>>146774560
Dude that 2025 pick from Philly probably won’t convert, it’s top 7 protected and the Sixers are so shit. OKC probably won’t trade it anyways.

This game reminded me that I’m old as fuck and been here for more than a decade.

OG Anunoby last 25 games:

14 PPG
44% FG
31% 3pt

If he’s healthy Knicks go to the finals

>>146775160
Spurs will be a dynasty once Wemby gets help (which the spurs will provide him) the Heat I don’t know. Solid playoff team maybe a finals peak like ‘20 and ‘23 but they don’t have playoff Jimmy like they did before

>>146775351
The Heat need to restructure their whole team. Everyone except Herro and Ware are trash and Jimmy clearly plays uninterested.

Fuck draymond

>>146775415
When Jimmy walks they will have 50 mill in cap space to work with.

>>146775490
Can they seriously get no assets for him?

digits from 1-30, 31-60, and 61-90 all correspond to an nba team from an alphabetical list, and im moving to the city that the franchise is based in. im fucking sick of missing 90% of games because i live in a rancid shithole

>>146775436
theres a alternative timeline where the warriors traded draymond instead of poole, i wonder how that timeline turned out

>>146775571
they don’t have to. clippers let PG walk and it worked out for them. Heat will have cap space to re tool. Herro should be an all nba caliber player next year. bam isn’t as bad as people claim him to be just the Spo has to play him in a weird way since we are starting a 6’4 Haywood Highsmith at the 4.

Teams finally figured out if you triple team Herro everytime you have to rely on Bam, Jimmy or Rozier to miss to win and they do miss 80% of the time.

>>146775223
thibs gonna grind this man down to the dust

>>146775616
They’d probably win the west this year. Maybe last year.

>>146775648
I will never forgive him for what he did to rose.

>>146775571

i can finally fulfil my dream of larping as a king of the hill character, but ill have to deal with the mavericks front office being as fucking incompetent as they are. could be worse i guess
>>146775776
its mostly projection. shaqs mad about the fact that kobe is infinitely more respected/looked up to by players which is why he keeps trying to lil bro players in interviews thinking that theyll go "im gonna prove you wrong, just watch me!!!". the donovan mitchell case is probably the best example of how corny he can be

>>146775929
also you can tell that he never actually watches games, because everytime he gets players mixed up or puts out a stupid take he immediately says "i got 4 rings, i know more than you" rather than trying to explain his arguments. its kinda embarrassing desu

>>146775929
Shaq is butthurt because no one includes him in GOAT convos and shaq could have been the GOAT had he had a bit of work ethic

>>146775652
depends on what big they get desu

>Spoelstra gets desperate enough to put Bam at PF and 7 foot Ware at C
>13-2 run
Almost like that's what he should've been doing this entire time.

PipGOD cooked with this one

Ware could be ROTY if Spo started him.

>>146775776
Shaq was seething about rudys contract like it affects him in any way

Surely Denver doesn't lose to injured Magic with fully healthy squad

>>146776106
They can get Vuc from the bulls probably

At least the hotdogs are cheap now

Now a Bam poster. Spursbros you can't be letting them do you like this.

why don't chris paul and wemby just spam the pick and roll and easily crush everyone

Bam and Ware in 3 years (Ware will just go back to warming the bench next game)

>>146777521
There's no reason he and Bam can't start together.

>>146774981
Whiteside is so op on 2K25

CP0 with a HUGE 3 to cut the lead to 24

>scary Terry back to missing lay-ups
Alright I've seen enough Heat blow this lead.

What is this play called?

>>146775928
Sometimes is understating it. I'd go with "more often than not."

Although the NFL is going full retard with the Mahomes shit so the gap is less than it used to be

Inceltic media really got tiktok banned and then unbanned after they wiped the internet of Tatum's missed game winning shot. How are they allowed to do this so blatantly?

