>>149132018
there's a long way to go. indy stole home court in game 1, then did what they were supposed to in game 3. game 4 is when shit gets real.

>chet crying in his picture books while haliburton is nose deep in caitlin clark
kek

>>149132018
Why would we do that? Pacers are a good team so I wouldn't be mad about losing to them. The Thunder will only get better as Chet, Cason Wallace, and Dub improve, they get a second ball handler in Topic, and finally get rid of trash joe for a real shooter. OKC is only going to get better

>>149132064
She doesn't date blacks but nice try

As a knicks fan, im okay with either result at this point. We either lost to the champions which is not so bad, or the team that bounced us gets devastated and I get to laugh at them. Either way I have a narrative.

>>149132071
Poor little bawb

>>149132082

No one tapped in would watch Shai. The only people who watched this game are hardcore fans, old people on death's door glazed and watching whatever comes on and a few people from the respective cities. No one of influence is talking about this like they talked about Luka in the finals, for example.

so do the Thunder take a swing at Giannis then? or max out Jalen Williams and Chet first and then try to trade for someone else in 2 years?

>>149132008
he looks like book accurate Peter Pettigrew

>>149132074
The Knicks being a low hurdle for a real finals team is about as much joy as your cucked city will ever get so enjoy it.

>>149132091
twigman outmuscled Chokic

>>149131993 (OP)
do it for him.

Inshallah Shai will be beheaded

I told you guys before the series that Chet was gonna have a hard time. Myles may not be consistent offensively, but he's a vet and has lead the league in blocks multiple seasons (2019, 2021)..

>>149132100
One time they got to be a real low hurdle for a real champion

>>149132091
Chet is fine. He's playing about as well as a 2nd year player who missed half the season would be.

Jordan is the goat

>>149132074
How do you feel about your GM constantly asking teams to talk to their coaches like a whore trying to go after married men?

>>149132100
We’re going to the finals next season lil bro. The east is clear for us once we retool and get some depth. Plus we’ve gonna hire Malone as our coach.

>>149132065

Canadians really think about Jokic all day huh

LeBron James. The Greatest Man to ever play the game
Michoke Jorfraud. Never won nothing without Goatie Pippen...

>>149132091
this has to be edited
how doesn't he fit in his own fucking shoe????

>>149132056
Casual basketball fans are literally the lowest form of life. This series has been kino so far. Tonight was a great back and forth game.

never compare SGA to iverson again

>>149132133
It's all they ever post about, but that one schizo will reply every single time you say anything slightly positive about Jokic. He. is the most mentally ill person here

>>149132130
post wrists...

>>149132074
You guys fired your head coach without a replacement in mind. Now you're team is asking every head coach in the league if they're interested in coaching for them and being told to fuck off.

The sad thing is that with how weak the East will be next year the Knicks could easily make the finals if they trade for KD and hire someone like Vogel.

>>149132142
Yea, SGA plays Defense

>>149132125
Spurs only had to stop Lebron. It was quickly found out his teammates couldn't do jack shit when left wide open. Imagine 4 2016 Harrison Barnes as your teammates

Caruso will be stoned to death, alhamdulillah

i need a good size reference

Im not even that canadian, but you are definitely the most ill one here lmao

Haliban will be throwing Shai of a roof very soon...

>>149132156
SAAR!

>>149132116
A bit concerned because I assumed we already had Malone lined up before we fired Thibbs.
>>149132149
We don’t need KD, we need some depth. We can’t keep playing 6 deep.

>>149132156
You think and post about Jokic more than Serbia does. You're a mentally ill stinky pajeet and you aren't fooling anyone.

lmao, never forget your bum lost to dirk when he was the only one that had to be stopped...but somebody name terri outclassed somebody named james, whereas lebron couldnt even uplift a hughes that dropped 31 to save him in the playoffs.

were you even in diapers when iverson mvp?

Is this the most unpredictable winner in recent memory? Maybe the Raptors Championship but this one absolutely nobody saw coming when the playoffs started let alone at the beginning of the season

>>149132168
Pacers stole like 4 inbound passes this game. Sloppy effort by OKC.

>>149132185
nigga I hate lebron. I'm just saying the spurs gameplan was straight forward because it was so easy to stop the lebron and the cavs.

it's the finals that somehow gets less attention than say 2003. 2011 was so nice seeing him and the heat eat shit

>>149132179
Still a million times prettier than Angel Reese. That nigga looks like an offspring of an ape and Sid from Ice Age

Do you think we're as retarded as you? We see you sperg about Steph in the same threads you sperg about Jokic. We know you're a freak Indian.

