LeBron would get mad at him for stealing his shine like he did with Kyrie.

That's pretty standard for stopping a fastbreak.

>>67402023

>>67402046
When did he do that? LeBron tells Kyrie to run wild in the 4th quarter every game.

Man, Tony Parker had done something on the floor (cant remember what exactly) and fucked up. The camera cut to Pop lighting him up on the sideline. I mean he was really getting in Parker's face about the incident. I watched this and thought to myself, i wish okc had a coach that did this to Worstbrook. It would make me fully erect to see coach Donovan pull westbrook to the side after a stupid missed 3 attempt and chew him out. Westbrook is the Kanye of the NBA and i'm ready for KD to either leave westbrook in free agency or stay with okc and trade westbrook.
Should I cop /nba/?
>>67402193
Would Thibbz set westbrook straight? i feel thibbz would make him kobe/jordan tier

It was up and down with the Spurs holding a lead for awhile till Thunder came back and got the lead, then lost it, then came back to get it, but was 2 away before a lost rebound then a 4 point lose with only 4 seconds getting in the way.
>>67402256
Spurs had control most of the game
>>67402274
>>67402283
so it was roughly the same as game 2 but the other way around? game 1 was a hell of a fluke, really.

>>67402291
No it wasn't, they easily =could have won this game but made turnovers in key situations.

Heat. They look better offensively. Lowry is still shit.
>>67402597

95-85
>>67402597
Probably the Heat. I just can't trust the Raptors. Literally all they need to do is bench Lowry/DeRozan let J-Val take 30 shots a game, they won't lose another game this series if they do that. Raptors coach is such a fucking retard he will lose them this series.

Spurs iso's aren't your typical iso's like the Raptors for example. Spurs still do some movement to get Aldridge/Kawhi to their hot spot, that's when they iso to get a shot up. They just don't bring it up the court and throw it straight to Aldridge.
Once again /nba/ showing they don't know shit
>>67403087
i meant spurs not cavs...
When will Canadians admit that the Raptors have no chance at winning the title, much less getting out of the Eastern Conference
Look at this clip from the Atlanta Cavs game the other night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRypkQP9vac
They set a record for threes, imagine doing that against the Raptors? With Lowry and DeRozan clunking shots like they are now? It's literally hopeless for them....I'm really looking forward to seeing the Raptors try, and lose, like they've been doing for the past 20 years or so....
>>67403173
why so mean?
>>67403087
I was just kidding, I really don't want him
I think Cavs are the only team that can stop GS with Curry, they can by simply outplaying them.
On paper, Spurs are an amazing team, but despite finishing with a historically good record, it seems like they lack the tools to really dominate against the top teams.
Look at the OKC series, if it wasn't for Westbrook being dumb as hell and Durant being a pussy they would be a game behind (with a good chance to be 2 games behind) to a team with only two really good players.
And they're expected to compete with teams way better.

Because he's a chucker with a horrible shot selection who also makes a lot of dumb plays in crucial 4th quarters.
I swear Thunder would be a 65 win team if it wasn't for his dumb turnovers or bricked 3s with 15s+ on the shot clock in the final 4 minutes of close games

Meant the way he takes the game on himself and forces shots
Durant is twice the player Westbrook is
If they switched roles they would've been a much better team, too bad Durant is beta af
should've the rule about having the ball out of your hands when the buzzer sounds be changed to instead, having both feet off the ground and in the act of shooting/tipping?
we've witnessed dozens of games get overturned because the ball was on the fingertips. wouldn't it be more dramatic to instead allow the shot if the player was in the motion of shooting?
>>67408807
nailed it
>>67408903
fuck no. this is one of the worst basketball ideas i've ever heard. the clock is good because you have to get a shot off before it expires, forcing you to chuck or use a really awkward shooting motion. you shouldn't be allowed a free, comfortable shot. end of game expiring is just like shotclock expiring and should stay that way desu
>>67408869
The thing is, with all of Westbrook's bad play, they could have still won the game. The thunder just perplex me man. They lack the moment to moment high level execution that the Warriors and Spurs have, but Durant is so fucking good that their offense can revolve around him hitting batshit insane shots and that's good offense. I also don't know how to weigh Russ' play against the horrifically poor roster they have. You can't really succeed with Payne, Roberson, Waiters, Kanter backing you up. They all have fatal flaws in their game. Westbrook was shit, but at least because he drives to the basket so much and they have two elite rebounding bigs they can get second chance shots. Sometimes they win, but their roster as currently constructed is just not viable against the best of the best.
>>67408869
Oh yeah, I agree with that. No idea why he doesn't shoot more.
Why does the league allow Lebron to continually rape Atlanta, just throw in the damn towel.
Oh shit
>>67409046
I don't know but I'm seeing Jeff Teague literally transform into John Wall
>>67408972
It's incredible the way they manage to keep up with a supposedly historically good team.
The only explanation I can think of is their rebounding.
I guess It's that hard to lose when you have two insanely capable players.
Kanter is a very good backup center imo btw, great rebounder and a very verstile offensive player.
LeBron's legacy is tainted. He has played his entire career in the Leastern Conference and has steamrolled passed shitty teams in the playoffs. Players like Duncan, Kobe, Dirk, KD, CP3, and so on have all played in the Western conference and therefore their postseason success has been checkered. How many times would LeBron have gone 1 and done or lost in the 2nd round if he wasn't playing the Hornets or the Hawks but rather had to play the Thunder or the Clippers? LeBron is a Leastern Babby who preys on Western Conference teams who had to play in tough, grinding, series to get the the Finals.

