GSW over/under win total
>66.5

seriously? I'm as big of a warrior hater as there is out there, but I don't see how you can add KD and be expected to win 7 fewer games. Even with no bench, some injuries, and some bad luck, I would think they could be close to 70.

Maybe it's because I'm surrounded by warrior fans, but it seems like that's the general sentiment about them - probably ~70 wins. What does Vegas know that we don't? I can't imagine them putting it that low unless they were confident they were going to make money on it.

Literally autistic

Who?

He is autistic.

The Mavericks are a good team to play in 2k17. You have loads of shooters and a rim protector and you have dirk to shoot fadeaways and jumpers and you only have to face mediocre teams like the Bulls.

Is 2k17 worth it? 60.bucks is a lot

It's alright but you don't get much vc for playing games anymore so if you wanna play modes like My Player or My Team you need to grind like crazy. I've kinda lost interest in that now because of the grinding so all I do is play online games.

Hello /nba/. I haven't posted in a while. You good?

Because 73 was ridiculous, they were fortunate to get it, there may be some initial chemistry issues, and it really doesn't take much to drop a few games (e.g. injuries)

Gameplay is amazing, grind is atrocious

It's pretty fun, It's kind of annoying though because 2k16 was perfect gameplay wise except for a few things, then they fixed those few things and fucked up alot of other things.

Also Curry injures his ankle like 6 times a season every season on default settings.

I don't mind paying 60 a year for 2k games (havent bought it yet fwiw) but I feel ripped off when the story mode is shit, or myplayer feels cripped so I have to pay rl money to advance my guy

If EA Sports could get their shit together, they could take their spot back from 2K

Fuck 2k17 gonna drop $100 dollars on Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate edition today

2K needs to add a 3 and D archetype or at least boost the open shot 3s stat cap for Lockdown Defender.

$70 is pocket change and I spend an entire year playing the game so I'm getting far more than my money's worth

Khris Middleton tore a hamstring. Hell be out for three to six months for surgery. How does this affect the bucks? What will be the starting lineup? Discuss.
Maybe Delly/MCW/Giannis/Parker/Monroe?

>mfw even dribble moves cost VC now
>mfw everything else costs at least double the VC as the previous game

They even locked everything online so you can't just use Cheat engine or a trainer or something.

Such Bullshit.

I lost my connection once while playing mycareer and it exited me in the middle of the fucking game

i've never seen 2k played before so i watched a stream the other day.

it was literally just fucking retards paying for microtransactions to get collectible cards, there is no gameplay since you dont have any actual control it's all just getting better cards by paying real money for better stats so the game plays itself on the actual court.

what is the appeal of this shit? people are spending hundreds of dollars and it's not even a real card game plus the $60 pricetag

That's annoying, but it's literally like 10 percent of these games.

It all started with EA's bullshit Madden Ultimate Team. I remember when that shit came out in Madden 10, I played it for like 5 seconds and thought it was stupid.

Suddenly 6 or 7 years later, it's a massive success and it's bar none the most popular game mode. I dunno how it happened, but all the other sports games had to cash in on that shit, so basically every other sports game has a different version of ultimate team, it sucks.

nah mate, I just don't like wasting money. nba 2k17 is a want, not a need, so it better be worth the cash

>$70 is pocket change

delly is now the based Lebron stopper

So Meyers Leonard will finally become the COTF we have been waiting for this season. That's crazy

I don't understand blowing all that money on myteam cards when the game has a 1 year lifespan

this is really sad

ill be back for preseason

>Kobe is a 2k17 cover athelete
>only way to get non-afro Kobe into the game is with a trainer.

Why didn't they add the 2010 Lakers?

The good thing about 2k is how much depth the gameplay has. I'm having fun learning new things and getting better at competitive matches. I just created a 6 foot 8 my player with a maxed out wingspan. So I could have 95 block and 95 steal with elite defense in the post and the perimeter. Granted my scoring potential is weak but I did that on purpose because it's too easy to score, I wanna win games with defense.

Westbrook is going to bust KD's head open on Christmas Day and their depth will be exposed.

So apparently Sam is teaching at Stanford next semester and one of the classes is a graphic design class

You can't make this shit up

i got it for 26€ on Kinguin

are you saying there's no actual gameplay on MyTeam? wat
also if the streamer you watched is popular he prolly gets VC gifted to him so he can open packs or will make the money back with the stream

what the fuck

meme magic is real

submitting my portfolio

Well, they started testing for HGH two seasons ago, which coincidentally was the same time when LeBron, Melo and other players slimmed down.

Obviously just an unfortunate coincidence involving many factors but which gave rise to vicious rumours (all unproven and untrue and could very well be liable for slander) about our beloved family of the entire NBA.

I'm glad we cleared that up bros!

