I didn't start watching or even caring about basketball until i was like 12 or something, but I remember the game I was watching after doing HW; Kobr went off for his 81 point game.

when you score 30 points a game youre a superstar
doesnt guarantee success for your team by any means tho

>>67207384
I've been here since 2008 man :( wasted all of my adolescence on 4chan
>>67204281
The 1991-92 NBA playoffs. Bulls vs. Blazers finals, and Larry Bird's final season was a big deal.
reminder:
this semen slurping sport needs some fixin and this is you do it:
>30 teams
>get rid of conferences and divisions--no one cares
>each team plays every team 2 times in a season
>3 points for a win
>1 for a draw
>0 for a loss
>no overtime for regular season games
>6 team playoff
>5 game first round
>7 game champions hip series
>top 2 teams in the league table ranking get a first round bye
>playoff seeding determined by points(league table ranking) at end of 58 game regular season
>in case of a tie(league table ranking) , POINT DIFFERENTIAL[(total points scored during regular season) - (total points allowed during regular season)] for the entire season breaks the tie
Point differential would make every possession--every play--throughout the entire season count.
With a 6 team playoff you can expect to have 12-13 teams realistically vying for a playoff spot so around half the league will always be incentivized to play hard and win.
Since relegation isn't possible and there are no other competitions(Champions League for example) to qualify for, the other half of the league could be incentivized to win with a combination of determining a teams percentage of revenue shares + determining draft picks
you're welcome, I just saved your dying sport

#Views From Game 7
This is awesome. This man has the potential to be a great head coach with what he's shown and all the great men he's learned from. The Lakers won't contend for a few more years, so even if Walton is bad, we can afford to search for another coach. Great signing by the Lakers.

That's why I said at the very least. Picking up a guy who coached on cruise control? Come the fuck on. The Lakers are young and need a veteran to guide them, they don't need a rookie coach who will be just as lost as they are.
>>67210284
Probably not..
Why would you leave in the middle of a title run anyways
>there's fight in that locker room
>i have full confidence
>we're gonna fight hard
>home court advantage
Casey starting to sound like a broken record. Feel sorry for the guy because he is days away from being fired
>>67210244
except its not lebrons fault that they lose, the teams are just better. raps are clearly better than the pacers yet are getting btfod because derozan is absolute trash
>Kings center DeMarcus Cousins has an interesting connection with new Lakers head coach Luke Walton. Cousins apparently was given tape of Walton by coach Paul Westphal as an example of how passing could open up the game for others. DeMarcus reportedly spent the whole summer leading up to his rookie season studying Walton's passing and off the ball movement. Just an interesting side note now that the Kings are looking to move him.
>>67210492
If >we lose game 7, fire his ass.
I was shocked they didn't fire him after the sweep last year.
>>67210284

>>67210464

McHale is going to get another job. It just can't be with a dumpster fire franchise like LA since he just went through that in HOU so he's weighing his options.
COME ON MEMEBLAZERS, END THE CLAPPERS HERE TONIGHT.

How you know that it was the coaching instead of them being told to lose to keep their pick? I honestly think they did Byron bad for firing him when they were tanking and now they hiring some coach that led the Warriors team to their record. A handicapped goat would have the coached the Warriors to a similar if not a better record for the Warriors. You delusional Lakers fans will remain like that.....delusional

Watch Lelker "fans" turn on Walton when they beat Philadelphia in losses.
Most of Pop's assistants stick with him for decades before even getting a sniff at a head coaching gig while Walton only stuck behind Kerr and Mark Jackson for a couple of seasons.
He'll just be another Fisher, Watson and Hoiberg.

I'm surprised how easily the Lakers appointed a coach given how everything around the franchise has seemed like a clusterfuck in the past few years.
Also like how they didn't pick up the same old proven failures too. Seems like a nice middle-ground choice of experience and a fresh face without baggage.
The only question is the rest of the organisation and how much patience everyone gives Walton.

That's true, the season was a huge success. They're still far from a 2nd round calibre team and will probably get swept by Curryless Warriors unless Lillard drops 50 in 1 game
JUST
First the Clippers, now the Raptors
>>67214768
When you consider Portland having by far the lowest cap in the league right now and how they lost all their starters last summer it kind of evens itself out into a similar situation. Don't act like players like Aminu or Mo Harkless are far mightier than the Clippers roleplayers because Portland on paper is complete garbage, there is no hiding it, and the actual healthy Clippers team still lost 1 game to them and were on pace for 2 until CP3 got injured in the 3rd.
So I would give Dame some credit.

If the Rose Garden wills it they can beat anyone.
Rose Garden just this series took out: CP3, Blake, Deandre and Austin Rivers' eye.
It has taken many NBA lives in the past too including some of Portland's own players.
>>67214313
Spurs fucked the blazers like the spurs got fucked by the warriors. Saying the meme northwest team has the advatage over the spurs is a sin
>>67215057
The odds are slim. Both CJ and Dame would need to be hot as fuck and the rest of the team would need to step the fuck up, keep their ball movement consistent and lower turnovers, take advantage of the Warriors inevitable high turnovers.
If Curry comes in and is playing at least well it's all over.
Man...
I've never seen a team get absolutely demolished like the cloppers did this series.

>>67215096
>If Curry comes in and is playing at least well it's all over.
Whether Curry plays is irrelevant. They shouldn't even think about playing him so he can be as close to 100% as possible for the Spurs series. This series is a bye for the Warriors and winning 1 game will be a success for Portland

>>67215096
They wouldn't dare play Curry after watching this series. His weak ass ankles and knee can't handle niggas that are this fucking real, he would be dead before the half.
>>67215126
He needs to play in the Portland series of the team chemistry will be fucked and his shots won't fall. He needs the second round to warm up otherwise the spurs will take advantage of their sloppiness and take an early-potentially decisive-lead.
>>67215109
DJ's ankle was overacting. He quit, plain and simple. Even gingernigger's quad surgery was scheduled for the offseason, he also quit as soon as CP3 was done. Both of them knew they had no chance without the floor captain.

Curry will suck ass the first few games back, if they wait until the WCF to start warming him up, they won't have enough time to get him rolling before it's too late. Chemistry is everything when playing the spurs, they'll absolutely stomp the warriors if they don't have time to build it back up.
