Larry Bird was 6'11", but he always lied and said he was 6'9"
Why?
Pic shows bird was the same height at McHale, who was 6'11"

>>146679259
McHale and Parish aren’t 6’11. Larry and Bird were around the same height.

>>146679259
He was 6'9" in the doctors, barefoot.
NBA height is inflated.

When you have a Luka/Joker/Bird, you build defense tactics/Roster around blow-bys.
However, the coach needs to be good, the help has to be coachable, and talented, and the tall white guy has to see the game as far ahead as he is behind athletically.

Not all blow-bys are created equal. If a guy's 'Left' underperformed, and you manage contact while funnel Left into your soldiers, then you still get the metric

tonight's games:
OKC vs 76xsters - only point spread watchers should care about this
Cavs vs Indy - quality
Suns vs Hawks - geriatric losers getting kwab'd
Kangz vs Bucks - Kangz currently have the longest winning streak in the NBA, but the Bucks are good, so probably worth watching
Pels vs Bulls - Pels suck, but so do the Bulls
Nuggers vs Mavs - Possibly a close game if Murray plays like shit again
Nets vs Blazers - west coast late game which will likely double as a sedative, only interesting to Cooper Flagg

>he is not wrong

NBACentral
@TheDunkCentral
Jimmy Butler reportedly got fed up with the Miami Heat after they signed players like Josh Richardson and Thomas Bryant as a way to add help to the roster, per
@TheAthletic


“…frustrations over other contenders being more aggressive — the defending Boston Celtics acquiring Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday, the Milwaukee Bucks traded for Damian Lillard — have left Butler disappointed with the Heat seemingly not being as ambitious the source said. Last year seemed to mark a crucial pivot point, as Miami brought in Thomas Bryant and Josh Richardson to bolster its roster, which left Butler feeling he had to ‘do the impossible again,’ the source said.”


>but he got mad the heat didnt sign gabe vincent or max strus

fucking pick one

>>146680647
Well, the Heat were looking at KD, Donovan Mitchell and Dame and they ended up getting Terry Rozier

>>146680656
none of those guys were in fucking question
>dame
cronin did no business and dealt him in spite
>kd
heat didnt have cap
>mitchell
mitchell signed long term before he was on the market

>>146680647
Jimmy is a diva and nobody likes him. If he was charismatic like Legod then everyone would be lining up to play with him

>>146680662
At least Janice wants to come here. With him and bam we got the by far best interior defense secured. Some perimeter and defense and we can win a chip through defense.

>>146680690
>call jimmy a diva but not lebron

what are you smoking

>>146680690
Nigga what the only reason people want to play with bron is because they like the attention being with him brings or because they hope he drags them to a ring LOL

>>146680735

Jimmy could easily drag a team to a ring though. Lebozo is scared shitless of playing a healthy jimmy.

>>146680767
Hes literally ringless

>>146680773
Because silver rigs it against him because all of the NBA is scared shitless of healthy jimmy balling on all their asses

>>146680767

well thats because pat failed him

I think the real lesson we all learned here is that Boston is shit and will never win another ring

>>146680863

>Jimmy throwing his teammates under the bus
Lol. He's just as soft as Gaytum at this rate. It's not about this, this is just to make him look "good" and Pat "bad". It's always about the extension.

>waaahhhh I don't got any help

Hartenstain & Caruso.

Jimmy is right, some teams are allowed to get stacked and some teams can't even fix glaring issues with the roster.

She's the one who called the bs tech on him for dunking earlier and after the Pacers got shit on by the refs all game I don't blame him desu. Bitch is just following a script.

>>146682911
Nice ticket.

>>146682903
In the first quarter she t'd him up for hanging on the rim for a flying dunk, even though he did nothing wrong. All game the refs have been awful and she just called him on what he thought was a clean block at a key moment (like the tenth time a call has stopped Pacers momentum in the second half) so he got mad and got a second tech.

it's time

suns post defense is so shit they make onyeka okongwu look like prime david robinson

KD is the only one playing like an NBA player for my suns, as per usual.

