Reminder that the Warriors are guaranteed at least one casualty even having to play Portland.
I hope seeing the Clippers lose was worth it.
Oh hey Warriors.
>>67215443
If Curry steps on that court he'll be dead
>>67215481
He showed a lot of heart on teh court and off the court it takes a lot for a grown man to break down with what he's been thru
>>67215500

It also broke Westbrooks face last year. And I'm pretty sure it was the first place Rose's knee exploded.
good job good effort austin
>>67215563
#CourtGate when?
>>67215567
nah, his knee was ruined against the 76ers in the playoffs(lmao), can't remember if it was at home or not though
>>67215594
it was in Philly
Austin Rivers, you were the best loser.
>>67215594
It was Game 1 so Chicago
>>67215567
It was like his 5th game during his first return and he went out for the season again.
>>67215567
was moda center also the place that Nash collided with Lillard and he ended up running off with Nash's talent, space jam-style?
BLOOD FOR MODA!
BLOOD FOR MODA!
BLOOD FOR MODA!
I'd love to have Austin Rivers as a solid back up PG on my team. I don't know, I love Patty, but Rivers is young and a complete PG. I think Pop can turn inspire a metamorphosis of sorts. The game being played is 3D chess, and Rivers can be an accompanying pawn in Pop's grand scheme next season and finally reach the elusive back to back championships.
Can the raptors play game 7 in whatever court Paul George shattered his leg in? I want to see derozan break his leg asap
>mfw Moda is a health insurance company

its (You)...some anon called you out on hoping for inured players earlier today...baka
>>67215637
Yes. Someone made a giant list with youtube links a few generals ago. The list was fucking huge.
iirc Taj was on it too along with quite a few of portland's own players
>>67215498
He got 11 stitches mid game
What have you done today
WILL HE OUTPLAY KD THIS SERIES?
What started the Moda Center curse?
Samefag: the thread
>>67215740

>>67215733
Of course. Kobe probably instilled some wisdom in his mind earlier this week when he was in San Antonio
>>67215434
Just because your boyfriend squirts his load in your face doesn't mean you've taken hits in the face bigger than him. It's way different. He didn't swallow his hit in the face. You did. It's way different.
>>67215733
Fuck Kawhahi, but I hate Durant's smug demeanor. Hopefully the Thunder get destroyed and cause Durant to throw a temper tantrum.
>>67215740
NO GOOD CLIPPER
What the fuck? http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/
How did they make the playoffs paying their players peanuts
i think okc/spurs either goes to 7 or ends in a sweep.
don't see how the spurs lose either way. won't choke like they did in 2012 because they have kawhi now.
>>67215783
The West was utter dogshit outside of the top 4 this year
>>67215722
Yeah its (Me)
I want to see injuries
I want to see your favorite players suffer
>>67215783
injuries and half the league is tanking anyways.. hopefully this year's success can bring a good free agent this year for them.
>>67215723
Portland was plagued by injuries for years, they'd be top 5 in the west for the past 10 years without injuries. Lillard, LA, Batum, and Matthews was the first time things ever went as planned, and it was still shaky as fuck health wise.
austin rivers is a bitch
>>67215733
No, KD will score over him. He'll get hit with a revolving door of Ibaka and KD on defense.
>>67215783
Lillard, CJ, Crabbe, Plumlee, Harkless, Vonleh all still on rookie contracts. Then the rest of their team are role players so they don't get paid a ton. I think Al Farouq Aminu is the highest paid player on that team.
>>67215800
Still it's surprising how it isn't talked about more how far under the cap they are.
>>67215828
so far they burned millions just to sign and waive anderson v
>>67215803
doesn't surprise me the moda center is a fucking canadian...
BLOOD4MODA
>>67215814
People forget that without career ending injuries they would have had a big 3 of Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, and Lamarcus Aldridge.
That team could have potentially stopped Lebron from getting any rings.
>>67215828
everyone was too busy jerking it to the warriors and portland isn't big enough to get coverage
what did you guys think moda was?
i thought maybe a cell phone carrier or a coffee place
>>67215855
ahahahha i found a counter troll for clips...every time clips4calories posts, everyone just reply blood for moda and nothing else. or someone be the hero we need and trip up with blood4moda and combat him.