Oh and just one more tip /spee/ !! NBA league pass re-subs will be happening soon, so remember to have enough money in your accounts so everything will go smoothly with no interruptions. You guys who don't have NBA League pass should check out the great packages available too! Remember only filthy casual bangwagon "fans" watch illegal and potentially dangerous streams of the NBA, depriving the hardworking players, coaches, attorneys and executives of the NBA family.

I didn't realize what I said until a few days later when she asked me what I meant

how the fuck do you recognize me

Being able to create your own shot in mycareer is awesome, made one that's a 25% ray allen 75% durant, max quickness and base 20.

but fuck how greedy 2k have gotten. They've made dribble moves cost VC now.

I use it on other boards and they send me to reddit/twitter etc. lmao I have yet to use it on memebook even though I want to

They also hilariously upped the price of tattoos by like 1000%

All because idiots keep spending money on it.

>>GSW fans are all underage casual faggots sub sub edition.
Am I a bandwagon if I am a bulls fan but love GS playstyle and watching them?

>tfw lame tat buyer who covers myplayer in tats
Yeah, but at "least" the tats are just cosmetic. Dribble moves are important (especially this year where you have to chain them together instead of the cpu doing it for you - great change). They could've at least let us try before buy. But hey, people will most likely buy a few different ones before they find what works for them. Which means spending more VC which means more profit.

Starting you off in mycareer as a 55overall and having hard caps for your stats (and not just putting the caps on the park and letting your mycareer player be a 99 overall demi god) is so fucking dumb. Park? caps are needed because otherwise we just go back to everyone playing a 7'0 SF demi-god.

And yeah, i'm a hypocrite and a sucker because i bought VC to get my character to 75 or whatever the upgrade cap is before you have to practice for upgrades.

Fucking grinding badges is bad enough and all the unskippable cut scenes, having to wait around for a teammate to ask you if you wanna do 2on2, fuck no i dont, i want to do the vert leap twice, exit, wait for it to load mycourt, wait for myplayer to stroll in, put down his bag, run over to my shoes behind the pool table (you dont have to wait for him to stroll back to his bag then walk out (saves like 10 seconds) only to go to another practice, wait for someone to put up some shots then ask you to do some drill that is long and boring when i just want to do my verts and fuck off.
Every year load times get longer, they add more shit that is cool to see the first time then becomes something else that just delays you from playing.

I dont want to have to watch my team walk off the court, down the corridors then have to get interviewed by Kenny or Shaq (Shaq still calls me freq sometimes too). button mashing the whole time to get through this shit asap.

I swear so far this year ive spent more time holding my controller waiting to actually play the game

I hated this in 2k16 where simulated games would tally the same stats as games you play manually. Is it the same in 17? I don't want to purposefully tank games so that my averages look realistic.

Just play games with less minutes or turn up the difficulty, your stats will go down either way.

I HURT MYSELF TODAY, TO SEE IF I STILL FEEL

I haven't simmed a game yet because simming could screw up certain badges progress in previous years (like simming before you got microwave would reset the progress because you gotta get hot every quarter for 5 straight games or something)

Some badge requirements this yyear is stupid I'm a playmaking PG, so one of my upgradeable badges is Ankle breaker. Been grinding, spamming dribble moves and just found out that to get ankle breaker you have to do 200 "double move leading to score" ASSISTS.

So easiest way is pnr then spa, two dribble moves then pass to your idiotic teammate, spamming the "make teammate shoot" and hoping like hell they actually make the open layup and not do the following
>pass the fucking ball
>decide to do some retarded fadeaway
>stand still for a few seconds after the pass which wont count as an assist
>get fouled
And im pretty sure you cant get OJ activated and make the play switching to Justice to score. It doesn't seem like it counts to your stuff when you switch to justice.

>simming could screw up certain badges progress
Good point. I'm using the shot creator SF arch-type but I'm making an effort to grab boards and drop assists so I'm not to sure what badges I'm able to upgrade at this point

I'm already playing on HoF/Superstar and I don't like playing less minutes since it affects my teammates and opponents averages too. It may sound autistic but I don't want a 91 rated Cousins' statline to read 11ppg/6rpg/1apg.

Funny, It seems everyone's playthrough I've seen so far has someone from the Knicks getting injured. I got Melo though, the first I've seen online. OJ is basically a spot-up shooter on my playthrough.

My player's also a shot creator SF trying to drop dimes and grab boards. My stats don't get too high because I set a ton of screens, I usually boxout and let my centre grab rebounds (or they'll grab it over me, my rebounding stats are horrid), I put team-mates in good positions to get assists, etc and generally play like my player isn't the star of the team. Guess it's easier for me since I got drafted to the Celtics so I can just drop it to any of the other starters and they can do something well. I kind of have to let the team play as 60-ish rated means it takes around 3 seconds to do an inside-out move, baka desu.

