Yeah, you shitters. Continue to doubt Dallas.
They LITERALLY beat the Cavs and Spurs on a back to back, LITERALLY beat Philly WHEN THEY WON 9 OUT OF THE LAST 10, and now beat a 8th seed tier Trail Blazers team.

They LITERALLY, LITERALLY was 3rd in net rating on January.

>>74018724
give me a quick trip dub

Sixers will sign Yogi Ferrell and have 3 (three) undrafted NBA players in their starting line up.

>>74018759
I think as the draft neared he was starting to move up but even then he was projected late lottery to second round.

Thunder were absolutely blasted by the sports media, like the snarky Seattle Times writer that made jokes about them drafting Westbrook and Ibaka. Turned out he was the joke.

>>74018732
NANI?! WHY WASNT HE AS GOOD FOR MY NETTIES? DID THE MAVS KNOW HE WAS GOOD SO THEY LET HIM START? Or is it the name? Players with cool names are always good

>>74018759
He wasn't even close to a first rounder.
The only reason Presti even knew he existed is because someone told him about him and his obsessive personality and drive to win, athleticism.

After Presti did research and talked to people from UCLA he fell in love with him because he thought Westbrook had the perfect personality to lead the team and be their PG of the future since KD and the other guys on the Sonics didn't have strong personalities that could unite the team.

>>74018792
Kek

>>74018782
Why would you spend such a high pick to draft a projected second rounder?
Why not trade back?

>>74018782
It was a great gamble is there somewhere I can read more about this?

>>74018804
Because Presti believes personality and work ethic is more important to drafting people than who's the most talented at the time of the draft.

He drafted Ibaka because he knew his back story and drive to be in the NBA out of the Congo.

>>74018816
So they used that drive to develop them?

>>74018782
also Presti and company were extremely high on Porzingis, far higher than everybody else at the time, but Porzingis pulled out and re-entered the draft the next year.

sadly the Thunder ended up using that pick on Mitch McGary

>>74018816
But if nobody else would have taken him in the first round, you could trade back to like the 25th pick, obtain assets, and still get Westbrook.
Seems like a weird move to me.

Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks is STILL an elite shooter.

How do we get this to happen? Twitter tweets? Let's make this happen /nba/. /ourguys/ (the Cleveland Cavaliers) have to win or we will be stuck in an era of curryposting.

Let's mobilize and make this trade happen

>Nate Robinson signed a D-League contract on Thursday.

>Robinson has been telling anyone who will listen that he wants another crack at the NBA. With no team in the league willing to give him a chance, he is going to try and make his case in the D-League. Robinson will formally enter the D-League’s available player pool once his letter of clearance is approved. Nate played for Hapoel Tel Aviv last season. His last NBA experience was for the Pelicans in 2015-16.

LeBron cockroaches always scatter back under the fridge when you shine the light of Steph Curry on them. It's a funny thing to see.

LeBron vs MJ might as well be MJ vs Wilt because the eras are so different. Jordan played in a league where help defense was illegal. Remember last night when the commentators were screaming at Casey for not sending help when LeBron went into the post? That was every night of Jordan's career except for when he played against a top 5 defender. And luckily for him the best perimeter defender in the league was on his team. It's a completely different league. There have been 4 distinct basketball eras. Pre-shotclock, pre-3 point line, the pre-zone/handcheck era, and now. With Curry going crazy and hack-a-Shaq getting out of hand we're set for another wave of rule changes. Comparing between eras is useless. Might as well be Johnny Unitas vs Aaron Rodgers.

I've said it for weeks now, I still think that when all is said and done, the Knicks are still going to make the playoffs in the putrid East, almost certainly as an 8 seed. The Hornets have fallen off a cliff lately, and the Bulls are an even bigger dumpster fire than the Knicks right now. Even if they manage to move Melo, I dont think the hit will be that much, in fact, they might even play better if one of the two iso ballers (rose being the other) moves out and frees up the offense. We've certainly seen something resembling a coherent offense with Rose being out the last week or so (and apparently will also be for THIS game).

But that wont mean a thing other than missing out on the lottery. The Knicks will get obliterated by the Cavs in the first round.

