2016 was when life on this planet peaked.

fuck gaybe and fuck (you)

Muggsy bogues has given tens of millions of manlets hope they can make the NBA

>>151491875
nigga fucking sucked. but he didnt lose the 2016 playoffs as much as KD did. honestly watching westbrook looked better and his basic bitch passes were more value than KD forcing shots. And I hate to say this as a BROOK hater because BROOK fans are delusionally retarded

two more days

>>151492120
the thing those manlets forget is muggsy had giant tree trunk legs and could stop dudes in their tracks even if they had a foot and a half of height on him

if you want to be good as a manlet in the nba you need sanic speed and be able to squat 800 pounds

>>151492414
during the height of /nba/ ai slop, i had not considered a Mexican themed Westbrook. the regrets are real. he looks cool.

>>151492295
Luxembourg hated Westbrook. he posted a bunch of stats and box scores proving Westbrook was the sole reason why they blew that 3-1 lead to the warriors in 2016

>>151492336
Aren't some of the t2 guys in like euroleague manlets though

>>151492467
>proving Westbrook was the sole reason why they blew that 3-1 lead to the warriors in 2016
There is almost no way thats true. Atleast in Game 6, admittedly I didnt actually watch the entire series, but if they both had 3 bad games. I cant imagine it being all on him when hes handling the ball and playmaking while KD is just chucking shots cuz he cant do anything else other than some decent defense I guess.

>>151490882
They lost the Champions League final a la LeMickey in 2018 and 2022...

Nobody will talk about this, or maybe they will in about a decade or after Lebron retires, but everybody talks about how Jordan shut down the entire league for a decade with his two threepeats. Unironically, Lebron altered the entire league and forced everybody to create a superteam to stop him. I don't think there's been a point in NBA history besides maybe... Jazz in the 90s that built a superteam to stop a single player. But Lebron singlehandedly forced the 2017 Warriors into existence, same with the Rockets, Celtics, Thunder, Nets. All of them were a product of Lebron because he was unstoppable. Now that Lebron is about to retire, not in the playoffs as much, teams don't have to gameplan around a singular player.

>>151492677
Lebron only made a superteam because of Paul Pierce and the Big 3 Celtics tho

>>151492692
So he says

>>151492708
celtics allowed to do it but not lebron?

>>151492677
Wade & LeBron are on record saying that after Kobe got ring #5, that they needed to team up. So really it was about stopping the Kobe/Phil Lakers

>>151492777
It was going to happen regardless

Nba should get rid of the 5 second rule and let post players cook

who's stopping the thunder from going back to back?

>>151492919
I don't care that Charles Barkley backed down dudes from halfcourt, I'm with you, the 5 second rule sucks.

the jeets in my neighborhood wont stop letting off fireworks for ""diwali""

fuck chris paul.

>>151492952
It'll be shooting and lack of secondary ball handlers if anything (though Topic and Mitchell might rectify that, we'll see). Pacers unironically had them figured out in game 7: they were bating Shai into taking bad 3s and he was missing all of them. They just lacked an offense good enough to punish them for it without Hali. Shai looks like he's worked on his shooting over the summer and redeveloped his shot, and Jdub and Chet probably won't shoot as poorly since they won't be injured/coming back from injury, so they might be fine, but I'm hoping Presti makes a move for a true shooting 4 at the trade deadline to really make them unstoppable.

It’s kinda bizarre for the Nets to keep Wilson and Martin (almost 27) and cut Bufkin and Dariq (both 21 years old) in a year when the Nets are prioritizing a top 3 pick.

he's in your top 10 this season ?

>>151493010
Cam Johnson is the key

>top 10 highest paid
>5 of them don't have rings

>>151495348
yes but he's also massive, spindly, and apparently got even taller over the offseason

he's a massive injury risk so if his career doesn't go well it'll be because of that

>>151495366
6 of them because none of Curry's rings count

>>151495420
very true

>>151495420
So really 7 since if they don't count then KDs don't count?
Shai, Bron and AD the only ones with rings there?

LeXing and the Klutch mafia worked overtime this weekend and really organized an entire protest against the Sacramento Kings organization because of the westKING signing.