Wembussy is getting exposed bigly. Owned by Duncan Robinson and a rookie

How does tatum still not have an actual nickname in 2025? cant think of a star that doesnt have one besides him. “The anomaly” sum ybg don shyt i had to cringe when i saw it

He's artificial. Nobody actually cares about him personality wise and he's carried by refs and magnets.

>>146777154
Do they ever not?

>>146778380
Hes too bland to get a nickname. Even harden, whos bland personality wise managed to get "the beard" done. Theres nothing that stands out about tatum. Juat nothing. Hes not even the third most notable guy. Brown is a known retard, porzingis is tingus pingus and derrick white is ugly as fuck. Tatum has nothing

your inceltics play checkers and draft 3 and D wings to win an *, my heat play chess and draft a 3 and D 7 foot forward to win championships

>>146778380
u have to be special to get a nickname not be a guy on a stacked team

Daily reminder that the Hawks ARE better than your favorite team. They have the third best record in the NBA when healthy. Trae Young Is the best PG in today's NBA. He is Steve Nash with scoring. Get fucked, shills. They will fourth seed by the end of the season(would be 3rd or 2nd if they can stay healthy)

Ware

>25 points
>2 blocks

Wemby

>21 points
>1 block

>>146778649
Trae is a system bab under Quin

>>146778727
Are you fucking stupid? What about when Trae was averaging 30/9 under Nate McMillan, chud?

>>146778556
People call harden The System sometimes now because he dropped this hard asf bar

Maybe tatum needs to brainstorm a hard line to say to get a nickname. But harden wasnt trying to get people to call him the system so thats why it was hard in the first place he just said it casually. Tatum tends to copy lines like KG’s anything possible and Kanye i guess we never know and it comes across as tryhard. It’s possible that Tatum says something hard some day accidentally but he has to stop trying to say something hard in order for it to actually be hard u feel me ..

>>146778821
Yeah it needs to be natural. That we did it shit when he won the title...so fucking lame dawg

>>146778875
Is that an edit over the dude who killed himself

>>146778893
Gaytum never won a title.

I hope Ware can become really good so we can see more 7 foot vs 7 foot kino in the future.

>>146778761
And how did that go in the playoffs? Trae got figured out so they fired nate and brought in quinn, dumbass.

>>146778941
Yeah it is.

>>146778380
Does Luka actually have a nickname?
'Luka Magic' is more of a catchy thing for highlight moments

>>146779162
Sometimes the don and wonder boy or devins daddy

>>146779162
Yea luka magic more like his dame time. But tatum doesnt have one of those catchphrases associated with him either. Maybe boston commentators are just ass…

>>146779424
Nice of Curry to go visit the people who make his shoes, you don't see a lot of such commitment these days

Even a role player like reggie jackson got a nickname. And a pretty good one, big gvnrment

KD still deserves bullying for wanting to be the servant.

He won't, so there's nothing to worry about

>>146778649
>He is Steve Nash with scoring

Gay Dung is nowhere near the level of the two-tme league MVP and top 75 player Steve Nash
He is a brick machine who averages 4 turnovers per game while playing in the easiest era of all time

1st quarter done and the big vorp is already at 12/7. Hes without equal

based NugGODS playing every game on hardmode with this horrendous perimeter defense

>>146781142
Didn't KCP called the Nuggies out when he went to Orlando by saying that he is happy he is finally in a team that everyone enjoys defense?
Kind of a dick thing to say honestly since you won a championship with this team two years ago

Denver sucks

>>146781809
Wendell has historically owned jokic for some reason. Its like Müller shitting on Messi despite the latter being far ahead as a player

>>146781794
Can't blame him. If the lack of defense is this frustrating as a fan, imagine how it must feel as a defensive-minded person on the team

>>146774560

Scored the jumpers and one hard layup.

>>146778821
it's not just the fact that it's a coordinated effort by the celtics media team but it's also that since they started shilling that name he's gotten cucked multiple times
like when he bricked a dunk and begged the refs for the superstar bailout whistle
or when he just missed two game winners in one game
git gud then the nickname will come

>>146781794
Why do you faggots ask questions you already know the answer to?

