>>149315211Imagine this kid grows up to be a 6โ7 sniper
>>149315121Haliburton and Giddey are the only pass first point guards left in the league. Curry and Harden changed the way that the point guard position is played.
>>149315367wtf harden is a point guard? i thought westbrook was
mcconnel has been the 3rd best pacer this playoffs. Im not counting James Johnson, he only played in 5 games

>>149315076 (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 yearsApologize 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.
Should I get chinese general tao chicken with fried rice or a pizza and some wings?
fuck the Lakers
>>149315852What if flagg is a bust though
>>149315852You knew that the league rigged the draft to give the Mavs Cooper flag?
Also, Luka would have signed the supermax contract extension had the Mavs offered it which would have gotten them more value based on the fact that teams would be trading for multiple years of Luka instead of a rental.

>>149315875make a fucking salad, fatass
>>149315367The idea of the 10 assist pass first pure PG as the engine of the offense was invented with Magic and only existed for a decade or 2 and in NBA2K. Before Magic, the PG brought the ball up and passed it to the center to start the offense. By the early 2000s the fast, scoring first lead guard had taken over the league. So we've actually had the modern scoring guard longer than we had the mythical pass guard.
The Blunder have no answer for based TJ, not watched them much all season but if the Pacers win I hope he gets FMVP
>>149316213stfu nigger westgod averaged over 10 assists for 10 yrs in fact he averaged a triple double GOAT
Hali/Siakam/Turner/McConnel/Nembhard >>>>>> Chokic/Murray/MPJ/Gordon/Westbrick
Are you ready for Game 7?
>>149316386Yeah but he was trying to get high stats. No one else tries. Westbrook is a stat artist and his 20 20 20 game was his magnum opus.
>>149316386He never made it out of the first round as a first option and hasn't been a winning player even as a 6th man on a vet min. Westbrook is a bonafide shameless stat padder
>>149316213Fucking Nikola Jokic averages 10 assists per game. These new age point guards are pathetic.
>>149315955>>149316013Why are there always two retards who fall for this shit bait?
>>149316386You can't just compare mere mortals to Shiva.
>>149316418istg if the Scott Foster crew gets to ref i'm gonna lose it
>>149316548Jokic isn't a pass first PG. He's a do everything first Center.

why does the NBA draft only have 2 rounds?
>>149316606>2 american whites top 3No way Knueppal is #3.
>>149316638because there are only 450 spots and good players hang around for a long time
>>149316638Why do teams need more than 2 new players every year?
>>149316638Half of the 2nd round don't even get full time guaranteed NBA contracts. Not enough slots in the NBA to justify more rounds
>>149316597>do everything first Center.He doesn't even play the other half of the game

>>149315955>What ifi'm terribly sorry, but hypotheticals simply are not arguments, and nothing about flagg screams 'bust' regardless. if anything, his early entry into the nba lends to the opposite.
>>149316013>You knew that the league rigged the draftyes, exactly how i knew that wembanyama was destined to be a spur or rocket because there was no fucking way they'd waste him in portland or charlotte. it doesn't matter that the mavericks' victory was already guaranteed because there are ALWAYS 'under the table' deals surrounding major deals: they won. john cena is a 17 time wwe champion because *he knew he was going to win every single one of them*. same thing here. the NBA draft lottery has BEEN fixed forever. i simply get to finally enjoy its favor for the first time in a long time.

