Ah yes, the post Spurs loss /nba/ freak out, per usual. Tons of "Spurdora btfo", and "did Pop lose this one on purpose?!" In addition to the usual sophomoric submissions by basketball troglodytes such as yourselves, your collective basketball ignorance is beyond the pale. First, I want to address the misdiagnosis of Kawhi's late game "stuggles". The peons will yell "not clutch" while sipping their third bottle of Mountain Dew for the evening, but in reality it's much more complicated for the rudimentary basketball minds to comprehend. Kawhi is the best two way player in the league, no contest, but his defensive skills exhaust his offensive ability down the stretch. I've emailed Pop and the coaching staff many times about running set plays for Kawhi down the stretch, as opposed to Iso plays. In regards to "Pop losing on purpose", I just can't fathom a man with such an esteemed and terrific track record keeping failing rotations and electing bad timeouts in close games. It's much more probable that Pop, being the philosophical basketball piety that he is, transcends wins and losses and hopes the conclusion of a game is more of a manifestation of long term success rather than superficial "win or loss". And one last fucking thing that pisses me off most with you cretins. This "x coach playing this game while Pop plays such and such game." Could you be anymore fucking childish? Basketball isn't a game to Pop or us fans, it's fucking war. A fair submission would be to equate Pop as General Patton, but these silly kid's games comparison only further differentiate the Spurs and their fans' greatness and inferior basketball franchises and their fairweather casual "fans".

>>67506603
Bogut>half your list
>>67506811
>>67506927
off the top of my head. Bogut and Big Al are both there. The point is, calling Adams a top-10 Center is asinine
>>67506603
>Horford
>Paul Gasol
these two are trash now
Paul
Redick
Mbah a Moute
George
Jordan
>>67506999
Yeah, but he's 22 and already good enough to be a starter on a semi-contender. And he's not the worst starter. OKC has no need to upgrade the center spot as long as he's there. They need to massively overhaul the bench and acquire a solid third ball handler. But as long as they have Adams they're set at the 5. That's a pretty nice asset to have in a 22 year-old.
>>67507029
A. It's Pau
B. They're both better than Adams and it's not close
>>67507054
The presence of Kanter offense is a huge boost to Adams. If Adams had some stiff backing him up he'd have to be asked to do things he can't do, ie. score
>>67504049
what's a stuggle?
>>67506603
I would take adams over drum and horford any day

>>67507109
>>67507128
crazy talk desu
>>67507228
Arguably his worst season in the nba
Are their any Spaniards in the hall? Pau would be the first right?
Would Dwight Howard to the Spurs make sense? Especially if Duncan retires.
>>67507113
Portland got better as the season went on, I'd bet on them beating Atlanta or Detroit. But yeah Houston is trash and losing even 1 game in a series with them is sad.
>>67507262
everyone had to adjust and accommodate Rose coming back and playing the whole season. He is the reason why they were awful and did not make the playoffs.
>>67507280
He's probably going to Milwaukee
>>67507236
Whiteside and Drummond are soft asf. Horford was invisible in these playoffs. Maybe I just like the dirty behind the scenes shit adams does to help win games like tripping danny green in the last minute. Shit was cash. Bruisers like him are a rare breed and are always in need.
Thoughts?
>>67507332
Fuck off Bill
>>67507306
they already have whatsisface though
and the bucks center can actually shoot free throws unlike dawhite
>>67507298
I mean, idc why they all had a bad season lol. It was just a disappointing season for the bulls in general. Butler didn't play great defense and imo his offense was sort of exposed. But he's still a great player and I'd be surprised if they didn't make the playoffs next season.
Is hoiberg a good coach? I really don't know. Bulls need to move on from Rose tho. It's real sad to see that
I predict that we'll see a lot of Hack-a-Bogut and Hack-a-Festus tonight.
Who Lakers/Raiders/Dodgers broship here?
>>67507372

