Even if you hate Jokic and the nuggets you have to admit that was a mickey mouse as fuck call

we run this shit

>>151727385
Doing this when the nba is under heat for rigged gambling is pretty funny, refs really don't give a fuck

I have so many questions

1. How the fuck they did not call that foul on Joker by Camara??

2. How the fuck did Denver blow the lead they had

3. Why is Portland so tough this season?? they won like 30 games last years and were like 12th seed or sum old ass holiday doing wonders and the corpse of dame

4. Why is Chicago 5-0??? has Donovan unlocked a second wind of coaching better, no way is Chicago actually gonna end up a deep ECF with "Josh Giddey"

5. Why are Cavs players all injured all of sudden?? seems like they're more injured than Celtics and Pacers, not sure why people said they were contending in any parabola

The NBA will be dissolved by the FBI kek

what a shot

king shit

Refs won the game for my blazies at the end, but even if we lost I'm so fucking happy to finally see a serious team effort and REAL defense from Portland since probably the jail blazers era.

>>151727431
Apparently that isn't a reaching foul

I just noticed the Rapshits spanked Cleveland. Holy kek.

>>151727446
Jokic just isnt clutch enough to do this anymore

This one's insane, never seen that called a jump before, how that isn't a reaching foul I have no idea but still Camara is on the bus for 1st team all D this year

>>151727449

How the fuck are the bulls undefeated :)

Will anyone talk about the fact that Adelman thinks Jokic is Gasol and is giving him 9 shots per game

>>151727564
They need to fire Adelman and rehire Malone

>>151727516
kings could use another guard

>>151727559
Josh "Your Underaged Daughter's BVLL" Diddy is him

>Jail blazers head coach arrested for gambling fraud
>Refs gave jail blazers the win

>>151727434
I'm joking, he's a great player he just looks weird, his jawline makes him look like Lord Farquad or Quagmire literally

I do think he leads the Bulls to a ring, Bulls are in such a weird situation right now, cause he's their main offensive engine and they technically underpaid him, and hes balling out like a Larry Bird/Stockton lite, but at the same time Bulls are trying to save cap so they had to get him to take a cut,

But Giddey has said in interview he wants to go back to OKC and he misses the team and etc,

Why was Jokic sitting for the first half of the last quarter lmfao

>>151727587
P. Giddey is our main guy.

>>151727607
Couldn't believe they tried to jew him out of his bare minimum worth lmao.
>But Giddey has said in interview he wants to go back to OKC and he misses the team and etc,
He's a great fit there but he should just move on and focus on trying to be a real number 1 guy, has lots of room to grow

>>151727613

who was ayesha's bvll today?

He could go be a gangster in Detroit. It's so cold in da D. Him and Cade would be kino

>>151727624
I agree,

He's incredibly young, he has absolutely broken out,

It'd be cool to see an Aussie full on lead a team to a ring, I know its mean alot to you guys

>Couldn't believe they tried to jew him out of his bare minimum worth lmao.

In all fairness I think they're eyeing 2026 and 27 FAs that way they can give him help and build around him, they're not paying into the Tax ATM, but I agree, its the fair I can say he's being robbed cause LITERALLY doing everything, rebounding assisting and scoring, while Bulls are lacking their main scorer before Giddey was traded which was Coby White

>Ayton not injured
>JJ just forgot to sub him in
Holy kek, I really hope that's true.

>>151727677
holy fuck

>>151727677
I'm so mad he fucking missed that

>>151727677
There was another ankle breaker he did on the right wing, but he bricked that shot

>>151727677
The logical solution is just to stand dare and dare them to shoot,

He was just overmoving over nothing

kek ja is pouting about the coaching staff to the media.

Y'all remember when Luka broke Cam Johnson's ankless so hard in game 7 of the WCF against the Suns he slid back to the free throw line?

>>151727724
Easy to say but both Luka and Harden have top 1% decel so they can just suddenly change direction

>>151727658
SHE WAS 16 YOU SICK FUCK 19 YEAR OLD

>>151727687
He had back spasms. They showed him get treatment on the bench

>>151727764
Nothing serious then

>>151727685
Getting Vuc off the books should open it up enough but after the run he had end of last season I have no idea what their problem was
>LITERALLY doing everything
He's already one of the best passers ITL, honestly I would take him as my number 1 over Trae. Giddey just has a lot going for him being that big with his IQ, touch and playmaking

>>151727724
Luka got to the rim easily and also hit multiple meme shots all game. There was no defending him tonight.

