Sterns biggest crime is taking a ring away from Steve Nash. I’m glad Silver doesn’t do that he just lets it play out.

Meal.

>>150835609
I dont mean this in a rude way but do you not get tired of eating the same meal every day. And i think youre missing out on a lot of nutrients.

Me and my trans gf want to get into basketball. We've recently started supporting the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL and now we want to know what the best team is for us to support in the NBA.

>>150835383
KD is "only" turning 37 but whats more important is how good he was on the suns. Look at the on/off net ratings with him. The win/loss record. KD is closer to being best player in the league than dropping out of the top 10. I watched goon on turkey. He choked his ass off in the end but his touch has improved a lot and hes a good defender now. The only thing that can stop this big 3 is a jokic masterclass or injuries. Anything worse than losing a hard fought wcf would be a big underachievement. We are taking that ring.

Bet his cum tastes great though

>>150835742
Im surprised someone replied to my post from a previous thread, I appreciate that l, however you're not gonna like me after when i'm done with you

>Suns won when KD played

KD fucked over the Suns depth causing them to lose Mikal and Cam i'm surprised the Suns fans didn't take him out like Kirk, i wouldn't blame him,

>hes still a top 10 player
The very last game he played, he rolled his ankle with his team down by 50, and that was the last we saw of him on phoenix, now he gets traded to the team that blew out his old team's ass???? Slim Reaper really defines himself and lets the stereotypes roll

And yet Phoenix traded him away for an inconsistent scoring 23 year old with a 50 year old baby mama and a Canadian Draymond Green, and a few picks that became the Moloch kid from Sudan

>We are taking that ring
I want the rockets to win, in fact I predict them winning this year, i just don't think that they should extend him for 50 to 60 fucking million when like ninety percent of guys his exact age, Iggy, D-Jordan, Paul, Lopez, Westbrick, Howard

Have all taken massive cuts/minimum salaries despite being All-NBA or All Stars, KD should being a fag and take 25 million yearly contract, for maybe over 2 years to 25 + 25 = 50, that way, they have enough cap to sign someone like Joker if he declines his PO or Lavine hits UFA

Also, the Rockets need to win a playoff series against Golden State, and get their lick back, the biggest argument for where they can't win a ring is the lack of three point shooting,

I said what needed to be said.

why does youtube keep recommending me this nigga? he just copies whatever flightmike and amhoops does and puts it out the next day

I just want to watch basketball already bros

bros, my dick is about 7.75 inches. almost 8 but not quite. is that a good size?

pay Kuminga what he's owed

Rockets and Mavs will both have starting lineups with only one guard this year

i kind of feel bad for reed feel like being drafted to houston cucked him

>>150841324

>>150841324
Yeah it’s a shame, although he’ll probably get more minutes this season, and desu the fit isn’t bad, it’s just that Udoka wasn’t willing to play him through the growing pains last season

>>150841324
He'll get more playing time now that green is gone

6.5 inches isn't enough bros

>>150841245
About tree fitty?

I feel theres a massive opening in sports manga/anime right now for ball. Slam dunk is too old school for zoomers and kuroko no basket is too unrealistic. Do something like blue lock and you can just base characters off people like steph, harden, lebron etc skill wise as antagonists.

>>150841227
No that's too much. Make it a bit shorter

>>150841851
I dont mind this, as cringe as anime and manga is right now, this sort of mindless entertainment to read or watch during the offseason would be nice

>>150841851
You should watch Haikyuu. It has the perfect balance between realistic volleyball and anime shenanigans

Taking a Lonzo

Knicks just signed Trey Jemison III!!

Never read Blue Lock but I thought it was an unrealistic sports manga? Whenever I saw a page of that manga, it was something crazy like playing football or death lol.

what is this mavs fan cope?

Wasn't there a streetball(3x3) focused manga back in the 90s? I kinda remembered reading it as a kid. They had like breakdowns of each characters shoes/clothing in between chapters, and they were real shoes and stuff.
It wasn't good, really, just okay.

>>150844490
Yeah don't cut your dick off bro

>Just two out of 75 (2.7%) I Promise seventh graders passed the state math test in 2024-25. The state average is 50%.

>It's not just math that LeBron's school kids are struggling with. Five out of 76 sixth graders passed the English language arts test. That's 6.6%.

