I'm still absolutely amazed by the dumb shit people in the sports media say and how much they get paid to say it.

No wonder ESPN is a sinking ship. And FS1 is literally just a contrarian base that using headline b8 to generate attention they're so desperate to expand their market.

>>74673827

We The North is a pretty good marketing campaign imo

>>74673890
Raptors media department is pretty elite. Their logos and team revamp in the last few years have been great.

>>74673910
I like how they play on the "foreignness" of Toronto instead of try and make Toronto seem like it's no different from the other teams. Even in Quebec I noticed that the Raptors are popular and there's a Sportsnet broadcast in french too. 5 years ago nobody outside a niche market in Toronto gave a fuck about basketball, now Raptors swag is cool across the country>

>>74674003
They intertwined the Raptors with nationalism and a since of Canadian pride in a lone sports franchise for a international sport.

Basketball has been growing internationally and isn't just an American thing anymore so I think people are getting awakened to that concept much like Americans have been with soccer.

>>74674003
They started announcing Raptors news on certain radio stations in Quebec now. It used to only be about hockey until this year.

How did Vince Carter make history?

>>74674081

>>74674049
>They intertwined the Raptors with nationalism and a since of Canadian pride
This makes the Raptors popularity in Quebec even more puzzling, unless of course Quebec feeds off being an outsider so the we the north, we so different notion is really taken to heart there.

https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/the-case-for-andre-roberson-as-defensive-player-of-the-year

Statistical proof Andre Roberson is DPOTY

>>74674142
>stop posting memes i don't like

>>74674525
>Enes Kanter, forever cast as a weak link, is also on this team. On the whole, Oklahoma City allows 108 points per 100 possessions with him on the court, but when he shares the floor with Roberson,the Thunder cough up an incredible 101.6, a number that trails only the San Antonio Spurs in defensive rating. When Kanter is on the floor without Roberson, the Thunder allow 113.2 points per 100 possessions. If there were 40 teams in the NBA, that'd probably rank 40th.

Rackets confirmed for Finals, right?

>>74674525
>Let's contrast how some of the best players in the league have performed against the Thunder when Roberson is on and off the floor:

>Kawhi Leonard

>Roberson on: 44.8 effective field goal percentage
>Roberson off: 54.2

>James Harden

>On: 27.7
>Off: 68.8

>LeBron James

>On: 43.1
>Off: 62.5

>DeMar DeRozan

>On: 50
>Off: 70

>Gordon Hayward

>On: 40.4
>Off: 70

>The Oklahoma City Thunder allow 5.4 fewer points per 100 possessions when Roberson is on the court. That's impressive, considering a majority of his minutes are purposefully aligned against the other team's top scoring threats.

>Only four playersaverage at least 30 minutes per game and shoot below 30 percent behind the three-point line (minimum 100 attempts): Roberson, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ricky Rubio, and Marcus Smart. All carry water on defense, but Roberson is the only one whose usage rate is below 10.

>If offense and defense were well-balanced commitments, Roberson might not be able to prepare as thoroughly as he does. Even though OKC's game plan is to stick Roberson on the opponent's top threat, he knows there will be moments where he's matched up on a different weapon with a different set of skills, be it due to a switch or the burdensome and complicated reality of transition defense.

>So before each game he carefully examines scouting reports prepared by Oklahoma City's staff that outline what he's up against: opponents' tendencies, go-to moves, what they lean on during certain points of the game and on certain areas of the floor. As he crams analysis like he's studying for a quiz, Roberson refreshes his memory with some last-minute video in the locker room.

>Take a recent win against the San Antonio Spurs. "My matchup with Kawhi: when he goes left, he likes to do his little fadeaway or a jump shot," Roberson told VICE Sports. "When he goes right, he tries to get to the rim all the way. So it's just little stuff like that."

>Little stuff like that.

today we are all warriors

>According to Synergy Sports, Roberson allows .789 points per possession, which ranks in the 91st percentile. He's graded as "excellent" or "very good" when defending the following play types: pick-and-roll ball-handlers, pick-and-roll roll men, spot-ups, off-screens, hand-offs, and post-ups.

>He ranks in the 61st percentile in isolation situations, a phenomenal ranking when you consider who he goes up against every night. So much of Roberson's overall work happens long before his man touches the ball, be it a battle for position or him denying a swing pass on the wing. He disrupts so much that can't be measured (yet) with a metric.

>But he's also one of the best at contesting shots. Even when he's out of position and ostensibly out of the frame, Roberson will throw up an arm to try and disrupt the shooter's concentration or line of sight.

>"Coaches have taught me whichever way you're sliding you throw the hand that's closest to them," Roberson said. "Because every second matters, every little contest matters, every percentage matters when it comes to winning games. It can always come down to a point or two."

