Ibaka is one of the most underrated players in basketball, and this is not coming from a raptors fan (only ever watched one raptors game they're so boring).

I just realized most of the old /nba/ trips are long gone.

I've been to 4 kings games and they lost every game.

basically if you spam memes nothing else matter

rebounding doesnt matter
points in the paint doesnt matter
mid range shots dont matter

I can agree. Cavs should have won in 2015 and Warriors in 2016. In both cases the losing team was better. Injuries hurt both teams. There is the LeBron effect though which might allow the Cavs to upset again this year.

I've heard he's a bit of Jason Collins, if you know what I mean...

So who will end up being better with their new team in the future.

Noel or McDermott?

Westbrook is Anthony Davis's gay lover. His so called relationship with Nina is just a front, sorta like Aaron Rodgers front. Why do you think we never see Nina with him in public? It's part of the reason Westbrook and Davis are joining forces in LA soon.

[Anthony Slater]: "Warriors are expected to sign Jose Calderon once he works out a buyout with the Lakers, per team sources."

He can refuse to sign with the team that drafts him but he cannot turn around and immediately sign with another NBA team.
I think he would have to wait a year (probably he'd play overseas).

>>74392839
To be fair, every game against the Rockets should be considered an exception since the game will literally boil down to how many 3s the Rockets knock down. Nevermind defense and 2s, it's always going to be a shootout against them

wow boogie is really legit a team cancer.

I dunno why I doubted you Vlade, it's obvious you did the best you could and got the most you could out of that trade. It's not your fault boogie was trash and nobody offered you anything for him, you knew it, every team in the league knew it and was smart to stay away, but for some reason the media thought you could get legit pieces for him and were too quick to call the trade bad. We all again fell for the inflated stats on a bad team meme, just like with Kevin Love.

I truly want to apologize for any criticisms I made of this trade. Boogie is indeed a cancer and a net negative, while Buddy Heild may indeed become the next steph curry.

well he still has 2 more sons left to not disappoint him.

But seriously I'm wondering what he's gonna do when all 3 turn out to be busts and are out of the league in 5 years. Like, does he just disown them? Must be a lot of pressure to put on a kid knowing if you don't make it in the NBA your dad will never love you

>>74393477

Mavs went from a team who's 2 best young players a year ago were Justin Anderson and Dwight fucking Powell to somehow acquiring Harrison Barnes, Seth Curry, Nerlens Noel, Yogi Ferrell, and Dorian Finny-Smith all without the use of a draft pick.

We should have started rebuilding years ago.

The top 3 seeds in the West have a better record than the #1 seed in the East, and 6 teams in the West with at least as many wins as the #3 seed in the East.

Here's your (you)

>>74397155
cavs don't care about the regular season
celtics have finally been playing up to bar, should have 42-ish wins by now
raptors have ibaka and look to be contending for #1 seed

also the 8th seed in the west is a pure, umitigated dumpster fire. never seen a spot that undeserving.

>>74396589
Manlets, they've learned.

>>74397192
>cavs don't care about the regular season
Because their conference is always so shitty they don't even have to try to get a good seed

>also the 8th seed in the west is a pure, umitigated dumpster fire. never seen a spot that undeserving.
So your saying this is your first year watching the NBA because that's been the story of the 8th seed in the East for like a decade?

>>74397432
Record-wise, the 8th seed in the east is sometimes equal. But they're not usually rebuilding teams and are actually somewhat competent when they make the playoffs (i.e. the 2008 hawks who were like 37-45 and took the championship celtics to 7 games.

>>74397742
Your entire argument is
>Da east is better bcuz their 8 seed is better
Of course completely ignoring the fact that the 1-7 seeds in the west all have a better record than their corresponding seeds in the East, and the 8 seed is the West is only 2 games behind the 8 seed in the East. Wow, what a gap!

I can't sand those fuckers who want the 3pt line moved back. It will just increase the value of elite shooters. GSW will get stronger .

>>74396354
Noel is a mistake , he wants the max next year.

>Okafor is actually trying his best and rebounding now
Could he become...decent?

>>74398870
they know and they are going to give it to him, why do you think they traded for him?

>>74398870
Everyone said the same thing about Barnes.

Noel is 22, and his per 36 min stats are really good. The Mavs will happily give him the max to keep him.

>>74399022
A lot changes when you don't have 3 players at the same position

>>74399022
He showed a lot of potential last year. He's good, but he was stuck in a logjam for a team he thought was going to trade him

>>74399022

Most importantly, he had 6 (!) offensive rebounds. He was putting in effort last night, even if he defense is still suspect at times, I'll take that.

It wouldn't surprise me if they were giving him more shots (he had 19 last night, season high I believe) so they can shop him in the offseason, perhaps packing him with their draft pick to move up in order to grab Issac.

Embiid is out until the middle of next month, I think, and at some point they'll consider shutting him down for the season too.

I think they can still pull off 5-7 wins this season, judging by how much Embiid plays, they got some rough games against the Warriors, Clippers, Bucks, Cavs, Raptors multiple times.

>>74399357
Why draft Issac? I know Issac can play the 3/4. But Holmes, Simmons, Saric can all play the 4, but Simmons can also play the 3( If he can find a jumpshot). Holmes will be off the bench. But Simmons and Saric are starter materiel for the 3 and 4 spot. Sixers need to draft guards. Issac is projected in the early lottery(4-8). No one is willing to give up a loterry pick for Okafor unless he plays like he did last night more and more for the rest of the season.

