news- thunder take game 5 and lead 3-2

previous >>149224669

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (12) has surpassed Michael Jordan (11) and LeBron James (11) to become the player with the most 30+ PTS and 5+ AST games in a single Playoff run in NBA history.

>>149243822
what's it look like when adjusted for pace?

>>149243813 (OP)
Gaycers suck

Thunder up.

>>149243822
Are shai fans becoming the next bronsexuals?

>>149243822
this nigga has some insane stats

>>149243822
Shai zesty with that birthmark on his face, looks like he's got a perpetual black eye

>>149243822
leafs movin differently

Haliburton “””””fans””””” who only somehow magically came into existence in May 2025 are awfully silent right now hmmmmmmmmmmm

>>149243822
FTA stays winning! Prime Harden? MVP Embiid? Amateurs... this is real basketball here folks. FTA! FTA! FTA!

Turns out the players were correct

If Haliburton had the same whistle as FTA he would've had 20 points this game and the W

>Canadians are so cucked they have to root for an individual player on an American team

>>149243865
>hali still more likable than sga when you're not allowed to consider stats

If the thunder win what are the odds they repeat

One of the most rigged games I've ever seen. I'm sure a seasoned veteran coach would bench the guy that led a huge comeback to almost tie the game to play a guy that has 0 FG and is also clearly injured so bad he had to go checked in the back in the most important quarter. Absolute scripted league like the WWE.

Who's ready for the inevitable 'THEY DIDNT BELIEVE IN US' attitude from OKC after being gifted the Finals?

>>149243900
they will 3peat at minimum

>>149243891
You ain't saying shit when Serbs, Frogs, and Luka country people do the same

>>149243900
they're the same team next year, but with more confidence. 73-9 in danger. and i hate the thunder.

>>149243900
They're going to be the exact same team but better next year. Only thing to worry about is if Caruso starts dropping off a bit due to age

what if sga and jdub really are nu-mj/pippen?

siakam cant win with these cats

>>149243900
If they run into Denver they won't, Chet is a wicker fence Jokic opens and closes at will like a horse stable

>>149243939
No Lowry and FVV going nuclear to save him this time

I haven’t been watching. Is there a chance of pacers come back?

>>149243947
My favorite version of Lowry was on that finals Heat team a couple years ago actually.

>>149243944
Jokic's team will somehow be even worse next year, they still don't have a gm and the draft is in 10 days

>>149243920
I can see them winning next year, but maybe not 2027 since Chet and JDub need to get paid

>>149243891
euro bawbs do the same exact thing

>>149243922
Canadians have an NBA franchise

>>149243911
Shut up pussy

>>149243944
Jokic just had the worst series of his career against them. They only won as many games as they did because OKC didn't learn how to bust a zone until 4 games in

>>149243970
euros don't have an NBA franchise, all they have is players. Canadians have a team, but act like they don't when a zesty mannequin flops his way through the post season.

>>149243974
They took them to 4 because the bench actually stepped up for once and braun guarded sga well

>>149243950
pacers lost their best player, 5% chance of pacers comeback

>>149243944
Denver just lost Westbrook and they're not getting anyone better at the vet min. They're going to be so much worse than this year somehow.

>>149243971
we like a nigga from our country being the best player in the league, you just mad LMFAO

>>149243987
shai is the most recognizable canadian in sports thats active. they have the right to root for him.

>>149243973
you know it to be true, they act like nobody likes them after being given all the breaks, it's loser shit

>>149243967
They only need to keep Jdub, chet can easily be replaced by drafting another big

>>149243992
Fuck. Sga is evil, will suck to see him win

>>149243950
They went from being down 14 at halftime to being down 2 (93-95) with 8:30 minutes left in the 4th
The Pacers then proceeded to turn the ball over 5 straight times and let the lead grow back to 13 killing their comeback
It was an all time choke from Haliburton and Nembhard who have been so dominant these playoffs at passing the ball for open shots

There's always a chance to keep it close but it starts with winning Game 6 by at least 20. If Indiana blows a lead at any point in a quarter beyond the 1st, it's over. I really doubt they'd have the mental strength to fight back after that, and I'm a diehard Pacers fan.

>>149243991
>and braun guarded sga well
He did not. Any time they went back to man, he was getting cooked. Russ did the best job on him, but even he wasn't that great. Nembhards done the best by far this playoffs, followed by Siakam, NAW, and Scotty Pippen Jr

Imagine being forced to root for Gay Gilgeous Alexander...

>>149244020
he's legitimately good, but he's carried by the refs on top, so it's hard to overcome the double whammy

>>149244033
He had multiple awful games when braun was on him compared to other series

>>149243900
Next season OKC is going to have to deal with the Lakers with Luka in top form and after they find a good center, GSW will have Jimmy the whole season, Mavs with Flagg, AD, Kyrie and Lively now being 7'5" and Denver after whatever moves they make in the off season. OKC is going to have to bring in some new talent or they won't have a chance of making it out of the west.

>rick, if you play mcconnel and toppin a second over 22 minutes I will end your wife and kids

feel bad for the niggas who bought a ps5 kek

>>149244046
>Next season OKC is going to have to deal with the Lakers with Luka
stopped reading right there, ant owns him

>>149244021
Those stupid turnovers by Hali and Nembhard made my blood boil. 2 pts away from tying the game, and you chose to make a risky pass instead of passing it to the open corner guy. Nembhard should just stick to defending sga and shoot 3s

>>149244048
>18 pts in 22 min
let him cook

>>149244066
Ant doesn't own anyone anymore wolves are trash

>>149243922
>and Luka country people

>SGA haters and pacerfags gonna cry about halibitchton getting injured like inceltroonfags crying about Tabum getting injured
Lmaoooooooooooo

>>149244043
Because of the zone, not because of Braun.

