Oh nice, he only needs score nearly 3x more that to catch Booker

Damn Utah look so vulnerable. The lack of consistent playmaking seems like it will really hurt them in the playoffs.

Need them to win this game so that OKC can move up to the 5th spot. Hayward is Roberson's bitch.

the scariest thing about that Booker game is that he wasn't even shooting that well from 3

if he was on fire from 3, he could have easily hit 81, maybe even more

>>74879968
i bet anything that if i look at the highlights or find the full game somewhere, his teammates began feeding him every possession after he hit like 55 or 60 just so he can try to beat 81. what happened did he not have enough time to go for 81?

>>74880021
i dont really see the issue desu, the game was fairly close, it wasn't a massive blowout like 30 points

sure, kobe's was more impressive because it was sustained pretty much the whole game while booker got hot in the second half

they stopped going for it around 45 seconds iirc, and let the clock run out

boston fags are just mad because they got embarassed on their home floor and their fans were cheering for another player, crowder hates that shit. thin skinned faggot desu, ive always hated that guy since he booped Wall

>>74880021
his team was purposely fouling boston to get possession back without losing time basically the entire 2nd half of the game lmao

>>74880021
What's wrong with feeding a guy if he's hot? Simple logic man.

I agree. I'd be fine with it if the game was close but this is just sad. The famous game where David Thompson dropped 73 (only to lose the scoring title to George Gervin who dropped 63 later that day) was a 137-139 loss. The game where Robinson dropped 71 ended up 112-97 in favor of the Spurs.

Lets use this thread i guess

I feel kinda bad for the Ball bros after finding our their mom had a stroke. I know what that's like... I have a feeling that it's gonna fuck them up big time. Their father is still a piece of garbage, though.

Anyone wanna lick westbrooks toes and rubs on his abs in a non gay way

>>74888208
Imagine if their mom died. Lavar would literally be cut off from the Ball family forever. He wouldn't get a dime.

As the reporter says, there’s an unconfirmed report out there that says Ball’s mother, Tina, suffered a stroke, citing an anonymous source close to the family.

An excerpt from that story:

>“Wow. You nailed it. Although you don’t even know the half of it. Lavar took over the high school program, added the Coach, his puppet (which is why he quit last year after becoming the national coach of the year) and Lavar stepped on and crushed countless other kids’ careers and love for the game to get his kids on the court. If you are allowed to shoot at any time from any where and never come out of the game, any decent idiot could score 30 points.Also, Tina Ball, his wife had a stroke on Feb 21. She had life threatening skull surgery to relieve brain pressure – guess where Lavar was during the operation that could have killed his wife? – at the CHHS vs. LB Poly game with his sons, including Lonzo. He still has not allowed his kids to see their sick mother due to the media attention it would bring to him, and cause BBB sales to diminish. [Name of hospital] in [City of hospital], CA – Tina is there now and he only visits for 1 hour a few days a week, while her Mother has yet to leave her side. Pathetic!!!”
Regardless of whether or not it’s true, asking a player about his mother’s health when he’s on the podium is an unacceptable move. If you’re truly working on that story, find another way to get to Ball or the school’s media relations person and ask it privately.

Well apparently he has his own youth league and is rich already. His kids wouldn't hold a grudge for something that was out of his control but I know what that moment is gonna be like when they get to see their mother and I honestly don't know how to feel about him not letting them see her yet. There's still hope that she can recover to a more functioning state so maybe he wants to wait till she's a bit better.

You clearly didn't watch the game then.

It got the point towards the end where the Celtics weren't really even trying to play defense because the Suns only cared about getting Booker his shots and the game was already decided by that point.

Has nothing to do with being mad as a C's fan, good for Booker it was entertaining to see him get 70.

But that entire final quarter was super dumb, literally the Green teamers were cheering on Booker because the game was already over and all they cared about was Booker scoring.

It was an awful game.

I know, that's why I'm saying it's hard to place him correctly. I have no clue what stats even prove how good or bad his defense was. He was better than Magic offensively IMO and can't possibly be worse on defense since Magic didn't even have any all-defense selections when they existed.

Most people here haven't even watched anyone older than Kobe play. They were born in the late 90s and were like 5 when Kobe was dominating. Most of them barely even have memories of anyone older than Lebron.

>>74889094
Yeah its pretty difficult for anyone who played extensively pre-73/74. Magic's defense was alright as far as I can tell but he wasn't elite. He did lead the league in steals twice and he's 3rd all time in playoff steals (for now, give lebron a couple series this year and that might change) and he's 19th in steals per game and 21st in steals.

kids nowadays turn on kobe highlights and think he was alright. i remember there was a point where everything kobe threw up past half court went in, no matter how difficult. normies pretending like curry is the first guy to hit some meme shots, no, mcgrady did it too. arenas had a season of it, remember hibachi?

that wasnt an attack on kobe or the lakers its just people look back on players in only a positive way, the idea of kobe being "clutch" is based on people remembering game winning shots but nobody remembers the bricks. Nobody remembers the bricks.