>people calling Kel'el Ware "Warewolf"
Ain't no way he has a nickname before Gaytum.

Magic are probably the team that gets away with fouling Jokic the most
Don't think any other team comes close with this
Probably because of their "play hard" reputation

MPJ has been playing like somebody who's 100% ready to be traded. Butleresque

WestGOD having a vintage game tonight. Goofy ass turnovers but making up for it by outhustling everybody

>>146783054
should be scrotum desu

>>146783777
This mans legacy is coining the term goonicide...still better than tatums

paolo stinker?

Imagine if anyone else besides Jokic could catch WESTGOD bullet passes, Half of his turnovers come from his teammates having shit hands compared to Jokic

Franz will be back for the Magic game in Feb. Magic are a whole different team with Franz, they're actually good with him. When Paolo was out before Franz got injured the Magic were still dominating and beating pretty much everyone, now that Franz is out and Paolo is back the Magic are still mid.

>>146785539
Thats not only due to longevity, Harden is 4th all time in turnovers per game

James Harden set the single season record for turnover during the 2015-16 season with 374 and then broke his own record the next season with a massive score of 464, he played 81 games that year and averaged over 5.7 turnovers a game

>>146785811

start IT ...

garbage time.
give junior some stats

Lakers are complete shit with LeBron dragging them down in order to maintain his statpadding meanwhile Russ is willing to let his numbers dip by being the 2nd/3rd man in order to be a major contributor towards a top 4 seeded contender
He was NEVER the problem

>Lakestink
Where my ladyboy at?

Lakescam can only win if they lead by 1st half, otherwise it'll be an embarrassment

Am I right to think Christian Brauns stock is only getting higher from here? He's evolved as a player pretty well and has Jokic Westbrook and AG to help him improve his game.

>>146785402
Please spare sometime to learn the fundamentals

Lakers only beat tanking teams and bottom feeders, which is who they magically seem to be always playing against every other game

>>146790171
he's always been a better shooter than KCP (and now also has better 3pt% than current KCP), fits more with the transition tactic Nuggets are pursuing now (along with the addition of Westbrook), it's his defensive part that still need more development but he's definitely better on the physical part than KCP's last playoff (dude's really not great defending a stronger guard)

>>146790322
Maybe they'll try make him a mix of Gordon and Murray. He has a real decent jump too, hits a lot of sick dunks.

>>146790171
yes he will be elevated to all-star by the time he's 27. he's learning from the best, he's a fucking dawg, and he already has his ring as a great 7th man.

light the beam baby

>>146788480
Jordan would never

Calling it now, since Murray came out to speak on his recent max extension and what is now expected of him, the Nuggets have gone from contenders to pre-dynasty. Jokic is 29, Murray is 27, MPJ is 26, Gordon is 29, Braun is 23, Watson is 22, and Strawther is 22 and everyone has developed 120% since last season. Jokic now hits 3s, MPJ now attacks the rim, Murray is playing more consistent, Gordon is comfortable playing off the bench, Braun is comfortable as -the- 3 and D dawg, Watson is providing above average rim protection, etc etc.

Now as for Westbrook, he has been the vet voice in all of this. He's played against all of the current greats, he knows the lay of the land and he's also playing humble surrounded by a proven team, but he's also added a thick layer of sweet BBIQ on top of what the Nuggets already have. If they win this year, he might stick with them again next year to try and repeat and then retire on a high note, and I could see Jokic petitioning for another vet who wants to win it all for a low contract.

Captcha: SGA lmao

>>146790660
Wonder what lit the fire under Murray's ass? He's looked a lot better in the last few games. If it's not just a hot streak the nuggets are easily in conversations for the chip

>>146790712
He probably logged into reddit or any one of the NBA forums who were talking about he is washed or overpaid or a fraud or whatever. People talk about his contract like he's Ben Simmons

That being said. Murray if you're reading this I believe in you! You're a fucking dawg and you've already got your ring and now it's time to get more!