>>67215876
Don't tell me what to do bitch
>>67215871
Fitness thing or some shit like that.
>>67215863
Lillard and Matthews would have been there in time for catching some solid play from Roy as well, the guy is only 32. He could still be tearing it up.
Anyone else wish it was the Pelicans stadium that was killing people?
BLOOD FOR THE SMOOTHIE KING sounds much better
>>67215733
He is insane this season. No doubt he shits on him
>>67215934
no, BLOOD4MODA
Kawhi Leonard bullied me in middle school
How do we blow up the Clippers lads?
Blake traded?
CP traded?
>>67215924
They got Lillard from the pick they received from the Nets after absorbing Gerald Wallace's contract. This trade wouldn't have happened if Portland had a competing roster
>>67215953
cp3 to spurs; they need a floor general
BLOOD4MODA
>>67215953
Blake is most likely gonna be traded
Paul might be in talks but chicken out and stay

You're so predictable I hate people like you
Kennedy road taught me to not to trust people like you
How are you supposed to figure out what I'm going through
You can't even figure out what's going on with you
>>67215953
I feel like there will be a better market for Blake since he's younger and a lot of teams already have a PG
>>67215961
Can spurs afford him?
If you spam this Blood4moda shit i'll be forced to report you. This is not basketbaall discussion. Let's discuss some statistics and how they are used in basketball.
>>67215994
Ok lets
>>67215950
jimmer pls
>>67215994
STATISTICS FOR MODA!
So instead of being homer retards and shitposting like spurdoras. Let's actually predict what may happen in the OKC SAN series.
I have a feeling Billy is going to break out the Kanter PF and Adams C combo for Duncan and Aldridge. He's been experimenting with that line up since the end of the reg. season. That will free Ibaka to be on Kawhi and KD and Russ to be able to take both a role as facilitators for the other guys to score in the paint and give them more space for drives on offense, and on defense it will be a matchup nightmare for their back court and keep Kawhi and Aldridge down on scoring.
Pop may be forces to go with Boban, although Adams is more experienced and athletic than him. Still a matchup advantage on rebounding and rim protection.
>>67215992
Yep. I think he'd be willing to take a paycut as well since Pau is going as well
>>67216053
>implying I'm reading that shit
tl;dr Spurs sweep in 4
>>67215994
>not accounting for intagibles
>not believing in Indian burial ground curses
>he didn't watch poltergeist
>>67216053
You're fucking ludicrous if you think KD and Westbrook are both going to be passing up on shots to Kanter and Adams.
Pau, Durant and CP3 are all coming to the Spurs so is Mike Conley and Marc Gasol
Marc Gasol told Pau he should go to San Antonio because Marc is coming too, they have always said they want to play together in the NBA at least one year
anyone here wanna talk hoopz? jus sayin
It will all decided by the tempo of the game. No matter what combination the Spurs put on, their biggies, Duncan, Diaw, D. West and Aldridge cannot run up and down the floor for too many minutes.
>>67216093
I'm a Grizzlies fan but I would love for them to get to play together. We missed our shot with this team, it's time to move on
>>67216092
But they literally do already. Kanter is a great scorer and West lobs and passes to Adams all the time.
How many Thunder games have you watched this year?
Adams scored well in the 1Q last game and got his hands on the ball.

It seems that most people think OKC is better than they are, and the Spurs are older than they are. OKC has to do everything right to get wins against SAS, limit turnovers, shoot very high percent, get more than their big 2 involved in offense and defense ... while I think the SAS just have to stay within their game plan, and a solid defensive effort will alone stop OKC from getting anything going. Games under 100 won by Spurs, over won by OKC.

Holy shit I was about to post this the other day, but figured /nba/ wouldn't be able to take the asshurt of a monster Spurs lineup.
It's so obvious that Marc was talking about himself, using his brother as proxy topic to float the idea and see how SA FO responds. Anybody familiar with Spanish, French and Italian manners knows this way of broaching delicate matters. And if Marc is coming, bff Mike is coming with him.
It's even more telling when the Memphis beat reporter keeps leading Marc with questions insinuating that traditional bigs are fast becoming relics, and the franchise needs more perimeter shooters.

