/Bucks/ up in this bitch, coming for that sixth seed next year.
Not a single team in the LEast is able to compete with Lebron/Cav's .. No surprise when the Cav's sweep their way to the NBA Finals. Be that as it may - when they get there, they'll look like the proverbial 'deer in the headlights' .. getting a liberal dose of their own medicine .. [a sweep] ..

Wasn't Jim Carey their coach recently?
>>67388180
>PG projected to leave to lakers
muh dik
>>67388270
Jim O'Brien, who had a unique talent for blowing 15+ point leads on the regular. Under him game 5 was the rule, not the exception. Meanwhile Vogel is the second most winningest coach in pacers history both in terms of games won (behind Bobby "Slick" Leonard) and winning percentage (Behind Larry Bird).
>>67388281

and yet you're still fucking mad,

Yeah, Carlisle coached for the Pacers after Isiah Thomas, but he got fired in 06 or 07.

OKC has the speed advantage, San Antonio has the advantage of having multiple weapons that they can beat you. No team can afford a let down and escape with victory. This happened yesterday to Toronto who played poorly against Miami and won. In the Western conference if you play poorly, you lose.
>>67388662
yeah I heard about that; there was a shooting near MoCo Mall earlier and now a shooting near North Point HS. Might have the details mixed up but it's definitely in the MoCo area.
Be safe bro.
it honestly feels amazing being a raps fan right now
either we lose from playing so fucking terrible that the uproar and national embarrassment pretty much ensures casey is fired and theres tons of good coaches out there that we could go after or we somehow play like complete garbage and find ridiculously lucky ways to win and troll the shit out of the league and american fans watching
this is way better than what i was expected
>>67388877
Ya there was a shooting at the mall and another shooting at aspen hill and I work near the wheaton mall
I'll prolly be fine but thanks for the good vibes
>>67389052
I don't get why you decide to be so annoying here
Can't you be annoying somewhere else
>>67388965
The Raptors are just a clone of the Hawks from two seasons ago... right down to the same amount of regular season wins and Carroll being their best defensive player.
>>67389194
im pretty sure the raps had the lowest assists per game in the regular season, we are nothing like the cawks. also they won 60 games, not 56.
>>67388662
wow u ameriburgers think everything is about you
the town of fort mac is ON FUCKING FIRE and all u can talk about is some niggers shooting each other?
hope u have a heart attack, burger
>>67388965
Anyone who likes the Cavs is rooting for Toronto because Cleveland matches up really well with them.
>>67389344
stay safe based Canadian brehs
>>67389344
you better hope the Raps win the series, or the Heat gonna burn Toronto down too.
Stay safe m8.
Lowry plays better on the road. True fact actually, book it......
Reminder that Victor Oladipo is already the same age as Kawhi Leonard and that drafting players who stayed in school is a good way to end up with a team full of low upside mediocre role players.
>>67389691
>college
Hoopers State Farm Commercial may just be the new Jinx. Garnett didn't make the playoffs, Paul was injured in the playoffs and then ousted along with his 'No Good Clippers' teammate Jordan. Lilliard will likely be out by Monday, leaving Love whose Cavs may lose in the next round as both the Heat and Raptors won their series with the Cavs 2-1
Do you think the Utah Jazz trade Derrick Favors this summer? He can't really coexist with Gobert and toward the end of the season they moved him to the bench to open up spacing with their new rookie stretch 4. He's a dinosaur as a power forward but he would actually be an upgrade for most teams at the center position. Who do you see trading for him? I genuinely believe that he could be a great two-way big man on a team that surrounds him with shooters.
Avery Bradley
KCP
PG
Millsap
DJ
>>67389833
>regular season
Cavs will sweep both in 6 worst case
>>67389910
Any team would be glad to take him if the Jazz are that stupid to not find a way for Favors to fit in their gameplan.
>>67389971
It's not about stupid. It's just really hard to make a working offense with two players who can't shoot or pass.
What if Buddy goes to Phoenix?
Buddy and Booker could be some good wings
>>67389971
Gobert is such a good rim protector that he's worth benching Favors. So it just becomes a question of whether or not Derrick Favors on 6th man minutes is more valuable than whatever they could get in exchange for him.
>>67390048
No defense, under-athletic, generally undersized. At best it's a slower Lillard/McCollum. I don't like it.
>>67389971
>>67390049
Stupid might have been a little harsh lel.
But it just baffles me that a team with top tier big men can't form a gameplan to get their talents to co-exist. In the past you had teams with Duncan and David Robinson, Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning (etc.), that have co-existed perfectly even with their contrasting (or similar) styles and won.
