FLAT EARTH EDITION
Kyrie scores 44 and proves the true shape of the Earth in game 4 victory. Cavs now up 3-1, game 5 is on Thursday in Boston, 8:30 EST.
Do the Cavs blow a 3-1 lead?
3-1 is the most dangerous basketball lead
first for fuck shaq
Why the fuck is Shaq so goddamn sensitive on Inside the NBA

>>76093646
ernie visibly got mad and dropped an f-bomb
>>76093665
shit did he really. I am fucking blazed desu it just looked like innocent banter to me. I'm sorry i mislead anons
I always knew Lebron would pull it off. He's the best basketball player in the world. Take that for data.
>>76093618
>>76093619
>both posts made at the same time, down to the second
it's over for the cavs
after what has transpired on inside the nba, i dont know if i can continue watching the nba... it was severally unprofessional and gave the league a bad look... silver needs to give a stern talking to shaq and mr barkley... such hate shouldnt be visible on a world stage that the nba represents. not a good look in my book.
>>76093628
>Why the fuck is Shaq so goddamn sensitive
kek based kyrie
>>76093646
if those were jokes they weren't funny
seriously ernie and kenny were uncomfortable and i was uncomfortable
>if the Celtics just traded for George at the deadline, they'd be tied in this series, maybe even 3-1 if game 1 had better scoring from them outside of IT
They're making these games competitive and they're doing it without IT. Imagine if George were there right now, shit.
What are really the odds of Shaq and Chuck throwing down on live TV?
shaq just ruined the show again, shit was awkward as fuck.
fire his ass and bring baron davis/webber/dominique in, he always tries to make this shit about him
>>76093682
that may be the case but audiences aren't aware they've that relationship and they ought to understand that given that they're professional commentators and aren't autistic
>Inside the NBA is ending soon
>>76093725
it already happened
Which is the best place in the United States, for someone who hates baskettball and the NBA, who only likes socce and MLS (major league soccer)?
watch the postgame for kyrie on the podium, he's like a different person/ he has this kobe look in his eyes and word selection wtf
>>76093716
Larry's price was insanely high for George. Should have tried to get Butler, he was cheap as fuck.

George's attitude and performance this playoffs was not impressive. You might be better off with the assets you get for him.