>>151727778
Everything is retarded over here, I know

>>151727778
>honestly I would take him as my number 1 over Trae.
none of you retards actually know ball. as evidenced by this

most midwit casual nba fan thing ever to think that "hes doing everything!!!!" is an argument that a player is good.

>>151727800
What possible argument could you have for Trae over Giddey lmao

bam so mad lmao

>>151727411
racists still mad about the kneeling

>>151727834
i feel him. the insane wemby glaze ive seen is straight up disrespectful to every single player that has ever played basketball before him, dude is getting the "could he be da goat of da basketball?? hes already looking like da goat fr..." talks at fucking 21. its absurd. not to mention that even when he does the most basic of shit, it gets inflated and glazed to absurd degrees because hes tall

pretty retarded. they should raise the hoop 1 ft higher when wemby is on the floor

>>151727959
He doesn't have a high vert at all but it's still crazy how fluid and agile he is for his size.

>>151727977
Luka and AR probably shower together

>>151727987
we're blessed to watch this freakshow. hope he keeps improving his footwork.

this some shaq 2.0 shit

>>151727987

>>151728077
>>151727987

>>151728077
Well now you know not to trust AI summaries as half the time they are just made-up bullshit.
His standing reach is around 9'8". A 40" vert would mean he could touch the top of the backboard. In reality, his max reach is slightly above the top of the square. He probably has like a 22" max vert.

>>151727410
>Why is Portland so tough this season?? they won like 30 games last years and were like 12th seed or sum old ass holiday doing wonders and the corpse of dame
It's clear now that Billups was sabotaging this team
If the blazers make the playoffs, their improvement in win loss total should be entered as evidence during his trial

>>151728111
>In reality, his max reach is slightly above the top of the square
no way thats true

>>151728135
Show me a clip of him reaching higher than that. You can't.

>>151728135
This is pretty much Wemby's max vert on display. As I said, barely above the square.

>>151728147
that was the one i was looking for, do you think he cant jump higher when you watch that?

Why does Wemby make people seethe so much?
Is the Wemby hate just subjects of the 4 and 6 kingdom crying out in cope as they see their fake GOAT get delisted out of the top 10 in real time?

>>151728153
Maybe slightly higher, but not much. As I said, a 40" vert would mean he could touch the very top of the backboard, which is 13 feet high.

9'8" standing reach + 40 inch vert = 116 + 40 inches = 156 inches = 13 feet

I thought the Jokic hate was the height of basketball insanity, but you Wemby haters might be even more deranged.
Though I think you Wemby and Jokic haters are one and the same - LeFaggots who know it's over.

That's not Wemby bro. Watch the clip.

>>151727778
>I would take him as my number 1 over Trae.

He's always been better than Trae, his height and weight is a huge X factor, he literally moves and cuts like Larry Bird and is a phenomenal rebounder, people dont realize that Triple double status for a guy like him who looks the way he does is so marvelous, people glaze fatty Joker over his triple double but forget Giddey practically debuted at 23 years old allevating from the betrayl of being traded to another team and went on to just ball out

I doubt Trae has a career after this season, seems like the hawks are full on looking to move on from him, he's far too undersized and has an attitude issue and his scoring has been dogshit


>Getting Vuc off the books should open it up enough

Yea, and then maybe land Kristaps and Middleton on ultra cheap contracts just to give Chicago a back court, the 2026 Centers FA arent really that good, its 2027 is where its at, Chicago shouldn't worry, they just don't want to be a in a situation where Lakers steal the players they're targeting

>>151728237
never even heard of this guy, crazy how high he gets

>>151728237
Why's he not in the NBA??

Im looking him up I don't think Memphis was a college for him to go in all fairness,

Kentucky, Arizona, Gonzaga all better,

>>151728253
Me either. I just found him from that video. Goes to show that insane physical tools aren't enough to make it in the league. This guy was only getting 10 minutes per game in his senior year of college while he have dudes like Payton Pritchard in the league.