>>67507393
nah Portland is desperate to win
>>67507520
Obviously. They were up 2-1 last year with trash. Now Cleveland is the best team of all time, breaking GSWs three record (easily) in the playoffs.
>>67507058
Paul Gasol is nowhere near where he was just 3-4 years ago. He's worse than invisible on defense.
Horford hasn't done a thing in the postseason while Adams is locking up the Spurs' bigs.
>>67507548
>Carmelo doesn't contest the putback in any way whatsoever

>sportsnet writers in charge of knowing what a good coach looks like
>>67507603
Thunder are a pretty stupid organization so I wouldnt be surprised if they fell for memeside.
Adams' calm almost coach like demeanor is a great foil to some of the hotheads on the thunder. Replacing him with some punk like Whiteside would be horrible for the thunder t bh. Adams is tough as shit, gets in the head of his opponents, has a high bball iq, but is also not afraid of doing some dirty work to help his team win. Fucking rare breed right there. He might not score a lot but the thunder already have all the scoring they need with not one but TWO FUCKING SUPERSTARS AND KANTER.
I see you adams and I appreciate your game.
>tfw Pau Gasol became an orthopedic surgeon in an alternate universe
>>67507862
They need more defensive roleplayers imo. Roberson should be replaced with a defensive 2 guard. Ibaka has been disappointing from a defensive standpoint all season imo. And thunder should hope waiters becomes Jr smith light, altho waiters will never be the 3 point shooter like jr, he could be a valuable streaky shooter off the bench type of guy
Iman shumpert would be a gr8 fit imo
>>67508024

>>67507861
>Raptors are 6-5 so far in the post-season and tied 2-2 with the Miami Heat in the second round while stars Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan are playing a historically bad brand of offensive basketball.
I hate when people group defrozan with lowry. Lowry makes winning plays and hustles even if hes missing his shots. Derozan literally cannot even dribble the ball in high pressure situations. Watching him play in game 4 made me question if space jam 2 was in production because that nigga's game evaporated into thin air.
So if OKC makes it to the WCF and doesn't get completely annihilated I think we'll see Durant sign in OKC for a two year deal with a player option after one year so that he can cash in for real after his tenth year in the league. If they collapse and San Antonio wins the series he'll probably bolt. If he stays OKC will probably retool the roster for real by trading either Ibaka or Kanter to start hunting down the pieces they need (third ball handler, two or three 3 and D wings). They have pretty much zero shot at a championship this year because a roster needs more than 5 good players.
>>67508272
he will most likely stay in OKC regardless. He and Westbrook are ride or die niggas

Do you think LeBron can run the table and sweep through the playoffs?
(Including the memeiors)
>>67510787
I'll believe in Embiid when Greg Oden comes back to lead the Blazers to a title.
>>67510820
Which he's done in every 4th/OT in this series though..
>>67511104
Not a chance in hell, only way cavs beat warriors is if they can keep shooting like this rest of playoffs. And Lebron has a king performance for a game or two. I don't see it happening, Lebron isn't 28 anymore senpai. You seen him play? Plays he typically finish at rim wasn't falling againsnt hawks. And memeiors defense is even better.
I hate to admit it but this is currys league now. Warriors win again in 5 or 6 likely.
>>67511104
Yes. I expect it.
Unless Wade gets a game somehow.
>>67511124
I tried it for the first time last year. It's pretty overrated but it was still a damn good burger.
I could watch Rachel Nichols sit in that chair on The Jump all day.
>>67511348

You're delusional and buying into media hype.

