Life Plan For The Greatest Basketball Minds

1. Get a top 10 all time player and greatest power forward ever
2. Win titles with him
3. Don't win shit without him
4. Drink a lot of wine
:lol

[Clipper Nation]

The Raptors are such frauds. I guess DeRozan and Lowry never got the memo on the "culture change."

[TDfan2007]

Craptors gonna crap...

[AlexJones]

All NBA players should fall down on contact because the NBA is soft bush league.

[AlexJones]

Can't wait to see Cavs-Wizards in round 2 because the Raptors are cucks.

[lefty]

JR and Green must hate LeBron

[ambchang]

Not sure why raptors are going away from ball movement and back to iso ball again. Just horrible basketball on both sides.

[LkrFan]

You'll get Austin Rivers, Wes Johnson and Danilo Gallinari and like it. :downspin:

Clipps would be getting fleeced in det deal tbh :downspin:

[Brunodf]

Indiana bigs are playing so well, nice to see a coach playing 2 of them at the same time

[AlexJones]

Lebron point shaving. He knows his time in CLE is done

[DAF86]

1st round exit for the Kang?

[daslicer]

Korver saved the Cavs. Sucks ass they would have probably lost this game if it wasn't for his timely shots.

[Brunodf]

And the moment they started playing small ball the Cavs made a run :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Oladipo is a disgusting player to watch. Dark skin Westbrook.

[DAF86]

Lebron having to play the entire second half for the Cavs to squeeze out a win on the first round of the playoffs. :lol

:lol LeCoach calling a timeout

He must do everything in that pathetic franchise

:lol wtf

[ace3g]

shaky call but come on cavs wernt losing to Pacers..

[Darth_Pelican]

That was WWE shit right there :lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

26 FT's to Indy's 13 :lol

Philly smokes either regardless.

[lefty]

Good call tbh

[Arcadian]

Indiana fucking choked. Couldn't make anything in the 4th.

Meanwhile, Cleveland is looking like their 2007 selves, totally dependent on Lebron to do anything.

[Clipper Nation]

The haters are saltier than ever, they're soooooo desperate to see LeGOAT lose :lol

It's not the refs' fault that Indiana pulled a Raptors and played heroball down the stretch.

[spursistan]

:lol thinking Silver was letting Lebron get bounced in 1st round.

[Fabbs]

Really good plays by Stevenson and what an unclutch play by Green. Protect the farking ball. :rolleyes
I didn't hear the explanation of the refs call. Marv Albert and Webber babbled on but did they state the ruling?

He got ball 1st but the wraparound the head, I dunno.

Regardless, for Lebron to be dragging scrubs like JR Dumbass and Green to playoff wins is still good. Korver stepped up, unlike last finals against Showers.

[ViceCity86]

Perfect 8-0 on NBA picks this weekend. Straight up, no points.

Minny and Okc tomorrow.

[Clipper Nation]

This is some truly disgusting selfishness:

Dennis Johnson/Danny Ainge were a top 5 backcourt in their day, maybe top 3, but neither would start on current NBA team except the Spurs. :lol

[Chillen]

The game was there for the taking tonight for the Pacers but they just missed shots in the 4th quarter, they made Kyle Korver look like Robert Horry, lol. If Cavs win game 5 in Cleveland I think they go on to win this series so Indy choked bigtime tonight.

[SAGirl]

Find me another instance in which Popovich made such a bold statement about any other of his players. He said it because he felt it. And truth be told, he might have been right. Kawhi is that good.
*was... after this season he’s going to have to prove himself again.
But it’s a shame zaza deprives him of the opportunity to prove it and then he has become a one legged man.

:lol You just got done cherrypicking one game against Bogdanovic.

[ambchang]

Let's compare the worst scoring playoff games in wins for Lebron and Jordan in the playoffs (I know, subjective, based on points, FG%).

Lebron: http://bkref.com/tiny/HxtbH
DK: http://bkref.com/tiny/BU6E6

Honestly, from a scoring numbers perspective, the worst games are pretty similar, but Lebron usually shot a little better (less chucking), and contributed more in other areas, like rebounding and assists, but really, the differences aren't that huge.

Now onto the best scoring playoff games in losses:
Lebron: http://bkref.com/tiny/GV0vY
Jordan: http://bkref.com/tiny/D23rM

From a scoring perspective, Jordan was unsurprisingly better. Shooting efficiencies, based on the eye test, seems similar. Again, Lebron usually rebounds and assist better, but not by a huge margin.

So what is the conclusion? Both had supporting casts stepped up, and both had supporting casts sucking.

No surprises there.

BI and Chef (Under Armor) needs to sign with Nike. Nike was good enough for MJ, Kobe, and LBJ so BI should sign with them too.

