHale will be fine with his millions.

Who are some players that are objectively holding their team back, one way or another?
For me it's Ricky Rubio. He's a really good player when he's healthy, but he's hurt too often and will always be an average defender and have his offensive limitations. And most importantly, he's holding Zach LaVine back who has a much bigger upside.
And Jrue Holliday. I know he's young and could still end up being good, but he's literally an injury prone chucker who doesn't mesh with Anthony Davis at all. With Tyreke close to being healthy and Ish Smith being surprisingly really good, I'm not sure what purpose Holliday even serves to that team. Minus the fact that they gave up a lot to get him so they wanna keep him.
>>63651879
And if I'm the Pels I'd be hoping Holliday gets fully healthy and plays well so I could trade him. I'd also be shopping Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson. Unfortunately for them there's nobody dumb enough to take Asik.
Roll with Tyreke and Davis and draft some good talent that will also play defense.
>>63651879
Kobe Bryant
>injury prone
>can't play many minutes
>throws up bricks all game
>massive contract
>>63651276
So it's his fault the whole team is cancer?
Wtf the Mchale do in the beginning of the season to lose the team anyways? I mean Houston wasn't exactly a very cohesive team like a lot of the west teams but this year it looks like none of them have ever played with each other and had no chemistry
>>63651908
Let's be serious though. No star was going to the lakers even if Kobe's contract wasn't massive. They traded their first away in 2011.
>>63651879
lavine's pretty fucking dumb man I don't know what upside you see to him
>>63651923
>I mean Houston wasn't exactly a very cohesive team
therein lies the problem, team has zero fucking identity
>>63651947
he does meemee danks
>>63651973
>team has zero fucking identity
I don't know about that. They're well known for not playing defense.
>>63651947
He has a much higher ceiling than Rubio. Defensively and offensively. Ideally you'd like for the other stuff to improve with experience.
On a team with Towns and Wiggins learning on the fly, I'd much rather be grooming LaVine than nursing Rubio.
>he isn't taking a cheeky 3 hour lunch

>Tim Duncan is almost 40
>Manu is almost 39
>Parker starting to ender mid 30's
>Tim Duncan can't jump but still can block shots like nothing was going on
>Manu looks a bit better and lighter than last season, can cut to the paint faster than 20 year old players
What's the secret for the based Spurs? This team, aside 2-3 years since 99, were always a candidate to the championship and they still are even though their HoF trio is old as fuck.
>>63651997
Rubio is one of the best defensive point guards in the league
Also why would you want a guy like Levine when you have towns and wiggins? Both those guys want the ball all the time, and Lavine will suck it up. Rubio is a top 3 passer in the nba, and while his shot improved it's not like he's going to be shooting much. Rubio fits much better imo.
>>63652012
>what's the secret to the Spurs
Pop doesn't wear his players out in the regular season.
>>63652012
spurs don't sign dumbasses that go out clubbing all the time, all are boring dudes
>>63652021
>>63651997
Also I could be wrong but I think Lavine switched to the 2 spot this season. And Rubio is still only 25 man. He's so young sill
>>63652064
I dunno man, I think their players have a lot of personality.
>>63652012
Aren't they like 5-2 right now?
>Davis already broken
>Rubio already out
>Durant already out
>Irving never even started
>Rose is shit
For always being called "old," The Spurs seem to be the only team that doesn't get hurt as easily as the new generation players
Let's be honest here. McHale might be at fault but the Houston Cockets have retarded players everywhere.
I also have no idea why they act surprised that Howard is crap now. His whole game was always about athleticism, everyone with a brain knew that once he reached 30 he would decline drastically. Plus he's always injured. How can this guy not learn post up moves with McHale and Olajuwon as his coaches?
>>63652099
8-2, playing the nuggets tonight. imo it mostly has to do with the guys play styles. apart from manu and sometimes parker everybody plays really conservatively and passes a lot (the beautiful game)
>>63652129
Yeah, but you remember how Manu played when he wasn't over 35. He was full gas on every game, bumping into "trees", dunking over niggas, etc.
>>63652117
This. Harden, Howard, Lawson all seem really dumb. Howard could've been so much better if he could actually comprehend something different than a fifteen year old's pussy.
The Clippers would be the same if Rivers wasn't equally as a fucking prick as some of his players.
>>63652099
>play 2k
>every year Manu and Duncan retire after a single season despite the fact they're back the next fucking year
Hate this game tbfh
>>63652157
yeah dude I remember watching him in his late 20s and thinking his career wouldn't last long because of how he played
I fucking love manu man
>>63652066
LaVine at the 2 could work, tho I think most of his talent right now is with the ball. He'd have to get a lot better working off the ball to be a solid 2.
But it does make a lot of sense because it'd move Wiggins to the 3 where he'd be very useful defensively.
They're 2-3 years away imo, but they have a chance to have something special if they play it right.
Who would you rather have: Jordan, Gobert, or Whiteside?
>>63652201
Gobert
Lavine is a lot like Stanley Johnson ink. Extremely fast and athletic but terrible shooting and makes bad decisions all the time.
>>63652201
Whiteside desu his offense is better than the other 2 rn

McHale's strength has always been player development. The problem is that the Rockets aren't in the team-building stage anymore, they're trying to win. The team is full of frustrated veterans.

