>>75221244
>hardenfags saying westbrook stat pads which causes them to lose games
>now acting like westbrook is going to keep statpadding after he already holds the record and has scoring title and MVP locked up

lmao don't you realize you haven't even been playing the real OKC all season? Now that westbrook won his award it's time to get serious. No more statpadding, you will see a new Thunder out there that only is concerned with winning. Up until now Billy Donovan has basically just been letting them play pickup ball and chase pointless regular season shit. Now that the playoffs are here you're going to see a whole new Thunder, mark my words. You're in for a rude awakening if you think we are going to be an easy opponent.

lol you havent heard duncan, channing frye, and AK47 stories about WOW

http://www.poundingtherock.com/2017/3/27/15076384/tim-duncan-appeared-road-trippin-podcast

>Frye reveals at the 6:20 mark that he and Duncan used to play in the same World of Warcraft guild. They would stay up until 3 or 4 a.m. playing, which they called a “life-killer.” Frye revealed his character was named “Dookiedrawls” amid laughter — and here he is!

>The gang also poked fun at Andrei Kirilenko’s addiction to the game. He had multiple max-level characters according to Frye, which he says “Could have been sold for $100,000 each,” though this seems impossible. Frye told a story about being up at 3 a.m. the night before a game he was going to get a “DNP” and playing WoW, before seeing Andrei Kirilenko’s character run across his screen. Frye sent him a message saying to Kirilenko “Aren’t you playing tomorrow?” and getting the response “Yeah, probably.”

The door stopper is the thingy that the door hits when its completely open, LOL, to stop the door from hitting the wall because it opened so fully
*Dooooooiiiiinnnnnnggggggg*

>>75222108
plus the raptors barely lost to the cavs earlier in the year before the cavs started slumping so now that the cavs are not playing as well the raptors should win

also they didnt have ibaka and pj so theyre a better team than before even if the cavs werent total shit

Cavs didn't look that strong coming out of the season. We'll see how they look in their first 2 games.

>If the NBA hadn't established the winning standard over its past 40+ years, it would be fine to vote Westbrook. But when you take a step back and realize that Harden had the better stats 2yrs ago and lost to Curry because of that very standard which is now being tossed aside to take the award away from him, it just screams double standard by the media.

>They just don't like Harden, period. It probably has to do with his style of play, but honestly even that bias represents another unethical dimension to their reasoning. Just because I don't like Shaq's style of play--the beep-beep 18wheeler backing into the paint--further reinforced by the fact that the NBA basically officiated it out of the league once he retired, does NOT mean that I don't acknowledge how dominant a force he was when he played. Right now by making Harden a permanent bridesmaid for opposite reasons, it just reflects really poorly on each and every one of them. ESPN is fake news.

>Although Harden may lose, it gives me solace that smart basketball guys like Simmons and Lowe chose Harden over Westbrook (Lowe had Kawhi first, Harden second, Westbrook third!).


>It's apparent that Harden has the intellectuals in his corner while Westbrook's corner is filled with voters like this,

An idea floating around is to have W/L record decide the picks instead of seeding.

I'm not sure how this can stop tanking but I can get rid of some scheming between East-West teams to allow tanking, like when the Sixers during the Hinkie era traded all their vets for draft picks.

>>75227505
BTC bro catch up

>>75227455
They don't reveal the MVP voting until after the draft.

There's no extra motivation happening in the playoffs.

>>75227505
OKC beating the Nuggets locked up the 8th seed for the Blazers and knocked out the Nuggets from playoff contention.

It's mathematical, looking at the win loss record, seeding, and how many games they had remaining, even if the Trailblazers lost all their remaining games and the Nuggets won all their remaining games it's statistically impossible for the Blazers to not be the 8th seed.

Give me the 411 red pilleroni on Lillard senpaitachi.

Is he going to fire up?

>>75227590
He's already fired up. Peaked at the right moment, towards the end of the season, broke the Blazers single game points record. Nurkic going to be back for the playoffs. Said they'd win in 6 games.

