if lebron focused ONLY on scoring and had his team mates feed him every possession I believe he could score 81 just like kobe.

The problem is, even on the games where he goes off and goes on his scoring rampages he still tries to rebound, assist, play defense, etc. His IQ and passing ability are too high, so if he gets double and triple teamed he'll just pass out of it ten times out of ten. Not because he couldn't handle it, but because it's just stupid to not utilize your team mates. Couple this with the fact that he never goes all out during the regular season and we likely won't see him score that much in one game ever. But the possibility is there.

>>74203396
Casey is infuriating. Plays Norm so little, plays Ross entirely too much, CONNOT run an offensive possession and for whatever reason can't get his team to buy in on defense. If you put Casey on the Hawks they don't even make the playoffs.

>>74203428
LeBron is at the very least on Kobe's level as a scorer. Remember Kobe shot 45-46% for most of his career and only has like 3 seasons with 30+ a game and Bron has 2. Both of them are 27 a night type players in terms of skill in their prime but LeBron is more efficient.

When LeBron dropped 61, he had 5 assists, shot 22/33 for 66%. When Kobe had 81 he had 2 assists and shot 28/46 and TWENTY free throws.

I don't think Bron could score 80 because his style of play is extremely tiring but in their primes they were equally as good scorers at least.

One of the harder things for non athletes to understand about athletes is how much stuff that "looks" homosexual happens among athletic bros.

Take the AD video at Kentucky for example. I mean a little ass fingering in the locker room among bros isn't gay, it's not even sexual, it's just horsing around yanno. Nobody is getting chubs from it, and even if they do it's no big deal cuz I mean sometimes we just gotta release in the comforts of friendly bro company and nobody cares cuz WE ALL DO IT.

So Buddy grabbed a dick. Big shit, that doesn't make him gay. Hell he prolly gets pussy you wizards couldn't even dream of. But if he wants to size a guy up between the lines, slap em together to see who is bigger, so to speak, then that's his right as an athlete. And you anime watching losers are in no place to question his sexuality.

tldr; fuck off virgins you don't get the culture

why did Aaron Hernandez kill those two guys instead of just chilling the fuck out and making a shitload of money playing football?

some people are psychopaths, and Cousins is a psychopath. He isn't quite Hernandez bad, but he's worse than Sprewell.

>>74203610

yes hes like top 5 in FTA per game but literally every single time he scores in the paint theres so much contact its ridiculous, i would be pissed 24/7 as well

Shit, I remember when I was trying to make the team my freshman year of high school one of the older team captains came up to me and made me put my mouth around his willie. Now there's really nothing gay about that, it was all good fun and kind of hazing if you will, but you can bet your sweet ass I tried even harder to make the team after. not because it was gay or anything but because we bonded as team mates that day and I think he was trying to motivate me. Sadly I didn't make the team and never got any more willie time but that's okay because like I said I'm not gay.

Nah you're completely off-base.

They were within a couple fractions of each other in TS% before LeBron went to Miami and became an insufferable stat padder who wouldn't take anything but wide open shots even if it hurt the team. There isn't even much of a TS% gap now, with LeBron having spent half his career with multiple superstars to give the toughest looks too and Kobe having had his retirement years drag the averages down.

Masai has been fine. His drafting has been off but not actually that bad, they did draft Norman Powell, in a way (traded by the Bucks but it was the raptors who actually picked him I believe). Only pick I was upset about was Jakob over Sabonis, I really thought they were going to pick Sabonis.

Masai has done fucking wonders with trades though, I have nothing against him and I think he's been good. Only wish he'd replace Dwane "iso" Casey.

>>74204258
It looks like they've got things under control for now.