MILLIONS of brainwashed bronsexuals across the US and even Canada marched in the streets after they heard the news. Klutch propaganda is absolutely pathetic. I can't believe how many people fell for this. And these are the same brainless sheep who spam slurs like "westBRICK" on twitter all day. All this just because of a one-year, $3.6 million veteran minimum deal.

Fuck LeChina.

Russell Westbrook reportedly grew tired of LeBron’s “fake” behavior during their time in L.A, per @YaronWeitzman

“I hate that fake sh*t, I just can’t do it.”

• LeBron quietly pushed for a reunion with Kyrie Irving — a move that would’ve required trading Westbrook, despite publicly denying it.

• LeBron often said “Let Russ be Russ” in interviews but didn’t actually support him behind the scenes.

• During a Lakers team event where Will Smith came to speak, LeBron and AD suddenly walked out before he arrived. Minutes later, they returned acting overly friendly—LeBron dominated the talk, asking questions and quoting movie lines.

Westbrook, watching in disbelief, told a teammate after:
“I hate that fake sh*t. I just can’t do it.”

• Westbrook saw multiple examples of LeBron misrepresenting himself — like claiming The Godfather was his favorite movie but not knowing a single line, carrying The Autobiography of Malcolm X to interviews without being able to discuss it, and even saying he predicted Kobe’s 81-point game. These moments made Russ view LeBron as inauthentic

https://x.com/thedunkcentral/status/1980293952960893114?s=46

>>151497155
So there was beef between them, and caused westbrook to be semi blacklisted from the league.

>>151497155
>westbrick mad at lebron no team wanted him expect the dumpster fire kings
Kek, he’s gonna retire ringless.

>>151497155
Tell westbrick to stop shooting the shit off the backboard every possession instead of blaming others.

>>151497155
Why are y’all posting fake shit in here? Read the article. Russ didn’t say most of this.

>>151497216

It covers every bullet point in that list.

>>151498223
Stir that rice/sauce in a pot with a little butter/oil before serving for more even coverage of the rice bro.
Adding a little fat will also mean it will metabolize more slowly and thus not contribute as much to insulin resistance.

Mealanon carries the fuck out of these threads.

>Before his foot injury, LeBron James was still dominating the NBA in his 20th season in the league at age 38.
>Former MMA fighter Chael Sonnen has a theory why, claiming James takes performance-enhancing drugs.
>Sonnen claims he and James have "the same drug guy," adding that he and golfer Tiger Woods take "the big three" of EPO (erythropoietin), growth hormone and testosterone, a combination of enhancers he dubbed the "Lance Armstrong diet."
>"EPO matters; it’s the reason LeBron takes it. It matters," Sonnen said. "EPO increases your red blood cells, which gives you endurance so you can play all game long. You can shoot the fourth quarter just like you shot the fourth minute. It’s the king of performance enhancers."
>Back in 2013 an investigation into a steroid clinic in Miami found that a man by the last name Paul came in to pick up products for a man with the initials LJ. LeBron James initials are LJ and his agents name is Rich Paul. This was also a clinic that was tied to numerous MLB, NBA, and NFL players that got caught using steroids. There was also a lady that worked at the clinic that reported some of her co-workers were 100% that LJ was LeBron James.

The same thing that happened to tennis in the United States has happened to basketball.
The last time men's tennis was popular in the U.S. was the Sampras/Agassi era. There hasn't been a dominant American since, so the sport's popularity declined significantly in the U.S.
There has not been an American NBA MVP since 2018. Thus, popularity is declining.

>>151499473
Yeah, he seemed cool. Retarded for letting Kramnik in his head though. That silly old boomer literally calls everyone a cheater.

Personality is kinda of whatever look at at Jokic hes a dork but still fun to watch

>>151499497
being dorky is personality

>>151499493
Seems like his Jewish neuroticism got the best of him. Poor guy just couldn't handle the bantz.

>>151499497

I feel like he's only that because fans made him that though. He didn't really do anything that funny except a slightly awkward laugh. Tbh I think most of the time people just like a player and then convince themselves that the player also has a good personality.