Why the fuck do niggas like >>149132186 and >>149132217 always get mad and start insulting you when you call an average looking woman average? The point Im making is that he’s a millionaire celebrity so he can easily get some 10/10 if he wanted to and that he is not with her for looks. Hes with her because like I said, he loves her. But we got bum ass niggas getting all hurt and shit. Its so dumb. Happens so often too.

>>149132239
Low status jeets like jokic derangement jeet are low status dalits who can't get them. That's why so many of them are stuck in Canada seething about Serbian basketball players all day

If the thunder lose this series how likely is it they collapse internally? Being a "historic" team and losing to the pacers would buck break them

nigga just typed up an essay cause his girl broke up with him. the games all fucked up.

>t. stunlocked Abo that see's Indian's everywhere

>>149132248
They literally all have them. I don't know what the fuck a dalit is but even the ugliest, shortest, stupidest jeets all have wives who baby them and even speak for them since like 90% of them don't know any english outside of what they had to memorize to get into the country.

I'd have to see a replay up close/slow motion but that looked suspension worthy. Dude is a piece of shit. If this fucking team wins it's going to ruin summer and that's not an exaggeration

>>149132323

>>149132332
Hey jeet check the last thread instead of trying to pretend you aren't an obsessed schizophrenic subhuman. It's plain to see and everyone knows it's all you talk about. Multiple examples in this and the last thread of you sperging at random flags.

Preseason estimates only had them winning like 60 games, not accounting Chet or IHart getting injured.

ive found a potential path I can take in which I can execute my plan. SN

>>149122847
why did he run when it came?

>>149132342

He was clearly wobbled from it. You realize you don't need to actually KO someone for it to be considered suspension worthy, right?

>>149132344
>mentions in jokic in every other post

SGA will go down in history as being Russ, but zesty and not as entertaining or likeable

>He was clearly wobbled from it.
For like a minute lmao.
>You realize you don't need to actually KO someone for it to be considered suspension worthy, right?
Yeah no shit, you need to deliberately try to hurt someone, not just accidently hit them with an elbow.

why were celtics fans the only ones that gave my pacers any credit?

>>149132398
If the Nuggets had one other bench guy besides Westbrook they would have won, even with a bum MPJ

I've been entertained by the blogposter vs simp fight. Much better than jeets randomly bringing up Nikola Jokic

are the pacers winning or are the thunder losing?

>I-I DON'T NEED THERAPY!

>>149132415
Thats not even what the paragraph was about. I just said I get annoyed that when you call a woman average, some people come out of no where and do exactly what you’re doing right now.

>>149132398
they already lost 2

>>149132323
the stats are there but only nerds care about that
it lacks the narrative, a ring from the east matters less and the cavs were injured. If OKC wins a couple of rings like the Heatles, then it will be revaluated

>>149132353
there is nothing tough about winning against the eastern conference in 2025

>>149132179
there both 7s

>>149132404
So hitting somebody with an elbow that was stiff enough to wobble them for a whole minute (your words) isn't suspension worthy? LMAO. You realize pro boxers only get a standing eight count, right?

That elbow was deliberate, not at all a natural motion

>>149132441

>I get annoyed that when you call a woman average

>>149132441
Pacers are clutch and teams can't handle their pace for all 4 quarters. It has happened to every team they played this post-season so I will say it is just how they perform.

Im not posting a pic of my ex gf on 4chan. But she was average. Solid 6. Even so, what exactly does that have to do with my opinion on Halis girl?

It's pretty cringe when people call clearly attractive women average or ugly. Shit's corny. You can still hate them without lying to yourself

real schizo hours

>>149132457
>So hitting somebody with an elbow that was stiff enough to wobble them for a whole minute (your words) isn't suspension worthy?
Yes? Try looking up the kind of plays that actually get players suspended.
>That elbow was deliberate, not at all a natural motion
That's just your bias talking.