>>74204258

Its not even close to sac

>>74204232
It was under Masai's tutelage that DeRozan became so good, I think he genuinely has created a pretty good culture. Obviously DeRozan is responsible for himself to a large degree but the culture does matter. DeRozan was not expected to be this good, and he wasn't this good for a while. People actually lambasted his 9.5 million a year contract he signed a while back.

what the fuck is that? he decide retirement long ago but decide to keep playing?

kobe played like he could drop 81 points every night even through bad shooting nights

what did the most damage was playing in a shit team post shaq until gaol came and rescued his ass with some more rings

bron is nothing more than a scoring version of magic he looks to assist teammates early on to get them going to he can pass them the game winning shot he takes over the scoring in between quarters and shows off his athleticism to pump up the home crowd and his teammates

>>74204771
Crabbe could be traded if the team desperately wants a efficient three point shooter. Doubt they trade Turner since he's finally starting to mesh well with the team. Leonard in theory should be the easiest to trade because his contract is cheaper but holy hell does he suck.

So have the Spurs been exposed right, now? They have Kawhi and Aldridge plus some role players and no one else who can really score. So what kind of 4D chess is Pop going to do to trade for a piece they need?

Wall is shook.

>>74205559
He's going to draft a PG that can replace Tony Parker and in the meantime Patty will be the starter when Tony retires. Then the same for Manu.

Only trade he's making is to get higher in the draft.

It doesn't matter if you lose to scrubs in the regular season as long as you beat the teams you gotta beat

>>74206385
Yeah, but can they? Spurs won the first game of the season against the Warriors but can they do it again? They only really have two scores Aldridge and Kawhi. Everyone else on that team has trouble getting into double digits. Current GSW will destroy a team that doesn't have several good scorers and that's not the Spurs right now. They can out D most teams but the current dubs are too good at scoring and have crazy D too. Kawhi and Aldridge will not be enough by themselves.

>muh isoball

Casey will not take this team to the finals, in fact this team might be a first round exit again

I'd prefer they miss the playoffs altogether and blow this shit team up

>>74206205
Murray's ceiling is a good backup. That's it.

This draft is loaded with great PGs. Pop is going to try and get a star here. Spurs have a history or "tanking" to get their guy. But this time they'll trade off someone for a better player on a higher draft pick.

According to "Chris Broussard" (bear with me, I know he's an awful reporter and left for FS1 because not even ESPN wanted him) KD has been seriously thinking about going to the Warriors since November of last year.
This makes sense when you really think about it.
And KD NEVER throughout the season thought OKC could beat the Warriors, had already given up on the franchise, so when they beat the Spurs, AND went 3-1 on the Warriors even he didn't expect any of this and was conflicted the entire time.

So this seriously leads me to believe that KD had already given up in the regular season and may have thrown the WCF because his heart wasn't in it 100%.

Also KD tried to rent out that steak house knowing full well that Russell Westbrook goes to that same steak house after every home game with his teammates.
So KD was trying to start shit this entire time yet was too scared to get close to Westbrook the entire game yet tried to step up to Andre Roberson even tho he didn't get fouled and fell down on his own momentum after running full speed like a retard knowing he's a 7 foot tall string bean that can't stop on a dime.

>>74206737
>murrays ceiling is a good back up

Haha get the fuck out. Never post here again

>>74206718
Isoball is a legit strategy but only when the player is actually good at playing iso.

DeRozan isn't on that level.

>>74206857
Who else gets the ball in that situation and makes a shot? Lowry?

Nobody else even bothered to be open if DD even bothered to pass.

Should Raps blow it all up and forget about playoffs for a couple years?

>>74206871
DD can't be on the acceptable level of isoball because he can't shoot threes. It makes him to vulnerable to double teams in the midrange.

Lowry is better at isoball because his range is everywhere and he proved this by carrying the team to the ECF in very tight games against the Heat and Pacers.

For the Raps to ultimately succeed they need better chemistry and passing.
It's very true other players need to get themselves open and create passing lanes.

I think if they can get that down and at least a PF that can shoot threes they'll move to the next level.

Hope for Ibaka to come there in FA and Bosh to rise from the dead after the NBA's new CBA made health board approves him.

I think the Raptors have a serious chance to land both of them.

>>74206911
>Ibaka

Isn't he a one year rental? Doesn't Orlando want the farm for him?

I'm fine with Bosh coming back but no way would he even be close to his former self

>>74206943
I said land him in FA. He's going to be a FA this off season.