Please take a moment to admire the great LeBron for the special talent he is. It never gets old looking at the King's history. So many accomplishments Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan will never achieve:

1.Only player in NBA history to quit because of Air Conditioner.
2.Quit on his team the year after he promises a championship.
3.Dunked on by a high school kid then confiscates the tape.
4.Bail on the dunk contest 9 times.
5.Only able to win a ring with 2 superstars.
6.Play on same team as his moms boyfriend.
7.Average 1.8 pts in the 4th quarter of NBA finals.
8.Lose not 1, not 2, but 4 times in the Finals.
9.Host a national televised TV show to leave his team.
10.Go 2 for 18 in an NBA playoff game.
11.Get stuffed by a player under 6 feet. (Nate Robinson)
12.Flop every single game in the playoff 5 out of 6 finals games by dropping FG% by 18.
13. shilled, voted for hillarry and got BTFO
14.0 Rings if not for refs calling early fouls on Durant and Westbrook it threw them out of rhythm, made them play soft, and sit for big parts of the game which changed the flow and momentum of the finals.
15. First person to show his dick and lose in a Finals game.
16. got shut down by a bench player who ended up getting finals MVP
17. could not post up jj barea
18.got outscored by Jason Terry in an entire finals series

>>74676279
Are you serious right now? You're so stupid kid. You must be one of those Lakers fans that thinks championships are actually important, completely ignorant to the fact that any legendary player (Duncan anyone?) would take a 55 FG% than some useless jewelry ring anyday.

You don't know anything about the PER valuations and the metrics used to accentuate intricate sample sets about autonomous principles that can be extracted to show that Kobe Bryant has never actually hit a game winner in his career. All his game winners are media hype tapes to sell shoes. Kobe is very fortunate that he's marked so well by Nike and the Lakers franchise.

ESPN and the whole 'next Jordan' narrative has you thinking Kobe is clutch but he's not, every data point that was graphed on the Cartesian plane while prime factorization was allowed to exist in a null factor showed that Kobe continued to fail theses primitive tests. Studied statistical variations in geometric localities and each and every one of their correspondent asymptotic differentiations provided me with the conclusion that your so called Kobe is the worst clutch shooter in the NBA.

Anyone else get their fantasy league jerseys yet?

>>74676479
I know we all like to joke about lebron being GOAT and all, but do we really all believe it or is it just a joke/meme at this points?

I mean just look at what harden is putting up with his shit team. Lebron isn't the best player in the league anymore... I don't care about his finals numbers every superstar puts up big numbers in the playoffs. I don't care that he's been to the finals like 20 times in a row in the weak east. I just don't buy it, if he is the best it certainly isn't by much, maybe marginally better than the top players but not nearly as big of a gap as people make it out to be. I think Harden, Kawhi, and hell maybe even Durant are just as good when they need to be.

Then there's the whole Lebron vs. MJ debate. Honestly I don't even know why it's a question MJ won 6 Lebron won 3. Seriously do people not watch basketball? MJ was the most dangerous and potent scorer the league has ever seen. Lebron is too afraid to even drive to the basket anymore and just shoots meme 3's now or cuts for a dunk. It's disgusting, Lebron is basically just a giant steph curry now. What happened to the big bad freight train Lebrontron? Haven't seen that guy since he left miami. Basically as Lebron has gotten older he's had to rely more on shooting and BBIQ and his weaknesses are getting exposed, while MJ had virtually no weaknesses to speak of. To me it's pretty clear MJ is going to remain the GOAT when all is said and done.

>>74676391

Kobe isn't even a top 10 player in NBA history. Why were Lakers fans so delusional? Is there something they put on Lakers fan apparel that cause this?

So who is making the All-Rookie teams?

All-Rookie First Team
Dario Saric
Malcolm Brodgon
Buddy Hield
Jamal Murray
Joel Embiid

All-Rookie Second Team
Brandon Ingram
Marquese Chriss
Caris LeVert
Willy Hernangomez
Ivica Zubac


The gap between first and second team is not big. So it can change from now till the end of the season. Also Ingram can make it if he keeps up his play as of late

Zubac can make the All First team if he keeps getting more time. Zubac is a stud.

I'm not saying Ingram is bad just saying he is having a bad rookie year compared to others.Ingram is more of a project player in reality. Ingram will end up as a better player than most players in the first team later in his career.

Where is Whitehead?

Which NBA team should I support?


I am looking for a team that is in the city where soccer is much more popular than basketball.


A team that is a loser.


An unpopular team.


A team that is make me laugh at your team.


I have never won the NBA finals


A team with no future


And a team that is in a city where major league soccer (MLS) is much more popular than the NBA.

Have you guys noticed how OKC rarely have OT games despite having participated in by far the most close games this season? Shit is weird as fuck.

Is the Nets coach right? When I think about it he may be right about them being the most athletic.
Timberwolves with LaVine I'd say are the second most athletic.

>>74680422
Bucks are the second when Jabari has intact knees and Parker isn't being a bum.

Can Rondo still be a starting PG for a team and be successful or is he doomed to coming off the bench for the rest of his career?

>>74680854
Until Rondo can shoot at an average rate from three and develops a runner/floater he's stuck on the bench.

Sure you can if you're good enough at something else. Tony Allen can start because he's an excellent defender. Rubio can start because he's an excellent free throw shooter. But all Rondo does is stand around on the perimeter and pass the ball when he can get an assist.

Having a good culture is only one step to building a winning team. With a bad culture teams stop trying and players only care about their next contract. With a good culture the ball moves well, players trust each other and they buy into the coach's system. Sacramento with Cousins was an example of a bad culture. No matter who you bring you can't win with a bad culture. San Antonio is an example of a good culture, they can bring in anyone and they will perform well because it's a good culture.