>>63652355
Clippers are the actual meme team. As far as I know, they haven't won jack yet. Meanwhile, GS won the championship last year, was 1-2 against both Memphis and Cleveland and took over those series after the bad start while the Clippers were 3-1 against Houston and has one of the biggest choke jobs ever.
Also, as long as DeAndre Jordan can't shoot at least 50% from the free throw line, they won't win jack. They got lucky last year against the Spurs because half their players were banged up and Chris Paul was making shots like Curry.
We all know the WCF Finals should've been Spurs vs GS, hopefully that's what happens this season. I don't want the clippers crying and whining for long in the playoffs, the sooner they lose, the better.

It's amazing how the media can run with a false narrative until it's completely accepted. Literally other than Jimmy Butler (who is the only player that actually stays healthy), every major contender other than the Spurs has played their star players more minutes than Thibs does.
Go look at CP3, Blake Griffin, Harden, Aldridge, Lebron, Marc Gasol, Conley, Carmelo, DeMar Derozen, etc.'s total minutes, mpg, total games and games per season over the 'Thibs era' (2010+) and compare them to any major Bulls player.
Bulls have beenone of the most minute-sparse teams in the league star wise among teams that actually make the playoffs and compete.

Ricky is great for being, sometimes, the only man on the court that stays in control. Minnesota simply does not have even half of their options when Ricky can't play so I can't see him holding team back.
Lavine is not ready to be a full-time pg, too impulsive. And he matches very well with Miller.
>>63651879
Lavine isn't a point guard and never will be. If he ever gets a starting spot on any team it will have to be at shooting guard.

"We haven't done anything," James said, following the Cavaliers' 104-99 loss to the Detroit Pistons, Cleveland's second-consecutive loss and third this season. "We didn't win anything. We lost. We lost in the Finals. So, that's enough motivation for myself. I think we need to understand that.

No he's still very green. I haven't been a fan of his hockey-like substitutions or his lack of timeouts. I feel like a lot of these games the opponent has been able to come back against the Warriors is because he lets runs go on for too long without calling a timeout.

77 percent believe Michael Jordan is the best player of all-time and only 14 percent give the nod to James, the fact that 34 percent of NBA fans believe MJ — at 54 years old — could still beat King James one-on-one is a tad mind-blowing. Ouch.

Get over yourselves. It wasn't meant that way. The 1 seed was locked up so it was simply a game to fine tune some things and find things to work on for the playoffs. The Pelicans took it as direct disrespect which fine go for it as the players, use whatever motivation necessary. But as a fan you don't have to feel slighted.

Something isn't clicking on the rocket's team obviously and they know they need to hurry up and get better if they want to stay a contender this year.Dwight Howards not getting younger they dont want to potentially waste this year and not do anything. It's not about what McHale did wrong, it's about what someone else could do to change their momentum.
>>63655081
Rockets are so fucked. I actually didnt hate the Rockets, only because of McHale. I smell Howards cancerous influence here.

>>63655584
clippers will win anyways. those players are cancer. plus warriors are bound to have a let down game soon
Are people actually defending McHale? He is literally the worst coach in the league. They made the WCF last year on their skill (and other teams choking) alone. There was no coaching involved in that. He literally doesn't run plays. LITERALLY.
>>63655035
at least we got the number 1 pick in '07 and used it to take Greg Oden over Kevin Durant
I can't wait til we get a top 3 draft pick this year and manage to draft the one bust out of this class.
>>63655671
But most coaches don't really run plays unless it's coming off a time out
His coaching philosophy was solid. And most of the time you won't see a coaches work on the court. A lot of coaching comes from off the court
>>63655709
Coaches coaches their players to run plays on the fly though. They don't do it directly but they expect their athletes to do it for the majority of plays. The rockets just pass the ball on the perimeter until one of them chucks an ill advised 3 or until someone slashes and then gets blocked. They have no idea what they are doing and are just scrambling at all times. Look at the spurs or warriors. They are always moving, spreading the floot, setting picks, etc. The rockets don't do ny of this. These problems all stem back to coaching. McHale was a joke.
>>63655738
Come on, I'm not saying McHale was a bad coach, or a good coach, pop and Kerr are some of the only coaches who do this. That sort of play calling doesn't happen often, a lot of time it's up to the offense to see and adjust to what the defense is doing
Only time will tell if the firing was the right move but I think the issue stems more from the team being unmotivated (which may be his fault anyway) and having terrible chemistry issue. The Lawson harden chemistry fuck up could be seen a mile away
>>63655802
Fair enough. I'm 100% behind the firing though. I also think they need to get rid of lawson. Aside from the bad chemistry you were talking about. Lawson is a turnover machine. Beverly was a much better defend and playmaker. Sure he wasn't as good a scorer or memeshot shooter, but that's not what the rockets need.
>>63655822
fat fuck retard morey probably only saw lawsons assist numbers and thought that made him a good PG...drive n kick =/= distributing