>The school, as a whole, is firmly ranked as a one-star school in achievement. That's as low as the state ranks schools.
I don't think a lot of kids was educated.

Mike Brown is the ultimate goofy coach. It's not going to work out at all. When the Kings let him go the reports said the players couldn't take him seriously at all. He coached my Cavs in Cleveland and my grandpa would always call him the "funny guy" during interviews and stuff.

>>150845405
That's a lie kek I'm black and every white woman I've ever fucked was liberal. Well, pretty much every woman in their 20s and early 30s I've been with was liberal because I live in New York. Ironically the one older woman I was with (48) was MAGA.

They called him the Frozen One
He shifted the weight off of his shoulders
And blamed his teammates when he lost
In 2010 he broke and ran from his hometown
In 2011 we were all witnesses
Every rival had a winning record against him
Try as he might he could not surpass Kobe
He crowned himself and pretended it mattered
Behold the lameness
He is….
The Forever Bitch

>Jimmy Butler has reached out to the Warriors’ front office to try to understand exactly what their plan is , per @DaltonJ_Johnson

>“In that ESPN article, they mentioned that Draymond and Jimmy have checked in and reached out to Jonathan Kuminga. I can confidently say that Jimmy Butler has also reached out to the team and been like, ‘what's going on here? I just wanted to know the plan.’”
He's already having a melty.

>>150849479
Hes right. Warriors need to make a move and not some random one like signing a bum role player as the 8th man.

wheres weap?

>>150849530
Ideal case is swapping kuminga for a stretch 4 or 5

Kawhi Leonard’s uncle, Dennis Robertson, reportedly wanted the Lakers to give him part ownership of the team, access to a private plane, a house, and guaranteed off-court endorsement money, per @Baxter

“Acquiring George was one of several requests made by Leonard and his camp, led by Leonard's uncle, Dennis Robertson, who outlined a series of asks for the Clippers in the days leading up to July 5.
Those requests included part ownership of the team, access to a private plane, a house and guaranteed off-court endorsement money, one source with direct knowledge of the talks said. They were the same requests that, according to The Athletic, Robertson made of the Lakers and the Raptors.”

>>150849581
Inceltic propaganda as usual. Not showing the context for why its like this. This is based on # of suspensions and fines, which for the Miami Heat is inflated by last year with how many times Jimmy was suspended and fined for being a bitch.

>>150849581
>carrying both rockets and grizzlies
git ur old ass out unc drayboon

>>150850086
>>150849581
Actually, rescinding my post. The reason the Heat are even #1 is because Jimmy was suspended. Compared to the others in the top 8 they get fined way less. So Jimmy being suspended half the season is why they're #1. While the Inceltics and Knicksubhumans aren't there because refs and Silver won't touch them.

These dudes are insane i wouldnt sign his ass either.

>>150851920
Wade was lucky to have a 2nd half of his career after the knee explosion. By the end of his career either the knee fucked with him too much to stay in peak athlete shape or he just lost the edge require to stay in peak shape.

>>150851920
He was still great in 2012 and 2013. 2014 the constant deep runs got too much. He was good in 2016 and 2017, obviously not as great as he was but still had good games. Then 2018 and 2019 he was washed. But he had fun gamewinners in his last two years.

>>150851992
>>150852028
that college surgery where he removed knee cartilage or whatever fucked him

>>150852062
A lot of players did that and are doing that. But it seems like more and more they are trying to avoid that when possible and just go with a year+ recovery instead.

i still prefer and miss skinny wardell :( it was his peak afterall, people always act like he got so much better bulking up, but that clearly doesnt matter as much as averaging 30 on 50/40/90 and high field goal percentage at the rim anyway.

And you cant use the "he had a better team" excuse cuz in 2015 he didn't destroy that much besides the playoffs, and 2019, he didnt either with the mostly same core. 2021 was close, but his 2022 team which was better is one of his actually worser seasons.

if your argument is he didnt have to carry as much weight anymore in 2022, then it only makes it more remarkable that he didn't have to carry any weight on such a "good" team in 2016, and just decided to break records anyway and have the best offensive season on every single front of all time.