It's gonna be lit.

>>75227590
Lillard is a great scorer and has really deep range, and is somewhat athletic. he's shit on defense but sometimes improves. if he's shooting well he'll sometimes stop and involve teammates. he gets blocked a lot but is great at the end of the day.

>>75227590
He's averaging the most points (27) this season than any other, his best FG% (44) than any any other season, his best FT% (89.5) than any other season, and more rebounds (368) than any other season. As of right now, he's (I'd say) the best basketball version of himself.

>>75227723
Definitely, he used to be a borderline meme chucker but is actually improving his efficiencies he'll probably peak in the next two years

>>75227723
>>75227707
Should he stay at Shitland? Or become dynasty somewhere (like OKC).

>>75225393

is Nurkic going to upset gsw?

>Tucker is under the weather and has been sent home early from practice today. DeRozan, Lowry and Casey are also battling colds

>>75227790
I want him to but because of Kevin Cuck most players in the league, especially the west, won't have a chance to win a championship anyway. I can't wait to watch him Cj and Nurkic next season. they have 3 first round draft picks so theres that aswell

Should Nurkic come into his own, and McCollum gets even better than he is now, adding on with Lillard hopefully getting even better than this season, with the addition of another good player, Lillard should stay. But if nothing changes and it's another 8th seed repeat that ends in a disappointing 4-1 defeat, Nurkic doesn't gel with Portland that well, McCollum doesn't get better, no addition of a new player, he'll need to leave FAST. His prime WILL be next season, he'll need to think long and hard where he can win for a good while and is relatively easy to advance past the second round.

since the playoffs will be on TNT that means we'll be able to stream it from nba dot com right? havent had cable for a very long time.

It's my first time watching the playoffs. I'm excited.

The Draft system in general is a stupid fucking idea. If these motherfuckers were intelligent they would separate themselves as quickly as possible from the NCAA and heavily invest in the D League (along with a better name) in order to harvest more talent from a younger age.

He already had the resume of AI and was part of the youngest starting 5 to ever make the Finals only after 4 years being drafted, a scoring champion, and scored 50 points in the Finals, one of a hollowed list of people that include MJ and Jerry West.

He was a lock for the HOF, just not 1st ballot. Look at Basketball Reference's HOF probability before this season.

Better shooters =\= better. Who on Houston is a lockdown defender or top notch rebounder?

>>75231555
>Better shooters =\= better

Think again, this is the new NBA, if you can't keep up with the three point barrage and floor spacing you're going to lose. Not even the best defenders can stop all this bias by refs to three point shooters.

>>75231555
Houstons offense>>>>>>>>>>>>>Okcs' defense. I'm just saying Russ would win a lot more games if Harden switched teams. Last season Harden was basically in Russ' spot and he barely snuck into the playoffs. Shooters>>>>Lockdown defenders in the modern nba especially considering that they can't even lockdown elite teams.

>>75231555

>>75231577

this, playoffs Roberson is going to lock harden the fuck down, no pussy gift calls in the playoffs. and when the intensity turns up, and it will with this series, players are going to get tired quicker, which means less leg strength to chuck up some memes. OKC in 6.

>>75231678
Houston is a bad matchup for okc. Not the other way around buddy.

tfw I want harden and adams to do well

>>75231742
thanks for greek freek.

Something I don't understand.

If a three point shooter is in their shooting motion and gets touched, even their body, that's a foul.

But if a person does a hook shot and their body gets touched, refs don't call fouls most of the time.

Why is this? They also used to not call offensive on centers pushing each other around in post up situations or spin moves, especially with Shaq.
Now you can't do this most of the time and they'll call a off. foul on the smallest things and people flop to draw fouls.

>Russ' teammates shoot 2% better from three off his passes 31% to 33%

>Hardens teammates 3pt% drops from 37% to 34% off his passes

Really makes you think.

