And silver still wants a to put an NBA team here? Stern knew better than to leave it alone.

Free my nigga doodoobug!!!! He dindu nuffun!!!!!

>>149102968 (OP)
worst finals in 100 years

t. nba executives

>>149102968 (OP)
Of the nba championship teams of the last 20 years, are these Pacers or Thunder teams better than any of them?

>>149103034
Better than the ‘24 Ltic*s by virtue of playing healthy completion

i heard OKC fans eat BBC for dinner

nba media and fans are so fucking weird. They make everything about the game worse. Can't wait for football to be back

>>149103075
Don’t you mean Jokic’s wife?

>>149103083
Oldheads are particularly bad because they refuse to give younger players the bare minimum respect unless youre an mvp level guy. If youre not top 5 they think you wouldnt make the bench in the 90s

>>149103103
nah Chet said his favorite meal is oxtail and bbc

>>149103123
That’s just a traditional Serbian meal

>>149103068
the thunder's path to the finals was easier than the inceltics and also worse cause they injured players on purpose

>>149103120
Oldheads have to talk down about the current era and convince others to do the same otherwise people will start wondering why it took until 2015-2017 for people to realize that 3 pointers are more efficient shots than long two's. Oldheads played an inefficient and outdated brand of basketball and can't accept that most of them wouldn't have been able to play in this era.

>>149103162
Fucking cowards should have picked harder teams to play against.

>>149103120
YNs refuse to accept that the game was more physical in the 90s and players like Curry wouldn’t have had the career they did

I love jdub :)

>no game tonight
ADAAAAAAAAAAM WHAT THE HECK

>>149103243
how retarded are you? they would have been swept in 7 if they didn't tackle and injure ja morant on purpose. they would have been swept in 7 if they didnt tackle and injure aaron gordon and westbrook on purpose. the celtics never injured anyone on purpose.

For me it's Nolan Traore

And this is why the 2016 ring is the best ring ever

Who was the biggest bust from last year?

hmm

>>149103516
Sheppard by draft position but Cody Williams by production with opportunity. He was like alltime bad

>>149103516
>The Kentucky guards didnt play any meaningful minutes

>>149103034
Modern players are infinitely more skilled than the boomers of 20 years ago.

>>149103594
Aside from Jokic and Embiid, Hakeem is more skilled than all other centers since

>>149103516
Saar was the worst player who played any kind of minutes and was drafted #2. 39% from the field from your #2 overall center is next level bad.

>>149103610
So in the last 5 years there's already 2 centers more skilled than Hakeem

>>149103544
makes you think

>>149103669
>The exceptions are the rule

>>149103691
Hakeem is the only exception of his entire era you mean.

skill is a meme. Shaq or Lebron don't need a billion moves to put the ball in the hoop

>>149103516
my nigga scheierman better than alot of these cats

>>149103752
why didnt jokitch just do that to carusso?

>>149103715
Yes, thats why hes considered one of the GOATs. are you ESL or retarded

>>149103584
why? stopped following regular season after the embiid injury

>>149103784
So your 1 exception doesn't prove that his generation was more talented than modern players.

>>149103752
letravel wishes he had shaq's footwork, maybe if you didnt cut the gif short you'd see shaq show off a ton of skill in this very play

>>149103790
Reed's game isn't as polished as you'd like and the Rockets had like 6 guards already combined with a coach that favors vets over giving rookies minutes, especially on a playoff caliber team.

Dillingham got regular backup minutes and was just ass.

>>149103673
Jimmy loves a bit of cucking

>>149103544
Crazy to think about a white woman that God damn pure with a black nigger like that

its insane that the pacers pretty much accepeted Shai will drop a 30 bomb every game

>>149104036
He's the most consistent scorer in the league. 31 point SGA is a meme for a reason. You can't let Godruso drop 20 on you though.

>>149104036
cant stop the best in the world

>>149104036
did you not watch them try to double?

>>149104036
SGA getting 30, even 40 isn't the problem. You just can't let dudes like Caruso and wiggins get 20

>>149103752
bro had to wait till hakeem, robinson, ewing and malone got old to do that.

>>149104117
The problem is when SGA gets his 50

>>149104036
His whole life is consistent.

>>149103034
Both of these teams would beat any of the championship teams since 2020. Bubble Lakers might beat OKC due to the height advantage, but they'd still probably lose to the Pacers

>>149103752
This is the god's honest truth.

Halibitch doesn’t deserve to win the Finals due to being inconsistent.

>>149104291
ok Stephen A

>>149104036
Weakmind

>>149104036
They have no one that can guard him, and are awful at playing zone that they can't even contain him like Denver and Minnesota is.

Its honestly incredible that the grizzlies were the team that did the best shutting him down. Edey, JJK, and Scottie Pippen Jr turned him into a chucker and destroyed his efficiency.

>>149104418
>JJK
Niggas really abbreviate every random roleplayer in the league, next time write that shit out full

>>149104418
gotta be honest i was expecting way more from aaron neismith

>>149104468
probably a typo for JJJ

>>149104485
well the thunder were just allowed to foul him

>>149104468
jujutsu kaisen, its good

>>149103083
same with football desu, does any sport exist where the fans and media aren't feminised?

