Does anyone actually think that the Warriors can assemble a more competitive team than what they had when Durant and Harden were there?

Paul George is a downgrade from KD, they'd be lucky to make it to the WCF's.

Rockets fans should be glad they're not getting Melo anymore. He's not right for that team at all and would only hurt it more added with Chris Paul already there to fuck shit up. Unless the Rockets are trying to build a team straight out of 2013-14 it doesn't make sense to add Melo.

Why the fuck are they wasting their primes on shitty teams wtf

>>77080485
Boogie was after money but after getting traded that's over so he's most likely leaving to be on a real team. AD will leave after that or ask for a trade.

AD seriously thought the Pelicans would build around him but ended up trading their draft picks for veterans and depended on the free agency method of building when they're a small market team and NOLA is nothing more than a tourist destination, not a place you want to live at all. Even some of their players got killed, the crime is so bad there.

Lakers have to work to get George. Lakers are going to have to look like more of a contender than OKC next May. I'm not saying it's impossible. Lebron can change any team, but I think George will chase rings before he chases childhood dreams.

BEN SIMMONS CAN FUCKING SHOOT NOW

Lebron finals triple doubles: 9
Durant finals triple doubles: 0
9 > 0
Lebron > Durant
Durant is 7ft but has to play SF because his skelly bones would get snapped in the paint. But then again snakes don't have bones LMAO

It just occurred to me ring hunting is probably what Paul George is more focused on ring hunting than he is playing for the lakers. Jesus Christ, I was starting to learn to enjoy the Lakers but now I have to root for their downfall. I guess domestic terrorism is always an option if I want George to stay in OKC.

>>77082452
Jaylen Brown is a punk, guess LeBron needs to teach his ass a lesson again, fucking hate these fake tough guys. Tatum is a good kid, nothing personal, but while fake tough guys are trash, willingly associating with them makes you lower than trash

>>77082531
>How much better would Cousins be if he got in shape?
He doesn't strike me as that much out of shape, so probably not that much better.

> And why is their a large group of basketball writers who love him despite him being cancerous and only playing on horrible teams?
Because he's statistically ridiculous for a center and he's only ever been on horrible teams so they all assume that if he were in a better environment that had more of a winning culture (like he did in college) then he'd be much better.

It also stems from the fact that he's only an attitude and cancer on the court, and a pretty decent person off of it.

Are there any NBA teams that almost have no fans?

I look for to be fan of an team of the NBA, but I want a team that is totally loser, without future and that always is bad

who cares what time you wake up. I woke up a 2:00pm today but only because I went to sleep a 6:00am, that's the same hours as everyone else just different times.

KD might go to sleep at 2 and wake up at 8:30. It doesn't matter, he's still the first on the court.

Keep in mind NBA games last till 10:30, and there's still post-game interviews, showers, and media interviews. They probably don't get home till past midnight. If he has to eat and jerk off when he gets home he's not getting much sleep.

Rule changes:
Each team will have seven timeouts per game, with no restrictions per half.
All team timeouts will be 75 seconds. In the previous format, "full" timeouts were 90 seconds and "20-second" timeouts were 60 seconds. Both "full" and "20-second" timeouts have been replaced by team timeouts.
All four periods will have two mandatory timeouts, which will take place after the first stoppage under the 7:00 minute and 3:00 minute marks.
The under 9:00 minute mandatory timeouts in the second and fourth periods will be eliminated.
Each team can enter the fourth period with up to four team timeouts.
Each team will be limited to two team timeouts after the later of (i) the three-minute mark of the fourth period or (ii) the resumption of play after the second mandatory timeout of the fourth period.
Each team will have two team timeouts per overtime period; previously teams had three

This is only really helpful to laugh at the shitty franchises who have a low attendance. Once you get to about halfway up the list you have to factor in ticket prices vs average income in the area, venue size, and strategy. Selling out every game doesn't mean much if you have low ticket prices for example.

>>77084605
ok dear

Ben Simmons will make the All-Star game.

Rockets only make sense if Chris Paul is running the show and Harden is a pure off guard when they play at the same time. That's lower turnovers, more intelligent passing and running plays, and better communication plus defense. Harden is a failure of a point guard, one dimensional only doing drive and kick plus lobs. Melo would need to be banned from dribbling the ball and purely catch and shoot. But he's obviously worse than Anderson and having Ariza play PF full time while Melo is SF would only hurt Ariza's effectiveness and tire him. No Dekker to lessen the blow, still an awful defensive team and not as reliable offensively if they stick to the spam nothing but threes and open layups/dunks strategy. Rockets have to abandon that if they want to win more than regular season games.