>>149243900
low, this year was their best shot, they aren't this dominant steamroller the media makes them out to be

>>149244058
>scalped to all hell on release
>exclusives ported to pc within a year of launch
>barely anything different from the ps4
I'm not lmao glad I don't have the money to waste on pointless shit like that

>>149244069
haliburton is in his head because he's consumed by his own injury, you gotta take him out of the game

>>149244077
Yeah you're right nobody could guard precious king shai let me kiss my picture of him on the wall now

>>149244076
i liked you better when you posted slice of life pics rather than hot takes

>>149244073
> [Team] is trash
> [Team] rapes Luka BAWBic

What does that make luka?

>>149244076
If FTA got injured Thunderfags would instantly jump on the asterisk ring excuse, sybau

>>149244098
I just named like 5 that have guarded him well retard. Scotty Pippen Jr had him shooting below 40% from the field for 3 games straight, without needing zone or Box and 1 to slow him down.

>>149244113
The Lakers didn't have a center retard lmao. rudy gobert looked like an offensive powerhouse against them

how the hell did Denver take this OKC team to 7?

someone let me know why the thunder didnt win it all last year

>>149244127
>flashbacks to rudy legacy game

>>149244073
right and luka eliminated AE in the WCF last season in a series which wasn't even all that close

>>149244131
if Calvin booth wasnt a terroist denver would be staring at a three peat.

>>149244131
OKC sucks

>>149244088
I feel like it's more because of Dort. He's been really passive every time Dort is on him. He'd just pass the ball to someone else and stand at the wing.

siakam is NOT a first option player lmao.

>>149244138
No Hartenstein
No Caruso
Giddey minutes
Lights were too bright for Chet and Dub

>>149244131
Denver's starting lineup is elite and they got 1 bench rando game. Their general problem is they only had 6.5 playoff guys and that depends on the Westbrick volatility. They can play with anybody until they run out of gas or get too banged up. It really can't be overstated how badly their gm fucked them over

>>149244138
>>149244152

>>149244146
It's unironically over for Denver unless that injured rookie center they have turns out to be the next mj. They got no one to sign and a bunch of low iq bench players

>>149244138
Luka and Kyrie can shoot the goddamn lights out, who knew

>>149244158
so SGA is nothing without BAWBs

>>149244105
What of what pics

>>149244176
Lively cooked em that series and worked with luka super well if he were consistently healthy mavs would be way scarier

>>149244158
>Giddey minutes
Are you saying Giddey was holding them back? He's been good for the Bulce

if the Pacers had Jokic they'd have swept the Thunder already. Myles Turner you're ass buddy.

>>149244212
Getting caruso and his hacking without fouskill is better than giddey

>>149244138
pj washington made sgfaggot his bitch

>>149244212
if you haven't noticed playoff basketball is very different from regular season basketball

>>149244212
Giddey needs to be the primary ball handler. He was just a poor fit with Shai.

>>149244183
He also made a stupid foul on PJ which cost them the game

why cant I post images on my laptop but it works just fine on my phone. fix your damn site

its so over for bawbs man, they melt down after every okc win looool

>>149244253
Only men allowed to post in this server kiddo.

>GM? We don't need no GM where we're going

https://x.com/BricksCenter/status/1934803169151996076
What the fuck?

>>149244077
it was because of braun.

yup yup yup

>>149244303
This coach looks like one of my bosses at work, I want to kill him so bad...

>>149244286
The irritating part about sga is he is a good player he doesn't need to flop like a faggot

Jalen Williams has zero hint of ebonics in his voice and his isn't even some rich kid who had a dad who played in the NBA.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj6bIeQPa5U
How does an American negro become Carlton Banks without coming from a rich family?

>>149244332
He was an army kid not a hood.

>>149244326
if he was good, he wouldn't be flopping

>>149244354
He does it because the league allows it and gives him a good whistle

NBA finals? More like NPC finals amirite

Looks like we'll be having another * ring

>>149243901
he also cleared the bench with 2 minutes left in a finals game in a <15 pt game... like the pacers haven't done insane comebacks in the last minutes every series. it's so fake.

>>149244354
Didn't stop KD from popularizing the rip through

>>149244286
his game is quite literally based on flopping as much as possible to squeak out an extra 8-10 pts per game

>>149244386
I always think he's gonna eventually hurt himself but he must not be reaching terminal velocity like embiid did to cripple himself

>>149244155
>connection error
still can't upload files, sorry, i'd show you

>>149244386
>as much as possible
Not even close. He isn't even at Luka or Embiid levels yet

>>149244393
every image and video is perpetually loading for me, i wonder if thats the same issue for you

>>149244367
Right, but that only means that flopping is part of being a good player. If flopping is going to get your team extra points then you're letting your team down if you don't do it.
Real competitors flop, team players flop. The people who don't flop are self centered special snowflake faggots who for whatever reason presume that they're "too good" to need to use every means of scoring.
If the league thinks flopping is bad for the game then they'll have to change something about the officiating

>>149244367
excuses excuses
dudes a bum who can't play better so he has to game the system to get an edge, not worthy of praise just a grim reality

>>149244401
been a few hours since i could upload files.

>>149244402
The league tried to call flopping for about 2 weeks years ago and gave up

>>149244401
why are you replying to deleted posts?

>>149244378
That's more pathetic than anything SGA has ever done. SGA doesn't even flop actually. He draw fouls. There's a difference.

>>149244412
>the cleverness of a pakistani

>>149244409
seems mostly Americans can't upload files. Maybe it's an ISP thing or 4chan has image servers in the US that died?

>>149244419
holy mental gymnastics, dudes a flopper, I'm seeing the narrative shift before my very eyes

I'm hoping the Pacers can force a game 7.

Silver says he wants 7 games

>>149244419
>SGA doesn't even flop actually.
Nigga?

>>149244411
I saw a few flopping techs this season, but no fundamental change in the way the refs call fouls. If they stop calling flops then it only means that harder fouling will come back into the game and every team will turn into the bad boy pistons. they don't have 10 refs to watch every player constantly

>>149244419
it's not pathetic at all. he didn't have the ball. he fell down to catch his breath. it's called basketball iq. he wasn't maliciously getting free free throws like SGA intentionally does.