>>67511459

If Valanciunas was playing we would have swept the Heat. There is no way they could have won last game with JV on the floor.
>>67511612
why
>>67511645
>>67511647
>>67511612
why not, it's the logical progression of things
>>67511409
Not delusional it's called being an realist. These warriors are way better this year than last year. Cavs have gotten better but ultimately I think they just aren't on warriors level unless Lebron becomes King James again with Kyrie and Love getting at least 20 a game.
>>67511807
They're statistically beyond the Warriors level.
The Warriors flexed and broke shooting records in the regular season. The Cavs just shattered it in the playoffs.
I hope you don't have money against the Cavs cause you're retarded if you can't see they just eclipsed everything GSW did.
>>67511887
You seriously think Jr Smiff is going to keep shooting this way?
http://official.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2016/05/L2M-SAS-OKC-5-10-16.pdf
two blown calls, both against spurs. no refball, just damn unlucky IMHO.
>>67511933
If Love and Kyrie stay healthy, why not? Dude is the 4th/5th option with Frye.
People are judging him cause of his performance last season where he had to do way mire than he should have been doing cause of the injuries. If JR is being relied on as your 2nd best offensive playmaker in the NBA Finals, your team is doing something extremely wrong.
>>67511933
Honestly I do. Nigga doesn't have to try with Love out there beasting.
Kevin Love has the most dangerous pump fake since D Wade, and I mean that. Plus you got Kyrie 3s now too. JR ain't carrying shit this time around. Frye and Jefferson probably won't bang on GSW like that, but the Cavs are STACKED this time around, and they were up in the series last year with nothing but heart and fuckin Delly.
Saying GSW would take out Cleveland in 5 is beyond delusional when it took 6 to sweep scrubs last time. The kind of delusion born from fear. Fear of a Cavs team that looks every bit as loaded as Golden State... except they have The King.
>>67512060

Yeah and they have pulled out wins without Curry so they have had more challenges than the Cavs. Warriors are just proving why they are the deepest team in the league.
Curry finally has Finals experience and is playing out of his mind right now or for the whole season for that matter. You really think Delly or Kyrie can stop Curry? Absolutely not.

The refs are screwing over every team in the playoffs right now
Nobody has been better than Dwyane Wade in clutch time this postseason (last 5 minutes, score within 5):
There is so much hate in this community. When Kobe retired people said, "overrated." When lebron is winning , people say "he plays in a weak conference." And now curry won back to back MVPs. People say, "He doesn't deserve it". You can say that all those comments are true. But let me just say that these players are GREAT players. Derek Rose gets hate. KD gets hate. Melo get hate, etc. Y'all need to stop hating and just appreciate the greatest of basketball and its players.
>>67512889

>>67512889
Kobe was an overrated chucker rapist.
Lebeta is >2-4.
Curry is a literal meme.
Rose is soft like cottonelle tissue.
Durant is cucked by a 3rd tier rapper.
Melo is irrelevant.
These are the "great" players in the modern era. People actually think these pieces of shit are good.

>I hate curry but I'd love him if he were on my team

Its quite literally all haters getting triggered and grasping at straws.

If you seriously, unironically, and unequivocally believe that the Spurs wanted to win this game, you're delusional. Pop wants to stress the Thunder out because he knows they won't handle a game 7. It's quite simple, really, if you had even a fraction of Pop's high basketball IQ.
This game basically gave the Choklohomo shitty BLUNDER a false sense of confidence which will be their downfall in the next two games. Whatever fluke that the Thunder have right now will quickly crumble beneath their feet when Westbrook goes into autopilot mode and hogs the ball. Before you know it, the Spurs will DESTROY the blunder in game 6 by at least 20 points. After getting BTFO and having to go back to the best home court in all of sports for a game 7, they will fall apart.
I just can't wait to see the implosion between Durant and Westbrook, you can tell that they've been holding in their shit against each other since they have the benefit of the doubt right now, but they'll collapse soon.

Let's talk about how Spurdora fans, especially that faggot Milana poster, overrated their team yet again.

The only good bench player is Manu. West has been a no show. Mills is a chucking sperg. I don't even know what that goofy Anderson guy does.

>implying pop wanted to win at all this season
prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he actually wanted to win the chip this season. this was just a stress test to see how well Aldridge could mesh with the team, and he got more than adequate results. he knows that this season doesn't mean shit, he was just collecting data so he can execute his true game plan next season. the spurs are so good that you think they want to win when in reality they just win because it's natural to them, like breathing.
real basketball fans know this.