>etc and generally play like my player isn't the star of the team
fucking shit nigel, i didnt think you could sink so low that you're a cuck in a fucking video game, you're a cuck to a digital black man...kys nigel.

Well my current statline is 21/11/9 with a block and a steal per game. I feel like this is waaaay too much for a rookie and it doesn't help when Gay and Cousins keep getting injured and I basically do all the work with OJ.

>generally play like my player isn't the star of the team
Why would you do that? The whole point of Mycareer is to be the next GOAT. A triple double rookie season sounds GOAT but its highly unrealistic imo and that's why I'm hoping if I simmed a month or two, it would drop a few.

>my rebounding stats are horrid
2bh, I don't think anyone who plays a position other than PF or C actually add anything to rebounding or even strength stats.

How does entering the HoF work? is it X amount of years after you retire?

Is it possible to have Kobe, Timmy, Dirk and VC in the same HoF class? would be the most based HoF class ever.

>tfw garnett is most likely retiring after being bought out by the timberwolves

>yfw paul pierce will ride the bench for one more season while getting some moments of greatness here and there against the wizards or celtics.

>Duncan, Garnett, Kobe all in the same offseason

5 years the minimum. Technically possible since Kobe and Timmy could refuse to be accepted until VC and Dirk's 5 years is up after they retire but that is very highly unlikely.

2021 will be Kobe and Timmy's class for sure. Chauncey Billlups, and Steve Nash could possibly join that class but will probably be in the 2020 class

Kobe would wait for his buddy Gasol

>Meanwhile Dirk is still the best player on his team

Would be the GOAT HOF class tho.

Its actually 4 years

In the document, obtained by ESPN, the two sides pledged to work together to find a way to take "meaningful action" in NBA cities in the wake of the unrest in the country over police shootings and related incidents.

>The sides are hoping to build on the series of town hall events and meetings with local police officials, such as one led by Carmelo Anthony in Los Angeles in July, to continue building bonds of trust between law enforcement, players and communities.

>Players have been seeking guidance from the union over the last several weeks in the wake of protests during the national anthem in the NFL. It is against NBA rules to not stand for the anthem. The league is not currently planning to change the rule, sources said. But Silver has supported players' desire to make social commentary in the past.

Don't @ me bitch

Something similar happened with some older Apple product. Refused to acknowledge it until some huge 3 year long outrage on forums , huge ass threads, and people contacting media outlets and getting mainstream support. Even then nothing. Finally a law firm built up a case and a bunch of people joined it, only them did Apple finally acknowledge it, then agreed to fix it for free.

Now Google and ASUS are ignoring it, Android users aren't as numerous and loudmothed as Apple, nor do they have the same media backing. Now Google is releasing a new Nexus 7, drawing attention away from the current outrage and movement. So there's pretty much nothing you can do besides throw it away or find yourself a lawyer and lose millions.

These corporations are fucking evil.

More proof technology is for suckers and just a pyramid scheme to steal your money and brainwash you into buying the latest shit even tho you don't need it.

ISHYGDDT

I love that literally right after he retires he becomes an assistant head coach.

Why is a team trading FOR Michael fucking Beasley? Is Tyler Ennis any good?

>let that sink in...
indeed

why won't hinke photoshop that webm? LMAO

>summer league

I told y'all he was good.

>SUMMER LEAGUE

Did you check his regular season stats? He's literally admitted his rookie season was fucking awful.

bucksfag here
he's a decent guy to come off the bench, plenty of assists and scores a couple points
I'm actually upset we traded him
How's Michael Beasley?

>le stats man
stats don't win championships.

He was never going to be good as a rookie. He was a rookie point guard in the NBA on one of the worst teams in the NBA with one of the worst coaches in the NBA that was constantly made to give the ball to one of the least efficient scorers in the NBA.

>OJ
Who?

youtube.com/watch?v=iQPtQzCM2vA

DID YOU HEAR THAT CHUCK?

Beasley was fine on the Rockets. He had a clearly defined role, because the entire team outside of Harden couldn't shoot for shit last season, so he just shot a ridiculous amount of mid-range jumpers and it was surprisingly effective doing so, in part because no-one expects anyone on the Rockets to actually shoot mid-range jumpers.

Well, I suppose he'll serve as a decent shooting guard for now. Enjoy Ennis. Like I said, he's a pass-first type of guy. I haven't seen him shoot that much but he is a decent finisher around the rim.

>stats don't win championships.
Neither does Russell lol

He'll probably turn into a good PG but you're expecting someone whose ceiling is like Mike Conley level to become the replacement for Kobe

You'll see

You'll all see

Russell is gonna be MVP in a few years

>someone whose ceiling is like Mike Conley
that's not bad desu. Play-off caliber PG, not the guy you're @'ing but i didnt even expect him to be our #1 go to guy anyways, he's just put in that role cause we lack real legit scorers imo. Ingram could be that but he's years away. we could get our "guy" from free agency down the line, but for now russell is okay.