>>75231742
I hope harden breaks his neck and is never able to play basketball again

Micheal Porter JR. is the fucking truth. Shame my team will remain mediocre next season so we can't have a chance to get him

>>75231768
The strange thing about Harden is that a majority of his best players shoot better when he's on the bench while Russ' teammates shoot a lot better when he's on the field which goes against the whole "he's not getting his teammates involved" narrative and makes you wonder if Harden is the real ball-hog.

>>75231754
The 3 point shot is protected at all costs. You can't even touch a shooter after the shot is taken and he's still in his jumping motion.

It's a rule to make blocking manlets alot harder desu.

>>75231781
> makes you wonder if Harden is the real ball-hog.

He is? Why the hell should one season change that? Just because you're benefitting from the DANTONI affect doesn't directly mean you aren't unselfish and forcing assists.

Steve Nash=Great playmaker. But obviously he benefitted from Dantoni, most his best assist seasons came with the suns.

James Harden= Decent Playmaker. Same thing is happening.

>>75231754
touching a shooter, even in the slightest way, affects the shot tremendously, you'd have to play basketball to know this, a little tap of the elbow or hand fucks up the trajectory of the ball, but if you're down low and have two hands on the ball at a close range, the shot wont get thrown off as much, you also have back board for enters to use and they also have bigger bodies. a little tap on deandre joran feet away wont do much, but lets say an elbow touch on jamal crawford from the meme pt line will fugg up his day.

>The Thunder also aren’t as blatant about giving Westbook rebounds as they’re made out to be. Yes, it’s conspicuous that Westbrook is pulling in 8.5 uncontested rebounds per game, up from 5.9 a season ago. But we can track how often teammates give up a rebound so that a nearby teammate can pick up the ball: It’s a stat called deferred rebound chances. This season, the number of the Thunder’s deferred chances has decreased to 16.8 per game from a league-high 17.7 a season ago. What’s changed? Well, the 6.6 uncontested rebounds per game Kevin Durant collected in 2015-16 needed to be redistributed somewhere.

>>75231860
Nylon Calculus and a ESPN insider article also debunked that one reddit post.

>>75231860
Wow you just completely destroyed an entire narrative. Now people have to question whether:

The thunders system actually allows the playmaker to grab uncontested boards to get out on the fastbreak since Kd played PG a lot.

OR

Kd himself was a statpadder and now his rebounds are just going to Russ instead.

People don't consider fowards statpadders no matter how blatant it is. Lebron grabs less contested boards than Russell but we have to discredit Russ' season for whatever reason.

Well I mean yeah. This guy has literally admitted to not shooting at the end of quarters because he didn't want to hurt his FG%. He's one of the biggest self proclaimed statpadders in the world.

Durcant > Westbrick > Soften

Damn 538 just made Russ' mvp.

>345-213 Russ

Factor in the fact that theirs only 1000 points total this year and that Eric Horne/Anthony Slater/Fan vote hasn't even been accounted for and is their even a way Harden can win? 56% of the votes are in already assuming they only have 100 this year.

Damian "Dame D.O.L.L.A." Lillard tha realest nigga in the league. He gonna scorch the fuck outta that light skinned bitch Stephanie. He gonna break the 3-point record in a 4-game series sweep against GSW.

Kevin Durant – told Daily Thunder’s Royce Young that, no, he’s not going to take that shot if his shooting percentages on the night aren’t up to his drool-worthy snuff.

“It depends on what I’m shooting from the field. First quarter if I’m 4-for-4, I let it go. Third quarter if I’m like 10-for-16, or 10-for-17, I might let it go. But if I’m like 8-for-19, I’m going to go ahead and dribble one more second and let that buzzer go off and then throw it up there. So it depends on how the game’s going.”

When Durant says “it depends on how the game’s going,” he truly and technically is referring to his individual game on that night. To some this reeks of stat-padding, and needlessly obsessive stat-padding: NBA fans typically don’t freak out over shooting percentages on shots that players tend to take possibly once or twice a week; especially for someone like Durant who averages 19 shots per game on his career.