>>74019371
Idk that anyone or anything can stop Curry on the court except for Curry himself. He played relatively shitty last finals bc he psyched out himself for the first trip to the big stage probly.. so, yea, mental warfare could be an effective weapon. Problem is that he's riding an epic wave of amazing accomplishments atm. He's only been progressing and accomplishing even more unexpected feats since he got his first chip last year, and I dont see any reason he would just suddenly decline or even plateau any time soon.

His career will most likely follow a similar path to MJ's early career after finally attaining his first chip. After finally pushing thru that ceiling and getting that first title, Jordan was able to ride that wave of confidence to accomplish true previously unseen greatness. Curry is showing many of the traits that are hallmarks of a legend the likes of MJ.

I believe we are all lucky enough to be witnessing the early development of one of the true GOATs, and the best part is he's just getting warmed up.

Just my opinion I kno many will disagree. Heres something else many will disagree with:

LeBron is not a GOAT. He's really good and definitely in the top 3 currently playing, but lacks the qualities that would allow him to push through the ceiling to solidify himself in legend status. The Leastern meme and the 2-5 meme have merit. Also he's kind if a prick. He's said and done a lot of shit that makes him look rather deuchey. His ego will always be too inflated imo and that will always be holding him back.

Here comes the Reddit spam, im going to bed lads see you tomorrow night

>>74019430

Kobe is MJ 2. He did everything MJ did, sometimes better and sometimes worse because he's a different person. Kobe can't be called greater than MJ because he just hasn't got the achievements and stats to back it up, but he has been the face of the NBA and Jordan 2.0 for over a decade. Not a bad accomplishment considering Kobe and Jordan spent about the same amount of time being face of the nba despite kobe arguably having to deal with more competition he was never really eclipsed until somewhere around 2011 when Lebron ascended to become the new face. Which he, by the way, was only able to hold on to for about 5 years before largely losing the job to Curry, compared to Kobe + MJ racking up a combined 25 years or so.
Kobe did not get as many rings, he is missing one. He didn't always get finals MVP like MJ, he didn't have the same sort of legendary stories like "flu game" or "the shot", he didn't have his own space jam and since the NBA was already a huge fucking force and didn't need rejuvenating in Kobe's time, he just never became as large as MJ. MJ came into the NBA when the NBA was in big shit. Magic and Bird were about to be kill, Kareem was carcass, and there was nobody really around to take up the mantle and keep interest alive once the Celtics + Lakers rivalry went on hiatus. MJ basically saved the NBA and took all the spotlight that old rivalry and the Bad Boys and all those guys were getting and took it all on himself and became some kind of celebrity black hole in the 90's. Without MJ you would not have the NBA nearly as watched or cared about today, would have less teams, would not have the huge international interest and talent farm, and the game would probably still be either fast-break nignog runabout or fatfuck bootybump . No dream team to bring the sport to the world, the sport would be somewhere around where baseball is now, hanging on to die hards and otherwise being a niche sport. MJ > Kobe but Kobe was a pretty damn good second.

Yeah I know, it's like people here don't basketball.

>>74026572
you don't understand, he will force a teammate to take a lower percentage shot because he doesn't want to hurt his percentages. He will sit on a halfcourt heave instead of flinging it because he doesn't want to hurt his percentages. It is just as selfish as numberpadding if not more so.

>Passes to next player inside of the paint (Sabonis)
>Paint is full of defenders (Lebron, Love, Thompson)
>Forced to take a shot with shot clock running down on one
>BRICK
>Defensive rebound (Thompson).
>Possession change

This is a prime example of forcing a teammate to make a bad shot, because YOU lack the confidence of your own capabilities and chose to pass on an open shot.

I just gave you an example of forcing a teammate to take a bad shot and explained why this would occur. You're trying to apply it to Durant while I'm focusing on fallacy of your argument.

>“It depends on what I’m shooting from the field. First quarter if I’m 4-for-4, I let it go. Third quarter if I’m like 10-for-16, or 10-for-17, I might let it go. But if I’m like 8-for-19, I’m going to go ahead and dribble one more second and let that buzzer go off and then throw it up there. So it depends on how the game’s going.”