[daslicer]

Timmy D's ... does anyone outside SA and maybe the AC Green islands wear those? Wasnt he signed to Adidas? Kobe made the same mistake initially ...as has Brandon Ingram.

Duncan was originally with Nike and I think it was around '01 that he switched to Addidas. Addidas offered him a shit load of money at the time comparable to what they gave to Harden and Rose and Duncan made the switch based on the money.

Durant is a great talent but a fucking pussy

Westbrook is Alpha, but his decision making isn't the best and he is a stat padder.

Neither is perfect

[DAF86]

Oh yeah, I'll take your word over a HOF player who played against both of them. :tu

Don't take my word. Take the word of the vast majority of the basketball World that has Lebron as a top 5 player ever and Kobe outside of the top 10.

Don't take my word. Take the word of the vast majority of the basketball World that has Lebron as a top 5 player ever and Kobe outside of the top 10.

White Americans hate Kobe due to Colorado. Spurs fans hate Kobe due to him kicking Jim's ass 4-2 h2h, 3peating, and repeating (two things Jim FAILED to do :lol).

True NBA players opinions matter more to me than some farmers and tiki torch bearers. :lol

Winnable series for Minny if Thibs stops being stupid...

Eric Gordon has been the worst player in this series..

Houston's role players have been soooooooo bad..it's not even like the Spurs, where Green and Mills still have gravity..Houston's are open all game with no defender within 15 feet of them and they still can't make shit(other than Gerald Green)..

[Bynumite]

Harden's game is repulsive to watch, abortionball:vomit:

As I've been saying for years, giving the MVP to Frauden would discredit the honor entirely. Might as well retire the award altogether if they give it to this flopping, choking loser.

Sheer desperation to keep that Adidas money.

The Rockets are just lucky they're facing a team so bad, they're nearly impossible to choke to. It's going to be fun to see these frauds against a real team in the second round.

Towns should be ashamed that he can't back down Frauden and score on him easily.

I feel for teams like Minnesota..they're going to get killed by fans and media for no reason, they're just severely outmatched against Houston..

This series had been very fluky prior to that 3rd quarter..Houston was only making 25% of their open 3s, while Minnesota, a poor shooting team, was shooting 56% on those shots..

[DAF86]

3-5 > 5-2? :lolkay

I wish son. I have no problem with you going all the way.

It is going to be too late for KAT/Wiggins before the Wolves decide to fire Thibs.. He is not the right coach for both at this early stage of their career.

Rockets have been getting away with switching Harden on post players all season long and nobody could make them pay. They are more than OK with fighting postups with open 3's.

They actually lure opposing teams into posting up.

[HarlemHeat37]

Rockets have been getting away with switching Harden on post players all season long and nobody could make them pay. They are more than OK with fighting postups with open 3's.

I know, but a post player who isn't a liability on defense can still hurt them..even Aldridge dominated them in key moments last season..I agree that I'd rather have a 3-point, guard-based offense with a Capela-type at C, though..

Towns can't even make them pay on post ups, doesn't know how to handle double teams and has no clue how to play defense..

[HarlemHeat37]

The Rockets are so fortunate that a trade for Melo never worked out:lol

[Spurtacular]

I only tuned in for just a couple possessions, ten minutes ago. Gobert getting hacked (maybe the most savage foul of the game if I had to guess), and the thunderrefs swallowed their whistle. And of course they gave the Jazz coach a T for getting incensed. Joey Crawford's legacy lives on.

[Robz4000]

FatMelo is playing awful but it feels like every time Crowder ends up on him he gets embarrassed.

Damn Adams

Can’t believe Westbrook was on the court

Series boiled down:: Utah system > OKC flawed star-power +shitty coaching

[Down Under]

First thing the Wolves should do is trade Wiggins - inefficient offensive player who's atrocious defensively & you've got Butler who's essentially a much better version of him.

[spursistan]

OKC should trade Westbrook and star over. This 6th-8th seed/ Westbrook Tripledouble whoring act has gotten old..

If Presti could get a couple of high lottery picks, they could do seamless and fast rebuild..

[HarlemHeat37]

First thing the Wolves should do is trade Wiggins - inefficient offensive player who's atrocious defensively & you've got Butler who's essentially a much better version of him.

I expected them to do it last Summer..I hate coaches masquerading as GMs, we'll see if Thibs is competent enough to move him..even with the max deal, I'm sure there will be a few teams that still believe he could be a star..

[Robz4000]

This series is just about over. OKC prolly wins Game 5 at home but at this point the Jazz are clearly the superior team.

Any time an "unathletic" big shows the tiniest hint of skill, he's anointed as the next Tim Duncan :lol

Problem is, another team would have to want that contract in order for a trade to be possible. Maybe Magic would be dumb enough to do it, but that's about it.