Kobe is ranked so much higher than LeBrick all time its not even funny. People cried when Kobe retired from the game, but people will be CHEERING when Le4-6 leaves. What a contrast.

>>151501338
lmao good one

There's an old gif/webm of Shaq that used to be posted on /sp/. He catches the ball surrounded by 4-5 dudes then just leaps up in the middle of them and dunks it over all of them.
Anyone have it?

Westbrook is only on the kings so he can freely spam points to get to #1 on the point guard scoring list. Kind of based desu

>>151500847
25 mil is like 16% of the salary cap. If your team is just below the 2nd apron, a player making 25 mil will count like 12% toward the payroll. That's pretty solid for a 4th option, not too bad for a 5th option.

>>151499919

>>151500237
damn tbey hate d'angelo THAT much??????? starting a rookie who obviously cant handle the ball over him? even if theyre worried about defense, nigga they have 3 big defenders surrounding him?
the warriors were like a top 4 defense for 5 years straight (when they actually tried) and in 2022 with fuarking curry as their weakest link. So either Curry was NEVER as bad of a defender as people made him out to be. OR you suck as a coach and arent smart enough to maximize your offensive output while maintaining a high tier defense, if youre scared to play a PG surrounded by 4 defensive big dudes

>>151499875

>>151501644
You must be autistic or never had friends. He's clearly just fucking around with his teammate.

I really wish so many leafs didn't post here. Really kills the vibe.

How can Westbrook possibly think to blame anybody but himself?
Lebron obviously gives me that vibe of the kind of kid who was raised very strictly to avoid conflicts as much as possible, present respectfully, cordially, casually etc. Even when or if you feel otherwise. I was raised that way too. I eventually broke away from that view. If But I also don't like public attention and am not a star. Its very obvious that if you were raised that way and pushed into stardom before you were even 20, that you'd carry that through with you to navigate the stupid superficiality and appearance based nature of being famous and a public speaker.
If Westbrook genuinely somehow wanted to be friends with Lebron, I could understand, because you expect your friends to go to bat for you, and understand you despite your faults (seriously wtf was he thinking with that play? was he having some mental crisis? or just genuinely forgot they were up) but yeah whatever. This whole drama thing is so cringe all around. I dont care about the fake appearances Lebron puts up, hes not my friend. I don't need to obsess over his character unless he makes that interfere with basketball. And Westbrook...man what is wrong with you on the court? Its honestly sad at this point.

>>151501737
Kidd wants to develop Cooper's PG skills early, same thing he did with Giannis. Makes sense really. Dlo would take too many opportunities away from Coop, and he functions well off the bench.

>>151502139
well, we'll see if bus experiment works. It would make much more sense if cooper was more offensively capable than he is, most of the reason giannis' playmaking works is because of his offense.

Cooper is already way better offensively than rookie Giannis. He's better than rookie Tatum and Banchero too.

My family and friends are giving my subtle hints that they think I’m gay. I’m 21 and never touched a girl with no intention on getting a gf anytime soon.

What do I do? I’m not gay but I’m not getting a gf just to prove a point.

Holy shit Curry is going to get so many FTs.

https://youtube.com/shorts/ZI4g8GF7iwo
currdawg deserves 5 chips by now

>>151506993
they downgraded they upgraded they sidegraded they aced the test stfu dumbass fantasy basketball faggot
they went 7 games with okc playing guys 40 mins a night with no bench and a dying mpj who couldn't move his arm shooting up lidocaine
they went from just russ to problems figuring out who's getting time. with a bench to heal up going in and not kill the starters during the playoffs they have a great shot

Man. I just went an looked at that 2022 playoffs and holy fuck steph fucking sucked in that playoffs, and somehow Jordan Poolr suddenly became a basketball god that playoffs? I just dont understand. Did anybody watch those entire series who can explain why he was so good that entire playoffs? I know steph came back from an injury so I dont know how fair it is to tax him, but stuff like this gets factored when youre being considered for top 5 all time. Somehow, luckily, almost all the top 5 never suffered enough injuries to even have such bad games, still, because he went on to have an insane 2023 season where he near averaged 30, ill chock it up to injury

Also how the fuck did poole regress so fucking much in 2023 if he had that insane playoff series in 2022? So many questions, there has to be an explanation.

why the fuck are the lakers and warriors on opening night? This is why the league is dying

Why does Donovan Mitchell have 0 aura? He's good but nobody talks about him, nobody cares about him, nobody's ranking him on the top 7 MVP candidates. If it's the market then is Detroit more of a bigger base than Cavs because I've seen Cade get more love for MVP than Spida

>>151508239
who should it be?
>This is why the league is dying
Also thats objectively not true. You might be retarded, two of the most popular players in the entire league both #1 and #2 in jersey sales are on either team, are you fucking retarded?