>>149132353
I mean beating the cavs and okc, two 60w teams is kinda insane

>>149132484
we are missing the 3 am eats from mealanon that consists of cinnamon toast crunch and ice cream

sga has literally no help its insane

sga is like the only player on the oklahoma city thunder who actually tries to score and do stuff. all the other guys just stand around or miss easy shots, so it feels like he’s carrying the whole team by himself. without anyone really stepping up, sga gets double teamed all the time and still somehow tries to win games but it’s super hard.

also the team just don’t have many good shooters or playmakers to help sga out. when he passes the ball to teammates, they either brick the shot or dribble like they don’t know what to do. this makes the offense really predictable and easy for other teams to stop. sga ends up having to create everything on his own cause no one else can make shots or get open.

finally the coaches don’t seem to have a good game plan that helps sga or the team. sometimes they just put random guys on the court who don’t fit well together. no solid bench to back up sga either so when he sits down the team totally falls apart. it’s like sga is the only one trying to play hard and win but no one else is there to back him up or make his job easier.

>>149132479
>Im not posting a pic of my ex gf on 4chan. But she was average. Solid 6.
we're just trying to gauge your opinion, because you seem to be hatin a lil bit

I think I miss weapschizo and bulgaria

>>149132495
Im not hating. From the very beginning I said I respect him for choosing a girl he loves instead of just getting a random 10/10. I just think she’s an average looking white woman. She’s certainly not ugly at all. Just… average. And you think thats hating. It says a lot about you guys

FUCK

>>149132464
When I saw Shai come into the game at the beginning of the 4th quarter, I knew it was over. He came in way too early. Hali didn't come back in until the 7 minute mark.

>>149132510
those were the days man. took it for granted. bulgaria doesnt even respond on the sharty anymore

williams and holmgren not ready for the moment

>>149132486
It's the same elbow that has resulted in suspensions for multiple different players, except Hali didn't have the opportunity to milk it because the refs missed it so it was live ball and there's, you know, an NBA Finals game ongoing. I speak for everyone when I say, a random elbow isn't part of a normal shooting motion

Pacers in 6

>>149132494
>t.

>It says a lot about you guys

>He must truly love her. Because he damn sure isn’t with her for looks.

SGA is winning his first ring and there’s nothing you can do about it.

>>149132524
>It's the same elbow that has resulted in suspensions for multiple different players
Why not name some examples then? And don't say Ron Artest or I won't take you seriously.

I think okc is just getting outcoached. Don't like those rotations

>>149132432
Kinda agree, the Grizzlies are also somewhat exempted because they were figuring them out until Silver made the call and Dort killed Ja.

Meant the whole series.

i don’t date solely off looks. if you s do that after 25 you’re retarded. you can have a bad bitch who is a fucking nightmare or you can find yourself a good 7 who’s a good person and who you get along with an actually enjoy loving with

>>149132594
Kobe's was far less flagrant, he simply put his forearm up to brace himself for contact and Miller crashed into his elbow. Sure it was a bit stiff but not nearly as flagrant as Dort's, and that received a 2 game suspension. I suggest watching the Dort replay again, sincerely this time, because I can't tell if you're trolling or just slow. He went to shoot and when he realized Hali was going to block it, he bailed and then threw a blatant elbow to Hali who was at his 5'clock (literally zero reason to do this motion) and then sprinted for a cut. It was an obvious deliberate elbow. If you watch the replay and can't see that then it's ok, you're just an idiot, and these things happen. Not everybody has an eye for the game

it's too much

Imagine if jokic had this bench. Wait he did and won a ring and kind of raped everyone except the suns

>>149132601
exactly, foster has reffed 3 games in these playoffs and they were all blowouts for okc, we need him.

>>149132636
is he an allah o akbah

>>149132634
>a good 7
You're delusional. Only the top 10% of men get 7's

>>149132635
>Kobe's was far less flagrant
Stopped reading here. You're obviously just biased and aren't willing to look at things objectively due to your dislike of the Thunder and Dort. I'm just glad the refs have a better "eye for the game" than you do lol.

>>149132291
Ah yes the #1 seed was an unexpected champ

alright, which one of you made this

wouldnt the last unlikely winners was my dubbies

>>149132646
tf lol you have let red pill/mgtow/doomer mentality fry your brain. anyone can get a 7 or even an 8. its not nearly as improbable as you think it is

INCOMING SCOTT FOSTER FOR GAME 4. Id bet millions on it

if hali gets a ring, who does he instantly clear?

