Haven't gambled in two years my friends.

Schroeder is the worst starting PG I've seen in a long time.

He's like a 1 or 2 read option run first QB.
Once a defense takes away the first and second option of a play he just runs to the basket all the time.

Then when a defense denies him he just makes dumb throws away from the play and ends up with a TO, over and over again.
Doesn't care he's playing against John Wall and their transition offense, he just keeps doing it and allowing fastbreak points.

The Hawks have intentionally dumbed down their offensive system just for him and it's ruined their team.

>>75285675
I unironically think if you put Westbrook on the Hawks they'd be a 50-60 win team.

They're good on paper but their execution has taken a nose dive since they lost to the Cavs in the ECF.

James Harden is the most underrated and under-appreciated MVP candidate in NBA history. Prove me wrong.

>Rockets expected to not even make playoffs this year
>Runner up MVP in 2 years where he should have been the winner (most likely will lose this year)
>wasn't on 1st, 2nd, or 3rd All-NBA team last year.
>this year was the first year he was actually voted an All-Star starter
>no one has respected his game until very recently. dismissed as a flopper, free throw shooter and no defense player when he has real skill on par with any superstar in the NBA.
>everyone hates his team for no apparent reason. Rockets seen as the bad guys of the NBA

It makes sense the Warriors are losing. It takes time and team chemistry to build a champion. Even King James needed a second season with the Heat to get his ring. The Warriors will this L and get a taste of humble pie coming into the offseason. If KD sticks around they might be able to have another go at it next season.

Holy shit, how did you know?

My theory is Lebron/Durant/Harden/Westbrook/whoever were "supposed" to dominate the league and all the Nike and other big advertising money was behind that narrative, then Steph (through hard work and dedication, no less), became too good and started fucking up that narrative. The powers that be can't stop him entirely, but they can slow him down. It's a massive steaming pile of shit and makes it hard for me to watch the NBA. The Warriors should be going for a three-peat right now.

Damn the Warriors defense is freakin' incredible.

Well, I was here last year and I truly believe that series was rigged. And it was a rig in the making since the begging of the season, that's why the warriors came back down 1-3 and they eventually lost up 3-1

>>75288344
>refball

Any team in the league would foul out half their team playing the same way the Warriors play.

It's insane bias.

>>75288678
all I did was use you're retarded logic

>>75288724
Well it's more in the context that Durant is already a freakish height so it's easier as a commentator to just say he's a 7 footer making a really athletic move.

It's be like if Isaiah Thomas dunked on someone, a commentator would probably say that's a 6 footer making that play.

>>75288772
Nah, you don't round up inches when it comes to height.

why did Portland lose

>>75288724

Durant is a good 6'11. 7 ft isn't that far off

I'm sorry but taking a logo and combining it with another established thing doesn't take creativity. You're just putting two things together so that people who recognize them can go "oh look I know that thing"

if you want to be creative why not draw a logo that doesn't rely on pre-established characters? like invent characters from your own mind? or better yet why not just invent a sport that's better than basketball and have your own league? because you're autistic you dumb fuck

His clutchness goes into his "best narrative" candidacy, obviously numbers matter, then again those numbers are apart of his story aswell, not a knock on him btw, he's arguably more important than Harden, in my mind its not even close

Portland sucks
Wizards suck
Celtics suck
Raptors suck
Cockshits suck

The only relevant teams are the Spurs, Warriors and Cavs. Fans of other teams kill yourselves.

>>75290024
>People love things enough to create something around it
>quality content created inspired by the NBA
>that's bad because I say it is
>"be original"

Well I'm glad the world isn't as boring as you are. Even famous composers and artists have based their work off of a reference more than once.

I'll tell you something my professor told me:
If everyone all called for originality all the time, then mankind would inevitably lose the ability to create. Created works would cease to exist because there would be a lack of inspiration. These words are not an excuse to steal, but a lesson to borrow from what you see around you, so that it becomes an interpretation. From there, learn to create your own world. A world without inspiration is a world without originality.

It would be like you wanting to be original and choosing not to walk, crawl, or speak because it's too mainstream. Eventually you lose what makes you human, and you end up becoming an inanimate object.

But I guess things like this doesn't inspire you, you seek the black and white squares.
Open your mind, kid.

I'm one of the most conservative "liberals" you'll ever meet.

Of course I still think Trump's administration is a failed one. But there are a ton of republicans who have perspectives that I actually appreciate. Meanwhile, you seem like some person living under a rock.

Now, shut up and watch basketball. I'm watching how Isaiah Thomas undergoes the burden of dealing with grief, as not all athletes can deal with these kinds of things on the court.

MJ had to quit basketball after his dad died, Draymond Green had to leave when his dad died. Nick Young hits game winners and shit. I wanna see how IT performs.