>>151507707
They had a great team last season. Westbrook won 2 games against the clippers and 2 games against the thunder. They would have won the chip if everyone wasnt injured. They downgraded. Not sure why youre having a period

remember not to take the early parts of the season too seriously. plenty of teams miss the playoffs after starting hot for 15 games. wait until christmas before we start seeing who is real or not

>>151508511
untethered from reality
which two games did russ win against the thunder
as much as I like him, do you think putting your playoffs hopes through 4 series on russell westbrook is smart or sustainable
how often do you think they could make it through up to 14 more games without injury playing those minutes, considering both those injuries came during the playoffs

>>151499435
He makes the babbs and the jeets mad so I can't help but cheer for him

NBA starts tomorrow and literally no one cares

What went so wrong

>>151500682
why are we even thinking about this?
the roster is a fraud lineup who can't even keep up with OKC's third stringers

Please have another MVP level season steph! please! wash away all the doubts! all the fall off seasons! all the asteriks put on you unfairly! If anybody can do it I know you can! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLEEEEEEEEEEE!

>>151498479

>>151505390

>>151508867
Injuries are literally a fluke. It was the game with the clutch westbrook play. And the other game they actually lost cause westbrook left the game with injury and the nuggets blew their big lead. I misremembered but it would have been a win if he played the fourth.

instead of gambling on 1 vet min guy you can prevent that collapse with a real bench so exhausted players don't play 42-44 minutes

RBL WE OUTCHEAAAA

>>151510189
I should have said "if youre going to be considered for top 5" there are lot of people that still dont even have steph top 10.

i would appreciate anyway if a ball knower can explain that 2022 playoffs.

>>151510075
I feel like the regular season is just a long pre season nowadays
At least until Jan/Feb

How the fuck is Neismith only worth 20m a year???

>>151510801
Because until proven otherwise they are systembabbies

>>151510552
Poole was always ass he just looked nice in 22 because he had a green light and played next to Curry. Celtics would have beat the Warriors had Kerr not benched him in the finals.

>>151510471
Im not disagreeing with that but replacing MPJ and Westbrook with Cam, Bruce Brown, and THJ is anything but an upgrade

>>151511174
The narrative change around MPJ because he's putting up numbers on a tanking team is hilarious. He was a major bum last season for his max contract

>>151511046
I believe you, and this was my thought, that he was just benefitting from gravity and likely underrated by the opposing team, Because he played way more minutes in that 22' playoffs than virtually any other playoffs.
But also he was INSANELY lucky, if it was just lucky for that playoff run. Insane, consistently like 65% true shooting throughout that playoffs. Something else must have been going on, because the drop off from 22 to 23 is legitimately despicable.

>>151511174
it's replacing mpj and westbrook and saric with cam, bruce, thj, valanciunas
a real backup for jokic, thj and strawther gives you more gambles on a bench shooter getting hot, bruce runs pg letting murray sit, and cam johnson is 70-80% of an mpj while also giving you offensive versatility for starters and bench lineups, and he costs half the money
I think the team is better overall, but even if you disagree you must see it's less reliant on single points of failure. less put on the starters through the regular season and playoffs. less put on mpj having a hot shooting night, because if he wasn't hitting 3s he was basically iced out and waiting for rebounds. less gambling that 37 y/o russ will randomly win a game instead of giving one to the twolves. I'm excited to watch the nuggets and not count the seconds until the starters come back in and try to take back the lead the bench just threw

>>151511046
bullshit
but his career will never be the same since he lost all his love for the game from what happened to him
he's only here for the checks now
imagine getting backstabbed by your entire organization and the league and getting shipped to the shittiest team in the league all at once.