In today's NBA a prime example would be Jordan and Blake, who win plenty and would be champs if either of them actually gave a shit.
So I don't believe for a second that a team can't make two good big men work together and the most production out of them.
>>67390132
Blake is a great passer.
>>67390098
>Hield
>under athletic
he's not Bledsoe but he's pretty good
>>67390154
Pretty good midrange shooter too
>>67390132
Blake opens up spacing by playing point guard from the high post and by being a decent shooter in recent seasons. Gobert/Favors, offensively, is basically Gasol/Randolph without Gasol's passing. Imagine how shit a Whiteside/Randolph frontcourt would be.
>>67390132
Roles have drastically changed. You need a rim protector, and at least one of your big men should be able to shoot from 18+ or preferably from 3
>>67390132
Of your two bigs, a team usually wants someone to stretch the floor and someone to protect the rim. If they have a guy who can do both (Ibaka, Porzingis in three years, Cousins on the rare occasion that he tries, Anthony Davis if he had any fundamentals) that opens things up for the other big. Utah has two bigs who are both good at protecting the rim and shit at spacing the floor. Since Gobert is significantly better at protecting the rim, it makes sense that they would either trade Favors.
>>67390098
He's athletic as shit. I don't like their current guard situation. Shop them, see what you can get. Develop Booker and Buddy
>>67390184
Neither Gobert nor Favors are offensively on the level of Gasol/Randolph.
Offensively, Gasol>Randolph>Favors>Gobert
>>67390188
>tfw your both of your bigs can do both
>>67390373
Atlanta?
>>67390373
>tfw neither of your bigs can do either
Morris can shoot but can't hit 3s. Gortat is a mediocre rim defender. Gortats a good pick and roll defender and scorer. Him and wall are the most lethal pick and roll offense on the league imo
>>67390387
Timberwolves
Gorgui and Towns
>>67390415
Drummond Reggie and Draymond Curry are better imo
>>67390184
>>67390188
>>67390250
I see. But don't the Jazz have three point shooters in Hayward, Hood, Burks, and Mack? Seems like they could space the floor plenty.
And wouldn't the crowded paint space the floor out and increase chances of offensive boards? I recall Noah and Boozer doing that along with Deng and Taj. (In fact that whole Bulls team back then in '11 centered around the paint and Rose doing his thing.)
Then again two similar playing big men can cause a headache when trying to maximize their strengths.
>>67390415
>Him and wall are the most lethal pick and roll offense
Lebron and Thompson? Kyrie and Lebron? Curry and Draymond? Paul and Jordan?
>>67389344
>drake drops views
>Canada in literal flames
hmmm
>>67390461
>Drake got you past the Pacers
>He was literally bringing the Heat
>>67390437
No one ever talks about gortat and wall on the pnr offense tho, mad underrated gortat is one of the only bigs slim and quick enough to shift his body around to score in those situations.
>>67390454
Wall and gortat might be better than all those guys, but it's really hard to say anything since obviously I watch the wiz more than any other team and I haven't seen any numbers proving me right or wrong. I will say they're mad underrated tho but that's usually the most efficient way the wiz get buckets, they should have ran it more
>>67390450
Three shooters isn't really enough in the modern NBA. And offensive rebounding isn't so valuable that it's worth sacrificing spacing, especially since crashing the boards just gives the other team an easier chance at transition points.
>>67390437
I feel bad for Dieng. He's starter-tier but KAT is just flat-out better. Any team would love to have him.
>>67390490
They're an underrated combo but Kyrie/LeBron is on a different level because of the passing you get when LeBron catches on the roll.
>>67390544
I guess, I mostly meant from screen to the pass to the screener, to the shot from the rolling big man. I didn't really account for passing from the screener, or the pick and pop game. Obviously there are better pick and pop combos than wall and gortat but you have to consider them to be really good in the regard
>>67390501
Guess I'm stuck in the old ways of crashing the boards and post-up offense.
>>67390490
i love Gortat desu, underrated in general
the PnR stats can be found on nba.com
http://stats.nba.com/league/player/#!/playtype/roll-man/?Season=2015-16&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&PerMode=Totals&sort=PPP&dir=1
>>67390529
He's a starter for >us too, usually plays at the 4 with KAT at 5
His rookie contract is ending but he's probably getting an extension
>>67390544
>tfw lebron doesn't play the roll man as much as he could, or perhaps should
pretty sad desu
>>67390615
Yeah his numbers are really good actually. And yeah gortat is an underrated player, he's not amazing but I'm happy he's on the wizards. Only problem is he's old so I hope he keeps this up for a few years.

