lakers in a hell of a position. as long as the FO doesn't get cute and try to trade the pick, or try to draft a non simmons/ingram player(they won't), they just gladly take whoever philly doesn't between simmons/ingram and it's a perfect fit
Predictions for tonight?
Thunder 113 - Warriors 111
>>67677112
50% in what? Shooting? Win percentage? Because 50% does not apply to either.
At least finish your thought.
I'm calling it thunder by 4
>>67677222
you posted the stat first stupid ass, you should know I'm talking about his finals record.
I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN
>>67677334
I believe you won't
>>67677286
And his finals record is two wins and four losses

Like I said la, never trust the stats.
>>67676919

>>67677170
Thunder 108 - 103
>>67677286
His finals record is 33%
>>67677385

Bron's finals record is 2-1. Mavs loss was the only loss that was his fault.
>>67677449

Why? They are the most horrible team to watch. They're like the Warriors only in that they miss their 3s and Harden can't do shit but chuck 3s and score FTs.
I mean it is fun watching him turnover the ball 10 times each game.
I'm a Bucks fan.

Well, is there any chance the Bucks will land another decent rook? Vaughn's good, but him and Inglis need some time to grow.
Warriors haven't lost consecutive home games since January 2014.
>>67680354
this draft is a combo of meh/mediocre players and crapshoot players. basically either a boring bench contributor or a coinflip at the 10 spot for the bucks
I tell you what though, Waiters can really fucking defend.
>>67680229
picking up Rose's contract is not a good idea for the Suns.
>>67680354
huh? It was impossible for the Bucks to get the 8th pick last night. They could only get 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, or 12.
>>67680527
they wont be good for 2 more years anyways.
>>67680595

that would be pretty nice honestly
>>67680595
Digit*
>>67680601
sure
add some sweeteners and this could be an interesting deal.
>>67680229
This is atrocious for the Suns and I'm not even a fan of Knight. If the Suns want to rebuild they can do a hell of a lot better than 2 role players. Neither Dougie nor Portis are even average yet. Bledsoe alone could return a better package than this.
Last digit is how many rings durant gets
With how well the Cavs are clicking, how likely are they to win the chip?
>>67680229
>trading bad knees for bad knees
lol
You guys fucking suck step up your meme game
>>67680836
its more like trading the worst knees in the league for somewhat bad knees. Bledsoe's injuries arent really comparable to the devastation that Rose's knees have gone through
>>67681003
That seems about right
>>67680813
IMO cavs are the favourite now. easy way to the finals, more versatile team (can play physical game, but also meme shooting small ball), they also seem to have finally found chemistry too.
>>67680725
He's going to play 6 more seasons at least to break Kareem's scoring record.
Thats 6 more rings.

No, LeBron isn't going to win one for the Land. The Cavs, including LeBron, are going to win many for the Land.

So looking back at last year's draft, did the Knicks actually get a blessing in disguise when the Lakers moved up to #2 and the Knicks moved down to #4? If the Knicks had gotten #2, they would have taken either Russell or Okafor. Okafor finished 5th in ROTY voting, Russell didn't get a single ROTY vote. The guy that the Knicks got with the 4th pick, Porzingis, finished 2nd. Did the Knicks actually get lucky by getting unlucky?
>>67682370
I am equally happy with any team other than the Warriors winning.
>Raptors
The memes and shitposting will be unreal
>Da Land
The memes and shitposting will be unreal and it's a feel good story for Leaveland
>OKC
Super comfy feel good story for Westbrook and Durant overcoming their demons and finally getting a ring
please just not the Warriors. that would be so boring
>>67682398
all i know is the 76ers got fucking screwed
3rd was literally the worst spot as he wanted to take either russell towns or porzingod. but the 76ers fans wouldve lynched him if he took a meme latvian over okafor
>>67682398
got lucky
Curry? I'm eating that for dinner tonight hahahahahaha
>>67676759
I just crunched the current numbers. Regular and postseason, LeBron is a career 40-130 under those parameters. 8-23 in the playoffs.
>clutch

Are you the LeBron hater? Go fuck yourself.

Oh shit guys we triggered the janitor. We gotta get out while we can, lay low for a while until he leaves to make some more hot pockets.