>>151511444
I'm excited to see all the wacky lineups Adelman will bring out. Twin towers with Jokic and Val vs the bulce was crazy. Cam Johnson is a ? Vs MPJ but even 70% of MPJ + added depth is a much more solid team. Watson looks like he might take a leap too

>>151511511
wtf are you talking about? poole was an insane negative on defense, and shit the bed like crazy in the playoffs even before the organization "betrayal" also anybody is retarded if they though they were giving up fucking draymond for poole. draymond is the entire teams defense.

>>151506964
Horford is a lock because the HOF is going to count for his Gators b2b

Asking again - does the plastic bag trick work for getting your handles good? Picked up ball again and I stink

>>151511273
His regular season stats were fine. He was injured all playoffs. It’s not like murray and jokic ever gives up the ball for MPJ to handle it. He shot 40% sitting in the corner. Boshs stats all went down too as the third option.

>>151511795
Horford is like a 10 points per night roleplayer. He's Draymond who can shoot threes but is much worse at everything else. He's got like 5% chance of making the hall.

>>151511444
I honestly forgot about jonas thats how washed and a non factor he is. I’d say at full health it’s a downgrade and with injuries it’s a sidegrade at best. Dont forget Bruce Brown is washed to fuck now.

>>151511941
>>151506964
None of you understand how low standard the basketball hall of fame is.

>>151511941
The hall accounts for non-league accolades, just ask Billy Donovan

>>151512049
Low standards, and still no one from the shitty 2000 class makes it

>>151511960
hmm, valanciunas or dario saric or deandre jordan. hard choice. he's an actual nba player who can maybe even get playoff time vs the right teams vs bigs or to keep ag/jokic from burning out
and bruce was mysteriously washed as soon as he left denver, even "washed" bruce will be useful
>>151511535
yeah watson, strawther, braun still getting better, holmes if he pans out. way more hopeful this offseason than I have been since the chip. just praying adelman isn't a fraud that just made it work for a bit

What's it taste like?

>>151512352
ain't' he shill gambling and stuff too
kinda unnecessary, he's gonna get like 500m+ before he retires in salary

>>151512151
There's no point in arguing with that retard

>>151512423
He will get half of that after taxes anyway. I think unironically, he is doing that to fund his horseracing. btw what's stopping ballmer to buy him unlimited horses in 2026-2027?

OKC got away with that shit all season and for several series

>>151513129
They adjusted to the physicality and imposed their will on the game, like every great team before them. Only the Pacers were able to match their physicality and give them a run for their money. Memphis, Nuggets, and Wolves all tried to match them but they were just too mentally soft. Jokic got one game of the Tony Allen on KD experience and he crumbled mentally.

>>151513157
You might as well setup an online notepad and start linking it. It's always the same argument and the same handful of images from you.

>mfw when im worried i may have to become a shai fan if curry doesnt get the chip in the next 2 years because hes never getting cemented in top 5 otherwise, and he'll always be my favourite player but I wont be able to rate him as highly as i feel.
sigh who else is there for me to look forward to other than shai. i dont like anybodys game in the current nba, i actual really like Murrays game and layup package, but hes a inconsistent fraud and injury prone

>>151500237
He was effectively the point guard at Duke, I don’t know why people think this is some outlandish thing to do. He probably won’t be good at it, but Luka is the exception for being a good point guard while a teenager

https://youtu.be/faNoBaj-3as?t=33m22s
Some extra Curry glaze for my /nba/ fans. Curry was always good. This idea that he was a systems baby, that he needed stacked teams. Thats he cant work on ball. Its all wrong. If steph Curry had been more fortunate with injuries, for himself and his teammates. He'd be the greatest basketball player (success wise) of this generation and while people would still put Lebron over him overall (because somehow steph needs 6 rings to match Lebrons 4, yes i know Lebron adds more value defensively, hes fucking 6'9 and not a lanklet or retard no shit) but he would have owned the first 25 years of this century.