Spurs had the current best coach in the West as their D-league coach in 2010:lol

And their current D-league coach looks pretty good too.

[spursistan]

Yeah, Snyder would be one of my favorites candidate who I would want to succeed Pop..This Jazz team has no business going this deep and late in the season..

He looks like a supervillain from a Marvel movie. I imagine him saying "We must capture Spider Man!" during timeouts.

[Robz4000]

:lmao that world cup ad

[HarlemHeat37]

West semis are both monster matchups..Jazz-Rockets is going to be great and Pelicans have a real shot if Curry isn't returning until the middle of the series or later..

The flopping and bitchyness of a Paul-Rubio matchup:lol

[RsxPiimp]

mitt romney taunting westbrook might very well be the highlight of the series

Gobbert is the prototypical perfect center for today's NBA.

Joe Ingles must be a God in Utah right now, I bet they didn't believe they would find another one after Stockton retired..

I initially called him out as just a dumb slow white guy. Egg on my face, tbh.

Donovan for some reasons strikes me as a guy whose comfortable in Utah. He may be their second black god since Karl Malone.

Specially after trading Hayward.

[Kawhitstorm]

it doesn't take a genius to know that taking Tim Duncan out for Boris Diaw at the end of a game to clinch the Finals is a bad idea. "greatest basketball mind" :lmao

:lmao

[Spurtacular]

:lol People who thought OKC would be a contender when they signed George and Anthony
:lol Dumbasses

I never did. But I know how much NBA marketing dept. loves "The Big Three"; and I thought in conjunction with the warrefs they might be able to string together a good series if Utah played like the unseasoned team they are. But OKC is just mercenaries vs. a real team and it's showing.

[AlexJones]

Houston in 5. Utah wins a game thanks to home cooking

[Killakobe81]

First thing the Wolves should do is trade Wiggins - inefficient offensive player who's atrocious defensively & you've got Butler who's essentially a much better version of him.

agree 100% ...
Smart, randle, Gordon and of course Embiid all drafted after Wiggins is he definitely better than any of them? They all have holes in their games (For Embiid its health the other 3 is range shooting) but at least they play aggresively. plus only embiid got a max deal like Wiggins.

[HarlemHeat37]

Donovan for some reasons strikes me as a guy whose comfortable in Utah. He may be their second black god since Karl Malone.

They got him early with a good coach and system, it makes a massive difference for his career trajectory..he clearly has chucking tendencies, his development would have been seriously damaged if he had landed on a team like Phoenix or New York(he would have been taking 30 shots per game on bad efficiency in meaningless games)..

[Kawhitstorm]

KAT getting exposed out there. Can't fault him though, post players can't really do much on today's NBA against teams like the Rockets.

Softridge ate their lunch in Gm 6

[HarlemHeat37]

Magic better throw the max at Paul George :lol

[AlexJones]

RWB stat pad time

[Kawhitstorm]

His BB IQ is pretty low,tbh..To think he was compared to Duncan coming out to college..:lol

He will have a solid career, but an All-time great? I'm very skeptical.

Hype up :lolVin Baker:lol

[DAF86]

Softridge ate their lunch in Gm 6

A collection of 5 Spurstalk posters would have eaten Rockets' lunch in gm 6 with the way hangover Harden played that night.

[daslicer]

:lol Russ is starting to have a meltdown. He really wants to get ejected out of this game.

[Robz4000]

Westchimp is trying to quit.

[Arcadian]

Westbrook is a punkass bitch. He keeps trying to instigate shit, and the Jazz are too savvy to fall for it.

"Shut that shit down" :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

WestBrick relegated to being a role player by George Paul:wow

[hater]

Cancerchuck and Melo. Who ever thought theyd get anywhere with these two cancers :lmao

[DAF86]

Ingles just keeps subtly dissing OKC players. :lol

[Killakobe81]

Magic better throw the max at Paul George :lol

I havr maintained at max he will be overpaid. Give him the $17 mill KCp was making (or Deng is making) and i gladly pay it.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ingles had the best 3-point % in the league and OKC keeps leaving him wide open:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Cancerchuck and Melo. Who ever thought theyd get anywhere with these two cancers :lmao

They should sign Porker this summer for the hat trick.....

[Killakobe81]

Ingles just keeps subtly dissing OKC players. :lol

he a master at throwing subtle and not so subtle shade at OKC ...

[AlexJones]

It's like WW3 if you go to reddit and tell them Russ isn't even in the same league as Durant and Harden. Scott Hall of the NWO

[DAF86]

he a master at throwing subtle and not so subtle shade at OKC ...