Beasley will avg 16/6 mark my words

wew felipe

is ray allen just fucking with us?

Hahahah he looks like that one chick from Orange is the New Black. Was laughing so hard during playoffs

dem dsl's

Is that french guy / kneebrah?

Wew lad

he basically called the finals the new /wwe/ and said it would be rigged by silver.
thank you based knee brow

So how many consecutive Finals appearances will LeBron end up with?

That was his last.
forever 3-4

Yeaah it is, i got proof but i dont want a 3 day vacation for some frenchie

at least 2 more

how many professors stalk folk singers named lauren from chvrches?
i sent her all your info
good luck lmao

freaking curry fucking choker. men I cant say any credible shit about lebron

>my oc got removed

Why do i even bother, holy shit

>outscoring Lebron is fucking awful on /nba/ now
these are the same clowns who hated on kobr

Hes gonna average 20 4 and 4 easy, maybe more

But ingram is the future star imo, hes the durant to D'Angelos Westbrook

hopefully he doesn't turn the ball over a lot.

Yeah the grind is bullshit this year. I'm 89 overall and the archetype concept is cool and whatever but that's all you get to be good at is whatever's archetype you pick, however the greats in the NBA aren't defined by one archetype they can do everything that's why they are great, and I should be able to be a demigod like you said instead of some nigga who can only shoot 3's on an elite level or some nigga who can only play elite defense, the point of mycareer is to be the greatest ever. In 2k16 I was a 99 overall 5'9 pg with a 93 moving shot 3 and 97 standing shot 3, 93 speed/acceleration/stamina, 93 steal, and max out playmaking because I'm a point guard. Only thing I wasn't good at was rebounding and inside scoring, but this year I have no chance of being that great in anything except playmaking because that's what archetype I picked.

>letting your rating define your guy's career

You can still be a GOAT in 2k17 easy. You can make that 2k16 build by choosing sharpshooter but make great passes and plays with low playmaking stats still, its what I'm doing with my SF. I chose shot creator but my play like a point forward and now my player is literally about to win RotY and be on the All-NBA team.

>but Ingram is a future star imo

Lmao more like future porn star since that's where he's gunna end up when he busts in the NBA

>more like future porn star

One more month lads

>judge literally tells derrick rose to stop slut shaming the girl accusing him of rape or he'll hold him in contempt of court

is it against the law to defend yourself now? Kobe's whole defense around based around the fact his accuser was a slut, but 10 years later, it's not a legal defense?

goddamn society is fucked

I'm guessing you read the reddit thread too? Absolute cancer, prime example of why /nba/ General is better than /r/NBA.

It's sickening tbqh, you can't read past the first 4 or 5 comments without it going into a self-hate misogynist karma fest

Yeah this place can be shit at times, but it's always been about basketball and not political bullshit

>le i can't look at derrick rose the same anymore

what a load of shite

desu I'm probably gonna get a rose knicks jersey now. fucking slut was used to getting pounded every which way and now cries rape. fuckin gross

yeah i got banned a few months ago and never got around to making a new account, i called some guy a fag and they banned me and sent me a PM to some kind of free seminar about homosexual sensitivity .. im not even joking, and they said if i attended and posted proof that i did, they would unban me

THIS

>this general

>better than Jordan 6-0 (should be 8-0)
>3-4
At least it's not 2-5 though right? that would be really embarrasing.

you think lebron has another 1-2 titles in him? if he gets another one against the memes this year, he is going to be in the conversation for being better than jordan.

if he beats the warriors this year with durant, normies will have him higher than jordan

i personally would have him a solid #2

i feel kinda bad for kobr, i think the media and the league never really recognized those 2-3 years when he was the best ever in the league...the rape case really made it tough on him from a pr standpoint, and he recovered better than many expected, but idk senpai...i hope people under 25 understand kobr's importance to the game (specifically his influence on work ethic, which many guys like devin booker and ingram credit to kobe)

He'll never be better than Jordan because of his history.

Jordan was always cocky, but the fact that he was able to back up his cockiness everytime without fail turned his cockiness into competitiveness.
LeBeta is just Cocky, calling himself the best player in the world, yet he quit on both his teams multiple times after promising championships.
He'll also always have the history of being the bad guy, Cleveland loves him now because they're two faced, but I remember the burning LeBron jerseys and all the hate he got for going to Miami.
LeBron commands respect and control but it's never earned, plus he's never really won a ring by himself, he's always had a team around him aside from that one time he led the Cavs to the finals with literally who's.