>>149244419
bawbs hated this one

>>149244442
He was getting bitten by ANT's DAWG Aura here

>>149244419
incredible bait, bravo

>>149244437
Dam, is this why you niggas are simping for this chick?
Grim,

>>149244429
>>149244460
i understand that you guys are new to basketball. go look up "you reach, i teach". that is sgas game. flopping is something totally different.

>>149244481
SGA be like: "You play, I flop."

>>149244427
No, I'm having the same issue as well. I think it's a server thing

>>149244481
>go look up "you reach, i teach".
what does a michael jordan gatorade ad have to do with the refs infatuation with sga?

>>149244504
the disease is spreading! i would like to post an image on my imageboard tho

>>149244409
No wonder there is less BLACKED spam.

>>149244534
I'm getting errors too but if I just press post again it'll do it. Must be something to do with from where you are connecting idk

>>149244525
that mantra by MJ has been used to describe situations where a player reaches in you rise up to your fadeaway. you get a foul because while they're reaching you create contact

yep

and then these fuckin "canadians" come through to post their afrocentric nonsense, we're cooked

Now that the finals are all but over, we can get back to something far more interesting
Who gon git KD?

test

>>149244560
To be honest, I like KD but unless he comes to my Knicks I don't give a fuck where he goes

>>149244540
all timberwolves fans btw

>>149244496
Strawther fouls him

>>149244560
Miami Heat then he can torpedo that franchise and they both retire in shame.

>>149244560
Spurs, for funsies

>>149244574
Strawther gotta be the hulk to send a man flying like that

>>149244571
Word on the street is KD wants to go to the knicks but knicks said no

>>149244560
bruh we done with old heads. Talk about players who actually move the needle

this kd nigga has never won nothing without joining a team that already won a ring without him

why does anybody rate him?

>>149243822
Now post how many he has without free throws.

>>149244560
>Who gon git KD?
i just looked at the odds. i'd post em but 4chan won't let me. kd "stays on the suns" would be my bet, but the odds are +2000 so maybe i'm retarded. idk who would want this old expensive mf for 1 year.

>>149243900
Imagine the Thunder with Topić

>>149244560
Does it really even matter? It's not like he's a number 1 option anymore at 37 years old
Any team who gets him is a 2nd round exit at best, couldn't even drag the damn Suns to a WCF thanks to the garbage front office putting trash ass bums around him with bloated contracts

Do thunder fans even exist? Besides fake ass cucknadian bandwagoners of course

>>149244660
kd bred a whole new generation of niggas who were taught how to guard him. his demise is inevitable.

>>149244666
there was that one thailand poster or wherever who always used to suck chet off. Haven't seen that flag around so his sex tourism trip must've ended...

>>149244666
outside of Oklahoma, no. They don't have any out of state fans

sga's the only flopper who had his free throws go up during "playoff basketball" instead of down

>>149244378

>>149244658
The Topic Thunder might become a dynasty!

>>149244560
The real question is: WHO GON GIT MY GOAT BOL BOL??????
IMAGINE THE PACERS WITH BOL BOL CRAWLING BACK AND FORTH ON THE COURT LIKE AN AUSTRALIAN SPIDER SNIPING 3S AND GRABBING BOARDS

So, uhh.. Jdub is getting FMVP
Awkward

>>149244723

Sadly this is true

Don't shit on OKC like that, that's below the belt

Almost like he isn't actually flopping....

It is Trump country faggot.

Who are supersonic fans rooting for

>>149244829

>>149244793
this is the nigga that dropped 40 tonight? nba is cooked

Pacers can win in 7 but Carlisle needs to perform the greatest 2 game stretch of his coaching career ever
Legacy on the line, fate of the NBA in jeopardy
I want Carlisle

>>149244844
Why are men ok with being super fucking feminine on camera

>>149244837

>>149244849
I think it’s a black zoomer thing

>>149244848
exactly why the Thunder need to finish off the pacers on Thursday

>>149244848
They ain't gonna win with hobbled hali. Shits over

>>149244848
its over unc

>>149244849
zoomers

PUT IN THE WHITE, SIX'ONE", THIRTY THREE YEAR OLD

>>149244848
Carlisle had the chance to really make a galaxy brain decision tonight to stay with TJ over haliburden who was giving them nothing and he blew it

>>149244887
They aren't deep enough and OKC is too good.

>>149244906
Hali still had 7 rebs and 6 assists. He just couldn't score.

Halliburton speaking truth after the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ot47bt_v44

If OKC wins this year, which they almost certainly will, I wonder how the teams in the east will react. Are they gonna team build around trying to match up with them, or would they be more focused on getting passed the pacers?

>>149244932
Getting past the Pacers isn’t hard. They don’t have a real star

>>149244666
No lol, they don’t even like basketball because it’s too black for them. Oklahoma is the most racist state

>>149244932
Magic buys Luka and his whole Luka Magic schtick creates 5-8 years of marketing genius

>>149244932
The East is wide open for everything. It's why Orlando is making moves.

>>149244928
Also 3 turnovers, when he usually averages closer to 9:2 Ast:TO

>>149244938
I will not tolerate any slander against him! >:(

>>149244932
The best teams on the east aside from the pacers are the knicks, celtics, cavs, and heat. so presumably they're all looking at OKC

>>149244951
I wasn't really familiar with his game. He's really impressed in this series.

You think Adam Silver has the balls to make a rule against SGA's push off? I think he's gaming the system a bit too much, kinda like how they had to change back downs because of Chuck

>>149244951
He disappears too often to be great. He’s a fine number 2 on a contender

>>149244931
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLBMYvCxr3s

>>149244957
There’s no way he could carry a team though as the 1st option. Too inconsistent

>>149244960
Because this retard benched him when they cut the deficit to 2

damn pacers makin him bored man

>>149244666
i'd post a cool pic to check your digits since this is an imageboard, but i can't. what i will say is that there really are fans from 15+ years ago when a shitass 30 win team showed up with a young kd and westbrook, then afterwards, a young harden was drafted. that young core fought to the nba finals, only losing to lebron's prime superteam after they got humiliated by the mavs the previous year. then okc blew the team up by trading harden for players that were almost irrelevant to history. GM brilliance.

