FIRST FOR GOOD DEFENSE LEADS TO GREATER OFFENSE
>>68980548
Imagine the defense of the 2016-2017 Houston Rockets with Mike "lol what's defense" D'Antoni
>>68980548
The U.S. even sending a team, seems like everyone is staying home
why would he post that guys?
>>68980548
>i am a professional athlete getting paid millions of dollars but i can't score outside the paint and the only skill i have is that i can jump really high
>>68980548
I want a proper GS v LAC playoff series. Mainly because I think Chris Paul can shit all over Steph, and I want to see DJ and Green chimp out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdVFwaJtEkE
>>68980636
he plays good defense and blocks shots and rebounds well too
>>68980646
it already happened.
>talk shit all season about Warriors championship being a fluke and that they didn't have to face any tough opponents in the playoffs
>get fucking destroyed at home
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX07qwnqgS4
>>68980646
It already happened
>>68980679
can you imagine if this guy played with kobe or lebron? they'd kill themselves
>>68980679
>there are people who actually defend Harden as a top player
>>68980718
Is this a highlight reel for a basketball game or a 3 point contest highlight reel?
Is he the hero Orlando needs?
>>68980739
>david lee
they should've kept him desu famalam
>>68980718
Clippers get the last laugh, they gave Cavs the 1st round pick that ended up being Kyrie Irving as well as taking back DJ so Richard Jefferson would end up joining the Cavs this year.
Clippers LITERALLY get credit for cucking the warriors.
>>68980718
or was it this game? i don't even care. The Cloppers are so beneath me.

This is the like first season where I watched 90% of regular season games since I can't find a job.
I don't know how you guys do it. Regular season is so awful even the best teams playing each other is just meme shooting and people taking turns playing HORSE or some shit. Playoffs is actually a mans game where people play physical and display athletic skill instead of chucking up a meme from half court or flopping when someone breathes on you.
>>68980784
Do you think the thunder finally found out that he's really 35?
>>68980784
Orlando desperately needed a defense big man to pair with Vucivic. But giving up Oladipo was too much desu.
>>68980790
they don't have money desu famalam.
Oakland is not LA or NY or Miami
>>68980825
>I don't know how you guys do it
we're not casuals thats how we do it. go back to your job normie, this be a mans board.
>>68980798
i wouldn't talk shit you guys ended up in the same position as the clippers.
I miss Kobe
Why does he try so hard?
>>68980923
watch more okc games next season
Why do animes focus more on qt girls with big tits instead of qt girls with booty
>>68980949
Everyone sucked his dick for two years straight that's why.
Who's the best white player of all time?
Don't say Larry Bird. Overrated.
>>68980856
the warriors didn't lose to a shit team such as Houston and weren't so cursed that they lose two of their starters and lose again in the playoffs to another inferior team.
The Warriors lost to a better team in the Finals.
not a suns fans, desu i dont like that team because of OCD for some reason but...when bledsoe comes back, they have knight there too..what happens to devin booker?
>>68980997
Larry Bird
>>68980997

>>68981075
You watched a shaqtin a fool and now you wondering why a top 10 player is a starter for one of the 30 nba teams. Interesting
>>68980679
>>68981075
James Harden is better as a catch-and-score player. His dribbling out the clock and selfishness will not win championships.
Houston needs to get a real starting PG to move the ball around and get the team involved.
>>68981134
>James Harden
>playing with a real PG
Nigga is gonna average 35/5/9 with D'antoni next season and get like 45 wins.

we finna see rockets average 120 ppg while allowing that much as well
>"I really don't think it's about loyalty," the shot-blocking center said while making an appearance at "Dew NBA 3X," a nationwide three-on-three basketball competition that made a weekend stop at the National Young Arts Foundation. "I think it's just about the best situation for myself and that's what I think it is."

A drunk prediction for 2016-17 that I guarantee to be true:
>Kevin Durant signs with Golden State
>Warriors go 70-12, ironically with one of the losses coming against OKC
>Warriors beat the Blazers in the WCF
>Warriors beat the Hawks in the Finals
I'd bet my first-born son on this.
>>68982298

You've already lost
>>68982295

You'll all look back on this day when the Hawks blow out LeBron in Game 7 in the ECF.