Better a place where they have only been champions of the MLS Cup
AL HORFORD HAS 5 REBOUNDS IN THE LAST 2 (TWO) GAMES HAHAHA
FUCKING LMAO
>>76093770
I won't be comfortable losing George for anything unless Hayward comes here in FA. Proven superstars are hard to come by, even if you stockpile assets. The Celtics are proof enough of that, no?
>>76093797
soft ass
>>76093797
He doesn't rebound. He never has and never will.
He had a good game tonight. He was literally the only player worth a damn in the second half.
Whos walk you through the dark side of the morning
It ain't me /nba/
>>76093796
When are you moving bro? I'm planning to move to a place with a popular MLS (major league soccer) team too.
>>76093716
They had to give up Jaylen Brown, Jae Crowder, the pick that turned out to be #1, and Smart or Bradley. Seems a little too steep.
Even if by some miracle they got passed the Cavs, they'd get swept by the Warriors.
globecucks BTFO
>LeBron wearing a t-shirt of a flattened-out Earth globe
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>76093809
I would really like it.
A place in the USA, where soccer is popular and where Major League Soccer (MLS) is the dominant and most popular professional league.
And where his MLS team is the only good team, winner and with more followers and fans
Celtics roundies btfo
Thank you based step son of Kobe
>>76093816
>They had to give up Jaylen Brown, Jae Crowder, the pick that turned out to be #1, and Smart or Bradley. Seems a little too steep.
>A bunch of shitty role players (except Brown, who has a LOT of upside)
>for exchange of a legit, playoff-performing superstar
I'll never understand this retarded take.
Jae Crowder is not that good.
Marcus Smart is bad.
Avery Bradley is legitimately great defensively, but completely unreliable offensively.
Brown is a rookie.
And you could have flipped the 2018 pick and not the 2017 one. Don't give me that nonsense.
The NBA doesn't work like other leagues.
One big star >>>>>>> a bunch of ok role players/.
>>76093837
Ya i know man but I asked when are you moving to such a place?
>>76093823
pics?
My celtics disappointed me tonight but clearly we can win the next three games against the Cavs, Jaylen has LeBron on his toes and its just a matter of time before Kyrie disappears. Horford will feast next game, mark my words. This is why we signed him
>>76093849
I already moved, but I'm still in Costa Rica.
And also just move me from neighborhood
>>76093839
Getting PG doesn't solve the problem of having literally zero bigs that can rebound. Cousins was much cheaper than George, and would have solved so many of Boston's problems.
HE CAME FROM A QUEEN
Why is no one asking Lebron about his flat earth shirt?
>>76093871
Celtics fans are truly mentally ill
>>76093881
WE WUZ
>>76093839
No, they didn't want the 2018 pick. That was the asking price.
Timing of trades is important. Now the asking price of Paul George will be even lower.
>>76093878
Oh don't get me wrong, I completely agree Boogie would have been the better option (although a small part of me wonders about the lockerroom cancer thing, but talent usually trumps that in the NBA).
But at the same time, gaining Paul George does solve a lot of the talent problems you have and wouldn't hamstring you.
>>76093901
shieet bro time for a proposal ;____;
>>76093905
>No, they didn't want the 2018 pick. That was the asking price.
Thanks for letting me know Danny.
>>76093891
who honestly cares what happens, the warriors are going to sweep either team that makes it out of the east
its just bonus points if it happens to the cavs because that will basically break up lebrons team since he can never accept a loss in the finals without destroying his team, even though its lebabby that always vanishes at the most important times, just look at what JR said about him the other day lmao
>>76093920
You're welcome
>>76093920
If Hinkie posts here its not a stretch to think Ainge or someone from his staff lurks here
if zaza blows up lebrons ankles, will the cavs get sweeped?
G-Gordon Hayward is gonna come to the Pacers, right /nba/? It's his boyhood team and there's going to be a void with PG leaving town...
So what does he...do, exactly?

>celtics give up 90 points in each game
what
they gave up over 100 points in each of them
After game 3, we can all pretty much agree he's no longer in the GOAT conversation, right?
I mean, Jordan wouldn't have had a game like that.
I don't care if he averages 50 points and sweeps the warriors, the GOAT door is pretty much shut at this point.
>>76094298
the cavs got like 20 points in garbage time
>>76094302
depends how many finals he gets.
if he ever gets 6 rings he might be GOAT, because then he got to more finals than jordan.
The conversation will eventually change from "jordan never lost in the finals" to "lebron got to 13 finals while jordan lost before he could get there"
>>76094313
that wasn't garbage time retard

If the cavs didn't score the rest of those points the Celtics would have you fucking idiot.
>>76094404
>to be honest, they won at that point the final minutes literally didnt count they should have just stopped scoring at that point the celtics couldnt possibly make up the difference
>>76094404
cavs opened the game going up 5-0
and they were down 11-5 in the blink of an eye
you are retarded
>>76094419
no because they could have just played defense and held them off had their shots not fallen
i thought Chuck's show was a left-leaning cuckfest but right now it's dropping red pills all over America
>>76094436
>just play defense lol teams can't score if you just play defense!!!
>>76094433
the beginning of the game is completely different. At the end of the game you can afford to use more/less energy on defense depending on how much you're winning by, but at the beginning you have to pace yourself since you know it's still a long game.
>>76094436
Do you understand how the game works?
>>76094478
yes, do you?
half the fucking sport is pacing yourself and knowing when to go 100%. That's why it's called a game of runs.
>>76094500
>stop scoring the ball, just play defense by going all out

Youre a fucing retard

>>76094350

Jordan wasn't perfect
>>76094568
But he won that game and Finals MVP immediately afterwards. And he didn't have 6 TOs unlike LeBum,
What happens to Lebrons legacy if he gets swept by the warriors?
>>76094640
nothing. nobody is expecting him to win in the first place.
wait, so people think the cavs couldn't have just locked them down for 6 minutes had their shots not fallen?
ahahahahhahahahahaah
So hes gonna be the next cavs player right? they are gonna get him for dirt cheap

kyrie goes for 40 something and love has seventeen boards, coming back from a 16 point deficit and winning by 13 or whatever. it's simply training for the final boss battle at this point.
They can't keep all 3 (DJ, CP3, BG) also Reddick

The fact both those teams made the playoffs is a miracle, more so the Bulls because their GMs were actively sabotaging the team and the locker room was toxic.