>>67216502

I wanna know if the person that made the depth chart above even watches games. Collison is the backup to Serge. Kanter seldom plays the 4. Morrow holds the bench down. Is not the backup to KD; it is Singler or Waiters almost always. Dude do your homework before you write an article.

Ok..let me be the first one to ask..."I wonder if the Spurs will sweep the Warriors"...I wanna get a head of myself too, like so many Warrior fans, Spurs fans, and the media.
On another note, I wonder how the Clips feel about the Blazers right now when so many people were talking about their impending series with the Warriors...How about letting teams get through their current series before startingn the next.
Ok..now back to the task at hand...Spurs 103, Thunder 99...Danny Green goes 3-6 from 3 point range, and Timmah gets three block shots. Kawhi leads the Spurs in scoring with 17, and 3 steals.

lets me ask you a real question here...how much does luke walton make the lakers better, assuming he adds b shaw to the staff.
>>67217204
I don't think he does. He'll probably be a mediocre coach in reality and just looked really good because of how good the Warriors were. I think almost anyone could have stepped in for Kerr and won just as much.
>>67217204
Hard to say because the team will look much different with Kobr gone

Hard to say without knowing what the LAL roster will be like next year and if Walton will get what he wants during the summer.
But I liked the decision.Good one for LAL. IMO giving a promising young coach a chance is worth more than getting an experienced but mediocre coach.
>>67217567
I don't think he'll bring anything to the table whatsoever. GSW is a high-caliber professional basketball team, finely tuned. LAL are a bunch of clowns and jokers who don't give a shit. The son of some guy they've never heard of won't change that.

>>67217780
Personally, I'm happy to see LAL getting better: one less team to worry about being better than Brooklyn the next couple of years.
Minny is on its way to become a middle of the pack team too, if only SAC and Philly can get their shit together, that would be bliss.
>>67218261

KAT is literal GOAT m8. Thibs will make them elite.

Stupid nigger your best player is a snitch that no one likes and the second best has no arms. the coach you got will be fired after next season because it's easy to win with curry's memes, not so easy with snitchy d and the dead bullyball.
If spurs sweep okc will Durant leave??
>>67220065
Durant ----> Bulls
Gasol -----> Spurs
>>67220065
no, nothing will change, he will stay and hope for the best next season, like any championship-calibre player and franchise.
>>67220065
Yes I really don't see him and westbrook winning together unless they get a really good coach that will be able to make them play together and trust their teammates. But that could take a few more years and I think durant wants to win now
Is Kemba Walker elite?
>>67216053
about 25% of the time Kanter and Adams played together this season wsa against the Spurs
Ibaka should be on Lamarcus since Kanter would get slaughtered
The X factors for me are Green (on O) and Kanter (on D)
>>67220210
one can make Kemba's case, but IMO it's not easy.
it's hard to be elite unless one is top-5 in his position.
Curry
Lillard
Kyrie
Chris Paul
Westbrook
and even John Wall, Isaiah Thomas and D'Angelo Russell are arguably at least as good as Kemba Walker.
>>67220348
any predictions for the starting 5?
>>67220396
>Russell comparable to Kemba
Lost me there.
Kemba is definitely the most clutch of those 3 you mentioned
>>67220511
k k I don't disagree with that. We can leave Wall, IT and Russell out.
It's still hard to make the case Kemba is better than the other 5 players. Even if he is a top-5 PG, he is a borderline one. And top-5 PG rarely if ever translates to top-20/25 player, usually forwards and bigs are valued more.
>>67220396
DLo?
He's above average but not Kemba level imo
I think they'll start as usual but Kanter and Adams will have at least 12 minutes together
>>67220396
>>67220619
Wait you're joking right? In what way shape or form is DeSnitch Russell even close to John Wall, Isiah Thomas or Kemba?
>>67220736
Wall is better than kemba wtf
Didn't know the lil rivers had this kinda guts
Impressive.
>>67220816
>tfw you will never have a son like Austin
>>67220619
Kemba is definitely somewhere in the 4-7 range of top PGs. He's proved he can carry his team and is clutch.
I got Kemba at 6
1.Curry
2.Westbrook
3.Irving
4.Paul
5.Lillard
6.Walker
7.Thomas
8.Wall
9001. Russell
>>67220760
No. As far as I know John Wall doesn't go off and score 30+ points in multiple playoff games.
>>67220829