You have ten years to explain why the Cavs winning the Hip and blowing the meme the fuck out (assuming they beat the Thunder) isn't the feel good story of the millennium that deserves everyone non-bandwagoner's support.

I got his mom in the hair, better wet it down first
Guys. GUYS. Basketball is a team sport. Clutchness and Finals performance, when assessing an individual, should be about individual performance. LeBron has played in 6 Finals. He played like shit in 2007 but he was 22 and had an absolutely terrible team around him. In 2011 he shat the bed. In 2012 and 2013 he played some of the best postseason basketball in NBA history and won titles. In 2014 and 2015 he played at the same level but all his teammates were worse.
>>67683102
Everyone but knicks "fans" has known this for years.
remember when the knicks celebrated hard about winning that first round series a few years ago
literally craptors tier organization
why do foreigners all support loser organizations like the craptors and knicks?
>>67683062
>picked fourth
>second or third best player in the draft class
Seems like the definition of not-a-bust.
>>67683169
people that hold 2-4 against bron are just retards
replace lebron with prime MJ and what changes? They probably win the 2011 ring but still lose the other 3
knicks have made it out of the first round one time since 1999
raptors have made it out of the first round two times since 1999
craptors literally a more successful organization lmao
Who's better Wade or Pippen?
Guys what if the Lakers and Sixers make a trade.
>Lakers trade #2 overall draft pick and DeAngelo Russell
>Sixers trade Okafor, Embiid, Saric, this year's Miami first rounder, next year's Lakers first rounder, and a 2018 second rounder
>>67683270
Replace LeBron with Curry and he'd be 6-0
>>67683417
oh look another laker delusion post
your gimmick is getting old make a new one like 7kt did
>>67683270
>this meme again
The Cavs lost two single possession games in 2007 while LeBron shot 35.6% and came one shy of setting an NBA record for most turnovers in a 4 game stretch. Negligible improvement gives the Cavs a 2-2 series, and any non-Wizards iteration of MJ is a significant improvement on both ends. 14-15 he was the worst defender on the floor and failed to shoot 40%. Team still nearly went up 3-0 on the back of insane defense. LeBron produced a Sixers-tier offense and shot 30% away from the rim while attempting double digit uncontested shots in almost every game. Again, negligible improvement over him = a win.
LeBron deserves no blame for 2014. Anything outside of that is fair game.
>>67683475
>this meme poster again
>>67683417
Why are lelakerfags so pathetic?
>>67683468
That trade is actually pretty good for the Sixers, m8. They get to build around Russell/Ingram/Simmons/Noel. What about it seems unbalanced?
>>67683419
>he still thinks the meme didn't fluke into the last championship
The very best part about this season is the Warriors going to get destroyed by the Thunder and suddenly not seeing their """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""fans""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" in the Oracle, or anywhere, next season.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Age 22 was Jordan's rookie season and he still put up far better numbers than LeBron's chokejob.
>>67683610
>rookie vs 4 year vet
ya gr8 comparison
>>67683628
thank you based GermanBreh
>>67683475
I still can't believe you're posting this garbage.
In 2007 he was 22 years old and was outmatched against a vastly superior Spurs squad. Last year LeBron was their only source of offense. He had to create offense every single possession. Their next best player was Matthew fucking Dellavedova. Their offense plummeted by 40 points per 100 when he was off the floor. He was doing this against the best defense in the league, which threw multiple, versatile defenders at him.
>>67683633
>Kawhi's hands
Please don't post another photo of your 5 inch dick...
>>67683676
He got swept by the Bucks in the first round. Next.
>>67683722
And the Warriors nearly lost.
>>67682756
Oh look it's the retarded Knicks fan who thought they'd be make the playoffs last year.
I bet 75% of my savings on warriors tonight. theres no way this team loses 2 in a row at home. Game 1 they were just off so expect a blowout tonight
>Based German is like Michael Jordan with his tongue all out dunking on you fools

name ONE modern era star that that has ever happened to before, i'll wait
>>67683722
>In 2007 he was 22 years old and was outmatched against a vastly superior Spurs squad.
Yes. HE was outmatched. Not his team. His team shut down prime Duncan. And age is a hell of a lot less relevant when you enter the league at 18. It was his 4th season, he wasn't new to the league and doesn't get off easy
>Last year LeBron was their only source of offense. He had to create offense every single possession.
lmao and guess what? He was one of the least efficient players on the roster. Every shot he took was worse than letting pretty much anyone else do anything. JR chucking up 20 threes a game cold would literally have resulting in an equally efficient offense with an equal amount of ball movement.
>Their offense plummeted by 40 points per 100 when he was off the floor.
ohhh yes, dat 3mpg sample size... Strong argument.
>He was doing this against the best defense in the league, which threw multiple, versatile defenders at him
Other than the part where he only faced single coverage outside of the post and was dared to shoot, then proceeded to brick everything.
>>67683808

