That's such a bad deal for Philly but it's so in line with every trade Colangelo made with the Raps that I think it'll happen
So if you were coach Lue /sp/, what would you prefer to get killed by GSW in the paint or by their back court? Because there is no way the Cavs can defend both at the same time.
last game looked like a regular season game
>>68070270
I'd rather get killed by the 3 because they can miss a lot especially with curry trying to shoot all the time
>>68070008

>>68070234
LeBron should honestly just an hero or leave Cleveland again
Did the Raps win any respect from /nba/ for their grinding heartfilled run?
>>68070371
yes
even if /nba/ says no, in their hearts its a yes
>>68070183
I really think there is no way the Cavs can win the series against the Warriors. If they go for scoring their D is crap. If they focus on D their scoring drops off a cliff. The Dubs are too well rounded and they know how to make LeBron work for every point. So if it's Lebron vs GSW the Cavs will lose for sure. If it's the Cavs team vs the Warriors team then there is hope but I don't think that will happen. The cavs bench is shit and they can't as a team do offense and defense at the same time.

GSW had atleast 2 games in which both of them they shot 3 pts more effectively than 2 pts

>>68070035
All of those come with a Leastern Conference asterisk
>A lover of practical jokes, Gilbert once wanted to dummy up a fake news release that the Cavs were signing Dennis Rodman to a 10-day contract and put it out on April Fools’ Day; he was talked out of that one. After a playoff victory over the Washington Wizards 10 years ago, Gilbert had a remote-controlled fart machine installed under coach Mike Brown’s seat. When Brown went up to the dais for the postgame news conference, Gilbert stood in the back and worked the controls. Brown was flummoxed — although the microphones didn’t pick up the sounds.
>>68070648
This picture is so weird. Why does that guy behind Gilbert to the right have such a huge head. It's like 2x bigger than Gilbert's and Gilbert is closer to the camera. And why the fuck is the guy to the right of the big head man so fucking tan? He looks ridiculous.

I know this one of you guys
Ex-NBA star Stephen Jackson says he called out a white guy in his gym -- to his face -- after he heard the man compare Serena Williams to a gorilla.
Jackson says he heard the man talking about the gorilla that got shot in Cincinnati -- when the white guy quipped, "They shot Serena? Serena got shot?"
Jackson says he debated whether or not to let it slide ... but ultimately opted for a confrontation.
"I straight up told old boy, 'I heard you and it's wrong.'"
Jackson says the man tries to apologize -- but Jackson made it clear, "That s*** ain't cool."

just report him
Timmy has always been a team guy. and I love him to death, but I think it's time he does the ultimate sacrifice for the team. I know that the Lakers are retarded as fuck and would trade players and a shitton of money for Timmy. Hopefully we can get a deal for Randle so Pop can turn him into the next Duncan. It stings to think about this but the Spurs way has always been team first, and Timmy will always be a Spur, even if he goes to the Lakers.
Lead by example, champ.

He is already on his way to having as many rings as LeBron and at this rate he'll end up with at least five or six. The successor to Jordan is some tiny pretty eyed lightskin nigga from some junior college.
You niggas better invest in Curry's shoes now because in a few years they'll resell for a nice price.
For the first time since Jordan left the Bulls we're finally experiencing a true goat in this sport again.

>>68072783
Still doesn't change the fact he's not an elite defender.