Yea my nigga Giddey is da thruth.

nba is shit

>>151728295
>Goes to show that insane physical tools aren't enough to make it in the league. This guy was only getting 10 minutes per game in his senior year of college

From the best player in the NBA for the past 5 years, 3 time MVP and 2 second place finish to playing like a 40 year old washed past his prime vet.

Looks like his horses and the eurobasket cuckcup took his talents away. Should he be finally traded to my Lakies for Rui Hachimura?

LeGOAT is already miles away than everyone else. Seriously 23 years in the league averaging 28/8/8? Wemby was still not planned yet while LEGOAT is making easy triple dubs in the league.

>>151728350

It's going to be weird when Luka finally has a sub 30 point game

jays bros how we feelin

Remember when people were calling Nembhard a future star only for him to get outplayed by Mac McClung

I'm still pissed at this faggot for bricking that wide open 3, simultaneously denying Jokic his trippie dub AND losing them the game.

we liking NBA nightcap so far? been watching the replays and I like it way more than ERNEH unc talk

>>151728415
no refunds

i only watch blazers for yang and he gets no minutes

>>151728428
didnt play poker with chauncey = no minutes

Giannis wouldn’t have only taken 10 shots.

Ace Bailey's starting to figure things out. His best game yet.

the annoyin bitch hana hoops got giddled

>>151728450
Still think he has the highest ceiling in the class.

Apologize to Rob Pelinka. Now.

>>151728462
I will just blame Nico Harrison instead

>>151728460
He’s worse at just about everything than Flagg is, and is less functionally athletic

>>151728489
Ace is a better shooter with better form, quicker release, and has a much better off the dribble pull up game.

>>151728527
Yet his actual production has never really reflected that. Dating back to high school.
>off the dribble pull up game
In practice not true, because Flagg can actually dribble in the NBA and he can't

>>151728397
I haven't watched baseball in years, but I've been watching this World Series (which I will tie into basketball below), but have been loving it
How does me watching the World Series tie into basketball?
Look, I'm worse than a cazzie when it comes to baseball
But I know enough about it to know who Ohtani is and that the Dodgers won last year.
The fact that there is a big name star playing and a chance for repeat Champs caused me to tune in
Repeat Champs and Dynasties help draw in the crowds

Adam Silver and the NBA has changed the salary cap rules in an effort to eliminate repeat Champs and Dynasties
Of all the major American sports Dynasties in basketball are the most memorable and fun

Yeah, Dynasties in baseball and football can be fun too, but basketball Dynasties are vastly more entertaining.
And just I'm the same way as someone like me, who never watches baseball has tuned in for a chance to witness a back to back champ, the same would happen with the non basketball viewing public if a dynasty was on the rise in an NBA Finals. Silver is a dumb ass for trying to nuke this possibility. Miles Turner should be on the Pacers right now. Bruce Brown should've never been forced to leave the championship nuggets. Great teams should be able to stay together. The super team was never a real threat. Only GSW could get it to work. They were an aberration The heat didn't outclass the league by much or not at all in most cases. They had tough eastern conference battles and a 2 for 4 Finals record. KD, Kyrie, and Harden went nowhere. Super teams were and are highly overblown because GSW had lightning in a bottle with only ONE superstar addition to an already amazing in house built team.

And Ballmer can be as rich as Midas, but like Midas, that golden wealth can't buy you NBA happiness. He has zero championships.

Let teams become Dynasties again!

/end rant

Baseball should be an olympics sport even if i know nothing about it but still respect it and not that stupid breakdance

>>151728550
I agree with all this. My warriors were goated

>>151728559
Breakdancing finals was kino tho

>>151728559
There's a black politician in Britain who recently made a video about that breakdancer calling her evidence of white supremacy

>>151728559
What about sepak takraw?

>>151728539
The efficiency isn't always there but you watch his highlights you can see the potential of what he could be. I watched many games of both players in college and Ace regularly hits those superstar #1 option types of shots that Cooper just doesn't.
Cooper is much more deferential by nature. He tries to play within the system and can be too unselfish. He doesn't want to take over a game by himself or take "bad" shots, but sometimes it's better for the team to have a guy that's not afraid to do that, which is what Ace is.