When ranking the top ten NBA franchises would you count the Warriors championships when they were in Philly?
2 of their 4 championships were in Philly. Would just seem weird to me counting championships that they won on the other side of the country.
I hope OKC meth heads are ready for the mavs/spurs broship to kick their teeth in tonight
>>67390776
if they have a banner it count imo
I think Lebron has more natural talent and athleticism than MJ.
Lebron went to the NBA straight out of high school, while MJ played college basketball.
Expert analysis from Zach Lowe on what to look out for in game 3
http://www.espn.co.uk/nba/story/_/id/15475031/what-watch-nba-heavyweight-second-round-series-resumes
Steph should wait until Monday's game or even Wednesday if the Dubs drop one in Portland, then he can come back in for 15 - 20 minutes to get in the flow.
>>67390633
once Kyrie gets a better feel for distributing then Lebron can be more Karl Malone
you can see glimpses of this when Delly plays with Lebron
>>67390918
Ive said all year that the Warriors Defense is just fine, they've shown that in big games they turn on the D and win. That includes Steph Curry. The one big game they lost was vs the Spurs on a back to back with 3 players injured. Some ppl seem to think their defense has stepped up because Curry is out. This is their actual defense, its been there all year when they needed it.
>>67390948
Portland threw their best shot at the wounded Warriors... and it wasn't enough. Expect the next two games to be easy wins for the world champs...
>>67390980
>The store brand Curry gets a championship hat and pictures with the trophy
>>67390932
Exactly, when LeBron gets older, he won't be a shooter, he'll be a post player
>>67390948
They were first in DRtg last season and sixth this season (mostly because other teams got better)
>>67390895
Fuck I miss Grantland.
>>67390844
tldr
The Blazers have no answer for k.Thompson.The Blazers have no answer for D.Green.The Blazers have no answer for H.Barnes.The Blazers have no answer for A.Iguodala. The Blazers have no answer for S.Livingston the back up 35 year old point guard.The Blazers have no answer for GS bench 2nd or 3rd units and if S.Curry is able to play in game's 3 and 4 you may be looking at a sweep.The Blazers need to understand this is not the Clippers and J.J.Redick ,J.Crawford,A.Rivers and P.Prigioni These are The Golden State Worriers 2015 NBA Champions and they have what I would call real "MONEY PLAYER'S" and the are I think very under rated Defensively and Portland is finding that out the hard way.I said that I did not think GS can repeat as NBA Champ's I picked the Spurs and now I,m not so sure. Golden State is playing like there hungry for another title and the way those guy's not just shoot but streak shoot they all are capable of getting hot and sometime's 2-3 guys are all hot at the same time and it carry's over to there defense and before you know it your down by 20+ and there not cooling off anytime soon and it's light's out.
>>67391066
Bill Simmons was the worst part of that site, but I respect him for building something like that. I wish it would've worked out
>>67391129
I like Bill Simmons. He doesn't really know anything about any sport but his narrative driven take on sports is fun to read. If Skip Bayless is Michael Bay, Bill Simmons is kind of a George Miller in my opinion. The other writers could break down lineups and matchups and playcalling, but if I wanted someone to capture the human spectacle of playoff basketball, I'd read a Bill Simmons column.
When and why did David West replace Boris Diaw in the Spurs rotation? Is he still injured?
>>67391230
That or some new master plan
>>67391244
I don't get it. David West is just Diaw without the spacing.
>>67391191
Bill Simmons is a fag for insulting Jabari one day then trying to say the Celtics should trade for him the next, fuck that faggot.
>tfw we're 1 round away from spurs-dubs and cavs-heat
I'm so fucking excited you guys
>>67391269
He's also Diaw with 50lbs less weight and slightly faster
go spurs go
>>67391299
>Heat
>Spurs
The shookening got to your brain...
>>67391299
Why? Everybody already knows the Finals will be Cavs/Warriors and Warriors will win in 6. Then the repeating of 2-5 even though LeBron will have been the best player in the series but his team will have been no match.