What was this?

I think Kobe should train lonzo. There's nothing else he can learn from magic. He's got the passing down. He needs to learn how to score.

>>77084660

lol no you couldn't. The NBA east is still filled with ridiculous star athletes who would be the best players on any court they walk into outside of the NBA.

>>77084833

I'm sure lonzo knows how to score, his real problem is aggressiveness. He needs to be more aggressive when he has the ball: attack your man, threaten to eat BBIQ chicken at the rim, that sort of thing.

It's not that he can't score, it's lack of willingness and a desire to pass to team mates to a fault. That's not something you can teach, it's something lonzo will have to reach deep inside himself to achieve.

He's everything people complained lebron was, except without any of his athleticism.

he will play better than KD played in OKC. You can't just compare individual talents, PG is a much better team mate than KD

Remember kevin durant had chemistry problems, would throw passive aggressive tantrums and lose games on purpose, and just generally didn't fit in. He had the skill to score but instead would just stand in the corner and pout. He held westbrook back just as much as KD was held back by westbrook.

Paul george hopefully won't have the mental retardation issues kevin durant had that constantly held the team back when they were on the verge of winning

because they're the Spurs. Nevermind that they were blowing out the Warriors before their best player got hurt. Or that they beat Lebron's last superteam in the Finals when their two best players were a young Kawhi Leonard having a 12ppg season and a 38 year old Tim Duncan.

>>77086388

>>77086447
>a regular season game that Pop doesn't give a shit about

Didn't say the Spurs were better than the Warriors, said they're better than the Cavs, which is easily true. The Spurs could at least hang with the Warriors if healthy, even though they'd likely lose. Cavs would've gotten swept if Silver hadn't blatantly saved them in game 4 for the $$

>>77086430
>average 56.2 wins per season the last 9 season
>only 1 title

>>77086478
Spurs are regular season try hards, same as the warriors.

>>77086381
They have a guy who can slow down Lebron (Kawhi) a guy who can slow down Kyrie (Green), have a better bench and are better coached.

Heat summer league team has a guy that looks about 5'4

>>77086481
because wins per season = the finals. They've played in the hardest conference in NBA history (post 2000's West). But once they make the finals they almost always win.

You're literally arguing the most successful championship team this century is a "regular season team". Think how stupid you sound.

Most popular bets to win ROTY

>>77086491

no, they really aren't, and giving your flag I'm guessing you didn't start watching basketball until Bogut and the Warriors won in 15 like most Aussies.

If you've watched Pop and the Spurs for the past decades you realize he doesn't give half a shit about the regular season. He rests stars against major contenders (remember Stern's buttmad fine when he did it against the Heat?). He plays 3 PG lineups and tries out D-League players against division rivals even in seasons they aren't #1 in the division. He STARTED the resting your best players trend because he doesn't give a fuck about the regular season.

>>77086522
I'm just saying that they have been achieving huge success in the last 10 years but have only won once (and made it to the finals twice in said time). Therefore they are great in regular season but not so great in postseason. Therefore they are regular season babbies because they can't translate all those regular season wins into rings.

>>77086582
If Fultz is scoring the ball then Simmons won't win ROTY even if tallies a 9-7-7 statline.

It's going to be Dennis Smith if he puts up the same numbers he does now at SL. Fox can win it if Hill takes a backseat.

Yeah, it's almost like it's hard to win championships in sports. Even more so when your best player was in his 30's that span, and the biggest free agent they went in on before Aldridge was Richard Jefferson.

Again, which franchise isn't a "regular season babby" by your definition then? The Warriors have had the most NBA talent (and injury luck) by a mile the last 3 years and still managed to lose.

NBA board of governors accepts rule decreasing timeouts from 18 to 14 in effort to speed up game

The NBA board of governors approved a rule to decrease the number of timeouts per game from 18 to 14. It also passed a rule that would limit timeouts in the final two minutes of the game to two per team, down from three per team.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that the league has made some changes over the last couple of years to improve the overall length of games, but the latest change is aimed at the "pace and flow of the game."

Okay so a common misconception I hear and have felt the need to address is that Kawhi won the 2014 FMVP because he guarded LeBron. That's just simply not true, so stop trying to lump him in with Iggy when talking about undeserved FMVPs. Kawhi was literally the best player on the Spurs during the 2014 Finals, the award literally couldn't go to anyone else.