>>149244980
he keeps cucking his team when they start winning. rigged bs
>oh shit better bench pascal
>oh shit better bench tj
>oh shit better put ice cold mathurin in

>>149244991
Idk why the league wants him as the face, no charisma at all and very boring game

>>149244997
Exactly. And who the hell is that Tony Bradley guy? Why put him in? He's like the Pacers' version of Jaxson Hayes. Retarded as hell.

>>149245011
you can't even show his replays because the general public will call it an offensive foul.

Honestly, the Pacers have no one but themselves to blame. They choked last game and completely fumbled this one when they were one possession away. I don't think they can come back from this, sadly. They look mentally rattled.

who really wanted a 40 year old KD for 50 million a year

>>149245011
They don't want him, but they don't want Jokic, and Jokic doesn't want it neither
SGA is simply better than Ant, and the same criticisms apply to Tatum as well
Who else is left? Luka's new team sucks, and Giannis is injured in the playoffs all the time, and his team now sucks
Hali ain't it

>>149245029
Yeah not with an injured Halliburton.

>>149245040
These niggas need to sample Lebron and Currys semen and artificially create the stars of the future in a lab

>>149245040
the only thing sga has over ant is the ability to hit a wide open midrange shot.

>>149244561
*sigh* Yeah, I would. No condom either.

>>149244960
>He’s a fine number 2 on a contender
Says who? On the Raptors he was their #3 behind Kawhi and Lowry. Pacers aren't even contenders btw, they lucked into this Finals. They're never getting back with this squad, same as the 2000 Pacers.

>>149245114
congrats on being straight

>Says who?

>>149244561
>>149245135
I audibly gagged

>>149245174
congrats on being gay

pascal siakam is a cool guy and pascal is a cool name. go pacers

Bum ass Hellyburton.
Still would fry potato gun skeet btw.

>>149245011
It's almost like they don't want him as the face of the league. Small market. Not American. Not a Nike guy. Media smearing him with "foul baiter" narrative. He's just taking it by force. Sorry that makes you seethe.

>>149245182
smellyburton what the smelly

>>149245176
bitch she is 60 years old

kyrie's streaming on twitch if anyone here missed the spook signal

>bennedict mathurin
this dude was horrible

>>149245211
He's a rhythm shooter
He needs a while to get going but when he does he's a killer like in Game 3
Unfortunately the rotations Carlisle is running aren't giving him that much opportunity to show himself but that's because OKC was also able to shut down passing tonight on defense
I think Mathurin should start for Game 6 over Haliburton especially since Tyrese is injured

>>149245198
one day you'll get it lil bro

Wow. The NBA fucking sucks dick without Chris Bosh

>>149245239
> You must fuck disgusting musty 60yo pussy to be a "man"

You are the niggerest of negroes that should have gotten lynched first.

If it comes out I'm a closeted homosexual my career in the league is over..

kek i aint even say that, champ. i just said that one day you'll get it. with how you're reacting i take you must be on the younger side. one day lil bro. one day.

>>149245040
Seriously nigga? Ja Morant, Jalen Brunson

I hate that the heads of the NBA are going to see this lackluster (ratings etc) finals as somehow fault of the Pacers. The Thunder and their coddling are why I'm not watching. The Pacers are great.

Maybe I can sleep the pain of this loss off...

>>149245284
You're sleeping now, anon. The Pacers won the game! You're having a nightmare that OKC won. Once you wake up, all will be well.

just took a fat haliburton

>>149244635
>who would want this old expensive mf for 1 year

Denver

indy was about to win g4 and choked
in g5 they were dominating okc for a while and then collapsed
what a choke they couldve won the title and yes ik its quite hypothetical

>>149245249
lmfaooo lil nigga mad as fuck. relax hahaha

>>149245359
if you want to get hypothetical, indy could've won in 4 and okc could've won in 4

>>149245328
Still not watching a Thunder game. Cry all you want.

the series hypothetically should be over. okc faggots choked away game 1. but hypothetically, i should be a millionaire with a smoking hot italian wife who looks like monica bellucci so fuck hypotheticals. hypothetically speaking you should fucking kill yourself

The Thunder are going to choke this and everyone knows it. It’s fucking hilarious how obvious it is

this is two games in a row of pacer wins if siakim doesnt get shafted/benched. wtf is this. it's a work.

Jalen really gonna be the FMVP

>>149245460
siakim needs rest. also no they would have still lost though

>>149244928

>>149245439
Cope and seethe tranny. Thunder in 6

>>149245274
Drug infested trump supporter state F the fakers

Pacers win at home to force a game 7. Scott foster refs game 7 to refball another blowout win. Fucking yawn we all saw the same shit before in the Denver series. Keague is so chalked we need a ducking bignig to be commissioner

>>149245789
Hahahahaha delusional
Keep on taking the fentanyl faggot

what's with jokic or luka and giving up as many easy buckets on defense as you get on offense while having your fans defend your honour better than you defend your basket
>hurr durr their teammates don't add value on offense
well hurr durr they add negative value on defense
>muh advanced stats
how does jokic get assists? or rebounds?

panthers win today

How far is this big 3 going?

>>149245828
6 games in round 1

>>149245806
Don’t expect a response to this, not a serious one anyway

>>149245828
Round 2 of the play-in. Postseason ends with a josh giddey buzzer beater over KD

>>149245884
Bulls aren’t making the play-in

Friendly reminder that these entire playoffs were rigged so the NBA can crown SGA the new face of the league because the negro brain literally cannot function unless the best basketball player in the world looks like them. Giannis and Joker have done tremendous damage to ratings and black masculinity.

