Why isn't Lamelo good at defense? He's huge for a point guard.

2 minutes into the game and Chetty already got postered.

VJ GOAT

the hornets have talent but they feel really unserious

>lose 30 pounds in the offseason
>average 46 pts per game
Who else could benefit from significant weight loss? Zion is said to have lost 40 lbs, but his numbers seem to be the same

VJ is a massive bitch for choosing #77. That's Luka's number dawg.

>>151604571
blame lowry

Embiid still flops as usual i see

Emsneed is back

prayin on another loss

Getting back into the Sixers after a few years. Ready for flashes of brilliance followed by playoff basketball that'll make me want to hang myself.

>>151604509
Same reason as why Luka is poor on defense. Lack of effort

>>151604556
>Zion is said to have lost 40 lbs, but his numbers seem to be the same
Tbf he was up against a 7'4 giant

>>151604571

that's dawg shit tho

Chetty is COOKING

VJ EDGECUM WITH THE ALLEY OOP LAYUP

i understand sometimes its hard to tell but damn sometimes it feels like people abuse kickball rules

patrick williams of all people is cooking

the sixers are lob city now?

chet going for 40 tonight

CHETTY IS COOKING

embiid-maxey-edgecombe trio looks tight as fuck

>>151604807
wonder how they might look with pg

the people "surprised" about reed sheppard underperforming must've had their heads in sand when people were discussing that 2024 draft, everyone knew that whole draft was garbage

it's only now that we're seeing one decent player (kyshawn george) actually come out and separate himself from the pack

i predict stephon castle won't last long, he had nine turnovers

Thoughts on the Magic rebrand?

What is the deal with the nba regular season and the in season tournament desperately trying to wring out any interest? I'm seeing that players don't even care anymore, what's the deal? Viewership plummeting so hard that the ball players feel like they're playing for no one?

>Who else could benefit from significant weight loss?
I know who could benefit from weight gain

I don't know why i thought Kelly Oubre Jr is a vet, apparently, he's pretty new. But the only thing i know about him is that he got hit by a car twice...

>>151604863
I think they hired the clippers logo designer

>>151604556
If Harden got back to prime shape, he'd killing teams every game instead of just 1/4 games.

Shai's 3 point shot is completely gone. People are gonna start sagging off of him soon enough.

fuck off magic marketing intern

Embiid looks less cooked tonight.

>>151604556
ionno prlly chet

>>151605148
Hawks, Sixers, and Wolves are good. Rest are generic slop.

>>151605148
The circle logo is a requirement by the nba. Blame silver

>>151604556
Not many. Most players sticcmaxx so they can dunk and defend the perimeter better.

>>151604837
worse

>>151605227
Silver and his consequences has been a disaster for ball.

What tf is going on in boston?

60 million a year superstar in on minutes restrictions and instead of saving him for the final quarter they play him in the first half

Yeah, Embiid should just stick to shooting 3s from now on

Embiid is still a monster offensively but you can tell his body has fucked up his defense.

>>151604556
fat luka put up crazy stats too. its more about durability and being able to play defense

>>151605288
what about with mccain
>>151605417
idk i dont think hes going to push his body like that at this point in the season

>>151605365
It's better to use him in the beginning so he is fresh off of all his pregame warmups and treatments.

>>151605445
>idk i dont think hes going to push his body like that at this point in the season
That's fair, one of the reasons Embiid is hurt so much is that he constantly throws his body around in random regular season games.

Holy, Edgecum is definitely winning ROTY if he keeps playing like this

>>151605526
it would be better to trade him to whatever team can afford it

the hornets still fucking suck which means the nets sucj even worse somehow

Dort playing thug ball but then flopping at the slightest contact is disgusting

lmao Embiid is so shameless when it comes to flopping. Just falls down at the slightest bump

>>151605643
they literally can't miss, what are you talking about
the sixers are scoring at will and can't pull away because the hornets have hit basically every shot

>>151605445
>what about with mccain
better

>>151605526
>pre-game treatment
lmao

>>151605689
he literally has one and a half knees

sixers and hornets both look very good rn

>>151605636
He has the worst contract in the league now. There is no trade to be made.