Why the fuck are the Cavs gonna get 70 wins

when jan 15th hits we need to trade okogie for Richards ASAP. how can the Celtics get Porzingus and Jrue for nothing but my suns have to break out backs to get a back up center. its not fucking fair.

>>146682974
they're a good team that was held back by their retarded coach and injuries

The dumb cunt ref actually gave him 2 techs for clapping, forgetting that she gave him the earlier tech. Might be the first time in NBA history that a player got 3 techs. That's what you get with female refs.

beal looks so done on the sidelines. fuck him. waive that NTC, we dont want you in phoenix anymore. I hope no one talks to him in the locker room. again fuck beal.

our defense sucks and we dont have energy. we dont have a center after we bench he who must not be named so players like onyeka okongwu get 20 boards

these NPC white dudes on the hawks had wide open threes, our only 3 point specialist is Grayson Allen. the rest are mid range guys.

honestly this suns teams shows why the super team era is done.

>He's averaging only about .5 more points than Jokic while getting less rebounds/
He's a guard, not a center

> while also being the biggest FT merchant in the league
That's Giannis

>And let's not act like he's the gap between their defense is a s big as the gap between Jokics's and someone like Giannis.
It is. Jokic is one of the worst defenders in the league.

Shai is number 1 because voters are remembering that team record SHOULD matter, not statpadding while losing to the Wizards and Pistons.

Everyone's acting like the Nuggets are the seventh seed or some shit, they're not, if they win this game (which looks likely) they're going to be one win away from being the 3rd seed.
And remember what the award is called: Most VALUABLE player
If you take Shai out of OKC, they're still easily a top 5 team in the west. If you take Jokic outside of the Nuggets, they probably aren't even a top 8 team.
He, by definition, more valuable, while also averaging better numbers.

Jamal isn't even being serious in this game lmao

Reality is not relevant to faggot/nigger propagandists.
SGAy has the nigger card and fag card.

how did Dallas win the West last year?
They are trash

>>146682679
There's no skill involved in just eating luxury tax, it's just brute force. Boston acquired Porzingis because they just gave absolutely no fucks whatsoever about how much it was going to cost or how far over the cap they were. If Denver had as much cash to light on fire Jokic would have threepeated already

please god, let this be the beginning of Murray's return to form

>>146683476
>pistons barely over .500 you act like u own the league
lmao cant wait for this fraud to be exposed like Ant, Ja, and Hali.

Murray is RAPING the mavs

It feels great being an Orlando Magic fan: great record with our two All-stars out, no drama, team feels like a family, and we build properly by establishing our core through the draft. Tbh the Heat have done the same thing aside from Butler, and I think our influence has spread to our neighbors to the sout east. They see what we're cooking in Orlando, and the HEAT are saying to themselves: "let's be more like the Magic". Can't blame them.

>>146683560
Refs kicked out Nuggets and Okc was inexperienced in playoffs.

Very nice of Murray to increase his trade value on national television.

>>146683635
Murray felt the burn when his starting lineup position was in question.

KLAY WITH THE HUGE THREE

if Murry gon hoop then we must reevaluate the title race

>>146683635
Is there anything WestZOROASTER cannot do? We are blessed to watch him play basketball.

Isn't this a national broadcast? Is it ok to show rape on live tv?

>>146683576
Detroit Deuce owns those players just like he owns the Toronto Raptors. Smooth Criminal will treat Scotiabank like a day at the playground for the next 10 years. Who's gonna guard him? Scottie Barnes?

>Jokic is one of the worst defenders in the league.
maybe on planet retard

>>146681127
Wtf don't post gore this is a blue board man

>>146683687
Considering that even DJ numbers are goo , the answer is no.

>>146681127
can this lineup beat the process sixers?

>>146683452
>Jokic is one of the worst defenders in the league.
That is just not true. What the fuck? Do you not watch games?