Boston has no logical selection at #3, has wanted Okafor all year.

Lakers get a re-start with Ingram and Dunn to defend the perimeter.
>>67683857
>muh sample size
>muh efficiency
>muh jr smith shooting 50 times would be more efficient
This just proves to me you know absolutely fuck all about basketball. Stick to data analysis because you're obviously really good at that. I'm not continuing with this conversation.
LeBron vs MJ might as well be MJ vs Wilt because the eras are so different. Jordan played in a league where help defense was illegal. Remember last night when the commentators were screaming at Casey for not sending help when LeBron went into the post? That was every night of Jordan's career except for when he played against a top 5 defender. And luckily for him the best perimeter defender in the league was on his team. It's a completely different league. There have been 4 distinct basketball eras. Pre-shotclock, pre-3 point line, the pre-zone/handcheck era, and now. With Curry going crazy and hack-a-Shaq getting out of hand we're set for another wave of rule changes. Comparing between eras is useless. Might as well be Johnny Unitas vs Aaron Rodgers.
>>67683923
Oh i'm sorry he lost 3-1. Next.

>>67684014
Just one last point: the two smartest minds in basketball right now (JVG and Zach Lowe) agree that LeBron should've won FMVP last year.

>>67684104
Damn right, fuckhole
Reminder that LeBron is the best elimination/game 7 performer in the history of the NBA
LeBron
32 ppg 10 rbds 7 assists on 56.4 TS% against an average Drtg of 101 (-5.6 compared to league average)
Kobe:
25 ppg 6 rbds 3 assists on 50 TS% against a 102.7 Drtg (-3.2)
LeBron was far better against better defenses

just Lebron
end of debate
Absolutely no pressure at all on the Thunder tonight. You just know the weight of having the greatest regular season ever is going to start getting heavy at some point.
>>67684538
the entire argument of kobe > lebron is rings. Statistically lebron shits on kobe
>>67684538
Literally millions of casuals think that
>>67684538
Lebron is clearly better than Kobe
I don't think Michael would have won once with Lebron's original Cleveland team

Nah, no one who's actually followed their entire careers and has an ounce of understanding about how to gauge individual impact would think Kobe is superior. Hell even the biggest Kobe stans outside of /sp/ acknowledge LeBron's prime craps on Kobe's

Keeping this a close game throughout would be a great result for OKC, no matter who wins.
You put Lebron on GS and Curry on Cleveland. What happens?
>>67684603
ELO or BPI or whatever don't take matchups into account. Golden State matches up well against Cleveland (Iggy on LeBron, Klay on Kyrie, Love can't keep up with any perimeter players) and Cleveland matches up really well against OKC (Thompson can beat Adams on the boards and everyone else can rain 3s, LeBron is Durant's father).
Do you think Michael Jordan watches every NBA playoff game? Or any of them?
>>67684603
why is it unlikely for the cavs to win the title?
Swap Kawhi and Lebron and Spurs easily win the championship and Cleveland doesn't make it to the finals.
>>67684674
Cavs get worse, Warriors stay as dominant in a different way.

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
>>67684998
He's still overpaid, but he does an important job of controlling the glass and getting extra possessions. He's just one of those dogs that a championship team needs

At this rate the team will blow up. The main question is what can they get for Jimmy Butler. He is already 27 and but the time the Bulls become good again he will be about 32 . The Bulls WILL trade him they are just trying to look through their options and asking for as much as they can.
>>67685058

I don't want any trashtalking fucks pretending to be Cavs fans after they win it all. No one is allowed to bandwagon this city. That said whole-hearted conversion is fine but only if you're prepared to suffer.