>>151728574
Blackies just love to call everything white supremacy anyways

>>151728575
Hell yeah, that too! But idk if western people know this sport enough

>>151728586
Yeah, so Ace has none of the skills of a superstar besides taking low percentage shots and making them semi-regularly. Cooper has many potential superstar skills except doesn't take low percentage shots very often. I'm not even that bullish on Flagg, but him and Harper are very obviously much closer to being stars than Ace is. Ace fandom is almost entirely predicated on high school hype.

>>151728595
Yeah it was especially weird because the breakdancer is Australian, but then again politicians are meant to be lolcows

>>151728575
>sepak takraw
>>151728595
>idk if western people know this sport enough
It looks cool from videos but I don't think it's played at all outside of SEA

>>151728598
I don't see a superstar in Flagg at all. For one I don't think he will ever be a reliable shooter on high volume. His release is slow and his form is quite bad. His touch around the rim isn't really there either. His bag is very limited in general. He has a loose handle and he pretty much just relies on powering his way to the rim and he has one spin move that he spams. I've never even seen him do a Eurostep before. He'll probably be a very good glue guy, maybe like a taller Josh Hart type of player, but you he's not going to be your #1 or even #2 option on a good team.

>>151728598
I don't see a superstar in Flagg at all. For one I don't think he will ever be a reliable shooter on high volume. His release is slow and his form is quite bad. You can see that he doesn't trust is own shot as he regularly passes up open 3's. His touch around the rim isn't really there either. His bag is very limited in general. He has a loose handle and he pretty much just tries to power his way to the rim and he has one spin move that he spams. I've never even seen him do a Eurostep before. He'll probably be a very good glue guy, maybe like a taller Josh Hart type of player, but he's not going to be your #1 or even #2 option on a good team.

>>151728610
Yeah, it's mainly played within SEA. It's basically volleyball but with legs

>>151727384 (OP)
what does this box score convey?

My Knicks suck
Thibs made this team work

>>151728664
I don't want to judge him based on him being played out of position by kidd. All of the olympics guys had high praises for him after their practice match with him. So there's something more in him that we just haven't seen

>>151728664
Yet he pretty much does all of these things better than Ace, and then is also clearly better at every broad skill not mentioned here (passing, defending the rim and the perimeter, rebounding, general feel and IQ, etc). I have questions about Flagg's handle and finishing too (I'm not really worried about the shot in the long term), but his base is clearly much easier to build upon than Ace's. Ace doesn't get to the rim, and hasn't proven himself to be a better or higher volume three point shooter than Flagg, he literally just substitutes those shots for low percentage midrange shots.

>>151728690
He's not being played out of position. That's a retarded myth that's being perpetuated by people who don't watch games. Kidd listed him as PG a couple games but he wasn't playing PG at all. They were playing without one in short stretches until DLo or whoever checked in. Flagg was not running the offense in any sense or regularly bringing the ball up. He's been playing off-ball and standing in the corner the entire time.

>>151728720
I did watch the mavs games. In the first few games, he was the main ball handler. It's only recently that they changed it to AD and then Dlo when he's subbed in.

>>151728701
I wouldn't say that Flagg is a substantially better defender or rebounder than Ace. Ace is very good in those areas. Passing and decision making are the main areas where Flagg is ahead.

Ace definitely has weaknesses to his game like you mention, but personally I just see a more realistic path to stardom for him. And even if his percentages haven't been great yet, his mechanics and confidence and willingness to shoot suggest to me he has a very high potential as a shooter.

>>151727384 (OP)
thought that was Robert Kubica at first

>>151728742
Maybe I'm misremembering the first game but that's not really what I saw. Flagg has been playing in a passive, deferential manner in every game. He passes around the perimeter and only occasionally looks to attack or shoot. That's not what a PG does. Dallas has been sharing ball-handling among many players. AD has been their primary option in the half-court, but he doesn't really create advantages so he just often just passes it back out. That's why their offense has been so shit. They don't really have a player that can reliably create advantages.

why are there so few american white players in the NBA now
do all the tall whites just do meth now

>>151728744
Pretending that Flagg isn't a 'substantially' better defender than Ace is just boring. But anyway I think you've shown how bad the Ace upside argument is.
>mechanics
>confidence
>willingness to shoot

>>151728782
I think Flagg's defense is pretty overrated. He gets burned on the perimeter quite a lot. He's not really a shut down guy. They are about equal as rim protectors. Flagg has better awareness and is better on rotations.