Yes. Being carried by Kyrie against a depleted Celtics who you previously lost the #1 seed to, during the regular season and blew a 23 point lead to, at home, in the playoffs has forever tainted what little of a legacy that LePopcorn ever had.
If anything it reconfirmed that this could easily be Kyrie's team if he consistently made a real effort.
>>76094519
the cavs were up by 40+ points in the third quarter in game 2
we're talking about a 10 point lead with over 5 minutes left to play

>>76095101
i see this.
LeBron didn't want his team to get complacent going up against easy teams and then facing off against the Warriors. He wanted them to feel the pain of a loss and to remind them of all they had accomplished and endured to get to this point.
>>76095256
He's dumb irl
>>76095196
Cleveland would have had a 7 game stretch with OKC too even with a 7 game series with the Warriors.
First GS title should have been against the Hawks anyway. Too bad they thought they could simply walk through LeBron playoff.
>>76095267
Most people are, but atleast he is nice, is good at basketball, and speaks in a educated way at the very least.
>>76095256
>>76095256
>Is it possible to hate Kyrie? He seems so perfect
Other than his lack of defense, I hate his lack of ambition and consistency. He's either all in or playing like a lazy sack of shit. However, he seems to have resigned himself to only making after effort when it's time to be clutch, especially when Bron or Love is shitting the bed.

>Other than his lack of defense, I hate his lack of ambition and consistency. He's either all in or playing like a lazy sack of shit. However, he seems to have resigned himself to only making after effort when it's time to be clutch, especially when Bron or Love is shitting the bed.
Kyrie can afford to be that way, because he's still relatively young, compared to his contemporaries in the league. Since he's already gotten a 'chip and is only his way to possibly winning another, there's no need for him to really improve his basketball IQ. Depending on how long Lebron keeps the gang together, we're either going to see Kyrie get even better, once Lebron gets his rings and leaves to do whatever the fuck he wants, or rapidly decline, once his father time comes knocking.
That said, Kyrie pegs me as the type of guy who will legit retire early once he's really forced to put in real time to improve his game. Just like before 'Bron came back, I don't see Kyrie carrying Cleveland as a team, once Lebron is done. Not unless something life-changing happens and realizes the vast amount of talent he's wasting.
>>76095351
Kyrie is getting better. LeBron sensei is teaching him along the way.

This, Chuck was obviously joking, but Shaq got lowkey heated
why does the warriors organization feel they were entitled to winning the chip last year and they were robbed because green got suspended? even after that they had two games.

By your logic the Cavs "should've" won game 3 because they were up by 20+ when they blew it and smart exploded.
Not to mention kyrie exploding for 20 points in a quarter is much more likely to happen on any given night than smart exploding and playing as well as he did in game 3.
>>76099756
yes
>>76099765
LeBron always needs help to win or else he's just a useless loser.
LeBron is Tenten and Kyrie/Love are Lee and Neji

>I don't know anything about the game of basketball

>>76099876
Every player in the game needs help. Even if a player can somehow carry a team to the finals by himself (which Lebron did), carrying a team to victory in the finals with no help (which he almost did) is asking way too much.
>>76099919
yo shutup

>>76099765
>Wade Kyrie are top players
Don't even joke like that. Wade and Kyrie are ONLY good with LeBron James, not the other way around. Both Wade and Kyrie were taught masterfully by LeBron during their careers. Look at Wade without LeBron on the Bulls, he's fucking awful. Same goes for Kyrie before LeBron joined the Cavs.
Also, Kyrie is consistently benched int the fourth quarter now. LeBron saved the Cavs ass last night. Kyrie couldn't even take the lead against the broke ass Celshits alone, lmao. Had to have 4-foul LeBron come in and take control of the court like he always does. Based LeBron.