I understand he probably does this bulking, to last longer, be healthier and less injury prone...and thats fine...but also that didnt do much in 2025 playoffs that was 100% our year...

unfathomably retarded. will respond tomorrow

>>150854013
no joke he needs to be put on some sort of watch list.

How is this guy not in the hall of fame?
I checked his stats, all championship winning seasons he played 65-83 games a season + 16- 22 games during the play offs. With 8 play off clutch shots.
His overall stats are kinda ehh, but whatever his role was, it worked.

>>150854053
knowing our government, he probably already is. his alt account pfp is literally a white man being hung from a tree. he allowed me to follow that account. its some fucked up shit he posts on that one.

>>150854365
>That team had a great record but they struggled too much in the playoffs to be truly great.
Injured MVP and had to carry bums like Harrison Barnes and Klay catch and shoot Thompson. Yes Klay helped them past the rockets...who were a bottom 8 team with a 21st rated defense.

Look, dont make me rag on Klay, I appreciate him man, but you doing it to me man

To be fair, I have said in the past that saying the 2016 warriors were the "greatest" team doesn't make sense if you want to push certain Lebum narratives.

I only said it because I hate the idea that people simultaneously the "Lebum beat the greatest team in the finals" team, but also totally needed KD to win anything.

Charlie Kirk says Jordan is the GOAT, argument over forever.
sry lebraun

>>150854514
Rest in Peace Charlie Kirk.

>>150854366
he went too hard, bev finna kill himself

>>150854366
cooked that nasty ass darkskin

Hardens stats Game 2 2016 playoffs against the warriors. And im leaving out his game 1 where he dropped 17 points.
Nigga the rockets were ASS somehow even worse than 2015 this playoffs. And Harden

Klay had ONE "monster" game where he was 40 FG% AND 37 from 3, but I dont know WHAT the fuck was going on in 2016 cuz it DONT MATTER IF YOU DONT SHOOT if the refs just give you 16 free throws

Like dude, looking at some of these stats, im starting to think Klay has always sucked and is an unironic Curry merchant, this niggas efficiency PLUMMETS without curry on the court, the 2020 beyond seasons just showed us what that looks like WITH curry on the court, and hampered by a career ending injury.

Next game the dude is 7/20 and 0/7 from 3 and they ONLY LOSE BY ONE FUCKING POINT.

Also holy fucking shit Harrison Barnes fucking sucked. Its a genuine miracle this team won 73 games. My perspective on Curry is changing because im starting to think he carried a bum ass team to this greatness by elevating himself, because in 2013 and 2014 most of this core was the same, but he was letting them take more shots than him at that time, and was averaging 8 assists in the playoffs, whenever he shrinks himself the team suffers. Not that he played well generally, he hadnt peaked yet but still.

Posting Klays "I put on a Carry job without Curry" game and ironically, its the one game curry comes back for 20 minutes. To be fair they almost beat the rockets while all playing like garbage, so when all the roleplayers step up, they just blow out the rockets by 27 points
He scored 23 here

One more insanely lucky game. The type of effiency even top players rarely reach, granted, on 14 shots, which is exactly why top players rarely reach it, as they rarely take that few amount of shots. The rockets must have given up by then.

I think im going to watch the game again that Klay "saved the warriors" against OKC to see how much he benefits from Curry being on the floor, or if hes not actually lucky, and a catch and shoot merchant, but actually a GAWDLIKE underrated shooting guard.

>>150854616
We dont talk about harGOAT in the playoffs in any year except 2011 2020 and 2021 man

Fucking kek
Westbrook taking 31 shots to score 31 points against the Spurs in 2016, i dont why this makes me laugh so hard, or how the fuck the spurs lost to this.
Why did every 65+ win regular season team in 2016 get exposed in the playoffs? kek? atleast one of those teams had Currgoat even if hampered, thats better than having Kawhi...not hampered. Oh and we cant forget Lamarcus Aldridge dropping 38 and 41 in the first two games kek

>>150854365
Shit take, 73-9 Warriors beat every team except OKC in 5 games and they were lower in seeding with and they went 7 games with ball hogging bearded nig Harden and CP when they had Durant,

Durant took away touches and players like Klay regressed as a player over time, Barnes was a better offensive engine and role-players like Speights, Festus, and the Aussie chad Bogut were just better and fit the system more in defense mainly, KD ruined the play by play scheming they had to help them go 70 wins, cause he just like gimmie the ball and I shoot, and they got blown out by 30 the game they debuted with Durant lol,

Not to mention they almost lost game 1 against a weaker Cavs team with no Kyrie and injured/washed Love had it not been for the missed FT and JR Smith's retardation, Lebron is one guy.... how do you let him drop 51 on you, when you have Dray and Iggy to body Bron??
.