>mechanics
>confidence
>willingness to shoot
Yes those important factors when projecting a player's development as a shooter, arguably more important than just raw percentages. A prime example is Anthony Edwards who shot nearly 8 3's a game at under 30% in college, and 33% on similar volume in his rookie year. He's now one of the best shooters in the league.

>>151728450
Why even draft a guy who said he doesnt want to be on your team if youre not going to play him or give him touches as a fucking lottery team. Danny Ainge deserves life in hell.

Supersonics

>>151728803
He's been recovering from an illness. He should start to get more minutes soon.

>>151728802
Flagg's not supposed to be a "shut down guy" on the perimeter in the NBA at 18 years old. He is a better rim protector than Ace and always has been. Statistics, eye test, etc. Flagg was a great defensive prospect, while Ace was "projectable" and "has the tools".
>factors when projecting a player's development as a shooter
3pt%, FT%, and 3PAr
Ant shot loads of threes and on a mostly self-created diet, Ace didn't. Ace has equal to, if not worse shooting indicators than Flagg. Flagg's form is really not that bad, you're harping on it (and other unproven things like 'confidence' and 'willingness') because they're the only points which can't be easily dismissed with basic stats.

The actual GOAT of the NBA

>>151727516
He had them figured out

>>151728758
In one game with Cooper as PG, D'LO played 1 minute.
It was fucking dire

>>151728858
>Ant shot loads of threes and on a mostly self-created diet, Ace didn't.
That's because Ace likes to operate a lot on the mid-range. Obviously the hope is that he will eventually have a more efficient shot diet but it's still very useful for a player to have a reliable mid-range jumper and at his height and release he is basically unblockable.

>Flagg's form is really not that bad, you're harping on it (and other unproven things like 'confidence' and 'willingness') because they're the only points which can't be easily dismissed with basic stats.
No, I'm saying that because I watched them both play plenty and it's just obviously true, and if you're trying to deny these things then you're either lying or didn't watch them in college.

>>151727516
Temu Derrick Rose sucks

Luka MVP season?

>>151728946
Hard due to Lakers team and Giannis is also being kinda insane plus lots of votes splitting with SGA, Jokic and even wemby.

Scoring Title seems very likely

Nets will win the nba cup like it’s nothing and then resume the tank

>>151728858
Let me just ask you this though. If you had to bet, which player do you think is more likely to average 30 in a season? Ace or Cooper?

I think the answer is easily Ace. That's why I say Ace has a higher ceiling. I think Cooper's ceiling as a scorer is like low 20's. I just don't see him as a go-to guy #1 option.

Clippers will win the championship vs the Celtics

>>151728930
Operating in the mid range is a bad thing and he operates there because he isn't an elite 3pt shooter and can't get to the rim.
>>151728930
>I watched them both play plenty and it's just obviously true
"Trust me bro, you just didn't see it"
>>151728980
Flagg probably. It's pretty obvious that you haven't watched a lot of their college tape because you wouldn't have these opinions. We both know it, so you can stop the larp.

>>151728989
I literally watched like 30 of their games each.

BTW don't act like it's a crazy opinion to say Ace has a higher ceiling. Many scouts felt the same way before the draft.

>>151729009
Who?

>>151728610
https://youtu.be/vBQQkGl6YUg?si=OUFXq8sFQP69-ht9

I just wanna see millenniums bust their knees playing this.

The nuggets need MPJ so bad. Cam Johnson is out there doing nothing it’s wild.

>>151729017
I don't have exact sources but if you were into draft content then it was a fairly common opinion. The idea was that Flagg is the safer pick and Bailey is more boom or bust, but has more superstar upside if he hits. I know I've seen some anonymous surveys and execs suggesting the same thing, like here:
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25168107-nba-exec-praises-ace-bailey-might-have-highest-ceiling-2025-draft-class

>>151729041
The draft content you consume isn't good if that was a common opinion you heard. Predicting 'ceilings' is always impossible, but inefficient guys with terrible shot diets and playmaking do not become elite 30ppg scorers. Ace has to improve much more than Flagg does to become an all NBA player, and there's no reason to believe that will happen.