>>151605904
He did that at his healthiest too

Ugh, that pizza has been disagreeing with me all day

magic really needs a proper 3rd
wendell is not it

>>151605365
I don't think you're looking at it the right way
They clearly have a plan with him
Whether you think it's a good plan, it's okay to doubt because of Embiid, Morey and Nurse's reputations by now, they haven't earned trust
But I'd say they are absolutely just bringing him along slowly with low stress minutes. He's definitely been told or is voluntarily not jumping and contesting things like he used to, and they're using him in low-pressure first half minutes at this point in the year instead of using him in the 4th
I think if this means he can work his way back slowly and be healthier late in the season, I'm all for it. No point in blowing his load this early in the year
the old way wasn't working, so I'm all for trying something new, but if you think it's stupid that's your prerogative because they've earned the doubt

Paolo is dogshit breh

the hornets announcers are giving me secondhand embarrassment

>>151606341
People called me a madman...

I do not like watching the magic play. A shame because I was gonna root for them

Wasn't there some retard here saying how Johntay Porter wasn't involved with the Mafia? The indictment shows he clearly was. NBA knew about it too

>>151606263
Embiid is going to flop like a retard again and injure himself or edgecum

Maxey + McCain + VJ are definitely the future of 76ers, but then idk how they can work with a 3-guard lineup

>>151606263
>I think if this means he can work his way back slowly and be healthier late in the season

Nobody is "healthier" at the end of the season quite contrary EVERYONE is just banged up from the accumulated minutes and quite insane schedule. Saving him up for later means the team finishes lower in the standings. I think his knees are just so fucked up they can't take a lot of minutes before it baloons and needs to be drained. the sixers just need to bite the bullet until his contract expires

>>151606510
Trade Maxey for a wing.

want brewskies, wings, and chips but too lazy to walk 10 minutes to the store

>>151606546
I realize he's past his prime, that's not my argument
I'm just saying if you use him in low-stress minutes early in the season and sit him on the second night of back-to-backs, he won't be as dead come playoff time
I get what you mean, he won't be "healthier," but h won't be as worn down. As in, instead of going from 75% healthy to 30% healthy throughout the season as usual, if you don't use him as much, he might be from 75% to 60%. It's not ideal, but there's no way around it, he's on a huge contact and they HAVE to try something different instead of just letting him die every year by Christmas

>>151606510
Play Jared McCain as a Lou Will type bench player, add some 3&D, and go from there

>>151606591
Curious, why maxey and not mccain or vj?

>>151606694
Because he's small.

I miss Jalen Smith

>>151604863
A lot better without going crazy. They did a good job.

>>151606709
say what motherfucker

>>151606691
Yeah, one of them is gonna have to come off the bench

>>151606709
Fair enough

SGA mid range game is only second to Jordan

>>151606685
What's his official injury anyway? He's had 8 months to clean his knee that's almost like coming back acl or achilles tear

>>151605128
Poor Giddey. They’ll be talking about that incident 35 years from now! Kek

I need Embiid to get 4 REBs and he may not get it. Does that fat fuck not even go towards the rim anymore?

>>151606780
No one cares, gamblefaggot. You are a blight on sports.

>>151606780
Why would you make a bet on Embiid with minutes restriction

>>151606854
why do you like Trae Young

>>151606884
I respect manlet guards

>>151606773
Ostensibly to "recover" from arthroscopic knee surgery for a torn meniscus
I'm a longtime enough Sixer fan and Embiid knower to realize between his back, foot, gastroenteritis, and orbital bones, he's just going to be injured, there's nothing we can do about it
Just playing him less minutes and giving him more rest increases the chances he'll be healthier later, but we need to keep him active and running around or he'll get fat and out of shape

Why is CHET so good but also bad at the same time?..

>>151606975
He gets in a rhythm, starts playing like an All-star, then gets injured and starts all over again

>>151606932
There are so many you could choose from besides Trae Young. He's a weird ugly little flopper that is almost certainly a sex offender. I will link this post when he is outed as a sex offender.

>Bulls beat magic by 12
>Cavs almost blew a 25 point lead to the Nets
Knicks are the only top 3 east team that hasnt had an embarrassment of a game and we're only 3 games into the season. Not to mention the Knicks are not the caliber of team that should be considered the top contender in a conference. We knew injuries were gonna make the East wide open this year but holy shit it looks fucking open. Orlando has been overrated the last few years btw and even if it's open they're definitely not in the same tier as the knicks and cavs as of now

Suns defense is so bad. Dillon Brooks has surprised me on offense though

the hawks aint the niggas they claimed to be

Chokić 0 points

nipple is the real great white hope

OKC can't keep getting away with it.