>>149132650
>Stopped reading here
Sure you did, because I dismantled your argument and you didn't like that part. We all hate when that happens

>I'm just glad the refs have a better "eye for the game" than you do lol
Apparently not because it was clearly missed by the refs altogether, ergo not even a common foul being called. Even you (hopefully I'm not giving you too much credit) would agree elbowing someone in the face is at least common foul worthy

When, and not if, the Pacers win the championship, I'm going to be ranking this run no less than a top 3 ring of all time :)

>>149132635
Dort is a smarter Draymond.

>>149132050
I swear Shai would get a season injury with all the flopping he does.

>>149132683
Nah Draygoat is the god of BBall IQ. He’s the smartest defender of all time.

>>149132682
And the other 2 would be?
Would one of them be Mavs or Raptors?

>>149132674
Probably not any major vets, but stands head and shoulders above the new cope "face of the league" candidates in Ant, Ja, etc.

Beating this OKC team to win a ring would obviously clear anything Dame has ever done but could you place Hali higher all-time because of it? Not for me, but some of the more rangz-inclined fans might

>>149132683
You mean a lesser chimp but still one on the same

>>149132677
>Sure you did, because I dismantled your argument and you didn't like that part. We all hate when that happens
Nah, you just started some dumbass shit like "less flagrant" when Kobe LITERALY ran through Mike Miller purposefully. You biased and incapable of viewing things objectively.
>Even you (hopefully I'm not giving you too much credit) would agree elbowing someone in the face is at least common foul worthy
It happens literally all the time away from the ball and is never called, especially from bigs to shorter players. Do you actually watch basketball?

>>149132689
mavs and repeat rockets if i had to guess

>>149132668
I mean if I look like Chris Evans, then sure, but I don't. I have andrew tate's jawline (basically no jawline at all), small eyes, and terrible facial hair (like just a bit of mustache and beard, but not enough to have a nice masculine facial hair).

So no, i won't get any pretty girls as my gf, and I've been long at peace with that fact. I'll just live my life as it is

>>149132408
Russ can take a won or lost game completely off the rails as a star or role player.

>>149132668
It's reality retard. I'm in a long term relationship so it's not even like I have any stakes in this. It's simple reality.

>>149132683
Absolutely not lol

How tf did they lose game 2

>>149132688
Dort is smarter about committing dirty tactics. Draymond is exceptional about defensive multitasking.

>>149132694
You either didn't rewatch the Dort clip like I suggested you to (best case scenario for your IQ), or you did and thus confirmed you're an idiot. Either way you have no leg to stand on

Dort's was a windup elbow whereas that hilariously irrelevant Jokic clip is the elbow grazing straight on. You have zero combat experience or knowledge if you can't discern between the power generated between the two (spoiler, winding up and swinging an elbow, especially to someone behind/to the side of you who can't see it coming, is for more dangerous). Now I know for a fact I would HEEM you irl just as I have HEEM'd your feeble arguments LOL

any good okc fan meltdowns?

This guy smells like actual shit

>>149132702

>>149132689
Rockets

>>149132708
no, it’s not reality. im an average guy and the highest I’ve ever been with is a girl who looks like meg the stallion. so anywhere from a 7 to 9 depending on who you ask. its mostly luck. sometimes a really hot girl will just like you. but again theres so much more to a successful relationship than looks anyway so really this whole conversation is pointless.
>>149132702
your mentality is flawed but Im glad you’re with someone who you love. thats all that matters.

Holy shit they’re actually down 2-1 to the fucking PACERS

>>149132742
How tall are you?

>>149132750
The Pacers are looking great. But sadly they still lose in 6. Sorry anon

Tyrese was on adderall tonight LOL is that a banned substance

>>149132750
When you see how many teams won their first titles and ended trophy droughts in soccer this year it feels inevitable that the Pacers are winning their first ever title

>tfw I always had faith in carlisle
aektf?

They really thought the Pacers were just gonna be happy to be here. They really thought they would roll over in 4 or 5. They want to deny destiny.

>>149132646
>Only the top 10% of men get 7's
there's 4 billion men. 10% is 400mil. in an even distribution using a decimel system, the total of 7/10s would be represented as 1/10 of the population (1 of each N/10), or 400mil women. this is an elaborate way to state that you are retarded.

>>149132737

>>149132742
I'm single lol, but I'm content with my life

>>149132768
70% of women share that 10% of men. The rest the the men just hang around to clean up and fund roastie retirements.