After this season, I'm becoming a casual fan.
>>149319595waste giannis' prime like always
>>149319460who are you quoting?
Siakam was the reason the Raptors won in 2019.
>>149319595It's time to move on from Dame.
>>149318398Pretty much. He became way better after Vince got fired.
I bought NBA2K25 on steam just to do a rebuild for the Atlanta Hawks and then I'm gonna refund it
>>149319830>trade him while healthy and in his prime>take him back injured and shite for 1 pickI wish teams were retarded enough to do this so we can see more trades
>>149319811He was the 3rd best player on that team behind Kawhi and Lowry.
>>149319934if you go over 2 hours played you can't get a refund, be warned. At least, that's what I remember it being.
>>149319934Build around Risacher and Jalen Johnson.
>>149319963He was clearly post prime when they traded him and this lets them get even more value back for taking on his contract.
>>149319830>>149319963>>149319595I've seen scenario's where the Bucks trade Lillard and a pick or two for Beal, which I think is actually a really good trade for both teams: Suns get off the Beal contract and remove the huge distraction Beal has become, and the Bucks get an off-ball SG who will slot in perfectly next to Giannis. Sure Lillard won't play this year but then the Suns can play him early in 26-27, show he still has something left in the tank and try to move him then. Or, if he's hooping, have him be your PG, a position the Suns desperately need after the Booker at PG experiment didn't really work out.
INCELTIC SISTERS....
EMERGENCY TROONCORD MEETING ASAP
IREDIDDY BRING THE CHEESE PIZZA!!!!
THIS CANT BE HAPPENING XIRS
>>149320261The heat didn't even make the playoffs this season and their roster is full of undrafted trash. The Heat have nothing that the Suns wants other than Bam and if he's traded then the Heat might aswell rebuild.
>>149320042Yeah I know, its not that strict I've refunded a game after 3-ish hours before. It just needs to be somewhat legitimate and my PC isn't that good so performance issues are usually valid reasons
>>149320147Just need to decide where I want Trae to go, maybe portland
>>149320261Heat and Celtics are both irrelevant teams now what year you think we're in bud
>>149320386Sounds like cope.
>>149320258This wouldn't even be that bad because this year is a gap year for the Bucks. No reason to tank it if you keep Giannis but no way to go all-in, so something like Beal makes sense. He will get off your books in 2026-27 and you can become serious with Giannis with cap space and play the free agency game
my warriorers gon git giannis
>ayyyye white boy, whatchu want?
>>149315852quentin grimes AND a pick for... caleb martin?
>>149320434>t. get's his NBA takes from TikTok and 2k
>>149320491No they won't. Giannis is on a supermax contract and the Bucks will do anything to keep him. Why would Giannis ask to be traded to the Warriors and be treated like a 2nd option behind Steph and have to listen to Draymond's bullshit?
>>149320261are the heat a KD minus the stuff it would take to get him away from turning around the most embarrassing playoff defeat in history to being a legit title contented? I would think not
>>149320614Enough about you.
Spurs are drafting ACE. He didn't meet with Philly because he already knows SA got him. Harper to the Sixers confirmed

I mean wilt is literally a huge freak of nature so it doesnt matter, but does anybody know the lore on why Wilt cant just post up and basically body his opponent to get closer to the basket? Watching wilt I honestly thought hed be way more of a physical player, and while he clearly is physically stronger than everybody else, he actually defaults to finesse like fadeaways and of course this finger roll in this clip https://youtu.be/cqYCK4WEEoY?t=3m36s

>>149323403Any ball knowers know if this is true? i dont yet want to start my arc where I start watching old ball series, because i just dont have the time, but lately I want to.
>>149325070The game wasn't very physical back then, everybody kinda tried to avoid touching butts.
>>149325300Okay, but what was the explicit rule and why? Its very interesting that they changed that rule btw. Really puts into perspective how different the NBA eras are. For example, I dont think shaq is even close to as skilled a player as wilt was, but obviously he was way more successful and "dominant" the rule that allowed him to just bulldoze people probably contributed to that. Wilt actually had to find a way to get the ball to the basket, not just put it in, ignoring whatever was in the way. Interesting, my respect for Wilt has gone up, I didnt know he had to ball like this.
>>149325260they're great at luring white men at the whore bars near all the major hotels, i seent it
https://youtu.be/cqYCK4WEEoY?t=4m42s
>The board play in the NBA is something to behold
>These fellas are big and strong and they play a no contact game
It seems in the original inception of Basketball, the fact it was a no contact sport was actually a source of pride, made all the more impressive by the fact of big guys having to play around no contact.
I can only assume its that they valued skill and finesse, and overcoming the opponent, rather than oppressing them, atleast for the standard of the time.

>>149326065thats not what he wanted. he hated all of those guys, killed the love of basketball out of Kwame and was so mean to Smush Parker he wanted to quit basketball in the middle of his prime.
if you've played sports, you would know how much you have to hate your teammates to not talk to them at all despite sharing a locker room for them.
>>149326143not even comparable. shaq is 7ft 300+ lbs. giants grow old in dog years. and he got the first ring. d wade was a 5th pick. kwame was a 1st pick. get the fuck outta here.
>>149326143oilers losing has taken a toll on leafs
>>149326205referencing draft position after Kwame was a confirmed bust by the time he got to the Lakers lmao. stick to wikipedia indeed fucking zoomer retard
>>149326245im referencing draft position cause you brought up wade like wade was an established superstar you dumb fuck. he was drafted in 03 as the fifth pick. sounds like kobe is just a shit teammate while shaq let go of his ego and brought wade up.
>>149326205>kwame was a 1st pick.nigga are you serious? Anthony Bennett a hall of famer now to?
>>149326161kobe is a cancer. nigga made dwight howard and jeremy lin cry cause he wouldn't talk or communicate at all
The type of hate that WNBA players have for one another is the type of hate that I want NBA players to have for one another.
Why the fuck don't we have that kind of anger and rivalry in the NBA?
BABB bros... bawbs been acting up lately, i think i know why. Its McConnell... he has to be stopped, by any means necessary.
>>149326331I agree with you on that front, I dont agree that he wanted a squad full of bums to make himself look better.