I thought Bane would give the Magic enough talent to win even despite Paolo but Paolo's just too much of a handicap I'm afraid.

Can you make a contender level team with only whites? I don't remember there being this many good white players in the league 10+ years ago.

I'mma be honest, edgecum looks more like tatum than flagg. Can shoot, defend, playmake and hustle. If he's 4 inches taller, he'd be the perfect point forward

I mean we've known it's rigged since Donaghy.
None of us believed David Stern when he said it was an isolated incident.
The real redpill is realizing the magnets are real.

friendly reminder this isnt the first time someone close to lecheat was caught doing shady gambling shit

if you had money on a jokic triple double you have won

>>151611028
One irrelevant bench player tanking his own stats in one meaningless game doesn't prove the entire league is rigged. You're really dumb.

lol short people

Look at all the little kids in here trying to deny the NBA is rigged like as if there isn't overwhelming evidence it is. They literally spent millions of your tax dollars and 4 years investigating this league for gambling and rigging. Even if it somehow wasn't rigged and everything was legitimate, how the fuck do you still watch this hot garbage 3 point nonsense? It's literal garbage

i came a dickwidth away from putting a band on a jokic 40 piece glad i didnt do that in hindsight lol

>put in the bare minimum
>still an all time performance

>>151611371
>betting Jokic to score a lot against a shitter team
Jokic will always go pure PG mode against inferior opponents

>>151611371
suns center rotation is garbage (why they opted to get both of the hornets centers is beyond me) but why would jokic be motivated to statpad a 40 piece on booker + fringe nba players hes not embiid

>>151611367
A coach giving someone inside information about lineups is not "rigging" the game.
A coach being involved in a poker scam has nothing to do with "rigging".
The only proof of any kind of "rigging" whatsoever that came out of this investigation is one irreverent bench player faked an injury and left the game early one time.

>>151611455
>trade for the Hornets center rotation
>still start Oso Ighodaro at Center instead
Combined with having both Jalen Green and Booker at the same time, this is just an absolutely inefficiently built team

Honestly I dont really understand why these crazy variance games seem to happen more now than ever before (could just be literal recency bias from me tbf) But its honestly crazy how streaky shooters can be. Legit makes no sense. And it always seems to be the catch and shooter roleplayers with almost no other responsibilities besides maybe defense, that are the most streaky

>>151611911
You still haven't answered why he was playing in the 4th while up 15, and why he was still in the game 5 minutes later while up 20. But let me guess!

He understands the other teams plays. Jokic shows you don't need athleticism to be successful at basketball. Obviously it'd better to be athletic. But the old man at the Y game can always contribute if not dominate

Get shai out of there

You know, the more I think about this, the more I realize that all pro sports leagues have been compromised since the social media revolution begun and this FBI thing might turn into the biggest scandal in US history real fucking quick.

Every pro athlete is friends with every other pro athlete thanks to social media. They do everything together and it's really easy to organize. It is everything you imagined being a pro athlete is like when you were 12. Play vidya, go bar hopping, fuck the same escorts, play poker games in someone's mancave, all have matching supercars, buy houses next to each other, etc.

Illegal poker games and even charity softball matches could theoretically be (not saying they definitively are) just fronts for getting the boys to meet in person and trading inside info for gambling purposes so you don't put it into text and incriminate yourself. Ever wonder why so many of these athletes start charities, and get other athletes to make guest appearances? Why they start podcasts and have guests from other teams on? what do you think they talk about when the mics aren't on?

This shit was in front of our eyes the whole fucking time. Did it ever occur to you that it was kinda weird how rivals could be best friends off the court, and what they might say to each other when drunk in someone's basement playing poker, and how that info might get disseminated throughout all of their connections?

The Simpsons even mocked it in the 90's when Kang and Kodos mutated into the US presidential candidates and held hands walking down the street. This is pro sports.

What went wrong?

>>151613627
you can't say that when shit like >>151613645 happens
the only reason the nuggers won the * is because jokic was automatic from beyond the arc that year
whatever the fuck happened to his shot this year is what's going to be the nuggers' downfall

>>151613717
I think hes like 2-10 already

guys KCP is so fucking washed KEK

mark williams is on the suns what the fuck. poor dude

>>151614506
You wouldn't have made it out of the first round if Naz Reid and Mcdaniels weren't injured lolcow. Facts don't care about your feelings.