You fucked up.
>Lowry+DeRozan
>60/190
>PG
>48/105
>>67221272
The sad part is that PG is the only real threat on his team so he gets all the focus. Lowry & DeRozan have each other to work with and they still shit the bed.
Degenerate NBA DFS player here. Lowry didn't just start sucking for the playoffs, he was sucking before that. Since he injured his elbow he's been pretty bad.
Plus he has a super tough defender on him in this series.
I'd bet anything he needs some sort of procedure done on that elbow in the offseason.
>>67221310
They have 12 more makes on 85 more shot attempts
>>67221179
I'm closer to Toronto than Vancouver.

what a reddit as fuck image
literally every point was valid at the time he came out of college. some of those points still apply. some of the points he has improved on. its ridiculous how normies think that just because you win a championship you immediately become the perfect player
>>67221617
I will say, if any other star player had as many "off" games as Curry they'd get a lot of shit. He really has the perfect supporting cast.

-lost player with the most assist in Mike Conley
Other notable injury: Tony Allen
Los Angeles Clippers
-lost their second best rebounder and best scorer in Blake Griffin (before injury, Blake was third in scoring after injury, but still second in rebound)
-lost player with most assist in Chris Paul and best scorer in playoffs.
Other notable injury: Austin Rivers

If the Thunder dont get close to a championship, KD is outta there. I already think hes gonna leave though, Thunder have to face the Spurs in the second round, and I can pretty much gurantee that the Spurs will win this.

This. If anything he is better off taking a pay cut and going to the spurs

That’s because he’s been gone my whole life, and that’s fine.
Without Paul George fucking Hibbert's fiance, Lance blowing Lebron, David West being a bitch, and our FO signing a ton of overrated guards, the Pacers could've won it all this year

Spurs are gonna win tbqh
Here is my 2nd round predictions:
Warriors in 5
Steph is going to miss some time obviously. I see the Warriors taking games 1 and 2. The series will head to Portland and Blazers take game 3 because of their home ground pride sort of thing. Then Warriors take games 4 and 5. Steph I believe will come back in game 5.
Thunder in 7
People are obviously going to disagree with this. I don't care. The Thunder can beat the Spurs if their supporting cast shows up such as Waiters, Kanter, Ibaka. They all showed up in the 1st round. As long as they continue to play good the Thunder will be fine. Spurs take game 1 and then Thunder take games 2 and 3. Game 4 comes around and the Spurs will win that. Series is tied 2-2 going back to SA. Spurs will win game 5. Thunder win game 6 because it's a home game and could potentially be Durant's last game in OKC sort of thing. Game 7 will go to double OT. And Thunder pull out a win with Russ getting a triple double and KD goes for a career high 57
Cavs in 5
This is plain and simple. The Cavs will march right to the finals. It's an easy road for them. The Hawks just don't have enough.
>>67227803
>not liking halal food
>>67220851
Kemba definitely isn't 4-7 he's around 9-12
1. Curry
2. Westbrook
3. Paul
4. Irving
5. Rondo
6. Wall
7. Conley
8. Lillard
9. Parker
10. Lowry
11. Kemba
>>67228872
Mine are
Warriors in 5
Blazers choke
Spurs in 6
Thunder continue to mess up 4th quarter close outs
Cavs in 6
For some reason I think the Hawks have potential to take 2 games.
So Pacers are winning game 7 right?