You have the ability to restore one NBA player currently left in the playoffs to their physical prime. If you do they'll retire after the season. Which do you choose?
Good choices:
>Duncan
>Wade
>Iso Joe
>Ginobli
>Parker
>Richard Jefferson
>Varejao
>>67391350
Duncan
>>67391350
Why is Richard Jefferson and Varejao even on this list? Lmao
Wade
>>67391350
Dick Jefferson or 25/15 K-Love
Then LeBron can tell Cleveland to fuck off after winning them a ring and go make a superteam in LA
>>67391374
desu prime Richard Jefferson would make the Cavs unstoppable. They're missing an elite roleplayer and if they had 23 ppg Jefferson on their bench they'd be pretty elite.
>Trump supporters
Do you think Trump supporters watch basketball, or are they toobusy defending Jerry Sandusky claiming his statue should still stand?
>>67390744
>lost muh hoowwse
>eh
lol canadians are funny until their last breath.
also
reminder that if you're not a julius randle/and or lakers fan you're doing basketball all wrong...we are literally going to have PG13, frank vogel and J.B bickerstaff on the staff. all i can say is, i'd be mad if i were you. The Lakers are going to be the most dangerous team next season...not fair? heh tell that to the lebron heatles...
Please ook at my picture, it's the man who destroyed the NBA but no worries, our defensive SF that we draft / sign is on the way to save us from this evil...golakesgo
Can the Raptors just lose this series already so we can see Heat/Cavs?
>>67391378
Love was the first name I thought of but I don't want him to retire
>>67391420
Most of them are either people who think college basketball is better the type of people who call it apehoop
>>67391420
>Jerry Sandusky
Why is this guy still in the fucking news? He's dead for Christ sake, it's literally beating a dead horse...
>>67391486
I misspoke, Joe Paterno is who I was talking about
>>67391486
New reports surfaced saying Paterno knew as early as the 70s. Of course that's not really news since of course he knew.
>>67391269
West is much more physical. Maybe he's a better fit against the Thunder defensively?
He used to have a good midrange game, but it's long gone
>>67391511
west's numbers are pretty elite from mid-range this season
>>67391350
Duncan cause he's probably retiring after this season anyways
>>67391523
You remember him in New Orleans? He was great with CP3.
I guess I haven't watched him much this year. His last year with the Pacers was mediocre
>>67391486
JoPa is fucking scum. Gf goes to Penn state and they worship this bastard. It's fucking stupid and retarded Pennsylvanians are.
>>67391191
this is what I loved. Any one can compile stats.
Bill Simmons made you feel like you were watching a spectacle. Really makes it feel more weighty.
>>67391682
yeah they were a fun combo in new orleans.
i liked the pacers back when they had that peak hill-stephenson-george-west-hibbert lineup. or well, appreciated them. they had this hard-nosed no-nonsense identity that in my eyes largely stemmed from west.
of course he dropped off, he's gotten old too. i think both the spurs and west managed to find a nice niche for him over the summer, though. his TS% and his FG% between 3 and 10 feet from the rim are the highest of his career, though of course he's also seeing more minutes against the opponents' benches. but they're making the best of what's probably his last year.
>>67391818
If the Spurs don't win the title he's gonna feel like such a chump for walking away from 11 million dollars. If OKC somehow upsets San Antonio the first reaction face I want to see is West's.
>>67391845
>tfw he could have been a starter on the wiz
I know why he took the lesser role and the paycut but man that would have been tight. I don't hate west at all but I agree, I'd love to see his face if the spurs lose
>>67391845
Man, he'd probably cry. I don't know if I'd like it or not
>The most dangerous team
>>67391973
larry bird has refused to let George Hill of all players to walk the last few seasons, no way in hell he'll trade his star player
>>67391973
its going to be a long summer for /nba/
>>67391973
Every season Lakers think they can snag a big name free agent in the offseason. But every time they fail and try again the next season
>>67392015
>Every season
>>67392015
Good. If they had their way they'd have Greg Monroe, Aaron Afflalo, and Tobias Harris on big money contracts for the next three years.