>>151614508
How else would you judge it? In what world is beating a bum ass 8th seed Heat team without Herro an amazing accomplishment? The west hasn't been that weak since then, and thus Jokic has not made it out of the second round since. He probably never will again until the Nuggets find a way to win games without the heliocentrism

>>151614566
Win totals are affected by league parity. An 8th seed in the 80's is not equivalent in relative strength to an 8th seed today. The talent pool in the league today is much deeper and much more evenly spread out.

>>151614615
>The talent pool in the league today is much deeper and much more evenly spread out.
Not really when you have over half a dozen tanking teams every season.

>>151614566
I said it before and you never replied, how aren't you a lolcow when you're the person here who always spergs out and gets laughed at the most?
>23' naz reid
Lol yeah that's much worse than Pacers star player on the most clutch run in recent history blowing out his achilles and nearly losing g7 to a Nuggets team with no bench, injured players and overworked Jokic.

>>151614642
Yes, really. The worst teams in the league are always incentivized to tank. There will always be a group of teams that choose to do that no matter how talented the league is. That's how the draft is set up.

At the very least, you have to acknowledge the possibility of fluctuations in league parity affecting win totals. Therefore, your analysis is simplistic, insufficient, and potentially misleading.

>>151614679
I mean, you literally acked out and immediately got triggered by a post that wasn't directed at you lol. Zero self-awareness, like I've said.
>Lol yeah that's much worse than Pacers star player on the most clutch run in recent history blowing out his achilles
Yeah, the guy who was averaging a whopping 14-6-4 and missing a single game is totally the same as each team the Nuggets played missing rotation players for entire series.
>and nearly losing g7 to a Nuggets team with no bench, injured players and overworked Jokic.
Last I saw, Nuggets were blown out that game and Chokic was too shook to even take more than a single shot in the second half. There's also, you know, the fact that it took double digit contributions from Russ, Strawther, and defense from Watson to even make it that far, but pesky facts like those don't really help your narrative huh

>>151614747
>At the very least, you have to acknowledge the possibility of fluctuations in league parity affecting win totals. Therefore, your analysis is simplistic, insufficient, and potentially misleading.
Nah. The league's talent has only grown and gotten more equalized since then, and yet the average win number has still jumped back with the Celtics and Thunder winning. Nuggets 2023 run was a 1/100 outlier we will never see again: literally the perfect storm of weak and injured competition.

>>151614812
There's zero indication I'm mad while you write essays and wish death on people every thread while every other flag makes fun of you for it. You literally are our lolcow kek

I'll ask again: if you are made fun of the most here while you lash out and post emotional essays, doesn't that make you the /nba/ lolcow?

>>151614916
No because you're still proving my point by acting like one. You can't actually argue about basketball since you're a brainmelted sharty reject, so all you do is regurgitate le funny /pol/ memes. You and your fellow collection of third worlder and euroflags seething over me because I dare to talk shit about your sacred serbian cow (and your other shorter, fatter, slovenian one) does nothing but prove just how little morons like you actually care about this game outside a racial lens.

Also, I'm not the curryfag or the 'cord leaf you keep posting screencaps of. Not every flag on /sp/ is the same person you're obssesed with lolcow.

>>151614985
>Also, I'm not the curryfag or the 'cord leaf you keep posting screencaps of. Not every flag on /sp/ is the same person you're obssesed with lolcow.
I have no idea what you're even talking about. Can you explain how you're not a lolcow when you get made fun of the most and sperg out the most? Please stop dodging the question mista jeet

i hate that guy draymond hes so annoying and gets away with murder

>>151615028
>I have no idea what you're even talking about.
You brought up emotional essays and the only guy that does that is the Curryfag. So either your just making shit up or acting dumb now, wouldn't be the first time for either of those things.
>Can you explain how you're not a lolcow when you get made fun of the most and sperg out the most?
Because lolcows like you don't get to decide those things,especially not when you're sperging out right in front of me. Hope this helps lolcow!

You're definitely the curryfag. Nobody else writes full essays every post.

>>151615171
You're probably on sentence 30 now jeet

So are we also not counting SGA's ring since he was on a stacked team and still needed 7 games to beat the Pacers with Hali tearing his ACL. Because the only way you can argue that the Nuggets had an easy run is based on their finals matchup.