>>146683722
man dont fall for that leaf shitposter's nonsense

Jamal finally got fed up with getting cucked by westbrook

>>146683512
>Everyone's acting like the Nuggets are the seventh seed or some shit, they're not, if they win this game (which looks likely) they're going to be one win away from being the 3rd seed.
Still a full 9 games down from OKC
>If you take Shai out of OKC, they're still easily a top 5 team in the west. If you take Jokic outside of the Nuggets, they probably aren't even a top 8 team. He, by definition, more valuable, while also averaging better numbers.

Over the past three years the Nugs are 9-14 without Jokic, OKC is 9-12 without Shai. Last season Nuggets were 2 - 1 without Jokic, while OKC was 2 - 5 without Shai. OKC only goes as far as Shai does, while Denver can go head to head with the Celtics for 3 quarters and beat the Clippers without Jokic. All of Jokic's "impact" is overly inflated by Booth's poor roster construction and DJ/Saric being unplayable, rather than Jokic actually being as good as Denver fanboys pretend he is.

Is letting Jamal score 32 worse than letting Air Bud score 32? At least he's literally got that dog in him.

>gentlemen and gentlewomens
it's ladies and gentlemen fuck

>>146683741
No point arguing with retards like you. Enjoy OKC crashing out within the first 2 rounds again because the refs aren't gonna fall for that foulbaiting nonsense from SGA during the playoffs

Wow you hardly notice it's not Ernie, Kenny, and Chuck.

>>146683741
He's not a good rim protector sure but defense isn't only about rim protection you dumbfuck. Nice job proving you don't watch games or don't know anything about the game.

MIGHT WIN A RING WITH NIKOLA WOOOAAAHHHHH

my prayer was answered, murray cookin

146683741
Nice essay fag.

Kek why does this leaf continue to seethe about Jokic in almost every single thread.

It's his thing, he's the Jokic hater. Me? i'm the Ben Simmons hater. Kinda boring nowadays.

>>146683741
>Over the past three years the Nugs are 9-14 without Jokic, OKC is 9-12 without Shai. Last season Nuggets were 2 - 1 without Jokic, while OKC was 2 - 5 without Shai.
so they're exactly the same but jokic plays more
the best ability is availability and jokic gets hurt less so he clears

>>146683756
>Enjoy OKC crashing out within the first 2 rounds again
So just like Denver when fatty gets shut down when he has to go against 2 7 footers? Will he give up another 20 point lead and go 2 - 10 again?

>>146683768
So what aspects at defense are he good at? Gambling for steals? Being slow in transition? He's objectively a terrible defender. with a worse D-EPM than even Luka.

>>146683794
>the best ability is availability and jokic gets hurt less so he clears
So Shai should clear this year since he's been more available and Denver has won without the statpadder, right?

I wouldn't be surprised if Dwight Howard got blacklisted from the league for completely shutting down Jokic in the bubble, hurting Adam Silver's push for the game amongst Euros. Too bad he couldn't foresee KAT, Rudy, and Naz Reid doing it again 4 years later.

Can someone please reply to me?

>>146683838
Are you the good or the bad leaf?

>>146683836
dwight got blacklisted for being a lil freaky

Klay should've stayed on the Warriors so all them washed niggas sail off into the sunset on a burning ship together

1 week away from the yearly reminder people used to compare these two

nah this leaf based as hell to me, canada gonna have an mvp again.

well done nuggies, however....

>same ad twice in a row at least 4 times today
>>146683771
i want to go back tf2bros

murray should try for 50 pts

>>146683854
Jokic is a nobody in a league with a healthy Embid. Outplayed by him in LITERALLY every game they play.

yea shai is mvp-most valuable pussy
hoe ass bitch

>>146683884
;:^)

just sit your starters, this shit is embarrassing

Kleber wins the HOESMAD award of the night for that foul on westZEUS.

BAWB almost killed WestMESSIAH

146683884
>healthy Embid.
Do you believe in santaclaus as well?

every time im excited for a game its a blowout.

>>146683874
It's still really fun to play, just shit that Valve fucking refuses to give us any real updates despite the fact that it's one of their most profitable games still

Jokic is a sissy bitch who got his back blown out by Marcus Morris. Nuff said.