>>149326309Wade was already useful and fucking finals mvp when they won with Shaq in 06. i'm convinced you're actually retarded and just googling shit now
>Siakam if he wins Finals MVP
>>149326457you may not like it, but this is the peak basketball body
kobe debates now that kobe dead, go craaazy!
>>149326535? shaq got pushed out by kobe. he didn't fucking leave la cause he wanted to go play with 1st year wade. stick to wikipedia dumb ass. wade winning finals mvp speaks more to how good a teammate shaq is vs kobes bum narcissit ass.
>>149326457honestly. i thought bro was a girl a couple times lmao
>>149326685Shaq was a fat disgrace in the later Lakers years and he left cause the Lakers didn't want to pay him, he got in better shape with the Heat
>>149326623It kind of is. I'm an unironic jacked gigachad and I can hoop okay, but either the scrawny weak niggas or the fatties be the one's balling at my open. I played Football in D1 (University of Tennessee '07-'09) and then D1-A (Jax State- '10-'12 [yeah transfers had to sit out a year back then, I transferred for more playing time]) so that was always my mentality for weight training and honestly football training just doesn't translate very well for basketball regarding cardio and conditioning. You want to be skinny or fat, not really in between. Muscle isn't very useful anymore especially in todays SOFT game, back in the day you could body niggas, not today though. it's sad.
>>149326826>he left cause the Lakers didn't want to pay himagain stick to wikipedia. everyone knows kobe pushed shaq out and thats how he did it through management. and shaq was the same fat fuck in miami.

>>149326910Shaq lost like 100 pounds in Miami. He was terrible in the 2004 year
>>149326685Shaq was a lazy fat fuck his entire last 3 years with the Lakers, got his revenge bod and then quit immediately after he won his single (1) chip post Lakers. Wade winning finals mvp speaks to Wade being one of the best young players in the league and he continued it on beyond Shaq's fat ass, meanwhile Kobe went on to win two (2) more chips with teammates who credit him as wept when he died and he elevated beyond their shit careers elsewhere. in any case i'm done engaging with a retard here using the same tired ass wikipedia line that doesn't even make sense, i'm 36 and born and raised in LA I watched all of this live while you were swimming in your dad's balls
Let me solve the Kobe question
>Yes, Kobe was a great player
>Yes, he was a ball hog and could shoot the team out of the game
>Yes, he pushed Shaq out of LA
>Yes, the Kobe revisionism post-helicopter crash unjustly pushed his consensus GOAT rank from not in the top 10 top to top 3 all time
>Kobe should not have stepped foot in that helicopter
>He fulfilled his lifelong dream of going out on top (of the mountain)
>Yes, he raped her
>>149327074shaq is over half a decade older than kobe. shaq is a giant so he ages faster. shaq won the first ring. kobe was playing with lamar odom the whole time. cry about it.
>>149327074shaq was traded to the lakers '96 and was ,making all nba teams before the 3 peat year
>>149327074btw if you watch his last year on the lakers vs 06 in miami he played exactly the same if not even worse on defense. fuck outta here spic
Uh, you underestimated greatly
Most number ones ever, how long did it really take me
>>149327168yes and he was still a lazy fuck, albeit dominant
i won't give (yous) to the retarded canuck, but he's simply wrong about everything he says. Shaq quite literally lost a shit load of weight and got as close to his prime shape as he could have for his Miami years, it's well documented and anyone who watched it could see it
>>149327326so thats clearly a time traveler but the entire world is made up of drones and will ignore it. this is literally proof of time travel right before our eyes. there's no such thing as a coincidence. wake up.

>>149328708If by big man you mean center, maybe. But I'd argue Jokic is at least on-par with Embiid in terms of shooting and that Dirk is basically a center who played in a PF role, Dirk is easily the best shooting 7+ footer ever. Wemby will probably claim the title when his career is all said and done, though.