Says the Curry dickrider.
Michael Jordan won 6 ships with 6 finals mvps because he was the best player on the team every time.
Curry just has a stacked team with no parity or decent competition.
He can NEVER be compared to his airness.
>>68073220
>LeBron is a bust
No, but the Cavs ever winning a NBA Championship with him definitely are.
>>68073364
They didn't even want to win the game last night, and still won anyway. THAT'S how fucked Leaveland is.
All LeBrick knows how to do: Back up and shove his ass into the defender to get closer to the basket.
That's some shit I'd do if I was playing a 6 year old in basketball.
Man up and get by the defender by either shooting over him or getting past him. That's real 1 on 1. Slowly backing up into him is boring, pussy basketball.
I'm a huge lebron hater but I think he could be an elite defender if he put a lot of effort into it. Some say he goes the harden route and saves his energy on defense because he has to carry his team on offense, but I personally think its because he's too over protective of his image. He doesn't want to look like he tries on defense because he could look foolish like mj did when ai crossed him up. This is why guys like mj and kobe are such a different breed, they want to utterly defeat the opposition, whereas lebron often settles on poking his hand at the ball when his defender beats him and never really tries to recover his position. He also never sticks to his man, he just hovers between passing lanes to either help, double up or steal passes. When you're guarded by lebron he'll give you all the space in the world unless you're a huge threat, which is why iggy got so much wide open 3s.
Kevin Love for Wiggins was a bad idea
>>68073494
>That's real 1 on 1

>>68073494
>Back up and shove his ass into the defender to get closer to the basket.
That's called posting up. A move most forwards rely on. Are you literally 12?
>>68073498
He has to carry his team on offense? Maybe last year in the finals but kyrie is a better scorer than lebron. Most of what hes been doing is catching the ball in the post, waiting for the double team and passing out to a three pointer
>>68073573
This faggot >>68072660

>>68073579
Is Kobe the best NBA actor? Too bad it's for a flop movie.
>>68073656
honestly he should be cast as the villian for space jam 2
>>68073512
it was a horrible decision. Wiggins is a decent wing defender and his length would help against the warriors not to mention a second scoring threat from the guard position. Giving a long term deal to tristan was a shit plan too. gm bron isn't very good at gm'img
>>68073684
*villain
fugg
>>68073684
>villian
I can see that triggering some people but it'd be pretty comical to see him in such a role.
>>68073717
man it makes so much sense though, narratively. (i happen to have a degree in this shit.) kobe as the rightful heir to jordan's legacy falling short one championship would make for a great turned-villain-then-turned-good-guy-at-the-end-again character. catharsis and shit, foils everywhere, marketable self-deprecation by ways of acknowledging your own shortcomings, just like space jam proper. giving the people the kobe/lebron finals matchup they purportedly always wanted but never got.
>>68073600
He's still the primary decision maker, is expected to play 40+, and expected to close out the game strong or get roasted by the media.
But yeah I don't think its the harden approach anyways, its definitely an image thing. It ties in with so many other unexplainable shit in his career. For example, everyone is shocked when he's not being aggressive crunch time(what if he misses clutch free throws?) or why he didnt post up lowry in the last round(what if he misses and people say he can't post up Lowry like I couldn't post up barea?), stupid shit like this gets in his head and results in him doing dumb shit to protect his image. He's super fake. He's LeBeta.
>>68073717
"The Black Mamba" is a pretty good villain name to be honest

Is it just me or does it seems that LeBron is the only diva on the Cavs and gets butt blasted whenever his team hits a rough spot. Someone on that team needs to stand up to him and tell him shut the fuck up at times. It really messes with a team's dynamic if the superstar keeps being a little pussy when shit don't go your way.

I can't prove it but I think Hinkie is secretly dropping off John Wall OC and then leaving. It happened 3 times now.
Can a forensics team get on this?

It's mostly envy spawned hate because a manlet in basketball terms is btfo all the mofos that look like proper nba superstars. And /sp/ can't stand that a guy who looks like a twig can be so dominant. I just think he's the little kid's dream of becoming great come true.

>The worst night was when I sat down to the computer and it went completely crazy, sending out bombs, weird loud sounds,
moments of darkness, deathly blackness, I worked and worked and worked but could do nothing. Then I noticed what looked like liquid that had hardened on the screen and around the slot near the „brain,“ the slot where you inserted the disks.
>One of my cats had sprayed the machine. I had to take it down to the computer shop. The mechanic was out and a salesman removed a portion of the „brain,“ a yellow liquid splashed on his white shirt and he screamed „cat spray!“ Poor guy. Poor guy. Anyhow, I left the computer. Nothing in the warranty covered cat spray. They had to take practically all the guts
out of the „brain.“
>It took them 8 days to fix it. During that time I went back to my typewriter. It was like trying to break rock with my hands. I had to learn to type all over again. I had to get good and drunk to get the flow. And again, it was one night to write it and another night to straighten it out.
But I was glad the typer was there. We had been toghether over 5 decades and had some great times. When I got the computer back it was with some sadness that I returned the old typer to its place in the corner. But I went back to the computer and the words flew like crazy birds. And there were no longer any blue flashes and pages that vanished. Things were even better. That cat spraying the machine fixed everything up. Only now, when I leave the computer I cover it with a large each towel