>>151729069
How is predicting ceilings impossible? Nobody's saying definitively what will or won't happen. It's about making educated guesses of a players' likely range of outcomes based on numerous factors.

You're right that Flagg right now is closer to being All-NBA level. That's why we say he has a higher floor, and nobody disputed that. But many people agree that if both players were to hit say their 95th percentile of development, Ace Bailey would be the better player due to his apparent elite scoring potential.

>both smart and ayton are collectively paid $14m this year on the Lakers after buyouts
If they win it this year or get to the finals this is proof that the league is mickey mouse clubhouse tier

>>151729130
>How is predicting ceilings impossible?
How are we supposed to know whether any player ever reached their "ceiling"? How do we know whether Cam Reddish didn't reach his "ceiling" or just didn't have an NBA "ceiling" in the first place? Predicting outcomes isn't impossible, knowing what a player could develop into is impossible. Even you said "likely range", but that's not what 'ceiling' means. If everybody has the potential to develop like Kawhi did, then there are dozens of players with all-NBA 'ceilings' probably in every draft, but that's obviously unrealistic and pointless to discuss. A realistic high end outcome Flagg would blow a realistic high end outcome Ace out of the water as an overall player.
>Ace Bailey would be the better player due to his apparent elite scoring potential.
Yeah, yeah, and this is based on his mechanics, willingness, and confidence. I get it. It's not true but I understand your opinion.

>>151731512
he pretty much confirmed it in the post game interview. coaching staff told him to not play the game at halftime so he just stood around. the league is a travesty. I hope the fbi blows it all up

>>151731623
The fuck are you talking about? They were raping the Lakers and then after halftime he only shot four times and they were all chucks from the three point line. He wasnt even trying to score the ball. When he was trying to score the ball he shot 10 times in the first half, no chucks, lots of assists. JJJ was raping the lakers and then he only shoots once during the second half. It was the most obvious rigging, they looked like they didn’t want to play the game after fucking leading and raping the lakers.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scared of Dominayton that's all.

>>151732034
Before the hot streak lakers were like 90% implied to take the whole game retard. They were up, everyone looked fine besides DA. Hayes put the Memphis G-leaguers in a hell in a cell when they weren't magnet balling. From the second half Lakers were just in total control. They were easily the better team and if you simulate this game 1000 times, they probably win it like 850 times, even with the insane DK/Vando/Hayes lineup they used at times.

>>151732123

they upgraded their defence and got rid of a playmaker, which they had no need for with the way they play. harden back then was a way bigger loss than giddey could ever be (paying ibaka over him is a generational mistake).

no serious team would trade for ja. after all, he's an injury prone guard who can't shoot the meme and doesn't play defence. on top of that, he's a terrible leader/locker room presence and embarrassingly got buck broken by his coach, who simply held him accountable for his actions on the court.

No, they're not. I mean Flagg doesn't look like a #1 pick right now but it's too early and they absolutely got rigged to the #1 pick in the draft. If they didn't get rigged to that pick I would agree with you but even in that scenario the Pelicans are worse.
They literally gave away their pick this year, they're 0-5, they're headed to the lottery WITHOUT A PICK and not only that they GAVE AWAY ANOTHER LOTTERY PICK TO THE PACERS before Haliburton fucked his Achilles.

They literally gave away 2 lottery picks that could be top 10 easy this year.

Let's say the NBA expands into Seattle and Vegas like everyone knows they will. Here's how they should restructure the divisions:

>Sky Division
Jazz, Nuggets, Thunder, Grizzlies
>Gulf Division
Mavericks, Spurs, Rockets, Pelicans

>Eastern Conference
>Lakes Division
Timberwolves, Bucks, Bulls, Pacers
>Southeast Division
Heat, Magic, Hawks, Hornets
>National Division
Wizards, Cavaliers, Pistons, Raptors
>Northeast Division
76ers, Nets, Knicks, Celtics

>>151735323
Verily, the Mavs real mistake was not selling on all their vets and commuting a full rebuild around Flagg, Lively, whatever lottery talent the landed in the 2026 draft. Although I suppose the terms of the rigging might have specified that had to try to compete this year.