>>67228957
>5. Rondo
>>67228872
Warriors in 6
Portland might take a couple games, one when curry doesnt play and one when curry returns and starts chucking before he gets back into the rhythm.
Spurs in 7
I think the Thunder have a good chance to win this series, but it'll go to 7 games and I don't think they'll win a game 7 in San Antonio. I'm going to guess spurs in 7 but in the thunder can steal a game 1 or 2 in san antonio then I'll pick them in 6.
Cavs in 4
lebron has to be the luckiest star in the history of the league to have such easy teams in the playoffs year after year
>>67228984
Definitely
>>67229032
In one store near me the halal meat is cheaper than the normal meat so my mother just bought that instead when we'd eat, nothing wrong with halal in terms of taste
>>67228957
>Westbrook over CP3
>Kyrie in the top 5
>Rondo in the list at all
>>67228984
Totally unpredictable. Given how this series has played out so far I'd give the slight edge to Toronto, them being at home and the fact that each consecutive game this series has gone to the other team.
>>67229072
cojo cares, lowry has a fucked up elbow but still helps

>>67229067
>>67229079
>>67229105
Rondo is the best pure playmaker in the league. One of the best passers this league has seen in a long time.
Westbrook is definitely better than CP3 right now.
And Kyrie easily deserves top 5, offensively he's top 3 and his defense is underrated.
Warriors in 5
Spurs in 5
Cavs in 4
Miami in 6 (vs Pacers)
>>67228965
GSW should have an easy time, agreed
Not sure how much resistance the Hawks are capable of. In 2015 they were swept by a Cavs team that had no KLove; and ATL was arguably better then than it is now.
Best PG in the league list. FACTS
1. Curry
2. Westbrick
3. CP3
4. Lillard
5. Wall
6. Walker
6. Irving
8. Ugh... Kyle "Shitcunt" Cunt Lowrly

I think Thomas is overrated because the Celtics don't have other true weapons on their team but someone has to score.

An Irvingled Cavs got the #1 pick in the NBA draft.
A lillard led blazers is in second round playoffs.
Rondo is team cancer
Knight is awesome.
>>67229530
I went with westbrook because he's fucking disgusting. Many other years it'd be CP3, maybe he deserves the spot over Westbrook since when Durant was out, Westbrook didn't make playoffs, but without blake CP3 made playoffs. The Clippers have a better unit than the Thunder though, since OKC management apparently can't make a team.
Knights good, for some reason I like him so he's on my list ahead of team killing cancer Rondo and Onlyweapon midgit Thomas.
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz now7 seconds ago
Can confirm that Josh Richardson MRI was negative, no tear. Had stress reaction in left shoulder. Hopeful of playing. Still in bit of pain.
thank god been the best defender for the heat
>>67229656
Is that a fair comparison? Lillard has McCollum while Kyrie had to work with Waiters
>>67229032
At least in my area, the halal meat is typically higher quality at a similar price point. Just wish the shops weren't all on the other side of town.
I meant more the types of food associated with the word though.
>>67229713
The Blazers lineup is straight up garbage. MC is based, but nobody thought he'd be anything this season, and Lillard is a player that makes everyone around him better. MC is good, but he's this good because of Lillard.
Kyrie can't pull anyone up because he's a James Harden not a CP3.
>>67229656
Kyrie was surrounded by one of the worst teams in basketball. If you switch the two up they'd probably have the same accomplishments.
>>67229538
Quite similar stats.
>>67229423
>>67229423
Well someone has to score. He dropped 42 on the Hawks against Teague and Schroder. He was also an all-star reserve picked by opposing coaches and kemba wasn't. I think that says a lot really,and I hate to bring it up but dudes 5'9. I think he is top 10
>>67229656
10th spot is an iffy one, you could make a case for Knight ahead of guys like IT4, Rondo, Reggie and Teague. If he wasn't dead, based on how he was last playing, Bledsoe would get my pick. Hopefully he comes back okay. I'm guessing that with picking Knight you're a Suns fan, so you'll be hoping for the same.
>>67229831
You are fucking joking me if you think the Blazers roster isn't straight up gutter trash.
Lillard elevated them with very strong leadership and fierce play.
>>67229881
Doesn't matter his size, he's in the NBA and so talented he shouldn't have to be judged for that.
On my list he probably deserves the nod over Knight and that's bias on my part so yeah I'll concede you're probably right here.
>>67229883
I'm a timberwolves fan actually, you and the other guy are right and many PG deserve the nod over knight. It's my bias though, I think he's good and will continue to get better. If he doesn't, then five years from now you can tell me I'm wrong ahaha.
>>67229713
Thats a dumb comparison because you are comparing them in different seasons. Kyrie had waiters. Now has lebron. Dame had Aldridge and now has McCollum.
Why would you compare two players by their teammates from different seasons?
>>67230015
I started the comparison not him. And I stick by it.
I think it shows a lot that Lillard can lead fucking scrubs to the playoffs while Irving just puts up numbers in a lottery season.