>simultaneously doing my college music listening homework, swagbucks and shopping online for a fm transmitter so I don't have to listen to shitty fetty wap on the drive home from school

no i don't have an aux in my car its a 95

>plus he's never really won a ring by himself, he's always had a team around him aside from that one time he led the Cavs to the finals with literally who's.
funny how winning makes people forget soo easily, i agree with your post.

i doubt it, young fans are immature and get distracted by the meme dunks, they dont dive deeper to understand the game, i know cause i know a younger fan and he's to interested in what they wear, or just casually watches. but i mean the younger guys in the league know, the people who truly love the game know, i think it's safe to say the nba was left in good hands. Guys like KAT, wiggins, booker even though i think he looks like a faggot. Porizingas is going to be a goat imho. we;re good senpai pai.

>even though i think he looks like a faggot

who here /lakeys/?

smoothie

3 more and 3 more titles

Is Ingram or Russell the future of the Lakers?

Also post /nba/core

Kill yourselves for not even knowing the facts, and it's not even comparable to Kobe.

Kobe had sex with her consent, she changed her mind afterwards because she's a fucking idiot with mommy and daddy issues and is a full blown whore.

Rose has pretty already admitted he had sex with her without consent. That's the fundamental difference and with that admission he can no longer use her own reckless behavior or character as a defense in court therefore he was told so by the judge as it will only hurt his case.

Rose is a fucking idiot that literally doesn't know anything about consent or the fact it's even necessary to have sex, that's how fucked he is right now.

We already posted about this in a previous thread with court transcripts showing his admissions.

Goodbye /nba/
at least we got to see game 7 together

Fake and gay. Already saw people try this on other boards. That mook tweet was about the temporary server shut down.

The tweet was actually about him playing music on Cred Forums. He fucked it up.

why don't you just get a cassette to aux converter

>tfw on my day off of school/work I have a shit ton of stuff to take care of

Is this what being an adult is like

i used to use both an aux-to-cassette converter and an FM transmitter. kinda really liked that era desu, i enjoyed those mid 90s to mid 00s cars. putting in a 8GB SD card just isn't the same.

the FM transmitter came with the added bonus that i could keep peering in other people's cars in traffic jams wondering if they'd tune in on my anime music. i don't think it ever happened though :-(

yes it sucks

MADNESS.
Germans confirmed for supreme race.

That's not a complement. It just shows how bad the Mavs are.

Which approach is better.

Continually drafting and trading for young talent to develop and surround around your core of star players.
Or just trading away your draft picks and young talent for older players and targeting past their prime vets in free agency as complimentary players for your core of star/s?

Think OKC for the first, then Mavs for the last.

Young one.

But the Spurs Hybrid method is the best.

Which NBA team will be the first to pull the trigger on building one of these?

youtube.com/watch?v=lEAdLLmvP-A

Cuban would do it imo. Maybe the Russian billionaire that owns the Nets since there's no other reason to watch their games. This would be a good draw.

Just like my Japanese animes.

That looks annoying as fuck for the players.

Is this going to be used for the Olympics?

I wonder what the Japanese basketball league is like.

Is it even lower level than the Israel and Tunisian league?

We /future/ now

youtube.com/watch?v=u2YhDQtncK8

>mfw this will be the norm in the year 2020
>mfw self driving cars and VR waifus
>mfw we truly live in the greatest times

israel has a very decent league with some really good teams and it's also leagues above the tunisian league wtf dude how can you not know that

no one knows how strong the new b.league in japan is. it's the result of a fiba-enforced merger between the nbl and the bj league. looking at the teams that made the cut, i'd say the new league would compete with mid-tier european leagues, a few notches below the israeli league.

>NBA referees will be cracking down this season on the kind of hits to the groin area that resulted inDraymond Green's suspension during the NBA Finals.

>They also will more closely monitor traveling after complaints from coaches that players are getting away with too many steps on the perimeter.

>The hits to the groin - termed ''unnatural acts'' by the league - are a point of emphasis after a number of situations involving Green during the postseason. Golden State's All-Star forward had a habit of flailing his arms or legs and a few times made contact with opponents in the groin area.

GET FUCKED YOU NUT MONKEY

>Referees will watch especially for players who spot up behind the 3-point arc looking to shoot, but then are chased off by a defender and often get away with an extra step as they begin their dribble.

No more traveling for Stephanie Curry

>Another point of emphasis is making sure players are allowed freedom of movement away from the ball.

No more illegal screens.

COME HOME WHITE MAN

I don't know man. I don't think the NBA would allow him to even sign with a team. And no team would sign him regardless if he can't pass a physical.

what can you tell me about these guys?, i'd like a full /nba/ scouting report

Zach Auguste
Julian Jacobs
Yi Jianlian
Thomas Robinson
Travis Wear
Ivica Zubac

preseason starts in 11 days

Saw some trade ideas saying Rudy Gay for Rubio since their contracts are about the same and the Kings need guards.