i don't recommend tackling the old and young classics head on just for the sake of it. people tend to do that so they can say they've read them, but if you want to get into a topic as cost-effective and fundamentally sound as possible, get some recent introductory text books or introductions and go from there. the oxford "very short introductions" are fine, they're short and cheap and have reference chapters that tell you where to go from there. i mean, i could technically recommend stuff like jürgen osterhammel's "transformation of the world" that basically covers the global 19th century in an extraordinary effort with but a few minor issues, but it's 1200 pages and you can just read 10-12 introductions on various topics instead.

>>Yeah, I remember being very happily surprised that you admitted vulnerability after that. You’re like Hillary Clinton in that people expect you to prove toughness in a way that men don’t need to.
>Yes, yes, displaying a level of strength and a lack of vulnerability, because that’s what a prerequisite of the job is, when, in actuality, all of the things that make us human will help us do that job better. I’ve been expressing my vulnerability because it’s the truth. I was literally on the verge of tears. And my take on that Popovich situation has changed. We all used to give him a pass because he would say to us privately, "Well, I just can’t help myself. I’m in the game, and this is my job." But I don’t give him a pass anymore. It now frustrates me to the point where I want to say, "I’m not giving you a pass because I’ve seen you when Jeff Van Gundy walks over there, and the interaction is totally different."

Some others, esp. ones with history topics, are just plain introductions- the cold war one was a bit of a disappointment.

That's deceiving because it could be Kyrie going for a drive or jumpshot.
Could be LeBron getting the defensive rebound and immediately going for a drive or iso play.
They also ran ridiculous amounts of iso plays early in the game but they had to pass the ball to the guy to initiate it, and Lue was obviously the one that wanted them to run those iso plays.

>KD's best bet is to stay in OKC
But it's not. The Warriors are rather young and here to stay and I just don't see OKC being able to get past them.
Joining an emerging team in the East will greatly increase his chances of winning a ring, with a declining Lebron as his only competition before the Finals.
>>68076623
The whole league is about to have the cap expanded so it doesn't really matter, it's going to have as much impact as it does now.

Scenario: Let's say that Kevin Durant re-signs with the Thunder for 1-year on a pay cut this offseason so that he can get paid big bucks next offseason due to the cap rise and because it will be one-year the thunder will be pressured to make sure their team is dominant enough to win that ring and since they need a 3-and-D 2 guard badly so that they have spacing on their floor so they can shoot many 3s and so that Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant will have weapons around the perimeter and also make sure not to lose the defensive capabilities/get better on defense, which player do you think is best for the thunder?

Very possible scenario. No idea how much money the Thunder have to play with but could they work Batum/Turner/possibly Jerebko into their lineups? If the Celtics keep either, I'd lean towards them trying to resign Jerebko because their guard spots are crowded.

AI was cool and changed the culture of the NBA and revitalized the brand with poor black people.
LeBron didn't do this and only polarized the NBA with his whining, drama, and prima donna attitude affecting the rest of the league.
Now you've got free agency going out of control and ever superstar is expected to pull bitch moves like LeBron and leave to form superteams when no one has done this but Aldridge.
He also fucked up the sports media with rampant unchecked rumor mills and E! quality drama and obsession.
ESPN was especially fucked up by LeBum and his bitchiness.