Sure that's why dank free agents flock to play for Utah right?
>>67392069
Wtf when did basketball players star signing with teams because of their jersey color????
>>67392062
>He enjoys fishing
does he hate money? like alot of it?
>>67392027
this, we'd be stuck with shit players. desu i think the lakers have a master plan themselbves, pulling the ole greg pops..does /nba/ think we actually WANTED those free agents? phh lol...
>>67392047
>>67392056
these guys know what they're talking about
>>67392072
It's a waste of time. Durant isn't leaving, period. Even if he wanted to leave (which he doesn't), how do you think people would perceive him leaving his team to join a superpower? It's like Lebron's decision but worse because those teams are already good. Kevin knows this too
>>67392087
The cost of living is much lower here
>>67392078
>1 example
Lmao
The biggest free agency singing last year was in Milwaukee. Players don't leave the team that drafted them for new York teams or Los Angeles teams anymore. Players want to rep their own shit and with social media, anything they wanna say can just be said at any time.
>>67392080
I can make a book out of the reasons why pg should come home to rbl
Luke Walton >>> literally no coach
>>67392047
It won't happen because he's under contract for a while and by then the Pacers might actually be good if Myles Turner keeps developing. If you mean by trade that definitely won't happen. The only thing LA can package to trade for PG is their draft pick. And I can't see them giving that up. If they get PG they have to go into win-soon mode, whereas if they get Simmons or Ingram they can just let him develop with Russell/Clarkson/Bully/Nance and have a nice young cheap core going forward. It would kind of make since for the Pacers since it would put them into tank mode, which they probably need to be in. Turner + Simmons/Ingram + high lottery pick from tanking is probably better than whatever their current set up tops out at. But LA won't trade for PG.
>>67392103
Literally who did the Bucks sign last year?
Biggest FA was Aldridge
>>67392102
>here
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>67392114
>broshit fags
Oh that explains it
Pels please take Monroe so >we can win the Sixth seed, thanks in advance.
t. Bucksbro
>>67392140
Monroe, but you're right, Lma was the biggest free agent signing and he opted for the small market spurs instead of going to the Lakers. Yeah the spurs are the spurs and the Lakers are trash but still. I think it speaks to how players really just don't give a shit that much for playing for a big market team because you can now get the same amount of exposure on a small market team with social media and TV adds
Seriously, i think the Lakers can get PG13 and Durrant. they both wanna win a title right? it's not like they need more monies than an actual title
>>67392139
>And I can't see them giving that up.
have you been living under a rock? Lakers are reported to have already decided on what to do with their pick if they were to get the #1. Why can't /nba/ handle it? i mean the foundation was set 2-3 years ago, and now you guys wnt to panic? i mean me and other lakers fans on /nba/ have been reminding you EVERYDAY that this was going happen, and now that its happening you guys wanna panic lololol
>>67392195
Monroe for Jrue Holiday. Who says no?
>>67392246
AHAHAHA COULD YOU IMAGINE??? LAKERS WILL RISE AGAIN
LAKERS RAPTORS FINALS BOW DOWN FUCCBOIS
WOH
>>67392274
it goes to game 7 and the invention of co-champions comes into existence...we would dominate for years and the NBA would die cause of it.
>>67392262
It's not even panic, m8. The Lakers are better off in the long run with an Ingram/Russell/Clarkson/Bully/Nance core than with trading the pick. I genuinely believe that.
>raptors win the championship
>lakers raptors finals the very next year
will /nba/ be able to handle LeBantz?
>>67392299
I think it'd look better like
Clarkson/Russell/Ingram/Bully/Horford but that's just me.
>>67392285
nah we'll be trading titles for years to come!
>>67392184
Indy is nice
I love it
>>67392320
Oh, I wasn't drawing up a starting lineup. I was just naming their good young guys. They should sign vets so as not to have a Sixers shithole situation, but I don't think they should go full summer 2014 Cavs. The only way they trade that pick is if they have Durant lined up and they intend to contend right away.
>it's jared dudley episode
thank you baby jesus
>>67392299
Lakers want quick turn around, someone has to be traded. i say randle and clarkson the 2 most overrated