>>146788708
Dude talks like a xbox live player from back in the day

>>146790660
>Murray is playing more consistent
He's had 4 good games in a row after he played like shit/mediocre the first 6 games of the month lets calm it down a bit

>>146790735
He's been playing through an injury iirc. The "good" thing about all the injuries/absences on the nuggets lately has been letting guys like strawther start at least. Big hopes for him

>>146790799
That's why I said 'Calling it now' rather than 'I'm a time traveler plz believe me'

Murray's confidence is elevated by his bank account, just watch

>>146790712
Murray knows he's wrong but sometimes thats not enough

>>146790660
They haven't gone against a single good team since Houston, even calling them contenders is laughable. Nuggets aren't beating the Clippers, Twolves, Houston, Memphis, Dallas, or OKC in a 7 game series. I have series doubts they even beat the Lakers this year since Dlo is no longer around playing for the other team.

Nuggets have the 2 best contracts in the league with Russ and Braun. So no excuses for Jokic this season

>>146790949
Classic LeBrick

>>146790496
It would be hilarious if Braun ends up being the first All-Star that Jokic will play with in his career even though there are two other max players on the Nuggets

>>146790660
>>146790712
i'd think with Murray missing on average 20 games each per season after his ACL injury, he preferred to take it easy in the first half of the season. now he only missed 7 games so far

>>146791008
i think murray will stay consistent and be an all star next year. mpj also deserves it but he's a 3 and dunk role player at this point though he's getting paid

>>146790369
i've always been a Braun truther heh

>>146790949
>cant even lay it up from directly under the rim and a missed block
LeWashed

>>146791042
Honestly it could really help the Nuggets if they traded him to add a few key players for the team.

MPJ is absolute trash in the playoffs, only plays good against the Lakers because they are ass.
In the Finals he shot like 16% from 3 which is his only skill basically and Malone was forced to play Braun and Brown all the time
Last year he averaged 10 points against the Wolves...seriously he is not worth all that money

What if they could find a viable second option for the 5 so Jokic can rest and not play 40 minutes every game? That and a dawg defender that can shoot around 40% from 3 in the playoffs are worth more than what MPJ can give you.Get rid of Nnaji too while you are at it and maybe get something for the bench

>>146789453
another exquisite chess maneuver from leGM

>>146790888
I know this is bait but the clippers would NOT

>>146791202
they've all grown. it's a different team right now and they are in the middle of bringing it all together

>>146791289
If they load manage Kawhi for the rest of the season and keep him healthy enough, 100% they do. Nobody is stopping Kawhi, nobody is stopping Harden, and nobody on the Nuggets has shown so far that they can stop Norm. Add in Russ getting CTE like he does every playoffs, and Clips take them in 6 or 7

>>146791332
It hasn't even been a year since they lost to the Wolves....and you can't really outgrow a weak mind. You either have it or you don't

>>146790949
Hard to watch

>>146787043
fax maxey needs to be free from emsneed, and siakam needs to leave pacers

>>146790966
they just gonna say murray is a terrorist if they lose again

>>146791378
Kawhi staying healthy is like embiid staying healthy

>>146791378
Kawhi is washed up, Harden always folds. Beyond that, it's just a bunch of mid players

>>146791551
It's about the same likelyhood as Murray staying healthy desu. All it takes is one game for him to be Divincenzo'd again.

beWAREEEEEEEE

>>146785098
lol

>afternoon rockets basketball tomorrow

lets go boys

>>146791570
>>146791570
2024-25 clippers are the 2018-19 raptors. defense, shot creation, passing, scoring, well-coached, and a couple go-to guys in Kawhi, Norm, and god forbid Harden in the yoffs. Zu is elite big man and you need a guy like him in the yoffs.