Plus Gay would be best in a defensive minded team to hide his own weakness.

Why would the wolves do this

>Zach Auguste
Shit
>Julian Jacobs
Shit
>Yi Jianlian
Shit
>Thomas Robinson
Shit
>Travis Wear
Shit
>Ivica Zubac
Shit

Overall: Shit

Just like this Lakers team and its shit management or its shit owners.

Don't know. Would let Dunn start and develop as a starter, then let Gay be a main scorer until Wiggins gets better.

I could only see this if he signed as a FA but even then the Wolves would do better to get a PG.

Yi isnt shit. He can spread dat floor, knawsayn?

Dude is borderline crying during that emotional part.

Why not go one more year and retire with Pierce? KAT still needs that veteran big man to guide him.

KG at one point was planning on buying the team along with Flip. But since he died that dream is uncertain.

I still wouldn't be surprised if he got a job there so don't take him out of the equation of helping KAT.

Is the Heat "la familia" legacy ruined? They've ended on bad terms with Shaq, Wade, LeBron and now Bosh. Is Riley autistic or just an asshole?

>Chris Bosh spotted in Cleveland

Headed to the Cavs? Or just talking to bron bron?

Asshole

He's pretty much throwing the old guys away and focusing on the young guys. That's how he lured Waiters and resigned Whiteside.

He can't play ball dumbass, it's not just the Heat. The dude can't even pass NBA health standards.

gonna miss him :(

Yes he's headed to the cavs

I dont think that specific reason is it. Riley didnt want to sign whiteside until 6 teams offered him max.

I think riley is an asshole thought. He is too competitive and this style of coaching worked in earlier times. Now riley is disconnected with this generation.

>bosh didnt want to talk to riley
Thats fucking sad. I hate how the big 3 ended.

Men it could also be some of the big 3s fault. Come on lebron wanted to do everything himself and the organization did not want to be walked all over

Anyone else like to ignore frogposters?

...

>paul pierce is the last big three member

Oladipo throwing Orlando under the bus here.

Pretty much calling them losers.

HONEY NUT CHEERIOS

Is this tannehill/pray4bosh?

Are you the same fuccboi who @'d me about rose and Kobe's situations being different


Never @ me again

Heat doctors are fucking pussies who are looking out for the Heat's bottom line, they don't give a fuck whether Bosh is healthy or not

Happy Mother's day.

too rude

>there will never be a player this savage ever again

NBA is too soft.

I wonder if Melo still thinks about this.

not like it helped KG

>In fact, Duncan hates Kevin Garnett. Hates him the way liberals hate Sean Hannity. This information comes from very reliable sources, who talk about how KG has made a career of trying to punk Duncan, baiting him and slapping him and whispering really weird smack into his ear. They talk about how funny this is, because the worst thing you can do as an opponent is piss off Duncan. Then, as Malik Rose says, "he f------ destroys you." Duncan's lifetime numbers versus Garnett's teams, by the way: 19.4 points per game, 11.6 boards and a 44--17 record, including the postseason.
>Duncan is diplomatic about the topic. Asked if perhaps all those years battling Garnett have softened his feelings for the man, led to a Magic-Larry type of kinship, Duncan leans back on the couch in his hotel room and grins. There is a pause. A longer pause. Finally he says, "Define kinship."

>KG once took crab cakes from Mason Plumlee and gave them to Reggie Evans because Plumlee (a rookie) tried to eat before the vets.

>KG then made Mason Plumlee act as the team flight attendant on the charter.

Poor little white boy.

Obviously Tim was on a better team but during the Celtic years they had a good record vs the Spurs.

WEW KOBE it's almost here. the first week of games is going to be soo based.

all these teams, where my /lakers/ bros at? @ ME!

thank you for the funny moments KG you will be remembered...

>"fuck ray allen ima kill dat nigga"

I'm going to miss KG, Kobe, Duncan... End of an era.

are we going to get a Kobe, KG, Duncan AND Bosh hall of fame class? is this possible?

Fantasy draft tomorrow 12pm pst

>Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor: Nikola Pekovic out for season, might be bought out

Goodbye Nikola. T wolves need a C and a PF now.

Jah and pieces to Twolves for Rubio?

eh they got KAT and dieng, plus bjelica, aldrich, jordan hill, and payne backing them up. they're good.

zubac and your pick of mozgov or JianLian

>On @TheVertical: Fresh off Olympic gold, Paul George has a message for LeBron James: "I'm ready for you."

sports.yahoo.com/news/paul-georges-message-to-lebron-im-ready-for-you-200023784.html

PG13 directly challenging LeBron. Hold the fuck up.