Trading the #1 pick to go from one of the worst teams in the league to one of the best generally doesn't work because one superstar isn't enough. They need to have a top free agent lined up as well. It worked for Cleveland because LeBron was coming home to da land. Does LA have someone like that? Maybe Westbrook next summer. But as of now? I don't see Durant going there. Conley maybe. Could Conley/Russell/PG/Randle/Horford win anything? Probably not.

>>67392382
When he speaks in interviews after games he's a real smart guy, knows a lot of what's going on without taking time to read the tape. I've never heard him on the lowe podcast but I heard him on sportscenter a few weeks ago and he was great

nigga you wanna win? huh? STFU we clean house and build it scratch and become Warriors 2.0
>>67392430
now that u don't have a gf whats your go to?
Does anyone else think Harrison Barnes is gonna make a leap next season similar to the one Klay made last year? If they can get Durant they should obviously let him walk but I think he's gonna be a beast next year and since they have Bird rights on all these home grown players they might want to think hard about keeping him.

>>67392494
Fuck you talking about
I still got my gf
>>67392495
I dont. Harrison Barnes posted numbers extremely similar to Otto Porter last year and I really don't see this super high ceiling everyone talks about. I think he can increase his uptick to like 13 or 14 ppg but I don't think he's that good. He's a solid defender and a solid scorer but I think that's all he'll ever be
>>67392430
satoransky is great, one of the top 5 guards in europe. super tall at 6ft7, that sort of sneaky athleticism some white guys have, nimble feet, two-way kind of mindset. not saying he'll take the league by storm, but getting him at age 24 and possibly locking him up to a franchise-friendly deal tying him up for his peak years might turn out to be a great steal.
and do listen to the lowe podcasts featuring dudley. he's such a great dude.
>>67392526
numbers similar to Otto Porter on an infinitely better team. He's not star material

gg summerfag now he knows
>>67392526
>I still got my gf™
>>67392516
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA
>>67392536
I'm afraid he won't wanna settle as a backup role on Washington but for as long as we have him I'm hype.
>>67392539
I don't even think he's a good player. I think he's a solid role player and if he wants control his own team he'll crash and burn.
>>67392539
But doesn't the "infinitely better team" thing work as an argument for his upside? Maybe he's being held back statistically because he's the 5th option on the team. What if he leaves and thrives as the #2 guy on another team? What if the Warriors give up a chance at the best 5th option in league history?
>>67392451
>we clean house and build it scratch
THATS what we did, kobe is gone, consider the house clean, we have soo much money. whats the point of the rebuild if we are just going to trade em all? keep and develop, look at the clippers, i know they havent won anything but you cant deny they're good, and the spurs, wanna know why? because they played with each together for years, we need to stay together, thats why they signed walton to 5 years..we are going to develop together senpaitachi. Look at charlotee, i bet they regret trading kobe, for divac. this is why im on the fence about trading the #1 pick, down the line we could regret this decision. too many unknowns desu. but PG is the real deal offensively, i dk about him defensively. but i mean trading a rookie forward for a proven one wouldnt be bad.
>>67392574
You could try and twist it that way, but I can't see playing in a wide-open system with Curry, Iggy, Klay, Draymond, and Livingston as anything but a boost to your game.
He's the 5th in line in terms of things for the defense to worry about. How would he do when he's #2?

>bone marrow procedure for blake griffin
wait what the fuck what does that have to do with his injury
maybe he had another infection similar to his elbow one?
>>67392857
a ship? Hell no. They'd be better than the current team but there's still not a legit star there. It's almost impossible to win a ship without a top 10 player. And usually it takes a top 5 player. And failing either of those, you need second tier players at every position and the bench (2004 Pistons). And don't tell me the Mavs didn't have a top 5 guy. 2011 playoffs Dirk was at a level Kevin Durant has never reached.
>>67392880
It only makes him stronger.

and while i'm at it, i'm absolutely not fond of the idea of shedding diaw and either parker or green for durant, and then running with some convoluted leonard/durant/aldridge front court and not much else. i'd much rather have horford straight-up at C and some spurs-y midcard signings to replenish the bench.

>>67393408
absolute madman....always thinking 3 steps ahead...
>>67393100
It's a pretty good trade for the Bucs. Monroe is so shit that just putting Henson in his place and signing/drafting someone to play backup is better than having Monroe on the team. Jrue is cheaper and has less years on his contract and when he's actually healthy enough to be on the court he's a good guard to have as a secondary ball-handler after Giannis since he can shoot 3s, be the secondary point guard, and play decent defense.
>>67393442
Yeah I get the reasoning but
>Jrue
>Healthy
So it turns out LeBron is way better as the pick man than as the ball handler in PnR action.