>>146792001
also they have goat life which is a weapon the raps did not have

dont really get the brett brown hate
he did more with less than the most recent two coaches

>>146792001
And Kawhi is washed up, not 2019 'whi

>>146792001
Zubac's a beast but he aint no Gasol or Ibaka. They're gonna have a hard time in the paint aginst top centers like Jokic

>>146792069
Jokic will get his no matter what. Won't matter if the rest of the team is shut down, not to mention Jokic himself can't guard any decent scoring center.

>>146792091
Jokic cant guard anyone

>>146792001
nigga stop. I don't respect the leafs that much but 19 was a squad. Pre-washed Lowry, Danny Green, Spinny P, Gasol, Fred, Powel, Serge, and kawhi. That was a damn good team and we were robbed of a legit finals matchup

2019 Raptors would be a top 10 team of all time if OG played.

>>146792091
Clips cant guard anyone

Kawhi has spent the last 5 years of his career scamming the NBA and it worked so well that people forgot about the concept of time. It has been 5 years, and he's washed the fuck up now

>>146792282
i blame the covid desu

>>146792270
They have the second best defense in the league right now after OKC

>>146792282
He just scored 19 points in 24 minutes last game

Reminder that the moron posting behing the leaf flag (not the chill other anons) is some paki or such 95iq tard.


>>146784966
This should be all wins. 100% winrate.
13/13.
>>146780661
>the process has no nickname

>>146792282
6 years is an entire NBA rookie scale max contract + halfway through a max extension. the last time Kawhi was that guy was before Zion, RJ Barrett, Anthony Edwards, Scottie Barnes, Jalen Green, Sengun, Cade, and Paolo even played 1 game in the NBA. the last time Kawhi was that guy was two presidential elections ago. Kawhi was in his 20s, not his mid 30s, when that run happened

>>146792292
Scam regular season defense by tryharding scrubs. Also the Harden effect is coming into play, he's a huge regular season average skewer

>>146792313
>he's a huge regular season average skewer
So is Westbrook but Nugget fans seem to think he's unbricked himself.
Harden is also the least important player on the team to their defense.

>>146792292
Zu is one of the best defenders in the NBA. also Ty Lue likes switch-heavy schemes and this roster is built for that

>>146792303
Literally just go to his bball ref page and you can see what a fucking disaster it is. He finally washed the fuck up, and at the worst possible time too. He finally has a non-fraud time team for the first time in his Clips history, but it's all for nothing cause he's old and washed the fuck up now.

>>146792307
>two presidential elections ago
go to bed, bill

Eat shit lying mapplenigger.

>>146792494
See, this is how stats can be misleading. Everyone knows Jokic is a traffic cone on defense and gets targeted constantly for free layups.

146792634
>everybody knows
Faggots, niggers, casuals, highlights watchers, espn narrative pushers, etc. are not everybody.
True ballers, ogs, enthusiasts, fans that watch basketball, pros, etc. know why Wemby has half his avarages when playing against Jokic, how some bigs just so happen to end gsmes with 2-9 and a few rebounds, why AD is good one game than disapears agaibst Jokic, why only bigs like Jerret Allen can score 20 or more and win...
And another thing about those stats, Embiid played half the games in those 4 years, Gobert played half the minutes(and with KAT or Naz Reid by his side) and AD is touted to be so great of a defender...

>>146792634
?? no? he has a lot of games of getting steals. he tells teammates waht to do on defense. he pushed AG or MPJ or somebody in the back to get them in position and it worked. he's smart, he knows the plays, he's big, quick, has good hands. he picks up 3+ steals more than people think. and yeah just being physically big (he's bigger than other centers in person) and good reflexes makes him passable. have you ever tried getting a layup on a guy that big? he's too damn big. he stays flat-footed, so guards and taller players who can dribble get him and he doesnt contest, but everything results in being a net positive on defense. he will also switch on p&rs against certain matchups and he can funnel the ball where he wants them to go