>>146683902
crisp valve accountant who's seen their financials

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING

>>146683914
>>146683899
Embid is one of the saddest stories in league history. It's even worse since a mid player like Jokic's entire career is built upon what should've been Embid's. Imagine Jokic trying to go against that 2019 Raptors team, guarded by Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka. He would've been swept and been kicked back to the Euroleague

>>146683800
Besides rim protection he's pretty serviceable with other aspects. Calling him the worst defender is retarded as fuck.
Let me ask you this since you're a statfag. Where does Jokic rank this season in defensive rating? He's not the best but is he the worst?

The council of latinas is not happy with Braun's defense. At least pretend!

>>146683944
The latinas will like what Christian tells them to like.

OK guys enough kidding around let the VORPmeister take us home with his offense... you niggas are getting sloppy

>>146683944
Why did Braun become the latinas guy?

Just one more bucket you bum otherwise the leaf is a scholar
>captcha: P00PPN

>>146683960
they have a b2b against the Rockets and they're damn near up 30

>>146683937
He's in the middle of the pack, but by far the worst from the MVP candidates. The stats are flawed in his case though since he never plays without either Christian Braun, Payton Watson, or Aaron Gordon also in the game making up for his own awful defense, while they're own stats get brought down by having to play often with some combination of Julian Strawther (the worst defender on the nuggets), Jamal Murray, and Deandre Jordan; something Jokic never has to deal with.

I don't like Womby. He's making the game a joke.

Another trippy double secured
>>146683992
Ask and thou shall receive

>>146683811
They need another PG and center anyway, just ask Ben to do both.

WestDJOKOVIC giveth

>>146684005
and they're 8-0 in the second game of back to backs

apologize

>>146684030
nuggets and rockets better be good

>>146684029
Djokovic playin in Melbourne...

>>146684021
He be statpadding a bit otherwise he would already be out at 3 minutes mark in a blow out
>>146684038
They gonna get brutally destroyed by the rockets unfortunately

>>146684047
lmao dominAYTON

vorpgod make ya seethe

>>146684047
afernee bros...

>>146684047
I'm sorry you have Ayton.

keep being lazy and you fucks will play another quarter

>>146683854
embitch will never be in shape enough to play up in the air playing 40 games a season against shite teams

>>146684016
So he's not the worst then? You can shill your MVP all you fucking want but don't make up shit.

Gafford cuts the lead to 24!

>>146684047
nigga game himself a nickname and can't live up to it

>>146684107
>up in the air
up in the denver air

Nuggets did not take that quarter seriously at all and the Mavs still only won it 22-20 kek

>>146684047
scoot the type of player to give u 50pts if u give him enough time.

Mav should at least attempt to tire them out since they have another game tomorrow.

>>146684118
I said he's one of the worst, which he is.

niggas is pulling up advanced stats up in here

lebum says the lakers are shit and he's tradin everybody

>>146684145
You just said he's in the middle of the pack faggot. How is that worst in the league?

Murray giveth, Murray taketh away.

Nuggets just can't close a blow out game.

>>146684180
Because, as I told you, the stats lie due the lineups Jokic plays with. Good defenders are brought down to hide just how bad Jokic is.

You gotta give it to Rajesh, he gets BTFO every time but still pulls up night after night with his weak ass bait

Facts aren't bait. Facts don't care about your feelings.

>>146684209
So you draw the line on stats when it comes to Jokic but it's ok when it's SGA? Just shut the fuck up and watch the game.

>>146684134
Shit teams

You got your 40 let Westbrook farm too now.

>>146684209
as opposed to the canadian faggot getting carried by the number 1 rated defense

SGA got this MVP locked up

Now watch Murray lay an egg tomorrow.

Jamal "Saddam Hussein" Murray got his 72 virgins in the afterlife locked up

Murray trying to get 50 is giving me the ick.

>>146684406
lmao it's because it's kyrie again

>Shitmal prioritizing getting his 50 burger over being rested for tomorrow

Even when we win, we still lose

>Malone when Jokic one RA away from a tripdub
>Malone when MurBum wants to statpad
Drake.png

>>146684437
It's rare for him to have a good game since he's been shit all season. I have no problem with him going for it since it may never happen again.