Lmao I just saw draymond missed dunk, if he made that shit it would have been one of the most legendary dunks of all time, dude was legit the best player on the court despite scoring less than 20 pts

Serious (and probably dumb as fuck) question - is "president of basketball operations" even a real position? The only two I can name are Phil and Magic which makes me think it could very well be a meme position thought up to fill with a big name.
Just always found it weird that Phil is (and Magic will be) getting all the flak that is usually reserved for GMs

I lost faith in Paul George. He has the iq of a bag of rocks. He was never meant to be a leader. He's a Scottie Pippen at best. He can go to the lakers and make them a perpetual 45 win team.

Milwaukee have been abusing the Raptors. That seems to be the only series that will end in 5 games or less.

Put Giannis and Paul George on the Clippers. Now you have a new contender.

>>75290832
>being this reactionary

Bucks clearly played above their weight and will fall back down to earth.
Raptors played retarded and their guys were missing open shots.

This happened last year with the Raptors and will continue to happen as they go 7 games in all their series until they face a good team.

What do you think of this /nba/?

spurs memphis?
or do you think memphis can bring it harder in round two?

i think raptors will be able to bounce back.

>>75290948
I wish Memphis didn't always come into the playoffs with injured players. Their series would be so interesting if it wasn't for them somehow getting injuries to key players.

Am I wrong anywhere? Nah...

>>75291478
so whoever won game one and a retarded pick from a series not started yet?

>>75291566
ain't sayin you wrong at all

Rudy Gay and Blake Griffin to OKC

>>75290588
and he's already failed so much
its honestly way worse than i could have possibly imagined

>this kneejerk reaction to game 1s

My rapties will still sweep in 6. Bucks got lucky draining every 3 pointer and the entire rapties team was shooting like shit and missing dunks.

no, the best teams win each round.

Gay is dead and Blake is fucking awful.

Will the Clips ever win the Finals? Like, ever? They are in a big market, so wtf is wrong with them? Do they have the same owners they did in the 60s and 70s (worst owners and front office in sports history)?

>>75291867
I've been thinking about it and I came to the conclusion the Clippers need a small forward. Chris Paul can't shoot good enough, Blake can't shoot, Deandre can't shoot either. You need an alpha male like Rudy Gay.

Portland would beat both of these teams

Based Giannis would eat up a good 3rd of the playoff teams in the West coast. Especially Portland and the Teddy Bears. He'd beat the Thundercucks. The poopty poop Clippers wouldn't even be a challenge. Probably run a train on Utah to

>>75292285
right, no way Harden gets considered

>>75292285
The MVP has only been a non top 3 seed team once and it was Moses Malone.

Westbrook's season and MVP is unprecedented.

You have no common sense.

>Westbrook is preparing for his 83rd career playoff game
Westbrook is no longer a playoff rookie

>>75292401
Westbrook is the first 30-10 guy since Malone isn't he? Or am I thinking of Karl Malone...?

>>75292524
Karl Malone.

terrible throw on that jump ball, it was clearly a foot backwards towards Bradley

>>75292401
his stats are barely better than hardens. westbrook cucks are just sad

Is draymond green a top 5 player in the league? He's the best player on his team and only guys I can think of are lebron and kawhi that have more impact on any given game

>>75292720
Better than LeBron

>>75292720
i think so, if you could ban a player from GSW when you play a series vs them, i think banning draymond would have a bigger impact than any of the others

what's up wiz family?

Avery Bradley is seriously a top 5 defender in the league.

>>75292837
So good he let Devin Booker drop 70

I hate bawston as much as the next guy but all those people talking shit about Thomas' sister are pretty pathetic.

I'm glad /nba/ isn't classless like those yuro trash casuals shitting up the gamethreads. /nba/ is a safe space.

>>75292873
hold this L

>>75292837
He's basically the draymond of the celtics, he does that run the offense from the point thing, he can hit 3's as a big guy and if IT wasn't such a liability on defense more people would realize how good he is on that end

>>75292873
He let Sabonis get 20 and Westbrook go to 4th quarter aimbot mode.

>>75292878
nah, Celtics fans are human garbage. They would be doing the same thing to a greater degree if it happened to a Bulls player.

Bobby Portis is legit as fuck.

Bulls are seriously embarrassing this shit out of the Celtcucks.

>>75293010
Boston Lagers are a regular season team. Thomas Sawyer doesn't play defense. 2nd option Marcus Dumb, Avery Thornberry is a fraud, coach Brad Steven more like Steven Spielberg

Well, like I said earlier, win or lose I'm proud of my celties

Celtics are the most poorly constructed 1 seed in recent history, they have too many minus players like Smart in their rotation.