>>68982585
>>68982601
Ingram and a new head coach won't convert that team overnight. They'd be a 7-seed at best next season.
>>68982595
I was 10 in 2000, he was an insane scorer, great dribbling, but had to be paired with bigger PGs like Eric Snow and Aaron Mckey or whatever the hell his name was.

>>68982543
Jaylen Brown could very easily turn out to be the best player in the draft,he beat Jimmy Butler 1v1 and is only 19.Sorry you fell for all of the hype and clickbait about trades but before you call someone a dumb motherfucker you should look in the mirror
Dont worry Warriors fans
We gonna win the title next season as our team got gutted by ref ball with the suspension on Draymond Green and ejection on Curry.
LeCrab going to be 3-5 on 2017 then 3-6 at 2018.
They lucky Curry got injured early in the playoffs.

>>68982886
i reckon delly does when he comes to sydney
>>68984771
I was unemployed all of last season. I got up at 10am and then just sat on League Pass all day everyday. I wasn't very productive.
I got a job in the offseason though, thank (le)god
>>68984047
This. Anyone who watched the actual games in the Reg. Season knows this .Curry just wasn't the same guy after the Portland series.
Just keep posting the insults idiots, they're just going to fuel the Warriors next season.
>>68980997
The only unanimous MVP of course
>>68981002
You guys had a waaaaaaaaay worse loss than the clippers.
The clippers fucked u up the last playoff series they had with you. If they were healthy last year they would have beat your team easily, but even then you guys almost got cucked by lillard

James Harden is literally worse than Jr Smith
>>68980679
Anyone else feel like Harden basically took a year off this season? It's like he just saw that shit was gonna go badly for the team and he decided to just get his stats and fuck out entirely on defense/effort. I hope he sorts it out, can be a top 3 player literally just by trying on defense, he's got the ability.
>>68986218
Everything about the rockets is pretty cancerous and it doesn't help being stuck on a team with Dwight Howard.
why does everybody here hate Dwight Howard? he's a top 10 center all time and a first ballot hall of famer
>>68986263
>Howard
>Top 10 center of all time
Bull shit. He had the potential but pissed it all away with acting like a bitch.
>>68986287
tell me 10 centers better than him
>>68986263
Never bothered to improve his game and was, in his own words, "afraid to fail."
Sounds like a bitchmade person who was gifted all the talent in the world, and still cried about it.
>>68986263
>>68986287
He probably stopped caring about basketball upon being traded to Lakers like the situation with Melo.
>>68986263
Its half and half.
His effort is questionable and his injuries have definitely hindered his play but at the same time, playing with Kobe and then Harden isn't exactly easy either.
He doesn't deserve all the flak he gets but he doesn't any praise either.
>>68981506
They don't need him, they have a Whiteside-waiting-to-happen in John Henson
This nigga was 6th in blocked shots last season with 2bpg in 18 fucking minutes, ship Monroe and give this fucker the starting role holy shit
>>68986244
I just can't believe they let McHale go. Best thing about that team outside of Harden, you don't fire a top 5 coach after 2 weeks, you just don't do it. Watch them fuck out completely this season, as a Rockets fan I'm fully embracing the end
>>68986263
Dwight gets way too much shit. He should still be better than he is though
>>68986263
with a face like dat ion think u gna get one either
he's top 10 all time just for that

Howard will never be remembered as a 10 ten anything. He's the bitch baby who gives up on his teams, is cancer in the locker rooms, and would rather leave than put in the work to make a championship-tier team.
68986411

Distance is a factor because of the rigorous and (desu) poorly planned schedule.
I understand that arenas have to be booked years in advance along with TV schedules, but if the regular season schedule could be planned better to space out days off before games, there's a chance it might work.

