Official: Nba season thread pt i

[MesoPeaks]

We should compile a season long LeBum lowlight reel of his disappointments at the end of games. He has already given us so much in just 7 short games.

He's no Kobe...Trying to go hero ball instead of making a smart play...

[markkillerings]

Damn must be nice to be a Warrior fan when your team doesn’t even try and Klay can shoot 24 3s.

It's pretty sweet.

[Cudacke]

lmao towns was hedging on teh screen leaving Ingram open so he could push Lebron further out, low iq bball brains like HPV think Lebron should take a 3 with a man defender and hedged one just to take the glory

my god when will these kids learn bball?

Yea, consider the fact that Lebron is chocking at the three with 20% this season.
It is better to pass off the ball to a guarded Kuzma who is so far 28.9% at the three this season with 5 seconds left to shot for the win.....

[mvpshaq32]

he's not even that clear enough to take that shot smh...

so he picks up his dribble to swing it to someone who isn't open with 6 seconds on the shot clock to do what?

He's no Kobe...Trying to go hero ball instead of making a smart play...

yep he certainly doesn't have the Mamba Mentality

imagine if Jordan got that excuse. he shouldn't take the last shot because he sucks at shooting. but he's the GOAT though!

[Future24]

tweet was all facts though. what he said was exactly what happened in the play-by-play. once again, LeBeta afraid to take the shot when his team needs him the most and passing it off in hopes to have someone save him

This is just a great play by Gibson and surprisingly Towns.

[WrestlingFan123]

lmao how badly did u roast MJ when BJ Armstrong or Steve Kerr took the final shots?

i know you werent watching the NBA back then but just humor me kid.

[tekkenbruh]

yeah we know exactly what the Wolves were planning when LeRobin tried the PNR twice in a row and failed. Ingram wasn't even open when Towns recovered. LeAfraid picking up his dribble for no reason other than to pass it off to someone else to bail him out

the Lebronie excuses keep on rolling

Meanwhile LeGM is shooting 20% from behind the arc and couldn't recruit a single 3 pt shooter in a league that lives off of the shot in 2018.

Guys, if Lebron is so bad and he was holding Cavs back, why won't you back up your words and respond to my bet? How hard can it be to win 28 games without LeTeamCancer making everyone worse? This is very weird that you were so sure about Cavs future and now are quiet all of a sudden. Why is that?

[AriGhold]

lmao this is how you know Lebronies don't watch games.

Why don't you tell us what the Lakers' amazing record has been since Rondo returned and what their record started out as with Rondo as the starter. then compare it to their record in the games when Rondo was suspended and Lonzo took over his minutes

Why are you always watching laker games?

[dtbrehm]

Pretty small sample size you got there...

Their two wins were simply their two easiest games.

They were open in a system for them to take wide open shots like that.
Just like in the Lebrun system. It is designed to have the better shooter kuzma to go one on one with 5 second left when the game is on the line.

Phil always drew up plays where mj had options. The right play is sometimes a pass.

Even when mj was striking out, phil drew play for kukoc instead of scottie in playoffs.



Why is nobody talking about the shot clock change in reference to the crazy scores?

[HayZues Christi]

The increase in scoring is primarily due to the new rules regarding freedom of movement and the ever increasing percentage of shots taken from 3. The shot clock change is also a factor but less than the other two imo

That's feels over math.

Average of 23 offensive rebounds per nba game.

23 × 10 seconds = 3.8 mins

4.5 points per minute in average nba game.

3.8 x 4.5 = 17 ppg.

The freedom of movement/lack of D is a factor, but an ant to a giant compared to new shot clock rules.

Pretty sweet being a kings fan right now! Kings rank 3rd in NBA pace, 8th in defensive rating, and 12th in offensive rating.

5th youngest team in the NBA and we start the season out 4-3! Not to mention we still have the likes of Zach Randolph and Kosta Koufus with their last half of a season on the roster.

