NBA Playoffs thread - Scientists unite

[Sweater of AV]

I’m not angry I’m just son-ing you, catch.

Yeah, you sure don't sound angry. You just keep saying it's stupid to reply to me while continuing to reply. Lmao.

You sure you didn't forget to write "rizz" and "cap" in whatever that Gen Z nonsense is supposed to be?



Let's see if wildcan responds....

It's kind of humorous that there are people who think Steven Adams is some kind of unicorn that magically fell out of the sky. Makes you think about just how badly prime 90s Shaq dominates today's game with so few genuine big men.

55-30-11 sounds about right with teams loading up on bigs again just to eat fouls.

Healthy Kawhi is a top 10 player all time.

lmao @ urry

Lmao.

It's time for the league to go back to its glory days instead of a bunch of cans jacking up 100 threes a game and still shooting a lower percentage than the 90s.

You can thank sports outlets like ESPN who dick ride LeBron and the Lakers 24/7, and have for years. It makes people want to see the demise of that particular franchise and Lebron in general. I mean its severe, the Lakers are the basketball equivalent of the Dallas Cowboys. Those two teams make up about 80% of the topics on ESPN, all year every year. Hell, half the network was hailing the Lakers to be a title threat despite the fact they obviously had no bench and didn't even have a legitimate Center. You throw Leroid on top of that shit pyre and yea, there is going to be some haters when they lose in the first round.

I too hate ESPN whose whole modus operandi is to nutlick the biggest stars on the biggest franchises around the league all the time. But I think people should be measured in their criticisms of the player (I don't think Lebron controls the ESPN war room on how they formulate plans to get the most viewership), and even if you don't think he's the GOAT (I think I put myself in that camp, but don't care to argue about the hypothetical) it's nice to show some base appreciation for an all-time talent. I mean, I can't think of 5 players that were better than him at this age, so trashing him because he hasn't had team success at this age, despite overall well above average individual contribution is just toxicity IMO.

Nugs are going to need Jimmy Clutch to hit some big shots tonight.

Future starts now.

Good riddance to this era.

Aside from coming within a Chris Paul hamstring of winning the championship in 2018 (shit still hurts), it's been mostly crap for my Rockets.

Ready for Alpi and Amen to dominate.

 

[Prex32]

rockets can win, but fleets gonna have to have another stellar game

You are probably right, but there are circumstances you might not take account of, like how many years people have had to learn to hate him lol. Or maybe you aren't taking into account that Jordan probably has the largest fan base in basketball history, he was a worldwide phenom. The very moment LeBron said he was the GOAT, every Jordan fan on the planet turned against him. I personally know several people that say they had no problem with LeBron until he started saying he was the GOAT. My point being, there are reasons why a lot of people don't like this guy. Some even believe he has done more to harm basketball than any player in history and yes, there are plenty of videos detailing the reasons.

What a dumb challenge in a game 7.

 

[Croaker]

Friendly/rigged for the Thuggets. No way that was a loose ball foul.