WE GOT THIS
>>68992806
PER isn't too bad if you keep in mind that increased usage inflates it. Westbrook uses the ball much more than Curry, and so it makes sense his PER is higher.
>>68992806
Kill yourself cancer.
PER takes into account all facets of a players stats, offensively and defensively, and not just shooting ability.
i got kicked out of school, was arguing with muh teaching laady...she said id never amount to anything in my life...i got mad, i wasnt going to take it anymore...i stood up and told that teachin lady..."i onlyeez needs to know is 3 THINGS in this life maam... and thats "los, angeles, and lakers" then i air pump faked and said koobee!
>>68992892
BTC for life
>>68992965
>>68992988
Per doesn't really account for a per-possession basis, so yeah, players with higher usage rates get higher per stats even if they play less efficiently. Maybe the stat encompases more parts of basketball but I'd choose a player with a higher ts% over a player with a higher per, usually. Obviously there are other variables but that's just an example.
is the nba ready for the BIG DEVIL KING
>>68992965
They use the ball the same dummy. They're both the primary ball handlers, are on high pace teams that average more possessions per game. Curry is lower because he has more turnovers and less assists, also Westbrook rebounds more, including offensive rebounds.

It's what they did the last 3 games
Portland Trailblazers Iverson Backdoor
A lot of times off of an Iverson cut the ball simply goes to the wing. Allen Crabbe went off of the last screen and instead of popping out, he went right to the basket. If your team has an Iverson series, this is a good set to run to keep the defense on their toes.

You don't know what usage means, do you? Whenever Curry gets a hockey assist, it doesn't count as him "using it". Whereas on OKC, almost every possession ends in a Westbrook pass or shot, and he's one of the highest users in the league.
>>68994117
He gave up a 60mil contract last year so he would be worth more this off season. Because of that finals performance, he ain't worth shit anymore. He's not worth the max contract anymore, but he would've been if he had performed well.
>This coming from a warriors fan.
For how long, 3 months?
>>68994117
He's on a team with 3 amazing scorers, which means he gets more open looks than he normally would and has better stats than he should. This is combined with the fact that he was extremely hyped up when he was younger and that he's only 24. But then the finals exposed him as a mediocre player.

I can do it too. I'm not saying Curry is worse than Westbrook. I'm saying that it makes sense that Westbrook's PER is higher because his usage is higher, and I had to explain what usage means.
Should that be what usage means? That's not something I'm trying to answer.

Some people are expecting a james harden situation where he he moves to a different team and starts putting up elite numbers and stats with a bigger role. His finals performance has put some doubts though.
>>68994428
Besides the reasons I listed, front offices just tend to overvalue rotational players on great teams. In the NFL a bunch of teams were overpaying mediocre former Seahawks defensive backs because of "muh legion of boom."

I actually agree with you when you said

When you do good things on the court, it should count. But I'm not debating that point. I said what the meaning of usage in basketball statistics means. And I was correct.
>>68994981
all I need to know is that raptor fans wanted the feeling of being apart of something big and forced a broship with 2 relevant franchises. the raptors are the literal 3rd wheel to this, like that one kid who is always silent but he always pays for stuff and has a nice car so you bring him along anyways.

A fewgood roleplayers and starters on that list actually
>>68995828
oh I thought you were trying to say every year is more hyped up than the last one
>>68995496
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
2. Steven Adams
3. C.J. McCollum
4. Rudy Gobert
5. Nerlens Noel
6. Victor Oladipo
The 2013 draft isn't that weak, it just got most of its talent outside of the lottery. Greek Freak will be a top 5 player in the league in a few years, and Adams/McCollum/Gobert could all be All-Stars.
>talk about best centers all time

Lebron James or Michael Jordan?

its like googling Michael Jordan for the first time and you immediately claim you've watched him play for years.
>adams
literally on the same level as dellavedova. a meme player who had a good meme thing going for a few nationally televised games and nothing more. did anyone ever talk about him during the regular season? (no)
>>68996103
Yeah actually he is one of those solid roleplayers. Otto was solid last year, he has a great midrange jumper and his defense improved. He's still kind of mediocre but he's got good height and arm length and can shoot. Sounds like a solid rotation player to me
>>68996225
HEY FUCK YOU ADAMS IS A BEAST YOU FAGGOT YOU WISH HE WAS ON YOUR SHITTY TEAM
>>68996225
he was a starter for a team that performed well, take your memes and fuck your mother
>>68996101
How? Giannis alone makes it strong. You only get a superstar talent like that every few drafts.