>>149245915
Did you forget about Tatum???

Ja Morcan't Grizzlies, MPJ-consumed Nuggets, Rudy Yogurt-lead Wolves, Haliblunder and the Paceshits.....Name a more lame and fraudulent finals run. I don't believe there is one.

>>149244719
Jokic is such a crybaby

Desmond Bane trade got me more hype than the NBA finals

>>149245828
its crazy how kd's image at the gutter everyone associating him with losing

to make it even worse hes had a great season statistically but its like hes unable to play winning bball anymore

>>149245961
A ring oa a ring cry harder faggot hahahaha

KD to Spurs

>>149244719
Bitch white boy

>>149246256
>hes unable to play winning bball anymore

Same as Lechoke

>>149246476
LeBron just won 50 games without his defensive anchor with a rookie head coach at 40 years old in the bloodbath West, what was Jordan doing at this same age?

halibuston should just sit his ass on the bench and let daddy tj and siagoat take over

>>149246537
How many times did jordan get bounced in the 1st round?

>>149243822
Bawbs did not like this one!

Jokic lost.

One (1) game away from finally getting legit merchslop of my Thundies shipped and stocked to this shitty country

>>149247149
giannis has exceeded all expectations 100 times over since he was drafted. but for a top 20 all time player, his playoffs career except 2021 is EXTREMELY weak. not a single good team beaten in the playoffs. not one.

>>149247171
outside 2021 he has beaten
2019: 8th seed pistons, total trash 41 win team in a weak east. 4th seed celtics also a garbage team.
2020: 8th seed magic, AWFUL team
2022: 6th seed bulls who were missing lonzo, that team wouldnt even have made the playoffs if he missed the entire season
hes been in the nba for 12 years and again outside 2021, has 4 career playoff series wins, all 4 were against gutter trash teams. he blew a 2-0 lead to the raptors, completely shat the bed against miami in 2020, couldnt beat the celtshits, choked to miami again, and got his ass kicked back to back by halibust.
his resume is worth shit
/blog

>>149247219

>>149247241
you do realize this proves my point right? the years he won mvps he choked. he won a title in the biggest mickey mouse year and hasnt seen success since. and thats in the weak conference.

>>149247261
he has a great resume, youre just a hater

this is why people think hes not a superstar, a superstar would get shit on brutally

I feel bad for siakam man nembhard and haliburton sold the game

>>149247417

>>149247537
nembhard, more like sold hard. that dude had 3 TOs in the last 5 minutes

KD to spurs

indiana pacers should trade for cristian braun

Who even won? This is the worst finals ever, these two flyover teams SUCK

>>149247650
braun is a vorpbaby waiting to be exposed. just like bruce brown and caldwell pope

How the FUCK the Nuggets managed to hold Jalen Williams to 17ppg 37% fg?

>>149247689
Aaron Gordon is great defender. Guy guarded KD, AD, and LeBron during the championship run

>>149247689
Aaron Gordon iirc

>>149247727
>>149247744
Wasn't Gordon primarily on SGA?

Kings won the trade.

So Ace Bailey is gonna be basketball Shedurr huh

trade halibust for KD

>>149247923
i can tell by the name my Hornets drafting another bust fucking hell

>>149247923
Ace won't fall that far, probably still goes top 10

How many wins....

>>149248157
westbrook and herro are losing players, jovic is a meme. its just kd and bam, who regressed this year. if kd goes to miami thats even more retarded than phx

More aura than Kobe.

>>149248163
The move would be to keep Ware, KD and Bam and trade Herro but Pat Riley is genuinely a racist who treats Herro better than he's treated legit superstars like LeBron, Wade, Shaq, Magic ect. He sees one decent white boy and treasures him like nobody else

>>149248223
Herro can be a piece on a good team but he's one of those dudes like Brunson or Trae where they can't play defense at all even a little bit so you have to mold the whole lineup around that fact

>>149248157

Releasing a stank shit from deep within me, Luka Doncic in the playoffs

What can Adam Silver do to save the league from flyover dominance?
OKC has single handily killed any momentum the league had in growing the game

noticing how a lot of brown and black incels vicariously live through ant and wanna skin walk him

Honest question, until Cooper Flagg proves himself, is Tyler Herro the best United States born BAWB in the league?

>>149243813 (OP)
>tfw i immediately and without ever wavering said that the mavericks won The Trade
>tfw the point of "tanking" (by choice or by circumstance) is to get the #1 overall pick and the mavericks did that, further solidifying their trade victory, especially since doncic's player option kicks in after the end of next season and the mavericks just got the new face of their franchise as well as one of the best NBA draft prospects in history on a #1 overall rookie deal for 4 years

Apologize to me right now you basketball ignorant faggots. Say you are sorry for being a clueless casual and that you yield to my superior basketball brain.

I am victorious
Nico is victorious
The Dallas Mavericks are victorious

The Dallas Mavericks are picking #1 overall and you can't do shit about it but screech and cry and shit your pants. It's over. Now APOLOGIZE you fucking monkeys.

>>149248434
I'm sorry. Nico was right. I was wrong.

>>149248445
very well, your apology has hereby been accepted. you just gotta pay better attention next time because the second the mavericks played ball with the lakers, the fix was in and flagg was being gift wrapped for delivery this upcoming week.

kinda fucked up feminine men get more play than you ever will being so "manly". sad life.