>>151736535
The play breakdowns are decent but he's not really that funny. Yelling & cussing into a mic is not particularly witty or original.

>>151736716
When I first saw his video I found it funny because I thought he was genuinely raging out.

https://youtu.be/J1EPSY1DT4M?t=6m49s
How is this in anyway indicative pf wembys skill or dominance rather than the absolute unbelievably garbage raptors defense? wtf was the retarded slow ass white 7 footer supposed to do? He'd have to be guarding two players at the same time which is unreasonable for almost any defender but definitely for his slow footed garbage ass, I dont even know his name.

Anyway thats what im noticing in these games. And im sort of disappointed thinking basketball is biting on this early season hype, when id expect him out of any analyst to not jump the gone on such a small sample size that isnt even controlled for quality of defense, when ive seen him control for that so many times in his videos. I guess everybody is susceptible to hype. His videos without statistics that arent slow play by play analysis are meh to me.

>>151732529
Nobody misses PGiddey, GODruso was a necessary vet who's made all the players and especially Cason Wallace better defenders, and now we have Ajay Mitchell and Topic (if he ever plays again) as backup PGs, ones that won't become unplayable in the playoffs like Giddey was. The team would've never found their 5 switchable defenders identity with Giddey, and he would never be the primary ballhandler on a team with Shai. Getting his own team in Chicago was the best situation for him for him to start maximizing his potential.

>>151736645
>>151736716
If you think for a second. The breakdowns arent even that good. He'll criticize players for not doing certain things the same way some retard will backseat a chess player post hoc for not "doing" something because theyve never actually played the game at a high level and dont realize that not a single competetive "sport" or "game" is played like a robot, and mind games and such exist where a player would be compelled to not play a certain way based on being conditioned by their opponent.

Theres also the fact that selective clips can give the impression a player was playing bad defense just because they were beaten even if they played good defense everywhere else.

I mean when making videos like this, you are GOING to be right sometimes just by chance that a team will make enough bad plays eventually. But I avoid his videos now.

I just told you. It's his 3rd most viewed video. Bronny vids are easy views no matter if they are positive or negative.

>>151738572
I just told you. His 3rd most viewed video is a pro-bronny vid. In fact almost all of his most popular videos are about bronny. It's easy views whether they are positive or negative.

Why are there people in this thread that Ja brings anything of value?

>>151739613
Kings are pretty fun. They got a buncha chefs ovah there. Ass team, but fun. Your mvp in this game seems to be 3 point variance

Honest to god what retard saw derozan and lavine shitting it up together for years on the bulls decide to pair them up together again.

move ja gets away with there is a fucking travel. entire league does it now.

>get sat down by the defender
>nowhere to go
>”why not just travel?”

you’re only allowed to use the pivot foot. if you go up it has to be without switching back to one leg… have to go off both if you’ve utilized the pivot…

little kids are doing the same thing. where was the rule change. you think ‘90s guys wouldn’t have ever tried doing a lay-up after getting stopped in the lane?

This chart is irrefutable proof that Flagg WILL be a superstar and an all-time great.

Give me a compelling argument why Giddey isn't already better than Trae.

mate, get out of the sun, your brain's been on the barbie too long

Bam is the best defender, but he isn't a bucket.

game is about a bucket, if I wanna watch people good at moving their feet I´ll go watch assosciation football

>>151740258
Might as well call Dominayton a two way

I have information that could lead to the arrest of LeDiddy James.

>>151740410
Abhorrent take, Ayton can neither switch onto smaller players nor score as well as Bam.

Zach lavine, now there's a proper player, no bullshit, just buckets

I accept your concession.

get aj green and ryan rollins some help

Sabonis is so trash

>>151740539
>Zach lavine, now there's a proper player, no bullshit, just buckets
I kinda agree. On a better team with a better playmaker he might get talked about the insane delusional inflated way Klay used to.

>>151739080
then the league better test him for PEDs after the game if he puts up those kind of MONSTER numbers against my Thompson and Duran

Giannis gets such a ridiculous whistle. Can't wait for AI refs.