>>74889155
they have the chemistry now though, before when they had him week one even week 2 they didn't have enough chemistry, and the momentum/confidence to take on the memes without a KD, if the play-offs were right now and the memes had no KD pelicans would win it. even with KD, an injured no conditioning KD, the pelicans would win it.
the play-offs are about match ups in terms of position, a single player could fuck it all up if it's a bad match up. The memes have no answer for Boogie, and Gaymond Gay would have his hands full with AD. And you know what? AD and Boogie can hit the meme, play the post. They dont need boogie running on the break, only AD which he can, Boogie cna be the trailing big to slam it an jam it.

You should stop wiggling you're moose to japanese kiddo pron and watch some pellies instead of obsessing over the celtics manlet, seriously the celtics arent going to do shit, watch them blow it all up in the off-season.

You are correct in this one
Kobe is 7 or 8 depending on how you feel about Timmy
You are correct in this one

Kobe is worse than Shaq though. All he has is 1 more ring and being a more prolific scorer.

>>74890148

unbeatable if done right

>>74890734
This, if LeLazy wins another ring (especially against the most stacked team since his Heatles) im fine with him top 5, you could argue top 3 and maybe top 2 at that point

But right now i dont like it

Extra money teams gotta pay if they go over the cap to sign someone

Last year the luxury tax teams were:
Cavs- 55m
Clippers-20m
Warriors-14m
Thunder-14m
Spurs-5m
Rockets-5m
Bulls-4m

>>74890856
Westbrook does what he always does, Golden state runs 2 offenses ;)

>>74891273
Basically, if your team is over the salary cap you have to pay x amount to the league for every dollar over the cap you are, and that money gets redistributed to the teams under the cap. So for example if a team is 1.5 million over the cap they have to pay 2.25 million to the league.

>>74891450
Also the ratio is increased as the amount over the cap increases. If a team is 40 million over the cap, for instance, they're paying 230 million to the league.

Oh geez apparently I was wrong. The increases only apply to the money earned in that tier i.e. the first 4,999,999 is at 1.5, then the next 5 million is at 1.75 and so on. There's also an increase for repeat offenders. A 40 million overage would cost $163,749,999.85.

>>74891910
>kd chokes finals to lebron to get his first ring
>lebron will choke a finals to get kd his first ring
will it happen lads? are we all getting trolled?

>>74891847

because they are paying TT 18 million a year and JR 14 million, and shump 10 million in addition to 3 max contracts

>>74891847
Remember that Curry's contract is only 11 million per year, which is less than Klay, Draymond and KD.

what are they doing.

I'm laughing at all these niggas hating on my Celties. Who would've thought a manlet like IT would shit on everyone around him and drag our sorry team to the playoffs as the #2 seed after sucking ass in previous years. I think people are still salty about the Patriots taking a huge dump all over everyone and winning yet another championship, in a most unlikely fashion. Feels good to live in the best sports city in the u s of A.

P.S. the pressure is on you Cleveland..we comin for dat #1 seed

>>74892825
They're going all-in on the Durant meme. In the end he's going to be the last man standing because Curry's eventually going to fucking hate playing with him the way Westbrook did.

>>74892825
shaun livingston is not that important to be desu, a decent pg who can hit three's would be just fine

keeping iguodala should be priority tho

Durant is leaving. Meme state is about to get memed on by the slim mercenary. It's going to be pretty funny

>>74893003
If THIS team gags in the playoffs then there'll be no escaping the choker label for Durant. We'll learn that there was never any Based God's Curse, that his failure was all his own fault all this time and continues to be.

Winning a chip in Leaveland counts as like 3. And rings are a team stat. Not a individual stat. So if you're judging who had the better career you would have a point. But if you are judging who is the best player of all time then why would you make rings the biggest point to be made on who the best player of all time is?

>>74893446

nd destroying ISIS

2013 - Lebeta wins only because Pops had a senile moment and took Duncan out of the game on the most crucial play, leaving Bosh to battle against a bunch of midgets for the rebounds. Of course Lebeta bricks his 3 attempt and gets bailed out by the (currently still) greatest shooter of all time.

2016 - Lebeta bitches and moans about apemond swinging at the air after getting provoked by being stepped over, AFTER the game was over. Silver steps in and stretches the series out by suspending Green for game 5. Coincidentally, GSW's best rim protector gets his knee sniped by JR. Everybody knew it was over for the Warriors at that point.

Kobe's still better than LeBron.

The big question: if Asik dies, does that mean the the Pels don't have to pay his salary?

>>74896739
depends on his contract

if it's some illness or injury that was not under his control then that contract will be guaranteed to his immediate family.

If he OD'd on drugs or chose to jump off a cliff then I think teams would get an exception on his contract.

again it all depends on what his contract entails

It doesn't take that much, especially if you are in the top .1% of earners (as most of them earn money through capital gains, thus getting taxed less than someone making 40k a year) which makes it an even bigger joke IMO. The poor people who voted against their best interests are already getting fucked up the ass, and they're lucky Trumpcare didn't pass because they'd be paying even more money for even less healthcare coverage. It's astonishing how uneducated half the population is when it comes to voting issues, but that is one party's goal I guess