>>150854466
Which part do you disagree on?? on here >>150854187

OKC is gonna regret that retarded Chet deal. People act surprised why teams don’t repeat it’s because of dumbass GM moves like this. Shai’s contract is awful too; defenders and role players cover him all the time. Not saying SGA is bad, but "locking" guys up early when they’ve got a year left is how you kill cap flexibility.

Fans: "hurr durr they had to lock them up or they’d walk." Bro, nobody’s walking with a year left and if they walk that means a new city and bearing a bigger load on their shoulders cause teams are handing out alot of money for them, and most teams don’t even have cap space. You could’ve offered 25–30M over 5 years and kept flexibility. Rings don’t mean shit if you can’t repeat.

Chet will end up worse than Porter Jr, a hinderance on offense while Gordon/Braun do the real work yet they’re paying him like a 3rd option superstar, why?? he never looked that way to me, that was mostly Dort in my eyes

>>150854734
"2016 warriors beat the 8th seed and 5th seed in 5, beat okc in 7 and then blew a 3-1 lead to cleveland"
Are you serious, beating a 41 and 44 win team in 5 as a 73 win team is supposed to be impressibe?

>>150854755
I never said it was impressive, I just don't think they were a bad team, I rewatched the finals and the playoffs as much as could and Draymond was weirdly fucking good and dropped like nearly 30 in game 7 and had decent synergy with Barnes in rotations, Durant destabilized that, and again they Warriors got blown out by 30 against Spurs in opening night

My perception is Durant took touches from Dray and Klay, and Barnes was quite decent as well, especially in the mental urgency if Curry or Klay ever went down, with Durant, they should've blown the weaker Cavs squad by 20-30 pts anytime they played against each other, the same Cavs that went 7 games with Pacers and got blown out in the games they lost and barely won by 2-3 points in the games they won and Lebron having to drop 30+ pts AND after Lebronto, Cavs going 7 games AFTER with Celtics that had Freshman/Rookie Brown and Tatum and didn't even have Hayward and Kyrie lmao

>>150854791
Imo the 2017 cavs were much better than the 2016

How?????

>>150854834
Eye test

>>150854841
kek, the actual reason is that Kevin Love was finally not averaging 8 points in the finals. But nah the Cavs were barely better

Checking this article

https://heavy.com/sports/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-austin-reaves-free-agency/

>“League sources say the San Antonio Spurs and other teams are keeping a close eye on Reaves’ free agency.”

This shit is so retarded its like teams want the second apron and I don't hate Wemby but holyfuck, a dynasty around him will look lame and forced, Spurs will practically gifted like 10 first round picks and still haven't even cracked the playoffs, mitch johnson is a shit coach,

Like if Wemby right now wants to get a taste of the playoffs and get his career going then OKC, Houston or Minnesota would be ideal for him to drop in and hoop as his highest skill level and he'd have help, not this shit with Alzheimer Pop in the front office and in a no-name city,

Mark my words Wemby will be another Garnett and probably end up in Boston or in the OKC rebuild if Chet and others gets hurt,

Houston has no fucking 3 point shooting, Reed got drafted last year, I think he'll break out hope to god with Green gone, but I feel like its taking longer for drafted players to break out, like remember Shaq or Lebron their first games the years they were drafted, they were hooping crazy, now you have Risacher dropping 2 points in a playoff game

Him breaking out is detrimental to Houston winning a ring, I heard his ceiling is Curry or Klay 2.0 so lets hope for the best

>>150855081

>SAS getting paid more than Giddey and Kuminga
Life is so unfair... T.T

He definitely did it. I base my entire belief on how the whole Kawhi/Spurs thing ended. There is no way that stuff goes down like that unless someone wasn't willing to pony up the free money. Shame that the Clippers are doing it for double free cause they won't get a chip out of it. At least the Spurs/Raptors tasted glory with Kawhi before his shit got worse. I wonder thought, is Kawhi just a happy idiot who goes along with his crime boss uncle or is he just living his dark tendencies out through him to save his own image?