>>63655886
I hope chris paul is dying
>>63655822
The main thing is he takes the ball out of hardens hand
Harden is basically a point guard at this point. He usually brings the ball up and starts the offense. Having a guy like Beverly was good because he would play good d and shoot 3s off the ball. Lawson is a minus to Hardens actually good playmaking

Legit question: is Russell actually bad or are Lakers fans just over-reacting because they're fucking Lakers fans, coupled with the rest of the rookie class playing insanely well?

I watched some of the warriors-raptors game last night and i was almost frightened by how quickly they could put up points

>>63651879
LaVine is just a better version of Gerald Green desu. I like him better as a bench spark plug. He could even be an elite sixth man one day. But not as a starting point guard.
The only downside to Rubio is health, which will probably never be great. But he's above average on defense, he can run an offense but not to an austistically counterproductive degree like Rondo. His shooting isn't actually as bad as his reputation suggests. If he is ever someday healthy I'm confident that a lineup of
Rubio/Tyus
Wiggins/LaVine
some 3 and D/Muhammad
Bjelica/Payne
Towns/Dieng
could win something. Obviously Pek and Martin need to be traded but I don't think anyone really wants them. A second rounder or the rights to some marginally promising Euro or a project like Payne would be good enough just to get rid of their salary and playing time.
Ray Allen just silently retired after getting his ass handed to him by the Spurs.
Exposed as the ring chasing faggot he is. Glad that sack of shit is out of the league.

pelicans/thunder bro if davis is playing
>>63654964
Celtics/Mavs gonna be fun.
>>63652012
They rest their players. Also, the other trio (Kawhi, LMA, Green) is more important than the HoF guys at this point. They're just a stacked as fuck team to be honest. Add Diaw, West, Mills, and even Slow-Mo and Bonner and most teams just don't have that much talent.
>>63656828
Rubio is one of the worst shooters since the introudction of the 3 point line. Just curious, how can you say he isn't as bad as people say he is?
>Rockets' changes will not only be on the bench. Jason Terry replaces Ty Lawson in starting lineup. That, rest to be announced soon.
>>63652012

>>63656882

>>63652201
Jordan is just Gobert but dumber and four years older and worse at shooting (but admittedly more athletic) so it's basically Gobert vs Whiteside. Whiteside is a less consistent shotblocker (his actual advanced stats at the rim are less impressive) but he's a beast offensively whereas Gobert is a Tyson Chandler type.
I'd take Gobert because he's three years younger (so maybe he develops a jumper or something) and Whiteside has character issues which could tank a season at any given time.
>>63656848
Davis is out.
Most skilled rookie in a generation.

>>63655176
Stop. You're talking about the greatest of all time. And yes I know >MJ. I'm a Dubs fan but no way 3 starters no matter how good are worth the GOAT
Rank the top 5 from this rookie class so far:
1.Towns
2. Porzingod
3. Okafor (although the team around him is WOAT)
4. Winslow
5. Mudiay
>mfw eating noodles for breakfast and dinner the past week
>>63650654
have they faced the spurs yet? they got lucky they didnt have to face beautiful basketball
>>63657007
>2. Porzingod
>3. Okafor
How did you come to this conclusion?
>>63656995
his hero is tim duncan and he acts just like him
>>63657028
porzingis is good on both sides of the court while okafor only has an offensive game
>>63657019
They don't play the spurs until january so it's conceivable they will be 30-0 until then
>>63657007
I'd say 1-3 are interchangeable, 4 and 5 are good.
>>63655624
They've had two let down games in a row but still managed to pull it out.
>>63657008