>>151513661
>he was a systems baby
that's always been levied at Kerr innit

>Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith has agreed to a two-year, $40.4 million contract extension with the franchise through the 2028-29 season, plus a trade kicker
What a steal

>>151512151
Spencer Jones probably will see more play time than Holmes.
Adelman will be a major improvement over Malone. This is going to be a fun season, just realize it’s going to look real clunky for a bit.

>>151513724
No, they use Kerr to discredit Curry, since most normies only knew about Curry once he started peaking with Kerr, even though they already made it to the playoffs twice without Kerr, and Kerr missed nearly half of the beginning of the 2016 season and they were still on pace to beat the regular season record.

>>151513933
Apparently I know a little about ball. News to me.

>>151511535
I can’t believe how much deeper this team got after a season of watching Jokic have to swoop back every other game when the lead would predictably crater during bench minutes. Just seeing the guys look like they’re actually enjoying themselves makes me so happy.

Ben Simmons is still an unsigned free agent

>>151513996
I don’t think it’s certain that those depth pieces will look like rotational players come playoff time though. I liked the MPJ-Johnson trade, but I think their other acquisitions have been a bit overhyped. Against teams like OKC, Val may well be just as a big of a drain in the non-Jokic minutes as DJ was, and Brown may well be just as big of an offensive black hole as Russ was. THJ should be fine though

>>151514076
I find it personally too early to make playoff predictions. My takes only cover the regular season.

>>151514198
Fair enough, although Val and Brown being liabilities can be a regular season thing too, it’s just less of an issue against generally worse teams

Good morning. There are NBA hoops on tonight. Everything will be ok.

>>151514207
I suspect they’ll figure it out. I’m not stressed about it. We got so many new toys, coaches included and I’m just excited to see them be able to try new things. Appreciating what we have right now, which is so much more than I was expecting back a few months ago, watching this team get swept by the Wizards.

We are so back /nba/ bros

I'm ready to ball let's go

My washed king LeBron isn’t playing tonight how do I cope as a 30 year old

>>151514301
Yeah that’s true, it’s definitely more than I was expecting too

10/21: It's that time of the year where bookies run and hide. Two winning years in a row, and I'm targeting 60% for this season. That's the goal. We're gonna go light the first two weeks, but you know I had to do both games on Opening Night. Without further, let's smash those bookies.

>Thunder -6.5
Thunder were the best ATS team of all-time last year. They're home tonight on Banner Night at a fairly hefty price. But I think this line tells you what you need to know. We also fade Kevin Durant teams as much as possible, as I don't think there is a single more over-valued player in the league. OKC is bringing back pretty much the entire team, while the Rockets still have to figure out their new identity. OKC at home. Banner Night. Let's not overthink it.

>Lakers ML (+125)
No LeBron. No problem. We're getting good value with LeBron being out. Real /nba/ heads know that Lakers are better when he's "injured". Lakers as underdogs at home. I can't pass that one up. You can grab the 3 points, but for me, I'm taking them to win outright for some good plus odds value.

Good luck, and don't bet what you don't have.

>>151515507
I think Durant going to get a lot of ball in his hand and put up good stats while playing losing basketball so betting on over 32.5 point+rebound+assists while it's still under value.

Who had the better career to date, Carmelo or Paul George? Discuss.

Basketball is officially back but the thread is dead. What killed the hype?

>>151515676
Average nba fan doesn't know the season starts tonight.

>>151515675
Carmelo is incredibly overrated. All time loser player.

>>151515699

The celtics are going to try and trade for Bam

>mavs chose dlo over wedtbrook
>dlo benched before season even starts for a rookie that doesn’t play pg

My Bulls? Thinking we got that 10th seed on lock.

Lookikg back at it the 2006 finals mustve been particularly bad for mavs fans. Comfortably won the first two, then lost 4 in a row with 3 of those losses being 3 points or less in diffrence. The whole series, the heat only scored 6 points more

>>151515668
>on over 32.5 point+rebound+assists
I don't do props, but this is probably a solid pick considering Rockets are starting Amen Thompson at point tonight. Durant will probably be taking on a lot of the point guard duties.

>>151496516
Snus are delusional. Also, Nike is delusional. Gave him is own shoe.