Trade him to the Celtics. Celtics have too many guards, young players, and picks. Celtics also need a star. Bulls need guards, young players, and picks. Bulls also have a star.
Bulls get Marcus Smart, Evan Turner, and two first round picks. Celtics get Jimmy Butler. Celtics unload some of their excess roster and get their franchise player, Bulls get more young guys to develop and 2 picks to get even more young guys.

Because it's Cleveland. Whenever it seems like they're going to win the championship, they find a way to fail. Go watch that 30 for 30 about Cleveland that just recently aired and you'll understand that God is real and he hates Cleveland.
So let me get this straight, just to be on the safe side: you all don't really believe that the Thunder are gonna win Game 2? You are just memeing, right? Because otherwise you may end up disappointed, and that'd be a shame.

Sure we did. It was pretty much agreed upon from the beginning that the top seeds in the West were all better than anything the East was going to shit out. The Cavs look better than they are because they get to beat up on D League teams.
>>67685392
>buying into the NBA's obvious Curry goldenboy narrative
>>67685375
Just like kobr
Truly the heir apparent
>>67685529
The East is weak, but I'd take Atlanta and Toronto over Memphis, Houston, Dallas, and the Clippers without Paul or Griffin, and I'd even put them on the same level as the Blazers. The bottom 5 seeds in the West were unusually shit.
When did you finally realize LeBron was the good guy
Curry is an easy-to-hate villain. He's confident in a smug smarmy way rather than a cool alpha way. He grew up wealthier than 99% of the NBA. His Christ-faggotry is obnoxious, unlike the usual "oh yeah and thank God."
>>67685581
I wouldn't take Toronto in any sort of contest. How they managed to limp their way to the ECF is entirely beyond me. They have played like absolute garbage and would definitely have been swept by every team in the West except for Houston or Dallas.

it could go either way. Curry isn't going to miss as many shots as he did in game 1, but Durant isn't going to miss as many shots as he did in game 1 either. Thunder could totally win again tonight, but I have a feeling Bestbrook is going to Worstbrook tonight so they wont win

I can see why some casuals could see Westgod as a villain but let's be real. That's just salt.
They don't like that the underdog is winning against their goldenboy and they only want him to have a perfect road to a championship and live happily ever after when that's bullshit and you have to play hard to win in this game.
>>67685693
Toronto is shit but they just beat a team led by Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng, Goran Dragic, and three games worth of Hassan Whiteside. I'm pretty sure they could beat a team led by Zach Randolph and the D-League All-Stars.

No one actually thinks cavs stand a chance against the west right? Toronto and heat were literally flinging shit at each other for 7 straight games. Are people actually giving value to a win over one those teams?
>>67685763
but an underdog is someone you don't expect to win. People do expect to be one of the teams to win it all. Raptors, Grizzlies, Hawks, Hornets were considered underdogs
>>67685794
They are even bigger underdogs tonight
>>67685794
How? They were predicted to lose to the Spurs in 6, and lose to the Warriors in 5. If they beat the Warriors they'll be predicted to lose the Cavs too. Of the 5 teams considered championship material (Warriors, Spurs, Cavs, Thunder, Clippers) Thunder were considered the weakest along with the Clippers.
Do you guys give Adams a pass for calling you a monkey? Skip Bayless was outraged. From his perspective looking in.

Hornacek isn't a bad coach. He's not really a good coach either though. His only real merit is the "Three-Headed Dragon" offense he had when he played Isaiah Thomas, Eric Bledsoe, and Goran Dragic at the same time. He couldn't make the playoffs with a decent Suns team, I doubt he'll be able to turn around the Knicks dumpster fire.

Warriors trade gaymond for a PG. LeBron/Barnes play forward. LeBron runs into the paint and passes to a wide open 3 point shooter every play. They go 75-7.
Cavs trade kyrie for a forward. Hell, just trade kyrie for green. Curry runs his meme n roll but can't pass over defenders so literally has to hero ball the entire game. He averages 35 but the cavs barely make the playoffs.

True maybe I'm not giving him enough credit, he had 3 legit players in prime Thomas/Bledsoe/Dragic. Look at how successful Thomas and Dragic have been since leaving the Suns.
Still though, he's much better than Derek Fisher. I don't think there is much he can do with this Knicks team though.