>people unironically think curry is the best pg in the league
>>63657055
Okafor is averaging nearly twice as many blocks has Porzingis is.
>>63657055
Actually incorrect, okafors defensive game looks a lot better than when he was in college
>>63657007
zingis khan
kat
okafor
rest are irrelevant
cry more okabust fans
blocks are not defense i love that meme
>>63657103
Opponents are shooting 50% against Porzingis, and only 42% against Okafor. Once again, how is his defense better?
>>63657065
>Muh stats
Watch the actual games and you will see that while Westbrick might have more assists than Curry, Steph gets everyone else much more involved in the actual flow of the offense.
>>63657007
Relative to draft position and expectations I'd say Porzingis by a mile. Overall I think Towns is the only one making a positive impact on both sides of the floor.
>no Durant
>no Brow
I'm hoping that this game will still be fun
What do nba coaches do when they get home after being fired? Beat their wife?
>>63657065
This was last season retard
>>63657065
Russell turns the ball over more too. And by things like +/- and RPM Curry makes his team better when he's on the court than Russell (even though the Dubs have a better bench which usually biases +/- results in favor of teams with shit benches like the Thunder). Also, counting stats are worthless since they don't account for efficiency and pace.
>>63657065
But Curry doesn't have to do everything for his team as opposed to Westbrook.
>>63657239
watch ESPN
>>63657207
>flow of the offence
>chucking 3's from half court
anon, pls
>>63657065
If you put Westbrook on this Warriors team would they still be 12-0?
I'm thinking yes, maybe 10-2 at the worst
>>63657239
Play 2K
>>63657148
It's not, that anon is retarded. Though it is worth noting that Okafor plays the 5 and Porzingis the 4 such that the comparisons aren't great.
I would say that overall Porzingis makes the bigger impact for the team since he stretches the floor and is good for spacing.
>>63657065
This was last season. Curry is first in PPG faggot. Also those are some nice garbage-time stats you have there Westbrick.
>>63655324
Harden doesnt play defense. The only people on that team that does are Howard and Beverly
>>63657259
does it really count as chucking if you make half of them?
>#Rockets met with James Harden. Made it clear he must make more of an effort on defense.
I can't fucking wait until the Lakers end the Warriors meme streak
>>63657377
>your best player is a literal kekold
no recovering from that one family
>>63657377
And the thing is last season it looks like harden finally dropped the le shitty defense meme
It's like the entire team began this season thinking
>we made the conference finals. We don't even have to try
Fucking stupid
>>63657377
It doesn't make any sense. He was actually an above average defensive player last season, at least on the ball (and most of the time off the ball too). He was actually pretty up there for DWS and RPM and he LOOKED like he was trying.
He completely regressed this season.

what am i looking at
What's more likely to happen:
Rubio averages 40% from 3 for a season (with a minimum qualifying number of attempts)
or
Joel Embiid averages 20 ppg in a playoff series
ahahahahaha u skinny bitches always make fun of us based big bellys and u sittin here eatin block cheese hahahhahahaha
skinny little bitches provin they beta once again cmon skinny bitch walk up to me so i can snap your arm we big bellies run this shit and we fuckin all the women
>>63657547
Well Embiida will never play in the NBA so thats an easy one
>>63657547
Rubio.
Rubio hitting 3s only needs 1 miracle to happen (shot improves drastically)
Embiid would need at least 3 miracles (actually plays in the NBA, sixers make the playoffs, isn't a bust)
>>63657558
s dope AF tbqhwyn used 2 be #teamskinnyniggasrunninshit now dat corporate grind got me like #teambeergut

DeMar DeRozan

Channing Frye

AYYY LMAO
>>63657604
realistically what's the most the Wolves could get out of Pek and Martin? Martin is actually an extremely movable contract considering the Cavs almost traded for Joe Johnson.
>>63657652
D Rose

Rockets update: Rocket still look shit. Only scored 35 at the half, down by 11pts.
It's just... baffling.

He's shit on defense and he can't shoot 3s. And in the modern NBA you need to be able to do one of those as a big man. At this point he's just a better Enes Kanter. With Elfrid and Oladipo at the guards the Magic need all the shooting they can get. Either go for a rim protector or play small-ball, but Vooch can do neither.
damn paul george is looking fantastic this year
>>63657863
>Only scored 35 at the half
Huh, they must be playing an elite defensive team like the...Blazers? The fucking Blazers!? Holy shit they're getting shut down by Damian Lillard.

ignore this thread we aint gonna give the weebs what they want
can an alpha male pls make a thread

Yeah never mind last year, the year before, and the one before that.
>>63657885
The Rockets are shooting 25%. Lawson is 1-8 and Harden is 2-9. Howard is having a nightmare game too. They should start benching players, as the bench is actually pretty good and should outperform this shitshow. If Harden can't produce then he shouldn't be playing.

The West has proven it's a joke and the GS will coast into 1st seed. Cavs are a good contender but not a shoe-in, at least not until they get their act together. I do think we'll have Cavs vs. Warriors 2: Electric Boogaloo though.

desu, it would be better for the T'wolves to lose this season, get one decent more young player in the draft to go with Wiggins and Towns, then start to win
is anyone actually watching the kings v hawks game
>>63657945
Skilled post-up big men are fine but Vooch isn't that skilled and he's also shit on defense.
>>63658033
need real new thread we aint goin here