>>151517420

>>151517420
Jdubbie still got his wrist in stitches, Joe is out too
Thundies can easily shoot themselves an empty clip

thread is very dead considering the season starts in some hours

today I will remind them

Am I the only Pelicans fan on /sp/? Wondering what your guys thoughts are on the Pelicans this year. Will they suck? Underrated? Comeback season / playoffs?

I'm not optimistic personally. Too many question marks with this roster, but if the team isn't successful it's going to have to be a rebuild soon and we don't even have our first round pick next year because of the Derik Queen trade.

>>151517622
I'mma be honest, I don't even know who's on the team besides zion and the little mexican who always does those sneaky steals.

I havent watches basketball in a long time, can somebody spot me a stream/link for tonight games ?

>>151517622
They'll be better than last season, but will still miss the playoffs

>>151517688
How can you forget my nigga Jordan Poole

>>151517622
I don't know what the Pels are doing and I don't think they do either
Zion being fat and injured really fucked up their process

>>151517712
I forgot about that, guess they're all in on the tank.

>>151517688
Zion
Jordan Poole
Trey Murphy III
Dejounte Murray who should be coming back from his achilles tear last year
Kevon Looney
Herb Jones

Those are the most notable guys. Saddiq Bey, Jose Alvarado, Yves Missi, rookies Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen round out the roster.

On paper it's not the worst roster if Zion stays healthy. Looney is already out a few weeks so Missi will start at C.

>>151517732
He's not as fat anymore, feels like I have this conversation every year though but Zion does unironically look slimmer now and he seems to have put in some work in the offseason. Just need to stay healthy (again).

>>151517633
whats wrong with dude? if youre his son how do you interpret this?

>>151517622
Most like the pels, few truly love them. Full health pelicans are scary though

does /nba/ play this bullshit? how do I improve this?

>>151517622
they have some nice talent, but letting Zion/Poole run your team is some spooky shit. They also can't be worse than last season so that's a plus

>>151517622
Your roster construction is cancer and you will be bad unfortunately

>>151517778
Just can't see them getting close to the playoffs in the west.

>>151517797
Is this fantasy basketball?

>>151517820
If they don't play their rookies and Zion stays healthy then it's plausible. I doubt either of those things will happen though

>>151517870

Best thing about the NBA coming back is that I have a thing to watch before going to sleep
Other than that there are almost no interesting stories going on

>>151517958
Correct. Celtics chose Antoine walker. Remember that garnett was the first high schooler to enter the draft in 95 since Moses Malone. So nobody really knew if they could make the jump. Then they did and we had all those bums drafted until they instituted the 1 year rule in 2006 onwards.

Yeah I'm just not feeling the hype this season. All the oldheads are injured, washed, or on mid teams. This new crop of "stars" just ain't doing it for me.

>>151518813

Meal. It’s apple cider. Lemon pepper spice

>>151520612
Weapschizo, inceltic, bulgaria and Lectivius may have left, but the damage they caused to this place cannot be undone

>>151520668
Is that pasta with a sauce made out rice

>>151520612
I blame Silver
You have to have 5 different subscriptions just watch all the games of your team

>>151510189
btw nice cookie cutter all timers!
the best starting 5 of all time would be
pg: penny hardaway
sg: reggie miller
sf: dirk nowitzki
pf: tim duncan
c: Arvydas Sabonis
6th man: nikolo jokic

and dirk nowitzki is the best weapon the nba has ever seen.

>>151520668
Gross. I'd rather the croissants and doughnuts over this.

Pg did more for the clippers than kawhi...

Sorry, but nobody's beating this team. Defense wins championships.

C - Wemby
PF - Garnett
SF - Kawhi
SG - Jordan
PG - Payton

>>151520668
my meal looks way better than your slop desu

>>151521117
Jokic, Dirk, Bird, Luka, Nash are frying them ngl.

Embizzle might be kinda healthy

>>151520668
That spaghetti is so dry it looks like AI. Mix the sauce thoroughly bro

>>151500208
I wouldn't go that far but I'm at the very least confident in the first game tomorrow

>>151520037
50 cocks sucked, 40 anal penetrations and 90 STD's?

i just read the script…. luka puts up 48/12/8
do with that info what u will…

my dumb ass thought the warriors were playing at home today lol

why are the dubs bet favorites to win this game anyway

>>151521119
Yours looks worse

NBA really fucked up by not doing a Mavs/Lakers opener.