How many years do you think it'll take Ingram to be an all star?

Demarcus is gonna have a hard time adjusting as the second option in New Orleans. The Pelicans are gonna be easy to defend since only 2 players are a threat.

>>74400107
At least they have a future unlike the KANGZ

>>74400128
No they don't. They won't have any salary to sign free agents if they resign Demarcus. He's probably gonna get traded next season when then pelicans got 8-28

deGOATzan for fiddy tonight?

>>74401353
2016 NBA Finals

>>74401353
Advanced stats say so

He is having higher usage rates so his numbers are inflated. At best he is third fiddle on a championship team

>>74401353
Even after working with Shamgod his dribbling is still mediocre and he's not much of a passer.

1st option on a bad team, 2nd option on a good team, 3rd option on a contender.

Right now he's just steering the course for Dallas until they find their new franchise player. Kind of like Michael Finley's role.

Man its weird to think that if Durant stayed in OKC< they'd be the #1 seed

Good news! My ankle sprain is almost 100%

>>74402442
they never really fully heal. you would have been better off if you broke it

>>74402442

I rolled my ankle bad coming down for a rebound in 2009 and it still hurts sometimes at night. It also gets sore if I walk for a long time. Also after your first sprain it's much easier to injure it again.

>>74399605

Monk might be a better fit, but I like Issac's length and versatility. 76ers will also potentially have the Lakers pick so they might be able to get both.

Something like

Simmons, Monk, Covington, Dario, Embiid. That's pretty versatile, and in some ways is similar to the lineup of a big PG, a small 2 guard and a defensive minded 3 that the 80s Lakers used to run with. Then you got Issac to pair with Okafor and TJ off the bench.

>No one is willing to give up a loterry pick for Okafor unless he plays like he did last night more and more for the rest of the season.

I'm hopefully Okafor will be content to stay on as a backup, but we can't be paying him big cash if we weren't willing to do the same with Noel who was a better defender. I think he gets moved one way or another. I'm very afraid of where Colangelo will do to save his job desu.

>>74403894

Also I'm not sure how long the Simmons at PG experiment will go on. I like him better at SF, but bringing the ball up and initiating the offense. That also makes it less confusing on defense.

What the 76ers need is a true two guard who can shoot (not Henderson) and a defensive guy like Smart off the bench.

Rockets can take them to 6 games, I think. If they tired them out enough, I think the Spurs can finish them off.

I am still secretly hoping that OKC manages to fall to 8 and then Warriors have to play OKC, Houston and then San Antonio before stumbling their way to Cleveland.

>>74404526

As much as I love the Thunder and want to see WB go apeshit on them, I think the Nuggers might actually give them more problems in a playoff series. Nuggets match up better and have the crazy home court altitude advantage which seems to fuck everyone up. I think the Nuggets can take them to 6

>>74404224
Without LeBron, Love, Smith, Dwill, or bogut. Plus Korver was injured in the end.

If you seriously think that game was an indicator of cavs weakness, your tears will be filling the bay again

>>74404648
I highly doubt they would sweep in 6.

I like this Josh Jackson kid for the Lakers, he's tall and I like him and Ingram together as two defensive guys who can switch on almost anything.

>their bench isn't good

uh yeah, of course if they had their starters the would have won. We're talking about their bench, not their starters, who have played extremely poorly and get BTFO when lebron isn't there to carry them.

How can you say they're a good bench if they rely on Lebron so much?

Next season its going to be my rapties vs my lakeys in the nba finals!

>>74404097
Just tell beverly to go at curry's knees

>>74404880
3/5 of the starting 5 are out...
That means 3 bench players become starters.
Which means the bench is 3rd string guys

What does everyone mean when they say that Ingram has "raw" talent?

Luke has the weirdest rotations

Spurs bros put us out of our misery already

>>74405737

he can put the ball in the hoop, but needs to be trained to learn to play basketball in a system.

bustgram with 2 fouls already

>but he look like KD tho

https://streamable.com/cb0rd

Lol Ingram knew he was getting pulled for his 2nd foul so he put up a cheeky jumper quickly, made it too, top kek

>>74405827
But he literally hasn't had a 20 point game yet, despite playing more minutes than every other rookie.

>>74404778
Could be. If he is quick enough to defend 2s in the NBA why not.

Still not sure if Ingram can become a SG in his career and defend other SGs. Would be really beneficial for him since he is skinny as fuck.

But overall it might be better to draft a All Defensive team potential wing than a ball dominant offensive minded guard.

Is Pop good at finding talent or is it his system making scrubs look good?

>>74406689

People compared him to Durant because hes a lanky black kid who can shoot the ball. Everything I heard about Ingram pre draft was he was gonna be great... Once he puts on weight. Its a man's league and he's playing at one of the deepest positions in the league.

His shooting is underwhelming thus far, yes, i agree on that.

No one really knows why, he just wanted to spend money maybe? The the Lakers keep their pick this year all of a sudden the draft pick situation doesn't become bad and they can give away a future 1st rounder to a team if they take one of those contracts.

If Lakers draft in the top 3 I think they should trade the Houston pick to say the Nets if they take one of those contracts.

Also how many draft picks is Brook Lopez worth? Could Lakers trade for him with the 2017 Houston pick and a 2019 Lakers pick? But they take either Deng or Mozgov's contract as well? Would Brooklyn make that deal to start their rebuild?

>>74407135