>>149132767

oh misread. well yeah thats all that matters. happy for you brother

>>149132786
that mathematically doesnt make any sense lmfao you guys just make up statistics to feed your doomerism

>>149132786
Meanwhile, it's the reverse in the nba. All the niggas just taking turns to cum into the same 5-8 vaginas. Like some players share the same baby moma it's crazy

>>149132786
are the other 30% of women shared amongst the other 90% of men? i think we need an illustration, maybe a scatter plot, to explain your point.

I enjoyed watching the highlights. Pacers made some good steals and had high accuracy. Thunder looked sloppy at times. Fair result.

Is no one else excited for the Jordan 40s ? I hope they’re good because the Jordan 39s were inferior to the 38

>>149132786
They hate to see it.

Yup yup, you're biased like I thought and don't know ball. Thank god we have proper refs and not retards like you LOL

Are the finals over yet. I'm ready for the draft and off-season.

Give the pacers the chip already and start the new season in july

>>149132820
What are the biggest potential transfers? Giannis and KD?

>>149132820
no. game 4 on friday. if the pacers win you can safely say they win the series. if okc wins were probably going to game 7 which will be on the 22nd

>>149132802
Women's nature is to compete for the highest caliber mate they can attain. They're going to act on their instincts before and after they meet you. Rationalize that however you like.

I hope 30% of women respect boundaries, but I think that's hopeful.

>>149132826
>What are the biggest potential transfers
Have no idea. But my team (spurs) is fundamentally broken with no forwards and zero backup centers. They've been linked to KD a lot, but even if they do trade for him, they need at least 2 to 3 new roleplayers to balance out the roster. Whole roster is finally about to get an overhaul.

How would the nuggets have done vs the pacies? I'm assuming if they even got past the wolves porter would be dead and Jokics legs would be mush from overuse

>>149132833
Oh yeah currys wife knew when they were teenagers that he’d be one of the best hoopers if all time and make a billion dollars

>>149132836
Badly esp with Gordon on one leg. Surprised they made it past the Clippers desu

>>149132838
I mean you can't go into next season with Biyombo as your backup center in 2025. Only reason it happened last year was because they had to sign somebody on the fly because Zach Collins is literally the worst player in the entire NBA. Spurs have tons of assets they can and need to use, because the roster as constructed isn't functional. Not even the Sons would roll out the roster we have next season.

>>149132836
Pacers have 50 wins so the answer is obvious

>>149132848
I forgot about Gordon's leg. Probably for the best they went out after that desu gordon could've fucked his hammy up badly if he was still playing.
>surprised they made it past the Clippers
Series was finished as soon as kawhi stopped being 2019 kawhi and harden went to game 7 lol

>>149132826
Pretty much. Giannis claims he's happy in Milwaukee, but we'll see if he really is happy winning 40 games with bums like Kuzma as his 2nd best player.

Role players will decide next season favorites. Depth matters more than ever thanks to 2nd apron avoidance

>>149132863
So did the clippers

how we feeling about next season currychads?

>>149132921
So there are basically states like Indiana that are 90%+ white and some states like Hawaii that are like 20%? America is interesting

>>149132833
KD will be expensive and probably not very useful given his age.
>>149132870
Hope Giannis moves to GSW. They don’t have a strong team for the next season.

OKC too soft

>>149132944
Most of America outside of the coasts is like Indiana. Coasts have prob 70% whites on average. Hawaii is it’s own thing.

My NBA super team:

Jokic
Halliburton
Giannis
Tatum
Curry

>>149132951
When I went to Hawaii I found a bag of meth on the ground and several full cigarette packs like it was borderlands loot

I think pacers in 5 lads unless scott foster rigs another 40 pt blowout which i think wont happen cause even silver isnt that dumb to allow that on national television

>>149133048
He gave Flagg to the Mavs, saved the Spurs and the Sixers, and punished the tanking teams. He absolutely thinks NBA fans are morons (and he’s correct). Foster will be reffing the next game.

>>149132366
>only had them winning like 60 games
aka had them as one of them best teams in the league

why are people chimping that the knicks fired their coach who overplayed the starters? they couldn't even get little offensive shit right. like they'd have brunson carry the ball up the court for an iso while he got hounded and lost energy.