It's all true. It all happened. The NBA is rigged. Silver knows everything. It's all forfeit.

A girl asked for my number and I said no. It got me thinking, there’s probably a different universe where I do accept, we get married and have children. My simple answer of “no” denied those hypothetical childrens existence, their childrens existence which would lead to an entire bloodline not being created because of the simple word “no” and multiple other butterfly effects.

Trae Pat Bev's takedown was really good. I'm usually in favor of role players, but Bev's role on the teams he played for wasn't that relevant. He also touched on the clickbait problem in the NBA. But one thing I take away from the NBA is that these guys work better without a script. Before he became a loudmouth shill, Arenas had some really good takes and even some good basketball commentary, but after he became a “professional,” he started spouting the most outlandish, dumb takes.

Look at the priveleg Klay gets bro.
If you watched this play btw it legit makes no sense. Have no idea why the defender didnt just stay on Klay
https://youtu.be/Em-MnvQAR2I?t=10m22s
You could say Klay pushed off, but it was such a weak pushoff and its not like its hard to fight off a screen from 6'3 Curry, but he was too late, like he lagged into Currys path then remembered last second hes supposed to be on Klay

To be fair, ive watched more of this video since the time I was supposed to post this last night when 4chan went down.

And he does make some contested shots of his own, he ironically misses this shot.

Also I noticed something was 100% wrong with curry in the 2016 playoffs. He misses nearly every open shot he takes, but for some reason makes more weird ass off the dribble contested shots than not. I hope I dont need to explain the often consistency problems that poses when you can't make the easier shots.

People make it seem like Klay saved them this game, but honestly they needed both Curry and Klay or they lose. You should have seen what this team looked like with Curry off the court other than in the 3rd (or was it fourth?) quarter when Klay got Hot and was just chucking shit as soon as he touched the ball, they legit could not create any space for themselves.

Makes me feel like the mythology this team gets where people inflate Dray and Klay to insane values acting like that team was "great". Is retarded. Besides defense (and even in this game thats questionable, especially klays, because westrbook just blows by all these guys constantly to the rim, honestly this game gave me more respect for Westbrook despite being an objectively ass player, he runs the entire offense even though he sucks at creating shots, charging to the basket and passing seems reliably enough)

https://youtu.be/Em-MnvQAR2I?t=23m6s
This is what the GODLY 73 AND 9 warriors with ELITE role players off the bench, Draymond BESTEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER that Curry is a merchant of, and Klay 2ND GREATEST SHOOTER thompson look like without Curry on the floor. Just look at all that space, look at all that insane gravity people talk about Klay having.

Btw, I just realized how bullshit all the "Curry isnt a true point guard because draymond and off ball blah blah blah" is. If you dont see this clip (watch till the end of the shot clock or however long you want really) and Understand why Curry is the only person than can handle the ball for extended periods of time on this team, and why he actually brings up the ball 90% of the time (and even when he passes the ball it often ends up back in his hands) then youre a literal subhuman retard disconnected from the actual game and consume basketball through narratives.

The simple truth is, I was an OKC fan, but when they lost games in the playoffs it was obvious what their weaknesses are. They’ve got great defense, but they don’t have a true movement shooter with gravity. Now would’ve been the perfect time to add a player like that, especially with where they struggled.

It’s cool to win a ring, sure, but making zero changes or additions is retarded. The last dynasty literally let go of 3–4 guys to get Durant and then added 2 stretch bigs. Meanwhile OKC, despite winning 68 games, went 7 games with a weaker Nuggets squad and a no-name Pacers squad. They’re gonna get fucked in the playoffs. Presti better count his blessings, because this is what gets GMs fired.