havent eaten meat for years but the subject is fascinating
my impression is that in germany 'halal' is used more in association with specific dishes than anything else.
i always wondered whether kebab shops in berlin actually offer halal meat, my best bet is that they don't bcs it is more expensive and most of the customers could care less, but then you say it's at a similar price point...
>>67229881
ikr
i can only think of two things in favour of lillard. until this season, Lillard played more mins - metrics per 36mins work a bit in IT's favour.
Also, Lillard is a better defender and defence shows less in stats.
But in terms of offensive output they are closer than I expected before checking it out.
>>67229930
The blazers roster is bad, but it's better than those Cavs rosters.
>>67230049
Yeah Kyrie is garbage, just another entitled AAU brat/one-and-done babby. They almost never work out mentally, they never have heart. Lillard went to Weber Fucking State.
>>67230049
>>67230059
Don't get me wrong. Lillard is the better player. He also plays better when he's pissed off. The all star snub this year got to him. If they redid the all star game right now. Dame would be selected. He dragged that team to the playoffs
Spurs should beat OKC by 7 points easily... right?
>>67230346
Get out of here you degenerate
>>67229930
If anyone in the NBA can just straight up will a team to a ring it's Lillard. I mean, just look at that fucking starting roster
>Vonleh
>Plumlee
>Aminu
>McCollum
>Lillard
What the fuck are they even doing in the playoffs? Give Lillard a frontcourt that's worth a shit (Plumlee is solid and improving, but Vonleh and Aminu should only be seeing garbage time), and there's a fucking ring.
>>67229831
>Kyrie was surrounded by one of the worst teams in basketball.
Everyone on Portland's roster right now only played garbage time on different teams last year besides Dame. Don't act like he didn't just make his teammates better this year which Kyrie never did with the Cavs.
For reference Portland's current roster is by far the lowest paid roster in the league, no other team is even close to them right now. They're playing Dame and a bunch of bench players that are getting starter minutes. CJ breaking out probably has a lot to do with Dame too since they play so similar.
If lillard is better than kyrie then why didn't they win in previous years with Aldridge, Lopez, etc.
>>67230346
no, plus you have to take into account that NBA actively keeps the score within a few points of the spread because it's crooked
>>67230528
it's a terrible shit tier franchise. Aldridge didn't give a fuck.
>>67230384
nay
>>67230528
They did? Lillards scrubled team is now in the same position of Aldridges leadership stacked team. Think about that for a minute.
And now he's winning without them. Willing this team by himself.
Kyrie was leading a team destined for the lottery. Then won THE lottery when Lebron and Love rocked up and Lebron forced the owner to sign people and turn it into a monstrous team.
I think it speaks VOLUMES about how different the two pointguards really are.
Lillard can produce playoff success with whatever supporting cast is thrown at him, Irving needs Lebron fucking James's superteam to get over the hump.
When lebron is sitting the cavs go back to being fucking shit. What a coincidence right?
/nba/ would not go back on the court after getting 11 stitches in their eye
>>67230682
No I wouldn't. Credit to AR, he really played hard in a bad situation.
>>67230682
>/nba/ would not go back on the court
coulda stopped there
>>67230345
I agree. If I could choose between the two, I would take Lillard in a split sec. He is a better leader and player.
IT might not be *that* good but IMO he is a solid player to start at PG: his passing game has improved a lot since last season; D is a liability but he is not as bad as his size suggests; he has a good jump shot and he is crafty at taking fouls.
>>67230552
I guess that's the reason there has been so many blowouts in the first round. Oh and also a couple seasons ago when the spurs blew out the most popular team (at the tine) in the finals
guys im new to the nba, I love me some timmy D.
I dont get it this season though, ive heard he is the spurs anchor but he gets very little involvement in offence. Is he actually just too old to do it effectively?
>>67230682
>this will make daddy finally love me
>>67230660
What coach did Kyrie have and what coach did Lillard have?
>>67230812
>Now it's about coaches
Are you going to question the quality of their airplane food after this?
Lillard has proven himself
All Kyrie has shown is that he can topscore on the way to a lottery, and only win with superstar talent.
>>67230812
Are you serious right now.
Lillard's current team is being paid less than any of Kyrie's teams. His team was projected to be worse than any of Kyrie's teams coming into the season (ESPN had them ranked 29 out of 30).
There is no real excuse or argument for Kyrie over Lillard right now if you're going to fucking argue ability to carry a team. Lillard proved the shit out of himself this year while the Cavs still suck dick without Lebron.
>>67230528
LA is cancer. He had this passive-aggressive prima donna act going where he said he didn't really want to have the spotlight after Roy died, and then threw shitfits when Dame came along and became the face of the team. They could have gone way deeper last year, except LA fucking gave up and dragged the whole team down with him.
Since he's doing the same thing in SA, I bet that the Spuds are going to deal him this summer so that they can get Durant.
>>67230898
>>67230988
I rest my case it was the coaches
>>67231040
Stott's track record before Portland got Lillard was pretty garbage so if anything I think it helps Lillard's case.
>>67231040
Not that guy but lol, no it wasn't.
>>67230898
He was their best player in the Detroit series
>>67216092
>penis kanter
If I had to choose between Lillard and Kyrie to take the last shot to win the game. I'm taking Lillard.