>>149248553
it's a good thing that all the mavericks had to do was not make the playoffs, otherwise flagg's a spur because the NBA really likes poppovich

>>149249132
hes got a small dick thats why

>>149249132
this is reality as a walled NBA player

>>149249108
KD ruined his career when he went to gsw

>>149249210
thats his legacy. the dicklet who ruined the league so he could join the warriors. lebron shouldve just left the cavs and joined them too

>>149249251
>Ruined the league
More like ruined your retarded narrative about LeBum being the "goat"

>>149247149
>giannis please become a merc like me and kd don't just let it be me and kd as the only mercs noooooooo my heckin legacy

Ishbia is retarded so he'll probably not trade KD at all and watch him walk next year for nothing rather than be seen losing a trade

>>149249271
Kebron won a ring with jr smith iman shumpert and tristan thompson
Jd won a ring with andre iguodala, first pick bogut, and shaun living ston fuck outta here

Everyones talking about KD but noone is talking about where the greek freak goes

>>149249340
smoke and mirrors

he's staying with the bucks

>>149249271
If Lebron wasnt a retard he should've joined the Harden Rockets given they gave the GSW superteam a harder time than Bron Cavs,

>>149249372
lebron is famously very into his legacy and his "story" and the story of him winning one in cleveland is bigger than of him winning multiple in houston

>>149249354
He can and should go to OKC desu, they have the assets to make it happen without gutting their core, theres Shaq/Kobe potential, except noone raped someone and noone is fat as a shrek in the offseason, so you have a successful three peat

Pointless to be on a team that lost back to back to "Indiana"

Jalen Williams already has more signature finals games than Tatum.

>>149249461
But overall he lacks optics,

After the bubble ring, he blew up the championship team so lakers could get Westbrick, only for it to fail so hard hilariously, and signified their failure for years to come and dooms Lukas career

>>149249467
no way the bucks take that

that's essentially what desmond bane went for minus one pick (three late firsts plus three randos)

at this point it would cost jdub plus all that other stuff (they wont take chet anymore since he played so badly this postseason)

>>149249546
LeGM is not good at making choices that will make his team better

he also forced the lakers to take his son in the second round so that he could do this one singular photo op and basically making bronny the laughing stock of the league

>>149249549
Chet’s really Giddey’d his trade stock. The Thunder were lucky to get Caruso for Giddey, but I don’t see them getting anyone worthwhile for Chet

>>149249586
Don't get it twisted he was a terrible pick but at 55 I doubt the lakers could have gotten anyone better,

When Lechoke retires i'm guessing they trade Bronny off to Spurs or OKC for his own good to develop, and try to build around Luka and recover from the damage lebron did to the team

>>149249669
bronny's probably out of the league as soon as his 4 year contract is over
some megashit team might sign him for the ticket sales though

>>149249632
It might work out for the thunder because they weren't going to max both Jdub and Chet anyways. Now they just have to max Jdub and give chet a team friendly deal

This chocolate queen is a massive Luka Stan. How does this make BABBs feel?

>>149249549
I mean if the greek freak sits out games threatens to beat up everyone Draymond style in the front office and the GM, I would argue they bite the bullet and maybe ask for Wallace and Dort and then trade away, Milwaukee was always an irrelevant team and Giannis was
carrying them on everything, they really don't deserve that much, they got their chip in the 21th century, and can go back to being a lottery team for now,

Giannis has been irrelevant for a while because of the declining market value of the bucks, OKCs energy is night and day compared to the milwaukee, I lowkey do not hear anything about Giannis and I think it's because the bucks have been capping and limiting his potential, hes only 30s if he does the same stuff, lebron does with longevity, he can be a superstar stud

>>149244951
Its not slander to point out that he gave up 6 turnovers last night while only pulling down 6 boards. He did that to himself and his team and thats a big part of why they lost.

>>149249770
>I mean if the greek freak sits out games threatens to beat up everyone Draymond style in the front office and the GM, I would argue they bite the bullet and maybe ask for Wallace and Dort and then trade away

There hasn't been any indication that he wants out super badly though, all the news has been that he's semi-open to it but it's not like he's threatening to sit out games or anything like that

>>149249724
Granted to hes undersized and all, I wonder if bryce has any potential,

Lakers have been horrifically awful at developing any talent, so id hope OKC takes him given how phenomenal their ability at developing talent is, cause ignoring a 6'6 player with some clear potential would be a lame,

>>149245040
>Giannis is injured in the playoffs all the time
He fakes injury when it looks like his team is going to be eliminated so that he can claim that it wasn't his fault.
As if someone else is responsible for his conditioning and avoiding injury.

Haliburton is doing the same thing in this series. Lebron did it in the 1st round, its something that a lot of faggots do.

>>149249848
>faking injury
You DO know Haliburton is still playing next game, right??
He does have a calf strain which is why he played so shit but he tried to play through it to give his team a chance.
I guess we'll know for sure on Thursday whether he was "faking it" or not

>>149249282
Kek

>>149249884
Faking injury or not Haliburton has games like last night where he will straight up never shoot the ball, he had six attempts total last game

>>149243813 (OP)
These Thunder and Pacers teams wouldn't beat any previous championship teams. What a fluke year for small markets

>>149249814
But don't get it twisted, he does want out, he's been on the same team for all his life, i think he's aware that he's getting caught up in a Dirk Novitsky-esque situation where his loyalty injures a more fascinating ring heavy career he could have had and it's the fault of a dumb front office, it's better to look for a way out try another team rather than just losing and losing and then get hit with a horrible injury, the bucks have not made a deep playoff run in a long while,

And the biggest reason on why he should leave is solely is the load management, it's just far too much for him, especially when you compare that to the thunder bench playing better without SGA on the floor

>>149248434
What Luka done without Nico again?

>>149249904
He's a pass first point guard. The league has left that playing style behind. Your #1 option on a supermax contract can't be just a facilitator and big shot merchant.

>Durant admitted to Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports that he pushed for the Bradley Beal acquisition.
Based KD absolutely destroying the suns from within

>>149247805
>STILL haven't made it into the playoffs after that 2022 game 7 against the warriors
Kwab what is this cope? Haliburton will have more than 1 shot at a ring. Sacramento will be lucky to have 1 shot at a ring in the next 50 years.

>>149247923
Kon Knuppel sounds like a Bleach character.