>>149329556counterpoint: if kd didn't choke a 3-1 lead himself, the 73-9 warriors wouldn't have even gone to the finals to blow the 3-1 lead and the thunder would be the dynasty
either way that 73-9 team was fraudulent
>>149329602silver doesn't give a damn about boomer shit like ratings. The league is drowning in money. King bag securer is on to more important shit like these expansion fees which have just gone up due to the lakers/celtcis valuations

>>149329758Sterns in a better place now anon
I'm starting to think that the Pacers are the real evil in this series
SGA will exorcise the demon
>>149325437The rules were the opposite to what they are today in terms of favoring offensive vs defensive player. Contact initiated by the offensive player was actually an offensive foul in Wilt's day. This is why Wilt developed all those little flip shots rather than just endlessly backing players down 1990s style.
>>149329758what's really funny is i didn't hear a peep about the game 6 results so i just assumed the thunder won the title and nobody gave a shit
>>149329777Better than the Ninth Circle maybe
>>149329646>if kd didn't choke a 3-1 lead himself, the 73-9 warriors wouldn't have even gone to the finals to blow the 3-1 lead The Thunder loss was an actual choke. They were fully healthy and everything. The warriors finals, was plagued with some of the worst luck ever possible. Even worse than the 2002 wcf, just because of how exceptional losing fro. 3-1, as a 73-9 team was.
Thunder deserved their loss.
But on another note, what i find surprising, is how nobody has bothered to show any interest in digging deep on how a 73-9 team could even struggle that much in the playoffs, it seems to be the exact type of thing where nerds want to get super indepth on one super specific circumstance to try and understand it. But somehow nobody does. All everybody talks about is the comeback. Not the team.
jalms't know that the zoomies you despise are old enough to drink now, right?
>>149329820what happened other than draymond getting his own dumb ass suspended for one game. that's nowhere near as lucky as kyrie and love going down early.
>>149329789>This is why Wilt developed all those little flip shots rather than just endlessly backing players down 1990s style.I actually think this is cooler. Ive always found it kind of silly how a mfer like jokic can just back up into 2 guys until hes at the basket and still...maybe miss.
Whereas Wilt has to do a long ass fadeaway and NOT just that, but this nigga is calculating geometry in his head and consistently banking it off the backboard like its intentional because technically the backboard is slightly closer along the arc of the shot than the actual net.
In Wilts era, it feels like, you cant make any excuse for why he scored as much as he did. He had no advantage from the game. He was just that sick. Genuinely earned a lot of respect from me.
>>149329653It doesn't matter if anyone is watching on TV or league pass as long as they're gambling. Betting companies are paying huge dollar amounts in order to be associated with the league and the coverage of the games. Even if you're watching the games on an illegal stream, you're still seeing fanduel odds and getting coaxed into betting on the games. I bet there's plenty of people who gamble hundreds if not thousands of dollars on NBA games every year but don't spend on league pass.
>>149329857>OMG GUYS 2015 WAS SO UNFAIR WITH NO KEVIN LOVE! EVEN THOUGH THE WARRIORS LITERALLY WON THE GAME THAT KYRIE WAS IN EVEN THOUGH HE MISSED THE SERIES!

>>149329914please look at a picture of jokic now vs 2020-2023
>>149329931I never said he wasn't fat too but his conditioning is not a problem. He frequently doesn't even sit past the 2nd quarter and his scoring is still consistent
>>149329914Luka's already shed the weight in one offseason, new owner will spend whatever is needed to surround him with an actual team instead of whoever Jeannie Buss wants to fuck. Lakers in 4
>>149329986Until the Lakers actually have a center not named jaxson hayes they're jazz tier

>>149330947Lakers exploited the refs refusing to call shit very well against Jokic it's true. letting AD shine in off-ball defensive situations is how you use him best. it's no wonder he always wants to play PF and not C, he rotates and helps so fast he can challenge any shot.

>>149330925dwight would grab more rebounds than jokic that's for sure
So how cooked will kyrie be coming off his injury?
>>149331045You're saying the refs got exploited instead of giving a 4x DPOY his credit. Chokic fanboys are just unwilling to admit that he can be slowed down by good defense, it ALWAYS has to be crying about refs. Same shit when Draymond and the Warriors swept him in the first round in 2022
>>149331064I could shut down jokic too if I just grab his leg
>>149330959if he wasnt old he'd be guarding him 30 mins doing the same thing if not better
>>149315076 (OP)If the Celtics didn't choke in 2022, Nesmith would still be on the team. Their future would still be okay. Now, they are in luxury tax hell with no way out.

>>149331070ADisney doesn't clamp jokic like someone like Zubac does
I don't know why people pretend inconsistent reffing isn't a thing. Caruso is a great example because his defense varies greatly depending on the whistle. Hell this finals is a prime example where he (and Dort) oscillates between beast and useless depending on how it's called
>>149331089Dort and caruso are absolutely trash if they aren't allowed to muscle you. All they can do is bully and hit 3s sometimes
