it's literally just westbrook and harden with a few dumbasses hyping kawhi. The only reason people think it's even that close is because the past 4 were extremely obvious.

Look at any race before the 2010's and it's usually this close. Also, harden should be MVP

>>74810507

Not everyone is blessed with high bbiq like Ingram to run actual plays

his range is back to normal shooting guard distances now then

your dude was making the excuse that your shooter's poor 3p% was him not getting any practice shots in a live game as if a jumpshooting team wouldn't be defended on the perimeter by any competent defense. 3/9 and that's the likes of Seth Curry and Wes Matthews running him off.

By default, though. Whoever makes the 8 seed is trash, and the Thunder are a one man show that won't beat anyone good. I agree that the guy you're responding to is a moron, but there's not really stiff competition for being "one of the more dangerous playoff teams".

>>74811679
>>74811683

The jizzlies are a fucking joke. Their shitty offense is going to fold to any kind of extended gameplanning and they already play playoff D all year long. Teams would much rather deal with them than go to denver and deal with their high powered offense or deal with the chuckers in Portland

>>74811683
Nope. Spurs/Grizz match negates any age disadvantage Spurs have against any of those other teams, and Spurs have been running pace and space far longer than Fizzdale's experiment. Sweep in 6.

The reason he left is because of ungrateful leeches like you. He's in a better place now, he even hangs out with the Golden State bros over @ reddit.

Face it, you were never man enough for KD now she's with another man, and you can't handle it, that man literally came into your house last night and fucked your girl in your bed.

Just kill yourself Westbrook, no amount of triple doubles will ever bring her back.

Lakers are bad but not this bad. Tanking by playing two rookies, a dleaguer, a 3rd year player and a 2nd year player major minutes

Bertans will be the next Klay Thompson

Pop is playing him as a 4, sometimes 5 when he played like Belinelli in the euroleague, i don't understand. Hope it happens next season.

Well they fluctuate. If Dlos shot is falling, his 3pt specifically, they can be a fringe playoff team. When its not, they are nearly Nets tier

This is the blessing and the curse of the new generation of PGs

here's the thing if he is "weak" meantally does that mean he's not a great player? I mean look at his stats over his career, if he was "strong" somehow would he be putting up better #?s

4 is the power forward

>>74812550
>2009

so ppl grow and change their viewpoints that tweet was 20 years ago, do you hold the same thoughts as you did 30 years ago???

>>74812561
playing the 4 means a player is the desginated scorer on the team, the 5 means he's not supposed to shoot only play D...

so is the final solution to the 'rest' thing just going to be a rule where you have to rest players in games that arent on national TV

>>74812602
thats good enough already

>>74812588
the word degenerate has become a signal for people who are loonies and that should be disregarded fyi

>>74812602
that still punishes fans, esp since a lot of teams set prices based on teams their team is playing...

silver says there will be repercusions to rest but he didn't say what because it's impossible to inforce....

>>74812627
it's kind of become a alt right thing, which i woudln't be suprised to find out that >>74812588
is alt right since he still calls ppl the f word...

>>74812602
there's already talk of making the season 10 days longer (but still 82 games), which is supposed to lead to fewer back to backs

also something about number of miles flown in a given time frame

>>74812602
They gotta remove back to backs
Now if players are still dnp rest after that, Silver needs to call them out

If you rest a game you forfeit your earnings from that game, that's what needs to happen it's the bottom line.

They can't enforce that. Rest is just going to turn into back spasms and knee soreness. LeBron was right and there's nothing Silver can do about it

>>74812627
Well it doesn't really matter in this world where nobody wants to listen to each other and stay in their own little subcultures and beliefs.

So fuck you, degenerate.

>>74812675
many times it's a coach's call to "rest" it's unfair to punish the player, plus most guys who rest are stars and a game check doesn't mean shit to them...

>>74812675
This, should be spread out to the fans in attendance and refund/discount their tickets

>>74812657
i dont think those will do much

good teams have no incentive to care in the regular season except about getting the best seed

if you really want the best seed, the best thing to do is go whole hog against the easy teams and then rest during against the hard teams. the games against the hard teams are also the national tv showcase games.

theres too much incentive to not try during difficult regular season games. the league office will have to codify some actual hardline rules about when or how you can rest. taking away a few back to backs doesnt stop it from being a smart decision to sit out that away game at GSW or san antonio or whatever.

>>74812568
yes, it does. he's scoring significantly less than last year, including a bit in rebounds and assists too

also weed is definitely degenerate, if you smoke weed you are more likely to develop schizophrenia

>>74812710
>where nobody wants to listen to each other and stay in their own little subcultures and beliefs.

The solution is that players must be out at least 3 games on injured reserve.

>>74812675
Too bad it will never happen because the league is cucked by the NBPA and the players would do a lockout if they even tried that.

LOL listen here I have a degree in general psycology from UCSC, and in my studies I've never heard of this bull shit, but whatever man keep gobbling up that propgonda the alchohal lobby is serving you...

>>74812771
they will get a high draft pick and take either fultz or ball which will be awkward for dlo, I guess he moves to the 2???

I haven't seen enough lakers games to know if he can play without the ball

>>74812831
anime is trash and only works on /a/. a costanza or literally any other reaction image is perfectly fine anywhere else.

problem is none of them connected at all, it's nice that they actually threw punches but both were whiffs...

>>74813311
DLo is too small for SG full time. And he's better than Ball. Lakeys should just do a draft day trade if they get #2 and trade Clarkson and the pick for a good young player.

tell you wat if you are in sf I'll fight you anytime, if you are going to be in LA during anime expo(july1-4th ithink) just name a place and I'll fight you there as well...

>>74813464
he's for sure big enough but he's a player who needs the ball in his hands all the time, not sure if he can adjust to having someone else do that and playing off ball

>>74813464
If you are an athletic freak like Oladipo or Wade. Other, it is not big enough.

can any team besides cavs beat top west teams in a 7 game series? honestly..

He's alright as a 9th or 10th man. He's a solid defender in a Wade type body and like Wade can block very well for a guard.

Limited scorer but threat on the fast break because of his athleticism Him and Brewer are fun to watch together.