Bosh just needs to shoot threes and play defense and I believe he can still do it.

OKC needs to trade for Lou Williams or Wilson Chandler.

>>74206974

OKC get Lou Williams and Bully

>>74207433
You're wrong you casual

>>74207505
He's right. Beal is injury prone and his shot can fall off and has in the past. And he's not good enough of a slasher to overcome that.

He's shooting 60.5 percent within 3 feet. And every 3 point shooter is somewhat streaky. Beal is less streaky than you think, tho

And yeah he's injury prone but we'll see if he misses any more time. He's only missed a few games at the beginning of the year

Beal is a good "slasher" you retard. He's an above average scorer in almost every category, he isn't just a 3 point shooter. You don't know what you're talking about. Most the wizards 2 point buckets come from a porter/beal slash coming off an off-ball screen or a wall midrange pullup.

>>74207746
I LITERALLY Just said FG% isn't what makes you a good slasher and you post FG%'s.

Are you saying Westbrook is a worse slasher than Beal?
It's about ability and actual skill.

Isaiah Thomas is one of the best slashers in the league because he knows how to split double teams, take contact, and get past most defender's hips despite being a fucking midget.
Beal lacks this and only attempts to slash when he sees his defender is out of position or sees a open lane to drive through.
He can't create space and get defenders off position with his athleticism or handling skills. He's clearly a shooter.

You don't know shit.

Do it for the culture.

>>74207789
His best skill is as a 3point shooter but he can score in many different ways, he can attack double teams as a slasher too. He might not be as good at it or westbrook but he's not bad at driving. You haven't watched him much this year if you think he's bad near the rim.

>>74207777
Quads confirm. Everyone go home

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_IbIMUbh-k

>>74207817
Near the rim doesn't matter, that's finishing, not being a slasher.

When you see someone has a high FG% near the rim as a guard that usually means they're only finishing with minimum resistance or attacking a open lane due to a mistake made by the defense.
Not a sign of being a good slasher.

Even guys like Ish Smith and Lue Williams are clearly better slashers than Beal.

One of the reasons Curry had one of the best FG% in the league last year is because he only attempted a layup when it was open due to all the spacing and confusion caused by his and the rest of his teammate's great three point shooting leaving the paint wide open and centers not protecting the rim.

This doesn't mean he's a good slasher, just that he's a smart player and takes advantage of easy layups.
While guys like Westbrook, IT, Wall, etc. are constantly working to get defenders to make mistakes and create openings themselves and even if a defender is right on them they can work them off their hips to get a step ahead to layup.

>>74207895
But beal takes guys off the dribble all the time this season. He's no a spot up shooter. His dribble moves are much improved from last season, and when his jumper isn't falling he can rely on that. He's not as bad as you think, he's actually pretty solid.

I spy with my little eye.

>ThePhiladelphia 76ersare continuing to work the phones to find a potential trade partner forJahlil Okafor, but in the meantime, the second-year center has been left flapping in the breeze.

>With a trade seemingly on the horizon, the Sixers have been holding Okafor out of action, likely to prevent him from getting injured. Hedid not travel with the teamfor its upcoming two-game road trip that will lead into the All-Star break, and head coach Brett Brown said management has been very open and upfront about what's going on.

>"Jahlil Okafor's situation is transparent," Brown told reporters after shootaround in Charlotte on Monday, according toCSN's Jessica Camerato. "He's in the middle of being discussed in trade scenarios. So I felt that it complicates things to play him the last game, and now clearly this is continuing on. That's the reason he isn't here. ...

>"It isn't completely structured. His life is right now up in the air a little bit. We're mindful of that, we're respectful of that. We'll progress as it unfolds."

>While it would seem the Sixers have passed the point of no return when it comes to trading Okafor, Brown insisted there's no animosity between the player and team, and that Philadelphia would be happy to keep him if no palatable agreement is reached.

{"He'll come back in and he will be welcomed with open arms with teammates that like him and respect him," Brown said. "They are friends. He'll come back into a coaching staff that likes him and respects him because we care for him. He still is ours until somebody tells us he isn't."
