it's tripfags vs anons this year
Yawn, what boring playoffs
Cavs have their worst possible first round matchup with Detroit. They'll probably win, I'm sure they're favored in Vegas, but as a straightup matchup, they're in trouble
>>66843731
This nigga still eatin dog food? John Wall is a joke.
Anybody got a sleeper pick or a Cinderella pick?
Heat might go deep in the playoffs considering how weak the East is

>>66843776
It's still the West. There shouldn't be an argument to begin with
>>66843704
I think that series will be interesting
GSW will come in overconfident after setting the record for the largest scoring margin in a playoff series against Houston, and I think their overconfidence will cost them at least one win
I still think the Warriors win in 6 or maybe 7 but the series will be good.
Wizards win again. We could have won the championship but we decided to lose on purpose to get rid of Wittman. Signs of a winning organization. Next year is our hear, plan in full effect.
>>66843776
East is a bit deeper but the top teams in the West would shit on any East team that isn't the Cavs
Probably stills shit on the Cavs but it's not guaranteed

it's funny, every time a lebron nuthugger meets his kryptonite he changes the goalposts and brings up kobe's finals MVP count. I'm sorry, but how does that change the fact that lebron is 2-4 while Kobe is 5-2? how does this change the fact that Kobe is universally loved in his own right while lebron is a brainless mediababby?

Honestly I think /nba/ will never recover from bandwagoning Lebron up 2-1 and getting BTFO. It's eternal!
I can't say i feel sorry for you, you actually thought delly could shut down the best shooter to ever play the game. You gotta live with that the rest of your lives.
>iggy shutting down MJ
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>who is the face of the Warriors

Face it, unless Lebron wins 2 more rings, he's not top 10.
Kobe has 5 rings and two of them were won with a biscuit named Andrew Bynum

Ewing is shit. Apparently all he does is check out cheerleaders and that's why he's never been offered a real head coaching position
Basically what Kobe fags are saying is that if Lebron gets carried to 3 more championships he will be the same as Kobe since both will have 5 rings and 2 FMVPs.

Owner is gloating about how well run his organization is and how he has the best team ever and only pays them pennies for that cap space and that's just slapping the players in the face pretty much telling them I'm short changing you and you can't do shit about it.
Curry is the best player in the league, gets paid less than Klay, Bogut, & Draymond, and the same amount of money as Thaddeus Young.
Dude is getting shafted and after this season the players are going to demand more.

Considered pretty difficult because every object has gender too
So we add post-fixes to nouns, adjectives and verbs to fit the gender.
The word for a clean window (נקי) is different from a clean car (נקיה).
Also numbers are different for males and females, it's the most common mistake for native speakers.
Other problems I guess are pronunciation of some letters.
The language is also read r2l, like all of the semitic languages.
We also don't really have letters for the vowels, except o and u (both ו), though a and ee have ones, so we have Niqqud (signs we put under/above the letters (usually either in archaic texts or when you want to make clear how to pronounce).
We also have letters with two sounds (f and p both פ for example) and two letters with the same sound(for example כ and ק - both k, they don't sound the same with traditional pronunciation though).

Read between the lines. Dude is a blowhard and causing drama behind closed doors, also there is no way Curry isn't getting his contract renegotiated before he's a free agent.

You can get a raise but you can't lose money. It's rare because players don't usually suddenly over one off season become the greatest player.

>spuds

>>66846112
Sure he's a blowhard but he said this shit forever ago and it didn't slow them down. There's no drama, just the media agitating things. Of course Curry is going to get paid, all of them are, and nowhere in the article was he gloating or being cocky for paying these guys way less than market price. They got lucky, he knows it, and when the cap skyrockets next year it's gonna be fine.

Top 20 for sure. Maybe as high as 9 but nothing more.
>>66846302
He could have been part of a dynasty but he's a selfish cunt. He drove Shaq, a top 10 center of all time and you're a dumb fuck if you disagree, out of that organization. Imagine if him and Kobe were in the same team for a bunch of years. He destroyed the franchise and it'll take many seasons to rebuild. People say he's the best laker of all time and shit. Shut the fuck up you uncultured swine. Magic and Kate Kareem are both better Lakers. Kobe is MAYBE 3rd. Maybe. He's not a team player.
>>66846264
>>66846268
Detroit is way, way better than Cleveland. Way less people live in Cleveland than in Detroit if that tells you anything. Detroit is a top 10 music scene in the country, people go there from all over the world for it. It's already making huge gains whereas Cleveland remains a cultureless shithole with nothing going for it.

Yeah, you're a naive idiot.

LeBron is fringe top 10 right now, if he got a ring for Cleveland, I'd give him Hakeem's spot. If he got two more rings, I think he matches Duncan/Kobe and three more rings would push him to top 5 status.