Teague created his own tier of shook tonight.
>>67409188
I wouldn't say that, considering he's beat the best in the finals, twice
not only that, if lebron was in the west, he'd more than likely be on one of the many stacked teams, which would make his run to a championship seem even less impressive.

I'd take GS, SA, and OKC over Cleveland. I'd take a healthy LAC over Toronto. The Eastern Conference is as even with the Western Conference as they have been in forever but the top teams in the West are vastly better than the top teams in the East.
>closes thing to jordan we've had so far
>>67409455
Well Lebron can carry all he wants, but if he doesn't win, he doesn't win.
So no, he's not the closest thing to Jordan; Kobe has that on lock until the end of time.
Lebron is an all-time great though, no doubt, just not on the pinnacle.

Joerger felt like the management was setting him up to fail next season so he wanted permission to speak to other teams and thus he was fired
Can LeBron tame Westbrook? It looks like Durant is far too much of a beta to do it. There's no way LeBron wouldn't slap westbrook upside the head for all those fuckups every game.
>Durant on fire, scored the last 8 points with ease
>Westbrook shoots a contested stepback 3 with 15s left on the clock while Adams and Durant are wide open on the elbow
>>67402054

>>67412183
LeBron won't go to the west
>>67412198

>>67412088
Without Joerger Memphis is destined to fail already. The roster sucks dick and without a legit coach Mike Conley is leaving 100%
>>67412296
Yeah, nothing else, just an amazing young core
Let's look at the amount of head coaches fired in the last year.
>Tom Thibadeau
>Scott Brooks
>David Blatt
>Kevin McHale
>Frank Vogel
>Randy Whittman
>Jeff Hornacek
>Monty Williams
>Byron Scott
>Dave Joerger
>Derek Fisher
>George Karl
That's insane, how many of those guys were actually at fault? Scott Brooks and Randy Whittman are bad coaches who got poor results with a lot of talent, so those are justified. George Karl is a locker room cancer, so I can justify that one too. Byron Scott and Derek Fisher were just doing what they were told, tank and develop the young talent. Vogel isn't a great coach but he didn't have much to work with. Everyone else on that list did literally nothing wrong.
What is with this sudden witch hunt against coaches? Thibs, Blatt, McHale, Hornacek, Williams, Joerger, that's 6 unjustified firings in the last year. Why is this happening?
>>67412342
>amazing young core

>>67412780
Minnesota and Portland do without a doubt. Sorry to bring that up, I know you try not to think about it
>>67412817
But do they have Luke Walton and tons of cap space to sign KD?
>>67412765
Team is way better with Lue.
Blatt wasn't able to control the locker room, they didn't respect him.
He wasn't ready to manage a top team, when they signed him, they weren't supposed to contend.
He's a great basketball mind, one of the best coaches Maccabi has ever had, but he needs more experience at either a non-top team or as a assistant.
>>67412865
They have a top 5 coach in the league and one of the smallest payrolls in the league
>>67412865
Either of those teams could pull off signing Durant. Especially Portland. So yes.

I'm not saying it's bad that they're shooting so well but I'd be more bullish on their chances if they were winning without anomalous 3 point numbers
It's is so fun to challenge a Cavs fan to a simple fact scenario and they crumble like burnt toast.

Does LeBron have the energy to play center again? I remember in Miami when they put him at the 5 it was unstoppable.
>>67415484
in case they don't
>>67415678
Why would they do it?
TT is perfect and Love is more useful there too
I don't think playing at the 5 will take more energy than the way he plays now (on the offensive side at least)
>>67415759
When Golden State puts Green at the 5 is TT fast enough to chase him around?
>>67415694
KEK. you're not too bad, kike
>>67415821
Moreso than other bigs. Thompson is pretty agile. That's why he's one of the best bigs at switching onto perimeter players.
>>67415821
TT is really quick (for his size) and only two inches taller than Draymond
Both natural 4's too, I think he'll do fine
If Curry is injured, putting LeBron on Livingston might be the best thing to do
>>67415883
thank you greatest ally
Why is Tim Duncan so fundamentally sound if he didn't start playing basketball until high school? You'd think guys who've lived and breathed basketball their whole lives would have an advantage in the mental and skill-based aspects of the game.