>>149103516
Ryan Dunn.. that nigga been dead for like 15 years now. How'd he even get drafted

>>149104418
It’s insane how obvious it is that the Grizzlies had that series in the bag until Morant’s injury. OKC knew it too, which is why they dove at his knee.

>>149103752
>le Shaq has no skill meme cause he plays the character of big dumb oaf for money

>>149104544
he just answered your question: the NFL

>>149104539
>JJK
>good
Pajeet detected.

Just started watching the Starting 5 docuseries on Netflix.
And LeBron is even more obnoxious than I thought he’d be, decent leader though.
The only one who came off as outright stupid was Anthony Edwards

>>149104657
NFL has cringe fans too, thankfully not as simpy since a WNFL doesn't exist

>>149104468

>>149104681
nfl fans are just delusional which is a world of difference from the mental illness of nba fans. The discourse around the game is much better. I can't even imagine the nfl equivalent of aura, face of the league, ratings, or any of the inane shit that plagues nba conversations

>>149104748
So why doesn’t your faggot ass go post on nfl.com?

I had an "authentic" italian pizza in naples, i even asked locals about secret gems, and i waited forever and the pizza waa fucking trash. Mealanons dennys dinner mogs that garbage

Makin' floorsqueek lovers seethe

>>149104748
Fair enough I agree with that

>>149104792
im not taking culinary opinions from a german

>>149104748
From what ive seen nfl fans actually care about basketball. Nba is just goat debates, mens drama, the annual mvp race and maybe for 2 weeks people care about the playoffs but only when LeBron, Curry, Giannis, KD, Jokic or Luka participate. I have no idea how Silver got that tv deal done nobody is turning in for nba since 2020

>>149104724
Umm why?

>>149104792
>goes to naples
>doesn't ask for nipples
ngmi

>>149104748
>aura, face of the league
found the seething gaytum fan

>>149104862
Because they barely focus on saboner and focus more on his wife and his relationship, I like him but he's pussywhipped

>>149104855
People dont even tune in for anthony edwards or tatum thats how bad it is.

heard from a reliable source that shai fans take it up the bum

>>149104874
>face of the league
Valid
>aura
Zoomer nog tiktok speech

>>149104855
Nigga tried to sneak Luka and Jokic in there

bro the offseason is more alive than this finals has been. its officialy over

KEVIN DURANT WITH THE FACTS

Knicks fans are fucking retarded. They didn't want Thibs fired and don't want to trade for KD despite the East being wide open next year. They really are delusional

>>149105079
why doesnt he start a family instead of this shit

>>149105089
How do they trade for KD’s salary and retain their core that got them to the ECF? They also have no trade able picks and the shittiest young players ever

>>149105079
Durant lost this interaction

>>149105079
>the guy who hit me unprovoked is insecure
how does that make sense

>>149105079
KD knows as well as anyone the only thing that matters is rangz, that's why he jumped ship the first time

>>149105079
The problem that fans have with KD is that his accolades don't match his talent so they take it out on him on twitter. He's 7' tall and an elite scorer so fans think that he should be in the GOAT conversation but his career was too underwhelming. Sad!

>>149105159
They don't need to retain their core. Brunson, KD, OG, Robinson and bench scrubs would be good enough to make it to the finals next year.

All of the family men are equally pathetic social media addicts in the current year

>All of the family men are equally pathetic social media addicts in the current year
THIS is true

Looks like KD going to the Spurs.

>>149105228
Offering an unsolicited negative opinion about someone is literally how insecure works

>>149105468
The Dinner Nuggets

>>149105588
You can only be insecure about yourself, and critiquing others isn't a statement of you being insecure about yourself.

>>149105079
Durant types like a redditor

>>149105536
> "Hedge! Hedge! Go over the screen! This is coaching terrorism!".
This guy is not funny and his gimmicky breakdown of film is terrible.

>>149105383
Seems like lateral movement

>>149105741
Durant is definitely on reddit with multiple accounts arguing with people about himself

>>149105079
It burns him so much because he finally realizes that if he stayed in OKC and won a single ring his career would be a lot more respected.
>>149105119
He's turbo gay. I remember there was twitter screen caps of him and westbrick flirting online in like 2010.

>>149105742
Yes but Jokic is horrendous though

>>149105779
Heat: Rebuilding
Celtics: Have to shed salary to avoid massive tax bill
76er's: Always try and fail to stay healthy, Embiid and PG are washed
Bucks: Doc is trash, Kuzma is a trash 3rd option and Dame is out all of next year
Cavs: Regular season team, playoff chokers

The Knicks just have to make it past the Pacers, Magic and Piston's next year lol. trading for KD means no dumb fouls, slightly better defense and a closer that can get you bucket's when you need them. Trading for KD is the obvious move.

IM A PATHETIC KEKOLD

Durcant will go eat churros with Wetbanana in San Antonio

>>149106527
theyll mistake the churros for each others limbs

Not gonna lie, having each finals game so far apart has made me lose interest almost entirely. Other sports like baseball and hockey are also going on and not having basketball every day/every other day has shifted my focus away.

>>149106756
the finals are literally always like this. I swear people just make up shit to complain about

>>149103594
Too bad they're all such giant pussies

>>149104250
consistently gay