>>149133139
Because it turns out we didn’t have a fucking replacement lined up. I thought we were going with Malone

>Actually, for a second, believe they have a team that's better without Kevin fucking Durant
>Seriously believe FTA, Chet Homeless, and J-Dud can take them to the holy land
>Lose in the finals to the fucking Pacers

It's that time. Chokelahoma and every inbred in that city needs to finally admit defeat. OKC needs KD more than he needs them. Trade Chet for the greatest scorer of all time and speedrun to the 2026 finals and finally win it all. Realize this legend is the greatest thing that ever happened to that stolen team. And the slip reaper will always be the greatest Thunder player of all time.

>>149133203
Why the fuck is the team in oklahoma city? Kd is totally seattle coded

>>149133244
In another world, KD would have retired with 4 rings and stayed a Sonic for his entire career. He had loyalty to Seattle, not OKC.

>>149132917
Could spurs and Blazers replace two of this year's playoff-playin teams?
Well yeah, Mavericks are likely done.

>>149133265
Nah it'd 100% be the Kings getting booted. Spurs are due for a breakout depending on what they do this off-season. Blazers will be in the play-in race but may finish an 11th seed if they aren't lucky. I see the grizz falling off. Mavs will be good though. They still have a good team.

The entire pacers team is just a bunch of gigantic tall giganiggas and one small white dude. This is a godly roster and it’s weird no other team has tried this aside from Denver kinda for one season.

>>149133299
Pacers is a team of nothing but 85 overalls with two 88 overalls sprinkled in.

>>149133284
Their main playmaker is Dinwiddie and you hope an AD who has to be the man also stays healthy.
Feels very fragile in so many ways.
But yeah, Kings are also a schizo team

Was watching some Kobe highlights. There are zero players in the NBA right now who’re as good and complete as him.
Viewership is gonna keep dropping if the execs don’t do something to find a new generational superstar. LeBron and Curry don’t cut it anymore

Muggsy bogues really has given hope to millions upon millions of <5'7 men they could play basketball professionally LMAO

>>149133363
Bro was a 32% 3 point shooter.

>>149133385
So what? He could reliably play in almost any position.

>>149133395
Kobe would die at center

>>149133395
>Shooting guard who can't shoot
If you give me the ball every possession in an NBA game, I'm getting 30 a night too. He was also a shot chucker, who took some of the worst shots of all time. And no, he didn't make them nearly as much as people try to act like. You always wanted that dude with the ball if you're the other team. Cause you knew he was about to shoot some dumb shit

>he actually bandwagoned lebron when he was up 2-1 in the 2015 NBA finals

LMAO!

>>149133406

>>149133411
And he racked up the points despite all that showmanship. What current player would you endorse over Kobe? There are none

>>149133495

I'm not even confident in saying Kobe is better than Haliburton.

sports niggas love saying the word "generational"

>>149132224
Truman show vibes

>>149133625
Ok fair point, modern players are better than older ones due to tactical and physical advancements.
No current player captivates the audiences like Kobe though.
>>149133678
I don’t use that word lightly. It’s reserved for fewer than 10 players.

Does having a small dick motivate them to be stars or is it just coincidental

>>149133741

Not in a million years we won't. This team has been down in the Nuggets series but guess who still won? Thunder in 6 and if this goes to 7 games, we taking the Larry home.

This is the beginning of the new Thunder dynasty not 1 not 2 not 3 not 4 not 5 not 6 not 7 chips

feel like the pacers figured some things out with nembyhard guarding SGA

sadly for them for some reason Nesmith cant stay in front of Jalen Williams, was sad to see desu

But I dont think Jdub will have another elite performance like he did yesterday. okc should be really fucking worried

PACEGODS in 5. I already said OKC used up the 1 win quota per series when they won by a bazillion points and that was the only game they were gonna win. Maybe if the Pacers feel generous and decide to throw game 5 so that they can win at home then it's still PACEGODS CHAMPIONS :)

okc in 6

>>149135634
Nesmith and Nembhard got some questionable foul calls against them which meant limited minutes in the first half, still the fact that they held SGA to <25 pts bodes well for the Pacers

i can see pacers winning so OKC gets durant for the revenge tour then both teams get a ring

The NBA bred a fan base of retards by infusing it with early 00s hip-hop culture and making it star driven. It was a mistake at the time and it's why Stern tried to curtail a lot of that shit by enforcing dress codes and what have you. It was good for selling shoes to black kids at a huge markup, but not good for the actual x's and o's of the game.