That's why is so good. Everybody knows what he's doing but nobody can't do shit about it, 'cause he's not really breaking any rule. That ref that T'ed him up should get fined. :lol

[Killakobe81]

mitchell calming down Crowder like a vet ...
What a poised rookie ...
he is like a young dwade with bit more range but not as much polish on his midrange ...

[Kawhitstorm]

I wish Chris Childs was still in the league to two-piece WestBrick:lol

[DAF86]

Westbrook chimping out :lol

Legacy defining series, tbh.

[Arcadian]

Fuck the Thunder. What a stupid faggot team. All they have is a few 1-on-1 players and the attitude of a 14-year-old kid who gets dragged out of PE kicking and screaming.

[daslicer]

OKC is having a super meltdown in this game. It's pretty comical to watch.

[Killakobe81]

That's why is so good. Everybody knows what he's doing but nobody can't do shit about it, 'cause he's not really breaking any rule. That ref that T'ed him up should get fined. :lol

that was bullshit but refs will argue they were trying to regain control...

[D-Wade]

lol a young Philly team responded to the less talented Heat's physicality with poise. The so called vets of OKC with the Jazz, on the other hand, are acting like brats.

[daslicer]

I noticed that to. He knows the Thunder are trying to bait his team into fighting with them and is smart enough not to fall for it.

[Killakobe81]

Gobert tech was also bullshit ...

[Kawhitstorm]

Westbrook chimping out :lol

Legacy defining series, tbh.

Like by Snake

[daslicer]

Crowder's ejection was bs. Draymond smashed Bertan's face in game two with an elbow and didn't get ejected. Hopefully the league doesn't suspend Crowder that would be bs.

[Kawhitstorm]

lol a young Philly team responded to the less talented Heat's physicality with poise. The so called vets of OKC with the Jazz, on the other hand, are acting like brats.

It's a team led by 3 mental midgets.......it's to be expected

[DAF86]

lol that's so bullshit.

Crowder wasn't trying to hit anybody. It should have been a T at most.

[Robz4000]

:lol this is getting ugly

[D-Wade]

Refs need to clamp down here wow

[Kawhitstorm]

WestBrick ready to self combust at any moment

[Killakobe81]

That's why is so good. Everybody knows what he's doing but nobody can't do shit about it, 'cause he's not really breaking any rule. That ref that T'ed him up should get fined. :lol

the smile on Ingles face as he shoots is comic gold tbh

[Robz4000]

This game might not be over yet...

[daslicer]

Jazz have to be careful not to get complacent now. There's still enough time for OKC to comeback plus the refs are calling the game tightly now.

[AlexJones]

Donovan should be fired after this

[Robz4000]

This game might not be over yet...

Nevermind

[The Third Man]

:lol Cue the Rockets fans bragging about beating the 8th seed.

The Rockets hurt your feelings. Sorry, about your pain.

Congrats on the title bro

[HarlemHeat37]

I bet all the Thunder players would give away their April paychecks for a shot at Ingles without consequences:lol

Nothing worse in basketball than a white boy torching you, tbh.. we've all been there..

[Kawhitstorm]

Was Capela also hungover?

[RsxPiimp]

ingles gonna get lynched in okc if jazz wins in game 5

[Killakobe81]

:lmao Ingles absolutely shitting all over the Thunder

that whiteboy looked back at PG after that 3 too...smiling again.

[AlexJones]

Russell will throw G5 just to get Donovan out of there for good

[DAF86]

Was Capela also hungover?

Last year's Rockets were irrelevant outside Harden. That's why the Paul move was a no-brainer.

[DAF86]

Russell will throw G5 just to get Donovan out of there for good

And get who? Another yes man that lets him do whatever he wants?

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi value has tanked bigtime. An injury-prone autistic mute who quit on the most respected organisation in the NBA.. .

Most respected organization.....as if that means anything when it comes to free agency :lmao

Who the hell signed to play in a town with a dirty creek besides washed up players & a 3rd tier star who wanted to play in Phoenix :lol (Tim wanted out before Doc Rivers blew it)

[AlexJones]

HAHAHAHAHA under 208 bettors

[AlexJones]

And get who? Another yes man that lets him do whatever he wants?

Yep. Mark J

[Robz4000]

Damn, was hoping we'd get another Malice in the Palace out of this.

[Clipper Nation]

And get who? Another yes man that lets him do whatever he wants?

Russ is a competitor. No doubt, he wants a coach who wants to win as much as he does. Not another bland generic loser like Brooks or Donovan.

I was gonna post something similar but it sounded racist as i started typing it :lol but its true. Happened to me once in HS and the thugs on my team wanted to fight them sooo bad. i was pissed too but only wanted to fight when provoked ...sometimes you gotta take that L. It sux but it happens ...they backdoored us to death ...cuz only me and the PGs had hogh bballIQs the frontcourt was all hops speed and height with little skills.