Kek top bantz
>>67416407
hakeem also didn't play basketball until relatively later in life. his sport was soccer. multi sport athletes are dank
>>67416407
there are still advantages to learning something later in life. Kids make more mistakes at first, but learn faster and retain information better. Adults are better at seeing and correcting their own mistakes but learn slower and retain less. A disadvantage to learning a skill as a kid is that kids can build up a lot of mistakes very quickly, and if they're not corrected soon enough can become ingrained into their skillset and harder to unlearn. Whereas an adult being slower to learn and retaining less actually helps benefit them by being able to weed out mistakes.

>Spurs really aren't that impressive, they failed against the top teams all season long.
I have to agree with this. I think their dirty secret is they just really don't have a lot of scoring on that team. They need to rely on Kawhi and Aldridge big time.
>>67417940
>implying you're going to trick me
Every time I've even thought too hard about shitposting during these playoffs, whatever team I was rooting for instantly fell apart.
I'm sure DeRozan will have a fine game, contributing even when his shot isn't falling, and that both teams will make good showings.
Just an FYI. The Blazers are no longer playing the Clippers. The Warriors, since game one of the first round, have had Curry for 18 1/2 minutes. Houston had their chance to take them out and failed by a margin of 69-2. So far The Blazers have failed by a margin of 32. The Warriors without Curry are still winning by double digits every game. There is no way the Blazers are winning 4 straight, with or without Curry. They might steal a game at home like Houston did but they are still too deep for these one man and two man hero teams. For Gods sake their minutes haven't even changed that much. Green is the highest at 36.4. Its a whopping 1.7 minutes higher than his regular season which he also led for the team.
Warriors fans have every right to brag at this point, they are an MVP man down and their team and fans haven't given up. They have absolutely nothing to be concerned about until the WCF. If Curry can't come back that is when they need to be concerned. Don't hate on them for not giving up and whining and crying because they have a man down. I am a Spurs fan hoping like hell that he comes back. I want full rosters for a kick ash series. Unlike Cavs fans praying for additional injuries because they are scared they can't beat a full roster. Good luck Warriors, get this finished early so you have more time to get Curry practicing.

Honestly basketball is a game of luck. Whoever can get the ball through the hoop at a better percentage. Sometimes teams shoot ridiculously high % and it turns into a blowout randomly and other times it goes to OT against the same exact team. Defense is a meme because even a guy like JR Smith can shoot 3s contested and still hit them if he's lucky and recently the Cavs have been lucky as fuck.
>>67418485
The only series they'll lose is the one against Golden State (probably ). No one in the east can touch them.
>>67418486

if we fire our coach we either find out they kept the team together and go to shit like 90% of the teams or we have some supercoach come in out of nowhere like golden state. i know its a le funny meme to hate casey but hes really not that bad, hes obviously a very good defensive coach at the very least. if they get rid of DeChucker, then I think >we will be a lot better.
No idea why he played Scola though, but either way, you can't blame him for the losses and not give him credit for the wins.

I just hate most /nba/ posters and the fact all they do is polarize and hate on teams with no real knowledge of the game yet they pretend as hard as they can that they do, this results in them being wrong all the time yet they refuse to accept it and double down like idiots.

/nba/ right again
TOR won
and DeRozan had 35.29%
>>67424411
Yeah, he does, but remember he won a ship as a big part of the defensive side of the 2011 mavericks, and he has helped the raptors develop a lot, especially Kyle Lowry who was a nobody before Casey got his fat ass to start playing properly. Switching coaches all the time doesn't work, casey has improved the raptors record for 5 straight years and they might go to the ECF for the first time in history. firing him would ruin the chemistry. this is the best couple years toronto sports have had for a long time with the blow gays almost winning the worlds eries and the craptors being not so crap, and the leafs having bigcock and the #1 pick. we really need to stop complaining about everything senpai

>>67424645
They put him on Wade and the crafty veteran all-star gets Powell in foul trouble every time.
So when do Andrew Wiggins and Tristan Thompson go home to Toronto to form the Canadian superteam?
>>67424493
Irving can't stop curry and plays terrible D. Delly wouldn't have got the minutes he had in the finals. Love was playing inconsistent in Blatts offense and can't defend.
>>67424661
>le amazing rookie in the playoffs meme
rookies get called for fouls pretty much every play because they dont know where to put their bodies

he's doing what he can against wade flopping. He should be used sparingly anyways. He's a rookie after all, no need to pressure him

>cavs make 25 3-pointers, then next game make 21
are the cavs a meme team now? If they continue shooting that way in the finals and the warriors switch to bully ball are the cavs a meme?