Could OKC repeat? Yeah, maybe. But once extensions kick in, they’re fucked. They got in their own way for no reason. They weren’t even paying luxury tax before the ring, for fuck’s sake. Look at this shit Chet Holmgren’s dumbass face does not deserve that kind of money when he’s played only a season and a half. The fucker is just Tacko Fall with a jumper

The Unions are the problem too, its unironic jewry in the sense of

"you can't take a cut to avoid having your team end up in the second apron because then a random team from a completely different conference will use that as a reason to lowball another player"

This whole supermax bullshit combined with the second apron hasn’t just ruined dynasties, it’s killing team competitiveness and their ability to actually win. Next season, when the extensions kick in, they might try to hustle under the second apron, but the biggest issue is not being able to trade 2+ guys. That means they’ll be forced to decline team options or just let players walk to get under the apron one way or another, and that’s gonna wreck the team’s image with fans.

"Like, where’s my football player on the court Lu Dort? Where’s my bald defensive beast Caruso? Where’s my 7-foot Half-black German iHart?"

The optics are just terrible. When these guys leave, it’s gonna make their close friends on the team start asking questions and pointing fingers. And yeah, a lot of that blame is gonna land on Shai, like, 'It’s your fault, you’re getting paid 60 million. That’s the salary of 3–4 dudes, and all you do is flop."

I keep explaining this to OKC fans but they have a NPC take of "oh they have picks" the point of picks is for trades dumbfuck, once the year passes, the pick is gone, seems like Presti's goal is overdevelopment of every rookie and that's a shit idea, some rookies just don't breakout quick enough

>>150854062
He was a championship vulture. Could come up clutch in big moments but he was a c-minus player most of the time and was maybe the fifth best guy on any of those teams. It's the hall of fame, not the hall of being on title teams where 90% of the heavy lifting was done by other guys.

Honestly, the basketball hall is such a shameless whore who will let anyone in for the most marginal of accomplishments so if people even have to debate whether or not you're in you probably shouldn't be in.

If Silver doesn't come down hard on Ballmer I don't see why any capped out team from this point forward wouldn't just sign every player to an "endorsement" deal from a team sponsor for whatever amount of money is necessary and then have the dude just shoot like one commercial so it's technically a real endorsement. If he can wipe his ass with the cap why shouldn't everyone else do it.

New FIBA ranking.
I usually dont pay attention to these bum rankings but Turkey rising 15 whole spots (should be 20 even) shows you how good the goon has become and hes only number 2 with a very close number 3.

Rare photo of Jokic talking to his horses via sign language

There was a little discussion around top 10 peaks this century and from the remaining top 10 names heres my ranking (1 season per player)
1-lebron 2018: not as good on defense as his rival season 2013 but overall superiorthrough experience and running an offende
2-shaq 2000 shaq at his best
3-jokic 2025
4-curry 2021 2016 is his most iconic season but he probably looked better because nobody knew how to adjust to him. 2021 is more refined and experienced. 2022 and 23 are also hot contenders but he had already lost a step by then despite improvements on defense
5-kd 2017, tough call between 17, 14 and 21. Going 2017 because he still had most of his athleticism, was a very good defender and an unstoppable scorer
6-duncan 2003
7-kg 2004
8-kobe 2006
9-d wade 2009, prefer him over 2011
10-giannis 2025. Overrated player that has done nothing remotely impressive since 2021

I mean, they were facing a beast OP miami with whatever was left of Butlers prime

and then after they lost Holiday in an attempt to give Giannis a second kobe-ish star only for Holiday to be the X-Factor in why Celtics got banner 18

>celtics for getting btfo by shitters while coping in the 2nd round proving their rang is fake

In all fairness, I said this prior, Celtics were dealing with a fuck ton of injuries so I think the loss was fair, give them credit for hitting 60 wins, meanwhile the makeshift Knicks superteam was 3rd seed with 31 losses and went 6 games with the Pistons and choked a 10 pt with a min left to the Pacers, Holiday had a mallet finger injury with his shooting hand, and hammy issues, Brown's knee was blown up and needed to be drained and invasively surgery on, Tatum had leg problems before the tear and a wrist injury and still came back to play against Orlando like a chad, Kristaps had tuberculosis and leg issues as well, Horford was old, Derrick White was the only healthy player on the team

>paul george for neglecting basketball duties while doin a 10k viewer podcast

That's Daryl Morey's fault for being retarded fat cracka and handing him 50 gazillion for no reason straight out of Free Agency, but couldn't do the same for Harden, PG literally broke his leg in half a decade ago, no doubt it comes back to haunt him, and why he's injury prone now, 76ers could just medically waive him, its legal for him to podcast sooo...,