>>146792634
>>146792950
>>146792954
https://youtu.be/-sGY_tcuzTs?si=hEGYA4LMcCQr__xp

https://youtu.be/oIDxJFihKPQ?si=jMWhzgrDyZ6CwsWi

https://youtu.be/aHnxozF0LsM?si=4rNaL-jZ4_RFx8SJ
watch how he uses his positioning and body to contain the ball handler despite not even "guarding" the ball handler

he would get subbed out on defense for being flat-footed, and he's not a perfect defender, but he's not what his reputation says he is

My sides

>>146792950
>True ballers, ogs, enthusiasts, fans that watch basketball, pros, etc. know why Wemby has half his avarages when playing against Jokic,
Because Wembust focuses to hard on trying to guard him and tires himself out like a bitch
>why AD is good one game than disapears agaibst Jokic
You don't watch game nigga. AG is the one that guards AD. Any time Jokic gets switched on to him, Jokic gets cooked

>>146792954
>>146792987
Don't care. Try actually watching games sometime. knowing plays and setting up his teamates to better cover his own weaknesses means nothing. He gets cooked by literally everyone. Mid centers like Jakob Poetl and Valanciunas score 20+ whenever they go up against him.

the NBA draft should go #60-#1 to build hype and drama

146793009
And the win ratio in those games without Dwight Howard abd Javake McGee?
13 to 1?
>AG guards AD
The talk is about defence capability.
The magical dpoy and dpoy candidates are just 5 and 3 points better than Jokic drtg and Embiitvh is 3 points worse and smack dead average defender.

And as you mentioned others on the team, SGAy has best defensive players aroubd him in the league, its much eadier to be "goid defender" when you have 4 other elite defenders with you on court.
Nuggets best perimiter defender is now on Orlando magic team and apart from CB and AG when he is playing theres only Payton Watson.
Jokic can be on court with Murray, Mpj, Strawther and CB.

Fags like you get beaten til you shit yourself, because you are a rude lying dishonest fag animal. You need a beating like the desert needs the rain.

Trend among western globohomo. Enshittification squeezes the value and forgets what created the value in the first place. It's like a burger place being popular because of their special burger sauce, so to capitalize on the sauce, they stop serving burgers and just serve sauce on a plate and charge full price. This min-maxing of society isn't just financial; it's also true of hobbies, interests, and basketball. Aside from roster construction and league revenue, basketball productivity and player stardom is becoming enshittified too. It's the same thing in graphic design, fashion, music, all of it, and I don't mean the money, I mean the actual contents. It's all min-maxed to shit and we're chasing results, not what produced those results in the first place. When you do finally look at the financial side of it, it's a shitshow too. Video games are min-maxed to shit now. Real life is min-maxed now too.

Howard was the one locking down Jokic. AD had those stats with Howard and Javale

stop replying to Canadians.They do not possess the intelligence and brainpower required to discuss basketball. The only thing you will see from them are chimp like screeches as they seethe about good players. DO NOT engage with these monkeys

jokic stinks lol

i thought canada invented basketball

>>146795089
jokic just won 3 of the last 4 MVPs and he might win another one. he currently is #3 in PPG, #3 in RPG, and #2 in APG. Denver won the title in 2023 because of Jokic and he won Finals MVP. a retard like you will say they played 3 play-in teams and it's not a real ring, but if you actually watched the game, you would have seen that Denver was deserving. he also doesnt really sit out games and always plays. he was dragging Austin Rivers, Facundo Campazzo, and JaMychal Green to the second round of the playoffs. you are a retard if you seriously think this. he's the best player in the nba and he has been for a while

>>146795179

>He was dragging Austin Rivers, Facundo Campazzo, and JaMychal Green to the second round of the playoffs.
He had aaron gordon and MPJ in 2021 where they were swept, and couldn't make it out of the first round the year after. They wouldn't have even made it out of the first round the championship year if Naz Reid was playing.

>>146795253
it's a team sport, fucking retard. they were only there because of Jokic. take him off the team and they're a lottery team. fucking retard. this isn't the gotcha you think it is