Does Shedeur go to many Nuggets games?

>>146684437
This bum also couldn't break +20 rating in a monster game when other starters could. Such a losing player

When is Luka coming back bros

Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes, because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through

Crazy to think Nuggies went 110-90 in the non-Pickett minutes, they've come a long way

so is scoot starting to become good now?

>>146684395
Pat Riley is a dogshit gm, content with being a mid-tier team and hoping his best player carries his fraud roster and tricks people into believing they actually have a chance of winning it all

>>146684508
He's just senile

>murray cant even get 50
yeah he's washed

My nuggies finding their stride again :)

Looks like there's a lot of good white players in this upcoming draft, we finna eat good diversity bros.

mufuckin racist ass refs not letting Hunter Tyson ball

The Nuggets will be 2nd seed by the time the season is over

Nuggets would've won by 60 if they hadn't started load managing after the first half

Nutz can't tank lol

>>146684577
They have another game tomorrow.

Denver has had an atrocious defend this season overall and they are still likely going to take the second seed. If they lock on for the playoffs, they are a few defensive tweaks away from another chip.

>>146680388
looking forward to the impending new /nba/ earlyGOD thread

MURRGOD

>only 10 points for Jokic
and ppl call him a statpadder lol
he could've had 40 tonight if he wanted

>>146684659
AG has missed a lot of games.

Murbum gonna tweak his hamstring tomorrow because he try harded in a blowout tonight

>>146684739
Who is going to get sent to the bench now that he is back? Braun, Westbrook or Murray?
Was Murray's performance tonight a "please don't bench me" act? Malone should tell him he can keep on starting as long as he keeps on playing like that.

>>146684696
Nobody with a brain believes he’s a stat padder. Guy is 7ft tall, and a center. it’s a given he’s gonna get a bunch of rebounds. The assists are literally just him finding open players and making the correct play. Now when a 6ft 1 PG is pushing his own center out the way to grab a rebound, yea, that’s a bit stat paddy

What happened to bald players? Are the new guys on finasteride?

>>146684696
He prefers winning with a small triple double than going 40/15/8 and losing.

>>146684770
Malone would rather trade Jokic than bench Murray. It should be Murray and CB for Pwat

>>146684696
He's not just a statpadder, he's a lazy statpadder. His laziness won out today since Jamal was playing well.

kyrie was poo
4-18 FG
-17 +/-
XD

>>146684770
Yeah even though WB has been good, their playoff success is still dependent on Murray showing up. Hope he doesn't peak too early.

The game jokic had tonight is going to be what he averages when he’s 37. Still will be a walking triple double

>>146684770
Westbrook, Murray, CB, MPJ and Jokic starting 5 works against some teams. Against teams with a bigger pf and center AG would be much better than any of the 3 smaller ones.

146684796
Brainlet opinion.

>>146684856
eventually it'll be murray, westbrook, mpj, gordon, jokic with braun and watson leading the bench

You just know that nigga Alfred "VORP Junior" Shengooner had this game marked on his calendar. VORP needs to lock in like he did against Wembust and drop 40+ even if everybody else drops the ball or he'll look soft

I just remembered how that thug Jokic broke Scotty's face and took him out for 10 games this season with zero repercussion. dirt fucking loser.

You now remember Bronny

>>146679194
>Every time he would shoot, he'd go "muscles!"...

>>146685139
he will be lucky to get 10. The disrespect will be repaid

scoot henderson with 39pts

just need to raise my spirits

>>146684885
bench is fucked if that's the case.
braun and watson still need some vet guidance to be as productive as they are now.

>>146685170
Nutz can't tank lol, they tried but they can't fucking do anything right

>>146685253
there's no reason to tank this season. flagg has been productive for duke but there isn't much reason to think he will be anything but deandre ayton 2.0. might as well go out and be competitive each game to see what does and doesn't work

It's high time to discuss my Suns