>>149249978
AD is 32, Kyrie is 33 and Klay is 35. Next season they won't make the playoffs, the season after they'll try and fail with everyone healthy before trading away all of their vets and rebuilding around Cooper. 3 years of tanking should get Cooper some young players on the same timeline as him. The Mavs went from making the finals last season to not making the playoffs for the next 6 years LOL

>>149249978
made the playoffs

>>149250016
Except Sacramento had a ok season and great season prior, if they get more slashers, they can probably have a deeper playoff run,

Pacers players are likely to walk once their contract ends this season, Turner, Nemhard, Bryant, Jackson etc,

Don't get it twisted.These pieces would have probably raped the Nuggets and Wolves in 4 games, if the wolves standing a better chance,

The nuggets just looked so hopeless, especially in Game 7, they kept inbounding the ball to the joker, and changed nothing, Murray did nothing, hit no threes etc

>>149249978
This, I’m glad I can finally be a Mavs fan again now that Luka is gone. His complete lack of defense/complaining to the refs was really embarrassing

>>149249904
>he had six attempts total last game
missed all of them

KD for MPJ and a bench dude and some picks
who says no?

>>149250081
But granted, if you combine all their championships, they have the amount as by michael jordan, jus saying, having all that experience can help a young star like Cooper grow and evolve quickly,

He can learn handles from kyrie, 3pt from Klay, and powering to the room from AD

>>149250081
>wall of cope

why would the suns do this

>>149250191
*The rim

Not room

T. Phone poster here

>>149250191
casuals somehow think putting elite veterans around the number one overall pick is a bad thing

>>149250189
What does that do for the Suns?

>>149250191
you're responding to a confirmed casual retard who conceded defeat to >>149248434 a day or two ago, so you're not supposed to treat him seriously.

>>149250248
Old vets that demand the ball looking to pad their stats for larger contract extensions aren't who you want to put around a rookie franchise player, dummy. They're all going to be gone in the next 2 years anyway.

>>149250257
MPJ is a decent player and good shooter,can be a good piece for them since they're kinda reworking the entire team

>>149250248
it's more like poking hole in the stated rationale Nico gave for the trade and actions afterwards. If you know you're getting Flagg then why in the fuck would you trade for an aging and injury prone AD, run Kyrie into the ground trying to make the playoffs, and trade away a dude like Grimes for a bum like Martin?

>>149250289
>MPJ is a decent player

>>149250279
lol still mad that you got outed as an NPC that get's all of his opinions from ESPN and think pieces on TikTok. You've conceded defeat days ago and can't refute any of my points. Stay mad, stay coping, stay not knowing ball

>>149250248
I guess the argument most people are making is Dallas is basically like the old boston three in Brooklyn,

Age and injuries were the issue, if they were 7-8 years younger and healthy, they would absolutely dominate and chips

But overall Dallas is funnily enough the best team Cooper could end up, if he ended up on the wizards or hornets, he would probably end up as a bust so you can understand why the NBA rigs these draft pick selections,

>>149250339
what other trade packages are they getting? we already know Rockets and Spurs kinda dont wanna make a deal with them

>>149249467
So I ask again does nobody want this trade? It resurrects Giannis's career

When you guys said there’s a 10/10 girl everywhere you look in NYC, you weren’t lying.
How the fuck is there a super cute girl on EVERY fucking block

>>149250410
because theres like 15 million people there

>>149250410
It's because there's a lot of Dominicans.

>>149250381
If I was the Spurs I'd trade Castle for KD in a heartbeat. Somehow that scrub won ROY and the Spurs already have Fox and soon Harper to pair with KD and Wemby.

>>149250298
I think it was a backdoor deal, adam silver got involved, paid Nico to do the trade, even before that part of the issue was Luka being fat, the super max issue looming and the inane idea of having to pay millions to an overweight star similar to Zion and Embiid,

I doubt dallas would've gotten the 1st rd pick if he got a better deal with other teams, then Dallas would have been competitive in made in the playoffs, the point was to make dallas tank

>>149250442
i have no idea why they wouldnt do this, this makes sense, castle is a bum who cant shoot

The funny thing is all these teams are seeing who can fleece the suns the hardest and there's nothing Ishbia can do about it

>>149250442
KD's 37 hes got like 1 or 2 seasons left. I dont think Spurs are winning anything in the next 2 years so id stick with my ROY. KD needs a team that can carry him while he plays a 2nd or 3rd scorer type of role now, if he wants another chip

>>149250410
no offense but NYC is a shithole, go to istanbul if you want to see a real world class city with world class pussy

>>149250442
Retarded argument, Castle is a solid defender, it makes more sense to trade Foxx given he's a point guard, and it's redundant if Harper comes along who is a point guard that's 2inchs taller than Foxx

>>149250501
KD averaged 26/6/4 on 64% TS this season. Even old, washed KD would be a great second option and late game closer.

>>149250485
Getting anything in return for 40 year old Cancer Durant is actually a fleece

>>149250527

>>149250558
thats true but the rest of the team is nowhere near championship level. he would be a great closer but a 1st round exit. kind of pointless

>>149250558
Would you say the same about Damian Lillard pre injury?

>>149250511
>Go to Turkey
And then end up dead to skydaddy worshippers? Ill pass,

>>149250558
He's still incredibly stupidly expensive, hes an idiot, he thought he had a career out of golden state and fumbled everything

>>149250527
Castle had a TS% of 52% this season. He was defensively a net negative with DPM of -1.7 and he averaged 29% from 3 as a guard. He's a bonafide scrub that won ROY because the Risarcher and Sarr were even more trash.

>>149250605
Turkey is not a muslim extremist country lmao, they dont do that shit

>>149250603
Yes. You have to get Giannis some help and keep him happy. Trading for Dame and keeping him off of the Heat was a good decision. It didn't work out because of injuries, poor coaching and a bad bench.

>>149250607
Risarcher is like a French anthony bennett, he had one good game against the bucks and never played that good again

Sarr is on a horrible team, the wizards are such a comically bad team, if he was on OKC he would develop so fast, he would be a better big than and Hart and maybe Chet, hes had amazing games, shot 3ptrs and trained with Wemby too

>>149250657

No, i dont think he will be Luka's level but he can be a good player. he was very good in the clubs he played for,given his age, but Luka is a fucking monster.