I wouldn't doubt it friend, i lived in downtown cleveland near the flats for a year and a half and it just seems people just didn't care to clean up all the mess and the traphouses etc.
The governor is too focused on unimportant shit like rebuilding public square for white people
>>68077627
because he's not nearly as fake as lebeta.
>>68077744
ok, thank you. would love to see game when i come to us around the 13th

Westbrook
>>68078010
Kill yourself.
Shaq was a bitch that couldn't handle the heat, Westbrook just kept it real. He demands excellence, not fat fucks.
is next game monday?
>>68078168
game is Sunday night, so I guess Monday for you
FUCK MY SHIT UP FUCK MY SHIT UP FUCK MY SHIT UP

LeBeta c u c k s are literally 12 years old if you have to ask this question
>>68078235
yes
Why Didn't LeBron Drop 50 Points Like Last Year
>>68078324
he missed alot of easy layup shots, looked very rusty
>>68078324
LeBald is getting LeOld and will one day barely get 20 points.
How will you guys fee when LeBeta retires?

>whining, drama, and prima donna attitude affecting the rest of the league.
NBA/college scouts, agents, sportswear reps and sports media cultivated this kind of mindset.
If you keep telling a highschool kid that he's going to be an instant millionaire just by putting a ball in a hoop its quite obvious that they'll have issues and a giant ego.
i have no knowledge of college basketball
who do you think the Kings should draft and is Rondo staying?
Referees being allowed to stop the gamy for 5+ minutes is incredibly stupid
>>68078995
how the fuck should we know
>>68079149
we could take uneducated guesses
>>68078995
Kings draft a bust and Hondo stays. Kings need to trade Cousins and Rudy Gay for some real talent.
>>68079290
Cousins is too good to be traded, no one will pay whats he is worth
Gay on the other could go but it would be beautifull to have him in playoff situations
>>68079369
Its been years since Cousins was drafted and he still hasn't sniffed the playoffs and got every coach fired. Hes good but his attitude is toxic. Kings will forever be shit until he leaves.
Kings should try resign Seth Curry so he become as good as Stephen /s
>>68079369
>no one will pay
>>68074418
>>68074461
Yall are fucking idiots. #1 and 2 are top 5 players all time, followed by a top 30 player who's the goddamn logo.
The 2 for 6 thing is idiotic anyway. If he was 2 for 2 that's objectively a worse, less accomplished career. It's as if yall think it's better to lose earlier in the playoffs.
>>68079574
he didnt turn out as great as he could but still, what could the Kings realistically get for him that would make them better contenders?
what ever happened to Staukas?
>>68079592
Magnets don't like the ugliest curry
>>68079650
Went to Sixers
>>68079650
Stauskas was traded to the 76ers.
The center position isnt even a big deal anymore. Cousins could be traded for someone like Batum and a couple other key players. Cousins is in that weird territory where hes too good to trade but you kinda have to in order to make the team better.
>>68078515
That's what literal cucks say when their wife's are fucking black men
>>68079828
Just make him shoot 3 pt'ers
>>68079695
there goes his career
i feel for the kid
Watching Game 1, you clearly see a difference between Cleveland and OKC. Cleveland does not have the level of defense that OKC brought, and GS can clearly play their game against Cleveland and dominate. It was obvious. The championship series is over (GS vs OKC). We are now watching a consolation match for the Cavs, who will lose the series in an atrocious manner. The series will be an entertainment showcase for the Warriors.

>5 time first team defense
>1 time second team defense
>DPOY runner up twice
>"its a meme!! xD"
get fucked retard, keep hiding from the evidence
>>68079828
thats the reason i dont want him to be traded, for that exact situation we would never get a fair return
i think he can be a great second best player on the team but maybe im just blind to his attituted problem and he will never truly blossom
Amazing how the media gives Curry a pass anytime he plays poorly. When he plays poorly, "he's injured", when he plays well "he's the savior."
If LeBron went 4 of 14 for 11 points in a playoff game no one would let him live it down. In fact it would immediately tarnish his legacy.
OH WAIT that's already what happened, game 4 of the 2011 finals. His worst playoff game by far. A game that LeBron haters constantly reference to say that he can't be the greatest. Meanwhile, Curry is off to his second consecutive mediocre/bad finals and he will immediately be forgiven because he's cute and has THE GREATEST SUPPORTING CAST EVER.