and people say the lakers are fucked for years, the knicks are fucking done. they actually expect a lanky europoor to carry them ahah. and melo with his fat mother hips should retire already.
>>67393773
Porzingis is the real deal (already protecting the rim at an above league average rate as a teenager) but Phil is pretty clueless. He went all in on vets to chase the 10 seed when they should have just tanked. He's doing what the Cavs did two years ago. They fluked into an incredibly improbably lottery win but whatever. This Knicks team plus a top 5 pick would've been sweet. Instead they got out-tanked by the fucking Nets and they don't even have their own draft pick. Melo should have been traded when his value was highest. They can still get something out of him but he's slowly becoming a Brooklyn Joe Johnson level "ugh he's still good but not for anywhere near that kind of money" type of asset.
I hope Atlanta comes out and plays well .... The Cav's need to be tested more before the finals

How do we fix the Bulls, bros? I'm assuming Gasol is gone, either to Memphis somehow, or to San Antonio.
Can we build around Jimmy Butler?
>>67395812
get rid of this image, RBL is RB now, no lakers allowed. Bulls gotta ditch everyone except Jimmy Butler, Bobby Portis, and maybe Doug McDermott. if they can get a bunch of first round picks for those guys too, then trade them as well. Butler might not be good enough to build around, he regressed a fuckload in the second half of the season and didnt look like a star anymore
reminder that RB is taking applicants to replace the lakers
>>67395812
i think Hoiberg does not like him much. Seems it is him or Butler. IMO Butler >Hoiberg by a large margin but your front office seems to think otherwise.
>>67395812
Sadly I don't see the Bulls going anywhere except lottery at least for a few seasons. They are a large market team and I'm sure they will be able to rebuild, but it won't be without some early picks.
>>67395812
The Bulls said Jimmy isn't getting traded like two days ago. So if Gasol and everyone else leaves we gotta go young and tank
>>67396015
have you got a link bro? what i ve read is that the bulls want to trade but ask for a lot.

He was ruthless and thorough and read by people across the globe, before the days of the internet. He outed Troy Aikmen back before outing fags was cool. Troy literally still wants to kick his ass about this shit.
He foresaw the end of print media when the internet took off and was talented enough to get a job on TV. As a totally unknown noob at ESPN he managed to impress execs enough to get a job on an irrelevant mid morning show on ESPN 2 that nobody gave a fuck about. He proceeded to join that show, transform it into shit people watched, and then routinely beat other similarly slotted ESPN shows, something an ESPN2 show had never done, and still hasn't done.
He then trolled his way to a position of power in the network, commanding several million dollars per year. All while his former colleagues in the print media are taking severance buyouts that may or may not pay their water bills while they're unemployed.
Skip became so big that ESPN couldn't even afford him so he's off to FS1 where he can actually speak his mind without Disney breathing down his back. And he'll be doing so for more than 5 million dollars per year.
And you wanna talk shit about Skip, Canada? How about you genuflect and give him a head job, ay?
>Billy Donovan won 2 NCAA Titles
He owes these guys his life

People still care about the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated?
There's so much free porn out there I've become desensitized to girl in bikinis.

YOU FUCK BOYS READY FOR NEXT SEASON?
WE COMING FOR YOU OCD, OCT 21 FUCK BOY, MARK YOUR CALENDAR.
>spurs win
>/nba/ quiet all of a sudden
>>67401347
It's literally just you complaining though
>>67401347
But that doesn't matter when you make the shots at the right times.
Plus he wouldn't need to take than many shots if they had some better guards on their team. Their backcourt is ass when their starters are gone.
>Raptors win
>/nba/ suddenly loses internet connection and disappears
duncan is done after this season right?
>>67401397
a tornado ripped through the trailer park of okc, lots of hicks homeless right now. pls show a little respect.
>>67401411
Hope so. His age is really showing now
Anyone got the webm of LeBron getting pushed out of the stadium?
>>67401411
He has one more year on his contract and Timmy needs the money. He'll be back. Probably come off the bench, though.
>Raptors win
>/nba/ suddenly travel to China to live the life of a monk

>/nba/ suddenly travel to China to live the life of a monk
this would be pretty comfy
>>67401428
No, sorry guy.
>tfw westcuck will never ring and durant will only ring if he joins a stacked team like the spurs or dubs
>>67401381
Skip is ridiculously talented and smart. He was one of the best sports writers in America back in the day.
He's playing a role and playing it very well. He's made himself a rich man.
The real Skip Bayless is probably more like what you'd expect a super smart/borderline genius journalist to come outta Vanderbilt to be like, but I'd imagine his family and friends only see the real guy.
>>67401437
>Raptors win
>/nba/ suddenly has to go to a dentist appointment so they don't end up like Nigel
>>67401449