there's no great coaches coming out of Portland either

So you taking kyrie with the last shot?

>Blatt
>Garbage
oy vey
>>67231223
>shits on an Australian for basketball opinion
>unironically turns around and espews the greatness of an australian pointguard
>>67231223
Also Kyrie was born in Australia and holds an Aussie passport
>>67231183
If the shot is within 30 feet of the hoop, I'm choosing Kyrie. I haven't seen it but the stats say he is unbelievably clutch. Whereas Dame has unlimited range and is almost as clutch, so outside of 30 feet dame gets the nod.
>>67231288

watch your words there friend, you don't want more ads on your jerseys

They blow up and go young and so do the bulls if Pau and D-rose leaves

I'm easily taking Kyrie

Trade him to a team desperate for a reasonable PG so they can get young talent or at least some picks beside J.Buckets.
Then they can watch as Drose fully recovers during his contract and becomes a fucking dominating madman around the rim and loses in the finals to the warriors. Then in the offseason the warriors will sign him as a backup SG and he will get special private coaching sessions from Steph Curry, Steve Kerr and Steve Nash on his 3pt stroke and hit 10 3pt shots and 10 and ones a game, averaging 61.2 points per game in 26 minutes off the bench.
Shitcago will be hit by earthquakes and natural disasters that dislodge it from America and move it to the west side so they have to play in the west and are 8th seed every year so Rose can knock them out of the playoffs every single year until Jimmy "LEADER" Buckets fakes a career ending injury just so the pain will end.
>>67231714
spread his ACL ashes around the stadium
What can the Bucks realistically get for Monroe?
>>67231714
Raptors will trade derozan and Lowry for him
>>67231972
Headaches.
>>67231998
That would be even worse. At least Defrozen and Lowry suit up for the regular season.
>>67231714
I could see the spurs taking him
>>67232040
Would you trade your backcourt for the suns backcourt?
>>67232040
Fuck the regular season
>>67232076
In a heartbeat
>>67231714
i think he's going to stay. if not, knicks maybe? they need a 1, they can compensate for his lack of shooting, and giving melo an all-star and MVP to play alongside with might be considered a decent goodwill sign that they want to be competitive.
>>67231652
Kawhi is gonna be the face of the team now tho, and when Pops gave LA the opportunity to lead, he fell on his face just like he did in PDX. Time is, like, a fuckin' spiral or some shit.
>>67231710
Nah, it's something that was going on even when Roy was here. LA was always being criticized for being soft. Then when Dame arrived and the team started promoting him over LA (which was solely due to Dame's own efforts to fill the leadership and hype void that Roy left, because LA wouldn't), LA went full bitchmode. It's why Oshley didn't try very hard to keep him. It was pretty well documented by Cazano, Quick, and the Blazersedge nerds.