Im watching old Larry Bird ball in the playoffs

This guy is likely a bust. Decent passing but can't shoot and poor defender. And he blew his knee out twice before turning 18 sapping what little athleticism he had

If I recall correctly, he's done some practice test games and such and was recovering well in practice, i don't think he's a bust, Murray blew his knee and came back to win a chip, Chet as well had some foot injuries and is on the verge of winning the ring, i hear that thunder are very likely to build on him if anything bad happens to sga

>>149250869
Chet is being carried hard and you know it.

>Still seething that his daily COPE spam got proven wrong over and over and his poverty team is stuck being shit for the next half decade
Keep posting your pepe's, we all know that you're shook and having a retard meltie. Just learn the basics of basketball and you won't have to feel this way, bozo.

>[Charania] Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is believed to have suffered a strained right calf and will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the strain, sources tell ESPN.

>>149251354
Yup.

>>149251354
another one falls to the dorture chamber...

>>149251354
He has his excuse ready for the podcast circuit when the Pacers lose game 6 lol

Tj Mcconnel bros...it's time

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has done what the media wanted Tatum to do.

Haliburden is the biggest fraud since Cantman

>>149251453
The league changed the rules to stop Harden and Trae's foul baiting but they look the other way with this SGA and call him the next face of the league. Really makes you think

>A female client was having marital difficulties. "My husband can't have sex," she complained. "He feels very bad about this. I'm sure there's something he's keeping from me."

>Owiny invited the husband in. For a while they got nowhere. Then Owiny asked the wife to leave. The man then murmured cryptically: "It happened to me." Owiny frowned. He reached into his pocket and pulled out an old sanitary pad. "Mama Eunice," he said. "I am in pain. I have to use this."

>Laying the pus-covered pad on the desk in front of him, he gave up his secret. During his escape from the civil war in neighbouring Congo, he had been separated from his wife and taken by rebels. His captors raped him, three times a day, every day for three years. And he wasn't the only one. He watched as man after man was taken and raped. The wounds of one were so grievous that he died in the cell in front of him.

>"That was hard for me to take," Owiny tells me today
What’s his team?

So triggered by being wrong and getting BTFO that you posted twice LMAO. Your defeat and lack of basketball knowledge has been firmly established.

>>149251605

>>149243822
This makes Chokic, Shart Edwards, Halibum and Ja fans seethe...

>>149243865
Halibum is just Gaytum 2.0 /sp/ has been saying these things man pay attention...
>>149243876
yup, yup

Are y’all done pretending you’re from Indiana now?

Impregnating Elle Mai with a superadonis athlete unlike Duece

>>149251892
its actually irrational to compare scoring averages today to back in MJ's day because overall scoring was way down back then compared to today.
a 30+ for MJ is the equivalent of around 40 in the current era.
for example 1996 finals the bulls scored over 100 only twice, there were no games where both teams went into triple digits, two games were won by teams scoring less than 90.

>>149249768
she looks like Dwade with a wig kek

>>149250675
yup, yup. Great Talent + American + classy. all she needs to win is a chip and its over for the MNBA

>>149252008
If your best player has to take enough shots to average 40 points a game then that's just bad basketball. MJ wouldn't average 40 in this era and players back then weren't that much better than they are now.

>sga and j will have double digit free throws
>Thunder barely win
Their ring is going to be asterisk shaped.

why is the viewership so low if the players are better than they’ve ever been?

>>149252181
its become soulless and full of adds. an NBA basketball game is 3 hours long. thats 2 whole football games. And no one cares about these new media trained stars

>>149252198
>adds

>>149252181
outdated metric. Silver is out here cashing checks while yall still talking about nielsen ratings. Analytics world but retards are citing boomer data

>>149252181
Try saying SGA is better than MJ without getting laughed out of the room. Hell, try saying Williams is better than Pippen.

>>149252232
many whelps, left side, handle it

>>149252198
>and full of adds
Never understood this complaint. Should they just show a blank screen during timeouts? Just because an ad is playing doesn't make the timeout any longer than it already is.

>>149252270
staying in the arena with the commentary team during the timeout helps with not breaking the flow of what you're watching. every time a commercial starts i start doing something else and come back like 5 minutes after the game resumes

>>149243822
are one of his parents asian

>I'm resigning from my night job tomorrow so I can watch the Finals on Thursday
Player(s) for this feel?

>>149252270
actually it does. NBA timeout are artificially lengthened and they have a thing called tv timeouts. In regular basketballs timeouts are a minute. This is extremely obvious and noticeable when you watch non-nba/american hoops

>>149251354
He's still playing Game 6 no matter what but this is an asterisk if they lose man it was 2-2 series

>>149252469
>every series is an asterick if every player on both teams is not 100%
when will it end?

>>149252488
It's only an asterisk if the best player on the team gets hurt
OKC Denver was not an asterisk series because Jokic wasn't injured

>>149252469
its selfish of his to play when he knows he is injured and that his low quality of play will harm his team. he should just let TJ start if he is too injured to play well

>>149252488
Ignore Inceltic. He's trying to claim every ring is an * so everyone ignores his plumber troon team has the biggest * in sports history.

>>149252531
TJ and Haliburton will probably switch rotations so TJ starts and Haliburton off the bench
I'm realizing that TJ probably didn't get subbed in the 4th because he couldn't guard anyone without fouling, but he was still driving the offense better than Haliburton was

TJ in Game 6 has to help build a lead early or it's over

The Wolves weren't anything special this year, and I fail to see how they'll be any better next year. They beat the Lakers, and took down a Warriors team with no Curry. And the Warriors would have had at least a 6 game series if Curry was healthy.

>>149252526
The rule is 1 superstar or the other 2 in a big 3. MJP and Gordon were injured, so it counts.

You really are obsessed with dark skin people huh.