>Raptors win
>/nba/ suddenly becomes my dad and is never seen again
>Raptors win
>/nba/ has to get their asshole checked for hemorrhoids they've been butthurt so long
>>67401494
damn...
>>67401355
You forgot Skip's greatest masterstroke: he used First Take as a vessel to warp ALL of ESPN. Before he came around ESPN was mostly sober and filled with sports facts. When Skip made First Take into a ratings juggernaut he dragged the whole rest of the network with him. Now EVERYTHING is about takes and drama.
And now that it's creaking and about to collapse in on itself Skip is bailing out just in time. He's a diabolical genius.
>>67401355
>>67401456
Hey Skip stop shilling your shit here none us are dumb enough to fall for it. Go bandwagon the Spurs on Twitter.
>>67401494
damn man...this got real too fast...
>>67401508
You can really even go further. Skip changed the entire sports landscape, across the board. Everyone is about hot takes now.
Shit was never like that before Skip.
>>67401494
why is this funny and sad at the same time ;__;
>>67401508
Shit, you're right.
Fuck him and E!SPN
>>67401494
whoa..
>>67401508
who is the bigger mad man, skip or pop?
>>67401513
Why doesn't he just shave his head? Keep the beard and he'd look pretty slick. Not like a goofy balding man clinging onto scraps.
>>67401551
He's obviously insecure about it.
Why else would you get a hair transplant?
He's also got fat rolls on the back of his head, might be some on the top of his head.
>Raptors win
>/nba/ suddenly acts like LeBeta in the 4th quarter and disappears
how mad is /nba/ going to be when durant comes to the spurs?
>>67401588
Not as mad as when Durant and Pau go the Spurs to join Kawhi and Aldridge.
>>67401602
That would piss off every one
Reckon ima go play some overwatch.
Gn /nba/ (:
I like kahwi leonard because despite his appreance he's not a thug and that's more than you can say for a lot of these young guys like draymond
>all the spurs haters from monday slip back into the cracks they came from
feels good to be on /spurs/ again
>>67401618
>playing video games
>playing overwatch
>>67401588
>>67401602
if KD joins a super team hes joining the Warriors. by the way, why do Spuds fans even want KD? Kawhi is a better version of him in almost every way.
>>67401617
I'd actually like it. I wanna see Pau get a non Kobr ring.
>>67401629
Have you tried it? Overwatch is fucking awesome man.
>he doesn't live in SA
>he isn't currently downtown honking his ass off
Lmao
>>67401638
Have you tried not being underage?

>>67401653
>Howard
>Spurs
lol ok
ANYBODY ELSE SEE BRODY DRESSED LIKE A 1980'S HOMOSEXUAL AND DURANT DAYDREAMING ON WHEN HE'LL BE ON THE SPURS
I don't think Pop would piss on Dwight Howard if that nigga was on fire.
There is a less than 0% chance of him ever going to the Spurs.
Is there really a Spurs/Mavs broship or is this some bullshit thing Mavs fans made up when they didn't get DJ?
>>67401698
I'm not calling anyone a loser. I know I'm a loser, what this guy >>67401692 said. You called him a loser for playing video games as if you are somehow not also a massive loser. Anyone posting here right now is a loser and has no right to shit on anybody else.
>>67401494
Too real
>Lmao fuck KD haha
>I hope he comes to my team tho
>>67401720
You are loser, get over it.

>tfw fan of the one team that always gets under /nba/'s skin
Kiss the rings, nerds.
>>67401817
Blunder would be down 0-3 if it wasn't for a literal fluke
How do we stop the homeless Sasquatch problem in portland?
>>67401817
He's been pulling Pop's since college. This guy is an experimenter at heart and always mixes things up.
People still haven't caught on yet.
>>67401824
No one hates the spurs, only posters like you.
You have no rings loser.
How will Spurdoras respond when we take their best talent for a couple of second round picks and Lou Williams? hahahahahahahaahah

THIS IS NOW RTHE OFFICIAL LAKERS MOTTO ON /NBA/ LOL
>the most dangerous team
LOL
>>67401886
Have you watched him play before? Solid defense, amazing at rebounding, those 2nd, 3rd and 4th chance opportunities off offensive rebounds deflates opponents too. Tristan has great chemistry with everyone on the court too.
if you build it, they will come!