>>68996482
He played good for a few nationally televised playoff games. So did Dellavedova. But for 95% of games no one gives a shit.
I LITERALLY saw nothing about Adams in these threads during the regular season.
How do I block trips again? I tried, but it's not working.
Reading T in BTC is painful.
>>68996523
*D-league championship
>>68996564
Nobody talked about Biyombo before the playoffs either.
People talk about them because they performed better in the playoffs, how hard is that to understand?
>>68996225
You are so casual and wrong that it physically hurt to read this. I'm not a fan of the Thunder but Adams is one of the best centers in the league, if not the best overall.
>Doesn't require the ball to be productive
>Best on-ball defender of any big man in the league
>One of the best big man passers in the league
>Great rim protection
>Great rebounding and put-backs
>Makes free throws
>Decent footwork and post-up player
>Super fast and athletic, never slows down the offense
He's like DeAndre Jordan if DeAndre Jordan actually had basketball fundamentals. If I could add any center in the league to my team it would be him.
>>68996523
That team would be sunk because McCollum is the only one that can shoot the meme shot.
>>68996601
get 4chan X and just make all trips anon.

>>68996664

So true. You forgot that fact that he's so young and has so much time to get better.
>>68996601
4chanx add-on has options
>>68996664
before you call someone casual and wrong, please keep your homer bias in your 7up filled basement. he isn't even a top 10 center. he isn't bad but holy fuck you think just because he gave the small ball warriors problems that he's a fucking GOAT.
>>68995581
i'll post whatever the fuck i want. try and stop me faggot.
listen ffs, Just cause they;re not talked about or the number one option doesnt mean they arent good...
dellavedova - shut down curry
adams - great enforcer center
brandon bass- good defensive forward
cj mccollum - great shooter
jordan clarkson year one in the league
these are the type of players you dont see on the stat sheet faggots, the hustle players, these are the players you NEED to win a title. wanna know why you never hear of them? cause faggots like curry and harden hog all the attention they dont deserve. Even durcant.

I always liked in-n-out burgers but recently I tried eating smegma and now I can't eat anything else, it's just that tasty.
centers better than adams:

jonas
al horford
plumlee
jefferson
howard
whiteside
jordan
kanter

then I guess you can put adams after that
Whitesides first visit will be with the team thats been recruiting him all season
>>68996970
Stroud, nigger
>>68996963
you're right but my point is, he's the type of player that does the little things, someone needs to box out, some one needs to pass the ball up the court, or to set picks. These players are what make the stars great. you hear it all the time on mvp speeches, or title speeches.

Kyle Korver.
He was almost 50/40/90 this year and is the most solid and consistent role player on earth.

I don't blame you for not watching the wizards but gortat was good last year and one of the best pnr players on both sides of the court.
>>68995496
Is there an organization on earth that's worst at drafting than the Cavs?
Oh wait, the Browns.

>>68997660
WOW cuban going full blown retard. Didnt he learn his lesson with DJ?

>blazers- 0 run rings
Holy fuck you're a casual
>>68997676
He somehow went from being the most overrated to one of the more underrated
Simmons will be pretty good but the Celtics, Suns, and maybe even Lakers fucked up hard by not drafting Dunn.

>The 1977 NBA World Championship Series was the championship round of the 1976–77 National Basketball Association (NBA) season. The Western Conference champion Portland Trail Blazers played against the Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia 76ers, with the 76ers holding home-court advantage. Their four regular season meetings had been split evenly, 2–2, with neither side winning away from home. The series was played under a best-of-seven format, so the first team to win four games would win the series and become the league champions.
a title over a million years ago against the shit 76ers
>broshits happening again
>>68997817
Being on the Hawks can do that.
Most underrated franchise as a whole as well.

He'll also get those FMVP each time and have the most of those. He stays with Cleveland dispels with the fiction that Cleveland isn't GOAT with a 6 peat.