>“Honestly, I look at us challenging them. I’ve been in the East and I’ve been No. 1 with LeBron being on a team,” George told The Vertical in a recent telephone interview, harkening back to when the Pacers finished with the best regular-season record in the East in 2013-14, the season before his gruesome Team USA leg injury. “Really, what I’m looking at is it coming down to me getting us past the conference finals. … I’m confident in myself. I’m confident in what I can do.”

>George’s playoff duels with James established him as a star on the rise but never a rival, especially because he never won. Overcoming the adversity of the past two years, however, has given George a better sense of what he’s achieved and more belief that he belongs on a similar stage. “I’ve always matched up with him like, ‘I know he can do this, I know he can do that,’ ” George told The Vertical about James. “Not in an awe fashion, but it’s more so, ‘I’m not supposed to win these games. This is supposed to be the best dude in the NBA. I’m trying to challenge him. I know what I’m up against.’ Now it’s, ‘I’m ready. I’m ready for you. I’m a veteran. I know you, you know me. Let’s meet here, let’s get this job done.’ I’m prepared. I’ve had time to figure this out. I’ve had time to lick my wounds. I’m ready.”

celtics
pistons


teams not going to contend but are going to be must watches::
bulls
knicks
lakers
wolves
76ers
bucks

JUST tier::
heat
brooklyn
kings
wizards

Why do people think OKC is up there with Durant gone?

F

>OKC
>Contenders

Training camp for a lot of teams is tomorrow.

KD is a choking bitch and only hindered the team with his mentally weak ass. Oladipo Westbrook backcourt gonna torch the league. Best frontcourt rotation in the league. Depth for days. Looking at interviews there's going to be ball movement and Russ is going to get everyone involved. No more throw a ball to Durrbeta and watch him iso chuck them out of a 4th quarter lead.

Absolutely love how everyone forgot about this game and collectively ignored it as they went on to blame literally everyone but KD for being a heroball chucker.

At least KG and Duncan were classy about their retirements and didn't put on a season long 'look at me' tour of the NBA like you know who.

>33 shots 21%FG
>2-11 3PT

He went Mamba mode on that one, hahaha KOBE BTFO

Chucking ass bitch.

let me tell you why I think okc will be contenders. They lost the beta part of the team, look at their roster:
adams - one of, if not, thee toughest center in the league
westbrook - well you already know about him
oladipo - hasnt been on a winning team, watch the interview, but the way he talks, there isnt a inch of beta in his blood, not like durant, you never heard oladipo say some of the beta shit KD has said

shit like "omg lebron is soo good" or shit like that, you guys know. you never heard him bitch like "waaahhh i've been second in the draft, second in the finals. second my whole life" oladipo is ready to win and i think he can help westbrook.

they have good bigs, kanter, lauvernge that french faggot but he's a good player, he was pretty gud on the nuggies. oroberson whos a good defender, illyasova good vet, and cameron payne elfrid payton 2.0.

i can see them in the conference finals no problemo. rematch against the spuds. now thats going to be a series.

Hey now, watch your mouth. That's Westbrook's dad you're talking about.

Wait, I thought Westbrook was the dad and Kobe was the son?

What a pugilant child.

Soon he will learn his place.

Just like all that came before him.

Oh shit, my bad. You're right.

>when you hear it...
it's official he's a top PG in the league according to sport science, we made it bros.

>Eternally cucked Koward Durrbeta, Stephanie Curry, Boston big three, PG13, Spurdoras, Cawks

Can anyone stop this man?

Literally a god among men.

>It's a wrap, red khakis, red Cincinnati
>I'ma see you in the streets, DON'T @ ME
>You like a boat with a hole you can't sail
>Meek Mill, me and Drake gave you them two LLs

What the fuck is this. Sounds stupid

someone in tomorrow's draft livestream it so others can watch and meme with us.

Some old ass bitch acting like he's relevant in the year 2016.

Just ignore it.

DRUMMOND DRUMMOND DRUMMOND THAT BOY UP TO SOMETHING.

Brehs, I think I'm a psychic.
I always wake up before my alarm and I forgot I ordered food, then when I remembered I ordered food, the delivery guy was at my door. CrAZY

It better be his fucking free throws. It becomes a hindrance having him on the court the last few minutes in the 4th.

i have a feeling about porzingas, he's going to have a monster year.

>And don't try to whine to the Grapes
>You not the Rams, don't come back to L.A
>I fuck around and catch an Uber to Slay
>I'm a drama king, and a street sweeper with a K

they gonna start calling him meek milll

We haven't had sex in three weeks and sometimes she'll go days without speaking to me

>We haven't had sex in three weeks and sometimes she'll go days without speaking to me

BASKETBALL IS ABOUT TO START, SO WHO CARES LOL

Relationship is going down the drain. Probably cheating on you too. GL senpai

Wolves taking the same approach with KG that Spurs did with Duncan: he will be waived so he gets entire salary for next season

twitter.com/APkrawczynski

Classy move by the Wolves.

just in time for the season, good on you m8

Except Kobr said he didn't want all that nonsense, he even tried to stop the half time ceremonies.