>>67520921
Yes. MD is a flyoverstate. Yes. Spics are absolutely insufferable
>>67520967
men you can tell that most of the time its just the heat missing easy shots. Mostly tonight. I never said it will be easy but I think with bosh the heat would win in 6 or 7
>>67520912
o shit whaddup
>>67520967
its incredible to me, they are capable of elite defense but they decide to only play it for 10m a game.

ok thats seems pretty legit to back pedal and I am standing by what I said if whiteside was playing. And if its both bosh and whiteside the cavs should have been shaking in their botos.

>>67520370
>le bad shooting meme
10 rebounds, 6 assists, was fucking +25 on the game. +25. next highest was biyombo with +15.
lowry is the only reason the raptors are winning this series, his +/- most games has been great, he does so much more than just make shots, but he also made two extremely clutch timely shots tonight.
>>67521194
>lowry is the only reason why
top kek.
come on they are winning despite their two best players
>>67521182
raptors fans weren't quiet
they were screaming at casey for not putting biyombo in to protect the rim
>>67521182
Actually they were so talkative that Canadian flags made up the majority of the thread at that point.
>>67521189
why do you hate lebron so much? he gave you 2 championships you ungrateful fuck.
>>67521219
nah, they aren't winning despite lowry, they are winning despite derozan (except for tonight) lowry has kept them in games with timely shots and their offense looks absolutely lost without him. look at his +/-
>>67521251
lowry has been shit. he is just hitting a couple of shots every game. thats not good
>>67521230
because the way he left and how he is choosing to forget everything down here. fuck him. its not ungrateful. if he said thank you to the only people defending him 4 years I wouldnt be pissed but he said shit.

lol I love this post. I am not saying this but its more of the heat organization helped lebron get those rings. look how much trouble he has in cleveland. yes they are winning the east but they are easily losing in the finals.
but whatever its not that hard for lebron to acknowledge the people who defended him for four years where everyone was bashing on him. even fucking cleveland who had parties to make the worst lebron joke or lets not forget this.

come on man, at the end of the day, he's the major reason you guys won in 2012-2013.
>>67521219
lowry is the floor general. everyone looks lost when he's off the floor
>>67521459
lol no pat riley and the heat organization is the reason why lebron won. look at how much drama and bullshit is going on in cleveland.
>>67521466
and everyone looks off when he is on. I forget he is on the court for 99% of the time
>>67521486
>and everyone looks off when he is on
?
>I forget he is on the court for 99% of the time
like he should be

Fuck off

LeBron (the best player in the world at the time) is the reason the Heat won a title. Before he came there the Heat were mediocre.
You're literally fucking blind
Who comfy here gettting ready for cavs sweep.

what? when lebron and curry is playing I know where they are on every play. the sign of a super star is that I look where they are on the floor on every play and they will effect the game even without handling the ball.
I never say oh watch out for lowry in the post season but with lebron I keep an eye on them.
If singles, curry gets a career ending injury in the finals
>>67521547
>heat won a title before lebron
and those two teams before lebron came were bad because their best player was mario fucking chalmers and jermaine oneil.
>>67521547
and lets dont forget another top 25 player was added along with lebron
>>67521600
And you can thank Shaq + the refs for that title too.
Holy fucking shit man. Ya the best player was Mario Chalmers but guess what? LeBald came over and quickly got the Heat 2 titles in his short 4 years there. Why? Because a team + the best player in the world = WIN
Dubs for da land.
Who /RBL/ here?

how was the raps game? fell asleep at halftime
>>67521911
Almost a blowout until the Heat made a comeback to cut the lead to 10 at the half and almost tied it in the 4th.
Raptors lead by 3 with like a minute left
>>67521911
Wade got a couple phantom calls, Lowry shot a clutch 3 and then another fadeaway jumper to seal the deal.