Cliffs:
-Fox is a gamechanger, his speed just cant be stopped
-WCS running with Fox is tough to stop and also had his way with the stifle tower
-Heild spot up shooting spaces for fox and hes also added a nice dribble to his game
-Bagley hitting 3s! Also runs with fox but hasnt been asked to carry the load, gives him time to find his game
-Bjelica has insane playmaking and shooting at the wing kings havent had in a long time
-Bench plays hard and smart every game, talent soo deep we could have a new starting lineup every night


Everyone knows the Kings have the longest playoff drought in the NBA. Nobody is looking at us as West contenders, but being relevant and consistent every night is a huge step in the right direction for the organization. Kings still waiting on the return of Bogi and Harry Giles as well.

Kings (post boogie) rebuild is looking right. Vlade for GM of the year if Bagley comes around and Kings sneak into a playoff spot. I think they would play the warriors hard and tough to get some street cred back.

Things are looking up! Thanks for letting me share in this Lakers/Warriors top heavy thread

[Hardcore_D00d]

Fox is the real deal. Liked him last year, you could just see the potential. Dude is quick as fuk. Doncic is in the lead for ROY. Dude is legit

[IsLifeRealLife]

Hawks @ Cavs is actually a good game today with the new coach and the Cavs being a 4.5 point favorite.


76ers @ Raptors

Blazers @ Rockets

Clippers @ Thunders


All look joocy

[WrestlingFan123]

There is no doubt that the Clippers are the deepest team in the L

Trust the Process - Jerry West

[Critter5592]

Toronto is ****ing good man. Finally watching them up close against the sixers. I thought they were best in East, this just reinforces it for myself.


IMO east will end up:

#1 Toronto
#2 Boston
#3 Milwaukee
#4 Indianapolis
#5 Philly
#6 Detroit
#7 Washington (srs)
#8 Miami

[y0lked]

Kings get 5th win. Win streak is legit.

[HoustonMiscer]

rockets LMFAO this keeps getting better game after game

[AriGhold]

31/7/4/4 for King Kawhi in a blowout victory of the 6ers to lead the Raps to 7-1.

How long until the blind wake up and recognize this man as the MVP I've been telling them he would be before the season began? HOW LONG.

Screech, how many other men have you called king? Do you wonder why no one takes you seriously?

[WrestlingFan123]

Screech, how many other men have you called king? Do you wonder why no one takes you seriously?

Every man he refers to as 'King' has lost to Lebron in the Finals

King Kawhi + Pop + Duncan/Ginobli/Parker
King Durant + Westbrook/Ibaka/Harden
King Curry + King Klay/Dray/Iggy

[Lastro]

good to see kawhi back in top form. hard to tell who is the best sf in the league: him durant or giannis

[AriGhold]

Dude is legit. But Trae young is averaging more Points & Assist.

That poster TMac has disappeared since he made all those retarded predictions about him and Trae Young.

[y0lked]

He legit leads the break when it’s 1 on 3 and gets to the rack for 2!

Russell Westbrook on his new rocking the cradle move whenever he’d score on Patrick Beverley: “You got little kids, you gotta put them to sleep. When you got little kids on you, that’s what happens.”

just lmao at the loser Clippers getting outscored by 29 in a quarter and blowing a 13-point lead to one of the worst teams in the league bahahhahaha

scumbag PatBrick trying to "DellaveKneeDive" people as usual, dude should be sent to the gulags

in other news, King Kyrie showing how to actually close out a game and not losing his handle of the ball into the backcourt. Young King leading the Celtics to a 5-2 record, an exact mirror record of the son he abandoned

[fleeceitout]

Kawhi comes back & quietly reminds everyone he’s the best player in the league. Undefeated with him in the lineup, new system, teammates etc. Dude is amazing.

“But, but he’s just a product of Pop’s system”

- Low IQ plebs.