However his fanbase is so huge compared to those other two guys (probably has more fans in China than KG and Duncan have worldwide) that it was impossible for it not to be a circus.

Kobe went out in a very Kobe like way. Duncan went out in a Duncan way.

I wanted KG go nuts and have someone put up a Youtube of him putting his nuts on Tom Thibodeau's head or something or calling Tyrus Jones a midget

Kobe is the wife or son, depending on what dank stock images I find

Westbrook is the dad, I think

>According to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical, the Heat increasingly believe that Chris Bosh's career with the franchise is over.

>Woj adds that Bosh hasn't spoken with Pat Riley in months, and it's no secret that the two sides have had their fair share of disagreements regarding Bosh's health. The 32-year-old forward recently failed another physical because doctors found evidence of "some continued clotting," and while the Heat simply said that he has no timetable for a return, his NBA career could be over. The Heat are hopeful to get a meeting with Bosh soon to discuss his future. This story is just heating up, so check back for updates throughout the week.

It's interesting to note the Cavs team doctor specializes in blood clot treatments

I think he ends up in Cleveland, probably coming off the bench for 10-15 minutes, their doctors would clear him for sure

Bosh needs to let this die. It's over, stop fighting it. You've been struck with a career ending illness.

You can't fight fate.

>KD got confirmed lying about Westbrook again

Lmao, this bitch literally cannot get a fucking clue.

>We cool now

Why is he trying so hard? Durrbeta literally can't even give a fucking phone call he's so scared.

Noo, I like bosh. He's a cool dinosaur.
We watched a video in my computing class and he was on it. Dude can program.

Whose word do you believe? For all we know, WB could be the one lying. There's 2 conflicting arguments. Only way we'll find out is when they play against each other

>Whose word do you believe?
GET THE FUCK OUT, THIS IS A WESTBROOK GENERAL. HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE BESTBROOK OF LYING, OFF WITH YOUR HEAD.

holy shit guys sam is following people on twitter guys, he just followed me back...He ignored me until I mentioned Cred Forums

>tfw I have direct communication with le photoshop tutorial man

oops @'d you by accident, i'm on mobile sorry senpai

btw what mobile app do you guys use? is there anything better than Clover?

>believing a literal fucking snake

LMAO

>6 years later
Everyone on the celtics left too. So did lebron

Yeah but lebron didn't go to the mavericks after he got his ass handed to him

>s there anything better than Clover?
Nope. That's the only good one.

But he left after promising another title. He's the OG snake

As someone new to watching NBA how do I catch up with all the shit and latest memes?

>left
They were traded. At least KG and Pierce.

LeBron was a homecoming to right his wrongs, not comparable.

Not really. He wanted to win and he knew he couldn't with Wade and Bosh (look at bosh now). Going back home was a coincidence. They had an allstar PG who he wanted to play with

>new to watching NBA
wew kobe, read the archives from the past two years, you'll be done by the end of the season. but just watch last season finals and you're good.

NEW

You're still a few posts short you fucking new fag. Are you that desperate to have a "successful" thread? It's a general yaknow

>Are you that desperate to have a "successful" thread

Yes but it's more about the next general having a reminder about the fantasy draft happening tomorrow.

>Whose word do you believe?
>WB could be the one lying

At least you admitted to it

How hype is next season going to be?

>KG's successor is duncan 2.0
>spurs' first big man signing after duncan is a KG fan

instagram.com/p/BKt06heAEwc/

Well there's a new villain in town, but Kobe and Timmy are gone. Dunno, we'll see.

Hype af senpai.

Weak sauce bruh, Get that shit outahere.

HE DID IT AGAIN

THIS NIGGA IS SAVAGE

haha holy shit

Wew Kobe 8 times?

MAMA DERE GO DAT MAN

Riley is cold, but he's successful at it. Heat will never really be in trouble because they have the easiest FA meetings, "Listen, it's Florida, no state tax, hot bitches, and I won a shit ton of rings."

I mean he handles it as a business, if he kept a 80 year old Wade on the team, most sportswriters would be bitching about it. I never really understood the arguments against a man treating a business like a business, and thinking long term rather than short term,

>OKC
>Contenders

I don't care how "Motivated" Westbrick is, do OKC fags forget the season that Durant was out and Westbrook shot them out of the playoffs.

>Not even listing GSW
You really think that they won't atleast make the finals. Who the fuck is left in the west, to beat them? Barring a shit ton of injuries, they're a lock for the Finals again.

If anything, we'll get GSW vs Cavs III, and judging by history, Lebron > Durcant. So LeGoat does it again.

Chris Bosh a hall of famer?

Not on my watch

SUFFOCATION, NO BREATHING