What they don't have is a bench. And JR literally disappeared.
>>68080044
why is it so important for Curry to be considered as good as he is?
>>68080141
JR scored his first points in the third quarter i think, i thought he would play well in the finals
and the lack of bench is gonna kill the Cavs, the bones of Moe Willians and Mosgov is worth nothing
>>68078477
Ecstatic. I hate levels and the black hole of a city he plays in. Once he retires I can go back to enjoying the game instead of constantly rooting for the team most qualified to cuckaliers him.
>>68080168
?? What are you asking. I just think that it's important to at least make an attempt to evaluate teams and players objectively.
If Cleveland's record after Blatt wasn't an indication that his firing was a mistake, then Lue's Game 1 strategy and inability to adjust should surely quell the Blatt haters. Lue's 'Rah Rah' approach has masked his lack of X's and O's strategic intellect. Lebron loves having Lue around as only in comparison to Lue can he claim to have a high BB IQ.
It will be great to see Blatt replace Luke as a Warrior's assistant coach next year!
>>68080222
>evaluating subective matter in an objective matter
not gonna happen still opinions, you just seemed really determined to put Curry a level down than "common sense" currently has
>>68076206

>>68080331
i trust you motherfucker go out there and own those bum ass aliens
>>68080203
Cleveland - forever cursed.
Now Cleveland knows what Atlanta felt like and it's just going to get worse so suck it up boys & girls. Just like Momma Cooper you all ain't getting no rings.
>>68080311
Didn't say that it is objective, just said that we should make an ATTEMPT to evaluate subjective things objectively.
Yes, I am admittedly determined to put Curry down a level from where the media and Warriors fans have placed him, because I think their evaluation is wildly inaccurate.
He's a top 30 player all time playing with the best supporting cast all time, not a top 5 player playing with a good/great supporting cast. The first two rounds, last year's finals, and game 1 of this year's finals, and pretty much every warriors gave proves that.
>>68080460
i feel bad for Lebron man
>>68080510
*game
>>68080510
i think very few consider him to be a non-discussion top 5 my man
look how many years in the top it took lebron to be there
he is top 30 for sure, maybe top 20 even

Curry and Kaly had more than ebnough open shots but just missed them.
OKC managed to stop everyone on the Warriors team BUT Klay due to Roberson, the only guy that can guard Klay effectively, being benched with 5 fouls.
OKC played exceptional defense the majority of the series while Cavs came in with bad frontcourt D and lapses in backcourt defense by JR shit and Kyrie. Shumpert also tried too hard and made a lot of dumb mistakes with fouls.
>>68080568
I'll bet you that 80% of the media and Warriors fans would say that he's definitely top 10 and bound for top 5, which is bullshit.
I'm not directly addressing people claiming he's top 5, rather the general reckless slinging around of bullshit like "greatest offensive player ever" "underrated defender" "back to back MVPs and chips!" (ignoring the fact that he probably still won't have a Finals MVP on his resume, something that would never happen to Bird/Jordan/LeBron).
>>68080869
he is certainly one of the greatest shooters of all time and that is un-argueable, that puts him in the list of one of the greatest offensive players evers by his 3 point skill off the dribble alone, underrated defender just means he is a bad defender and everyone knows

Fair enough. What you are saying is reasonable, what the vast majority of the media and NBA fans (since so many are Warriors bandwaggoners) is not.
>>68070806
on one hand, gilbert is terrible in all aspects
on the other hand, he cockblocked the lakers over cp3 and caused endless tears
>>68083689
Ah, what could have been for the Lakers.... this is exactly why I never want to see da land win a title. Ever.
>>68080141
SC and KT both missed more than usual on top of defense, but it took the form of double teams and rotations that lead to mismatches elsewhere.
Without OKC's long reach and two of Cleveland's 'stars' being subpar defenders, the Warriors without quick releases (aka Barnes, Livingston, Barbossa) now get to play their games.
Livingston in particular is a matchup nightmare for Delly or Irving.
It's almost an embarrassment of riches for GS to have Iguodala, Livingston and Barbossa coming off the bench.