>Kawhi for resting for the playoffs all year then getting first round exited anyway

I agree but at least Clips went 7 games with Nuggets meanwhile LeChoke is 8-1 against them in the playoffs in back to back years, it is unacceptable though for him to miss games but at least he pulls up and drops 20 pts no matter what and is useful on the court and doesn't need touches, unless LeFraud where the offense revolves around him

That suns team was just awful though, but KD is a retard for not wanting to be traded to wolves before feb of 2025 and being picky, cause he had the embarrassing part of his career on a awful team and in a shitty city and the last we saw of him was him rolling his ankle

>Warriors for giving Butler a max thinking they could win a ring with him only to get BTFO in the 2nd round

Curry missed some time, Butler fell on his ass in game 2 or 3 against Rockets

Curry got injured in game 1 vs Wolves, the hacking and hitting by the Rockets wore him down for certain,

>Lebron for getting gentlemen swept in the 1st round again

I never understood why people thought LeChoke and Fat Luka would ever stand a chance to Black Superman Jr and his squad, given the Wolves beat the Nuggets ALL regular season and bounced them out last year, same Nuggets who kicked Lakers ass in 5 and AD couldn't guard Joker at all

Reminder betting odds have Lakers beating Wolves in 5 for some odd reason and instead of that AR disappears and Luka and Bron play 40 mins and they refused to play Hayes

>>150874904

youre a FRAUDlike retard dumbass!!!! you just dont understand how great a season 2016 is, imagine putting 2021 in the same category. niggas have to make up an entirely new "t-they hadnt figured him out yet!!!!!!!" retarded cope excuse that has never applied to literally anybody else in the history of basketball to out him down, kys retard. It was unprecedented effiency, on unprecedented volume, unprecedented efficiency at the rim too, all of this while being 6'3. It will never be matched. It has never been matched. Fuck you its better than heliocentric Lebum 2018. Currys 2021 and 2023 seasons are ACTUAL seasons that are closer to Lebum 2018 barreling through the weak ass east, just minus the playoffs because Currgoat wasnt facing a weak ass east, while carrying some of the bummest teams ever. People insanely downplay that 2018 team to elevate that 2018 season for Lebum, but how can your team be that ass and still make it to the finals without either having zero competition or being better than seems. Currys team was a fuckung garbage play in team while having that insane season fuck you

So I've been sitting here gooning for hours with my junk sticking out of the hole in my boxer briefs. Suddenly, I notice blood all over my hand. I look down and there's blood all over my thigh. After some inspection, friction from my underwear had opened up a little pinprick-sized hole on my scrotum that I had been bleeding from for an unknown period of time, and there was a pretty considerable amount of blood. Cleaned/disinfected thoroughly and got it sealed up now with liquid bandage.
Moral of the story: don't goon for hours with your junk sticking out of the hole in your undies. Friction is a bitch. Lose the undies for hours-long goon sessions.
Fuck Chris Paul.
Fuck LeBron.
Wilt is the GOAT.

Stephen A. Smith says there are too many people who have never played the game acting like they know it all

“Unfortunately, on too many occasions, cats that didn’t play, they want to act like they knew it all on their own, when it’s impossible. I will never disrespect an athlete by acting like I know what people who actually did it know, I don’t know more. I know what I know. I can come at you from a scribe, from a pundit, from a commentator’s perspective. But I never disrespect, I always make sure you know, I don’t know what you know.”

MAAAAN this shit looks good, ive been looking for where I could get good quality snacks like these. Every month I treat myself to a big haul of like Candy and Chips. And ive noticed lately that not only do I not crave it as much as I used to (doesnt help that im broke) But it always feels like its missing something i between both flavours that is "meatier" without literally becoming a piece of food at that point.

I've theorized that either chocolate, or bakery type food like donuts are the answer. I dont usually bother with cookies because I dont like how cookies taste and theyre a mess to eat, with chips I can fit a whole chip in my mouth for the most part and eat in a way that the crumbs fall into the bag, with cookies, its a different story. But your cookies look like that soft ugly type that secretly SUPER tasty. Brownies look perfect too, not that dry prepackaged type. I actually love brownies I just havent been able to find good store bought ones, and I need storable ones.