Would rather have a legacy than potentially just be some dude on the bench on a ten day contract.
Can someone explain the carry Lebron had last night? I saw it in real time and highlights after, but I couldn't understand where everyone was coming from. Maybe I don't understand the rules of a carry, but it didn't look like his hands came underneath during the actual dribble. Unless him holding the ball in post before he did the post move was the carry.
>>76103445
Rose would be the 3rd best PG on the Twolves lmao
>>76103445

Obsessed with Rudy Gay? I mean BRUH
>>76105775
he doesn't parade his children in front of the camera like dancing monkeys as other players do
>>76105787
They play almost exactly the same. They both focus on the elbow high post, fadeaways and mid range isolation shots off the dribble. You could make the argument that Gay wasn't as skilled when he was Tatum's age and that would be true but right now Tatum is very Gay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-p0T2WhXM8
I'm sorry but this guy is nothing like Gay. This guy is T-Mac and Kobe that can play PF.
>>76105869
btw forgot to add Rudy is 6'8 with a 7'3 wingspan. baka nobody knows a damn thing about rudy.
>>76105069
But the Spurs only run iso and p&r
>>76105775
the basketball world will regret it once he is gone, theres no big name superstars in the league right now other than steph and hes never going to be lebron, and i dont see anyone else taking up the mantle after hes gone. basketball is gonna turn to shit in about 5 years
>>76105895
Why would you compare a once in a generation athlete to Jayson Tatum. You're just setting yourself up for disapointment.
>>76105895
He's closer to being like KD than he is Rudy Gay.
That dirk step and iso game with the catch and shoot ability is pure KD when he was his age. But not a skinny fuck.
>>76105922
Because that's what Tatum is. He's the most skilled wing to come out the draft since KD.
Some think he should be the #1 pick, but because of how important PGs have been in the NBA recently he's being overlooked.
>>76105895
Jayson Taytum is Otto Porter 2.0
>>76105947
I understand he has some skill but you have to understand the athletic ability of TMAC was out of this world. There may never be another player that big and that athletic.
Jayson Tatum is Manu Ginobili 2.5
If Tatum was in the 2014 draft he'd get picked #1 over Wiggins.
That's how good he is. Prototypical modern PF that's skilled like an old school SG and can play SF.
nah guys jayson tatum is TMac with some Dirk divided by KD and multipled with Ingram's BBIQ
>>76105986
>Prototypical modern PF
So a small forward in other words
>>76105895
Hot damn he can play point too and in the R&R????
This dude is a bonafide star. I fully expect him to win ROTY while Fultz can't get time behind IT. Ball is a guaranteed bust, can't even play P&R.
Kevin Love is really fucking good btw
>>76106039
I expect the Sixers to have interest. They need a legitimate offensive presence who can shoot and play multiple positions. Even if he was just a stretch 4, that alone would help. If he could play the 2 as well? God damn.
>>76102087
This needs to be the image for the OP of the next thread.

Black men will solve the White man's burden as usual. Since white men are feminized pathetic shits Black men will breed them out of existence and gladly take their women.

>"There's been a lot of rumblings about Chris Paul, and I think that's real," Lowe said in a conversation with Kevin Arnovitz. "I think there's mutual interest there. I don't know how real it is given the Clippers can offer a gigantic amount of money and are also a really good team; and the Spurs, like I said, have no sort of cap flexibility to get there. I'm very curious about what they do this summer and who's on the team next year."

3. Los Angeles Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers president Magic Johnson has said his focus is on next summer's free agency. Paul George is scheduled to hit the open market at that time (player option), but that's probably just a coincidence.
It's possible Olynyk devolves into collateral damage of the Celtics' own superstar pursuits. If they renounce his rights and he becomes an unrestricted free agent, it won't cost as much to sign him. And while the Lakers have enough bigs with Tarik Black (non-guaranteed), Timofey Mozgov, Larry Nance Jr., Julius Randle and Ivica Zubac, not one has three-point range.
Olynyk comes in and adds a new dynamic to the offense—a necessary one if head coach Luke Walton isn't yet ready to use Brandon Ingram at the 4.
The price has to be right, particularly with Mozgov on the books, but the Lakers have a demand for what Olynyk supplies. And in this big-man market, that's enough to catch the 26-year-old's eye.