>>151740701
he is American lauri markkanen
>>151740678
It was funny in eurobasket threads all Lithuanians kept being mad at him, one guy always mentioning he had a jewish american wife

>>151740482
and everyone in the summer league were calling him the honorable chink jokic
I thought summer league mattered

theres no way doug christie challenged that

>>151740742
>he is American lauri markkanen
idk what that means?

>>151740701
Klay was a good defender before his injuries. Players like Lavine, Giddy, and Young are liabilities on D an that's why they take L's every post season when scheming and defensive ability truly matter.

THE KINGS WON THE CHALLENGE?????

MANDATORY IQ TESTS IN THE DRAFT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WE NEED DUNCANS AND KOBES NOT JA AND ANTS

>>151740825
Im saying he is good by comparing him to the great eurobasket semifinalist Lauri markkanen. A lot of similarities in their game imo
>>151740872
if they had an autism test Kobe never makes the league

>>151740872
did kobe have high IQ when he was dating high schoolers, tried to make a rap album, and raped a woman in colorado?

go wuffs

>I am so dissapointed in Wilt chamberlein and his work ethic. Going to the finals and losing against Bill was heartbreaking. I admired Mikan and Baylor. We need a new direction, which is why we traded him

Yeah

>>151740872
The only thing that can save the NBA

>>151740898
>>151740920
Rape aside. You never heard Kobe speak? He was smart as fuck.

>>151740839
>Klay was a good defender before his injuries.
Klay truly proves how easy defense is if youre not a literal retarded lazy oaf. Klay wasnt this "lock down defender". Hes a 6'5 215 pound guy that puts in effort with a 6'10 wingspan. Yeah no fucking shit hes going to stop guys, but hes not that great of a team defender, and isnt even really lockdown. Hes just a decently big guy who puts in effort. Not to excuse the guys youre comparing him to, as they're also big. But they also tend to have more offensive responsibility and some players are simply lazy. I just think Klays defense is overrated and Lavine as a second option would get him Klay tier overrated talks

My konky nipple...

>>151740967
>thinking you cant be autistic and intelligent

smdh at this ableism

>>151740967
>speak? He was smart as fuck.
You might actually genuinely be mentally retarded if you think speech has anything to do with intelligence. There are people world smarter than you that wouldn't even be able to talk to another human being coherently without stuttering.

i like to torture myself with the hornets broadcast

sabonis needs a new team. sacramento ain't it he's been there posting double doubles long enough and it doesn't work

>>151741155
hornets broadcast is so hype

>>151741181
He just needs some help. These niggas they puttin with him ain't winning players.

>>151741120
everytime someone bricks a shot I think someone is knocking at my door

>>151740989
I never said we was some lock down defender, he was simply big, mobile, and savvy enough to stay in front most players reasonably well.
There is no excuse for being a weak link on defense unless you're a plodding center or manlet guard. SGA is the MVP & a champion because he's effective going both ways. Lavine will never sniff a finals because he isn't.

>>151741155
did he go back to hum diddly dee for miles bridges?

gobert has the touch of epstein

>>151741346
>I never said we was some lock down defender,

Klay you gotta lock in, you play the pacers in like 30 minutes

how is he still so unskilled after so many years of practicing

>>151741406
that anon has not seen the spiders in my basement, he would shit himself

>>151740539
lavine has the nicest looking game in the league I don't care if he's statistically inefficient, not like he's ever been on good teams anyways

>>151741459
If he were better, he'd be on good teams.

NBA star Dejounte Murray cries out on IG after his girlfriend and baby mama, Jania Meshell (who is also NBA YoungBoy’s BM) went out to clubs in Houston after flying out for “work” despite promising him she would never go to clubs when they got together

>>151741474
not really, he signed a ridiculous contract with the bulls and no one other than the kings was willing to trade for him because of it

>>151741459
true, you watch the game with your eyes, not a calculator

>>151741506
And why didn't any teams but the village idiots of the league wanna take on his superduper-star contract eh?

>>151741492
this why hoopers should just get a snowbunny

Lavine is just prime Cam Thomas

>>151741492
having kids with and/or trying to wife up the wrong one has ruined and caused headaches for countless men. Stay vigilant, Kings

>>151741540
I'm not saying he wasn't on an overvalued contract, he definitely was, but that's on the bulls for offering that amount to him

kangz are fucking up the bucks