Because for my snack haul I eat it over the course of a week or some days, not all at once.

>Giddey develops into a Luka-lite and averages 20–25 points per game on the Bulls next season, becoming OKC's biggest regret for trading him. The Bulls build around him, and in a few years, he leads them to another ring.

>Payton Pritchard averages 20 points next season on the Celtics, is crowned the reincarnation of Curry, and develops gravitational abilities. The Celtics trade Brown and build around Pritchard.

>Luka could've won if he actually had help on the Mavs last year in the Finals. Kyrie had PTSD from his former team, the rest of the cast was weak, and many games were close. The Celtics cast shot 40% from three, and beyond Luka, there was nothing the Mavs could do.

https://youtu.be/h5pTl8fOM2U
Curry looks so bad here...Compare this to the 2016 playoffs even when he was injured and its a night and day difference, barely touches the ball, barely brings the ball up the court, and even when he does, he passes it once with the most basic pass ever, then runs around the court, as the ball NEVER makes it back to him.
And like the 5 times it does (in 2 quarters) he misses every shot but 1. Whereas Durant just runs up to his spots and shoots the ball whenever he wants, and because he gets way more touches he even gets a couple of easy assists.

People will ALWAYS tell me whenever somebody says Curry was better than Durant during these years, that the only reason that could even be considered the case is because "LE EVERYTHING IS BUILT AROUND HIM, DA SYSTEM IS MADE FOR HIM!" but you know they dont actually watch ball, let alone the golden state warriors, or else theyd see this, or even just a cursory look at their playoff series on basketball references will show you how often curry is taking roleplayer amount of shots (like 13 to 16) and sometimes even letting Klay take even more shots.

Also listening to the announcers glaze Durant during this game when we ALL saw how he shit the bed in the 2016 playoffs with ZERO excuse of injury or anything. KD benefited from the warriors system in those years SO much more than Steph ever did its crazy. Free off ball movement to get easy assists and make him look less selfish than 2016 playoffs exposed him to be. Free general ball movement contributes to that too. It also helps that hes playing against a garbage defensive team in the Cavs, and doesnt have a Westbrook to charge to the basket and create for the entire team to take attention from him. So that instead of it being KD and Russ, it instead looks like the entire warriors team just exists to move the ball to him and fuel his shots.

>>150883978
The Kings and Suns were both in discussions with GS on a sign and trade and would give him a starting/featured role, which Kuminga wants, but won't get in GS. The Heat and Bulls were also talking with GS about him. Point is he has many suitors: He's a 22 y/o athletic wing who averaged 16 ppg the last two years in a non-featured role. He's an attractive addition to any team. Signing the qualifying offer gives him complete control of his future next off-season and he's likely to take that and should take that offer

>>150884225
Gotta put down the bottle: it just doesn't seeve you or anyone in any meaningful way. Put down the bottle and pick up your cross

I've said this before, but I wish the KD trade never happened, so that i never had to look at ugly games like this, and curry fumbling the fmvp in 2018 too that make his career look so shaky and conditional.

I'd rather just have been able to see him play things out on his own and truly redeem himself after 2016. So that I could know without a doubt, without a question, whether hes the difference or not.

And if hes not, I could be content in simply knowing that. But with his conflicting career. I strongly believe in him, but always doubt whether I should. He just has so much more games when hes looking bad and like hes doing nothing, and gravity is so hard to quantify, even in this game I watched, so far ive seen no contribution of gravity, and I think its because hes barely touched the ball, barely left an impression on the game.

>>150884578
No since Jokic will still be playing 40 minutes a night during close games anyways, and he can't playmake or act as a hub for the Nuggets system either. He's a slightly less washed DJ.

>>150884645
but in da yoffs he'll have to play 8-10 minutes...

>>150884730
but he can self create in the post and pass out of it a bit

If Durant was actually an unselfish playmaker, or even just a playmaker at all, hed make the pass to iggy here, who could pass it to an open Curry, and its a free 3...if not for the fact that Curry has been ass and worthless this game and Durant makes this charge to the rim anyway.

>>150884578
Yes he does move the needle. That's why Jokic called him and asked him to stay

>>150884738