Less than 3 hours until NBA is back

I just found out that Freddy Jihad is out for the season

>>151520037
why is she demonic and homosexual

What happened to Nomad?

>>151521331
But enough about me

My rockies better finna let my boy Reed shine

Holy fuck the nuggets couldnt even secure a game in the first two days LOL

>>151522172
Joker just needs a little more rest

How is mitchell robinson hurt

>>151519135
All injuries are factored into the spread.

I solved the fentanyl crisis and the thunder salary issue in 1 day

There are games on tonight and this place is fucking dead

>>151521331
Is that how Luka lost so much weight?

>>151522423
no he stopped drinking beer

>>151522385
Thunder and Lakers don't move the needle anymore. Only >my Pacers move the needle anymore.

>>151522385
The league honestly shouldn't even have preseason games.

As soon as Luka is out for an extended period of time, he will get fat again. People don't change, man. It's a honeymoon phase. He will be back to his old ways soon enough.

>>151521832
Would overshadow OKC, save the Mavs-Lakers story for another time

My friend is in jail for beating up a tranny, fuck

>>151522465
The culture of fitness in Los Angeles is different than in Dallas I reckon
Even if he gets fat again it wouldn't be the end of the world, the Mavs might've had a chance against the Celtics if Luka wasn't injured, and Kyrie didn't shit the bed every time in Boston
And the Lakers aren't winning anything this year anyway

>>151522385
Because Jokic isn’t playing. This board is fueled by both Jokic stans and haters and conversation here dwindles to nothing unless he’s on the court. And even when he’s not playing anons are obsessed with him.

>>151520017
30 years ago you'd probably have to pay $250 to watch the 75 or so televised games available

>>151522593
im watching the 1996 wcf game 7, take me the fuck back. everything seemed so soulful back then...

>>151522447
why? I might agree but it seemed a particularly dire need this off season, I dont think ive seen so many preseason talks and coverage before

So haliburton just permanently DIED and we're supposed to start the season like normal and move on?

>>151522860
Yes. He was always a side character anyway. Nobody really cares.

>>151522860
Caitlin could put fragrance sample strips in her pits and sell them for $1,000,000 each

How to cope with going bald? I'm only 22. I'm also 5'8". Really feels like it's over for me. Feel bad.

Why are Bronsexuals so obsessed with Russ?

Who's excited to hear Round Ball Rock on TV for the first time in 23 years?

oh god this nbc crew, wtf amazon crew is way better than this

i hope for a new (unofficial) nba refereeing directive tonight

last season sga dishonestly flopped through the whole season, leading to millions of viewers tuning out of the finals, if adam silver doesn't make a stand you'll see every superstar flop all over the place and make the nba unwatchable

We back /nba/

>>151522919
Sports fandom is the biggest male cope there is so you’re already there I’m afraid

>>151522969
Yeah I think the flopping is going to get worse now that contact after the shot will be called.
Everyone who gets hit on the wrist/forearm after the shot is gonna flop.

>>151522933
Because russ has been throwing shade at him even though russ was dogshit and a baby backed bitch for the lakers

>>151522969
>leading to millions of viewers tuning out of the finals
not really true unfortunately im pretty sure atleast one of the finals games broke a record or something, atleast of the 2020s. the Haliburton narrative was too strong.

>>151522952
Carmelo isn’t bad

>>151522933
Fuck both of them.
Bron is a racist, communist, PED-abusing narcissist.
Russ is a dress-wearing, fashion-designing homosexual.
Fuck Chris Paul, too.

>>151522860
>So haliburton just permanently DIED and we're supposed to start the season like normal and move on?
Yea man it's terrible.

>>151522553
> when that post nut clarity hits and you realize you just sucked off a man
I get it, but that’s no reason to beat someone up. Nobody made him do it.

how many times will nbc talk about draftkangz

what if this is good?

>turn on the tele
>roundball rock starts playing

BAN KAWHI NOW

NBA is finally back, thank GOD