Just look at how football is covered. It's all about breaking down strategy and stats, etc. Look at how basketball is covered. It's all about "muh face of the league".

Let’s be honest, the only people complaining about “how the league is covered” are white boys mad we’d rather watch Ja Morant dunk or listen to Anthony Edwards talk shit than read another article on a new statistic that shows how much Jokic impacts a regular season game offensively

If OKC lose this Finals Jokic will have lost two years in a row to teams that weren’t even good enough to win a championship

>>149136432
What strategy is there in basketball besides chucking 3s and getting as many fouls as possible?

>reality: Denver would be a lottery team without Jokic
>racists: hurr Jokic lost

>>149136718
>hospital cavs
Darius Garland toe injury ain't no asterisk, bro.

>>149136871
He wants niggas to talk about how teams need to go under/over screens for a half hour on SportsCenter

yup yup yup

>>149136897
also adding one, gray is my favorite color and my feet are quite large + I do not spend more than 100 bucks on shoes so im happy I was able to get a pair.

>>149136871
You think that's what basketball is because you only watch LeBron and Curry, thus further validating my original point. Absolute dumbest fanbase of any sport, hands down.

>>149136568
them jokic fans are not real, they just yap on and on about his stats and then cry for more help when he loses lmao

>>149136894
Funny how that kind of coverage works for every other sport in which the main demographic target is not... well... you know.

nice

>>149136952
I'll say it: stupid caucasians. NFL is covering for the galaxy brained Aftican Americans so of course the analysis is more in-depth and nuamced. If it weren't, they'd lose their viewership.

>>149136897
big ahh feet

>>149136927
Fair point, I need to start watching more matches then. Any videos you’d recommend to improve my BB IQ?>>149136897
Any specific reason you went for these?

>>149136971
thanks
>>149136997
I actually wear a 16 but i rarely find a good pair so I take the L and wear a 14. growing up people always used to comment on my feet. was walking to class and my gym teacher screamed "everyone take a look at anons big feet" the entire hallway looked.

>Any specific reason you went for these?
I needed to find a pair of basketball shoes that were size 14, under 100 bucks and gray or black.

>>149136952
It was really peculiar that the only player who understood how the in season tournament worked in the Starting 5 series was Sabonis

>>149136996
This, most NFL fans are former players at the very least Pop Warner distinction. In depth analysis isn’t lost on these black athletes who are familiar with most of the plays being called.
It’s the white boys who watch NBA and can’t dribble without it going off their foot that drive the dumbing down of the conversation around the game.

>>149136891
don't think it's an asterisk as every ring is dictated by fitness and luck above all

the cavs were very unlucky since garland, mobley, hunter were injured
even mitch got injured during the series

What the hellyante

We are going to begin a dialogue

I think black men look better than white men when sweaty

>>149137278
i have, and im talking about online shit

haliburton's girlfriend is a 9 or 10. i'll just say it first. if 1/10 of women are rated 10, i can see her rated in the top 10%. she's out of my reach and i'm not saying this because i want her to be my girlfriend, but she's a 10

we literally had a 4+ hour debate about this last night kek

How do I get a WNBA gf?

It’s not a uniform distribution bro…

>>149137180
i know we all love ethical hoops but this is a major flaw in his game, your star player being unable to draw fts is insane

bubble + the spurs. not bron fault

>>149137445
>bubble
you mean where everyone was at their homes staying in and watching tv?

>>149137474
yeah to me it never made any sense why the bubble had such terrible ratings

if anything it shouldve been the biggest in years, there was literally nothing to do

>>149137445
this
Literally the 2016 finals was the most watched finals of the last 20 years due to LeGOAT's AVRA and its not even close. If Lebron was in this years finals its going to be 20milly at least

>>149137541
Lakers vs Knicks was the Finals fans deserved, LeBron getting #5 in Madison Square Garden and passing the torch to Luka would have been the logical conclusion to the NBA

hartestein been absolutely terrible offensively specially late game situations

his lil floaters been non existent and hes super sloppy with the ball in his hands

>>149137585
Shai sissies, our response!?!?

shartenstein is not him frfr

>>149137579
it will happen next year. Just give lakers #2 option Luka a training camp and we'll be 74-8 next season on our way to a 16-0 chip something jorfail cant do because he loses so much

>>149133118
no chance, haliGOAT is faithful to his girl
