You’re calling Deron Williams trash?
He was mid
one of the better PG’s of that era
because he wasn’t putting up 25 a game with LeBron?
no he was just mid lol
ok buddy
Jamal Murray is worse now
Andrew Wiggins?
💀
Jrue is washed now
all those players got rings
And were second options
ok buddy
still more important than Deron Williams
Bringing that sorry Cavs team to the finals?
😭
Just to get swept
They were all close games..
east has always been weak since MJ
LeBron brings sorry teams on a easy path
KD was fighting the gaunlent to make it to the finals
Just to lose to Lebron
West is harder than the East
LeBron would have no Laker rings if it wasn’t for the bubble
Idc if they was the first seed
Literally forming one of the greatest teams in NBA history
delusional is remembering they never made it past the first round since
Bro traded his whole team for vets
Jump starting some of their careers

Stephen Curry is traveling to join the Warriors in Miami, and his status for Tuesday's game against the Heat depends on treatment response for his pelvic bruise over next two days, sources tell ESPN. Golden State is on game two of a six-game trip.

Franz lowkey owns the lakers
Cause he is
Fr 😂😂
Shai is not averaging mvp numbers
Shai is definitely averaging MVP numbers, but I think Jokic is the MVP. He's the best player in the NBA I'd argue. Without Shai, the Thunder would be like, a 5 or 6 seed. Without Jokic, the Nuggets would be trying to tank for Flagg
35 6 5 1 is not better compared to 29 12 10 1
Fr 😂😂
Shai is good but holy he’s a free throw merchant
Stuff like this only exposes your ball knowledge
God bless
u seen the hard foul from Kawhi on Shai
😭😭😭
hey if they're gonna call every foul for Shai you may as well foul him hard
I think the biggest problem with Shai is the way he goes about getting the free throws. When people talk about Shai's FT numbers, people love to point out guys like Kobe, who would average a ton of FTs as well. But the difference is that Kobe was always trying to score. There will be times in a game where Shai feels the slightest amount of contact, and he'll just immediately toss the ball in the direction of the basket and flail to try to get a foul call. It's just ugly basketball, from a guy who, when he gets to his spots in the midrange and such, has one of the smoothest and prettiest games in the league. I wouldn't go as far as to say I dislike him, it's not his fault that the refs call it all the time. He's just taking advantage of the system. But I would appreciate his game more if he wasn't just trying to get a foul every time down the floor.
The other frustrating part of it all is the way that OKC gets reffed on the other end of the floor. Often they're allowed to play incredibly physical without getting a lot of fouls called against them, with guys like Lu Dort damn near huggging guys and not getting called for it. And then Shai comes down and gets these ticky-tack fouls.
Once again if you watch his game you would notice you saying “trying to get a foul everytime down the floor” is just 100% false
And once again OKC is literally around bottom 8 in freethrows this season
I've watched a number of Thunder games this year. It's not an exageration to say that he's aiming to get a foul.
it is tho.
Yes. Shai gets nearly half of the team's free throws.
He aims to get the foul after multiple hand checks from his defender and his defender leaving his feet off his jumpshots
And he also averages 33 points per game.. and almost 40 for this month
But that's my point. He aims to get the foul. He's not aiming to make the shot, and happens to get fouled while doing so
I mean I would assume
And not only
Drives the most to the basketball
By far
Than anyone in the league
So yeah I would assume the person who drives the most to the basket would get more calls..
it’s been like that for years
Yeah I'm not arguing that he's efficient, and is a competent scorer
To say he doesn’t aim to score and aim for the foul is blatant lies
Joel embiid is one of few who that actually applies to
Okay, let me try to explain in a different way. Giannis similarly drives to the basket at one of the highest rates in the league. But I wouldn't say that Giannis is foul baiting, because of the way he goes about it
I agree about Embiid
Giannis also has no jump shot so it’s easier to defend in a way
Sga has a deep mid range so defenders leave their feet
Giannis has actually developed an incredibly efficient midrange game this year, surprisingly
And sga is taking advantage of that like any great scorer
It’s nothing defenses are worried about
No where near as dangerous as sga
He’s not comparable
Look at Giannis's FG% from 10ft to the 3pt line. I'm not gonna argue he's as good of a midrange shooter as Shai, but comparing it to his previous seasons, he's become a lot better from the midrange.
Defenses should 100% be worried about it if he is able to continue to improve in that area, even if they're not worried about it yet
Def but where are the attempts also
You can see % of FGA by distance. He's shooting more from that midrange area than he has in the past as well
from about 15% of his shots last year to nearly 30% of his shots this year
He didn’t touch him.
Its an improvement but its still nothing I think anyone is really scared of
I think most team still live with giannis shooting mid range all game then paint mashing
But the point isn't about Giannis's midrange game. It's that Giannis drives to the basket in a similar manner to young Shaq, in that he goes in physically, takes the contact, and when he gets fouled, he's not flailing around
fr
Just how okc let jokic shoot 10 threes despite having one of his most efficient 3 shooting this year
Shai will literally make the most egregious facial expressions and his arms will go all over to try to exagerate the contact
Once again sga mainly “foul baits” for his jump shot mid ranges
yeah literally
Tabum*
I mean
Ant does it
it really is tho
Everyone does that
You cannot actually watch basetkball games if you say this
Tatum has one of the worst whistles of any superstar in the league. He will get a T for the most benign instances of showing emotion.
But that's besides the point. SGA is clearly the worst example of trying to get fouls
everytime u turn on the tv he’s on the line
😭🥀
Rage baiting
genuinely turned on a Thunder game the other night and you know what I saw
it's just funny at this point but like
The point isn’t how good of a whistle or anything it’s the fact everyone exaggerates
I don't think he'll get those calls in the playoffs
Luka literally gets praised all the time
Curry has a bad whistle too
So where’s this energy for him
he doesn’t shoot 10+ a game
🥀🥀
Luka isn’t even going for the whistle now tbh
he’s been a pure scorer
Lmaoooo
Pure scorer
Been averaging literally almost 10 freethrows on the lakers tho
I mean
If this is not pure bias
Idk what is
Please stop talking ball if you aren’t even trying to be realistic
Giannis does not exaggerate. Tatum does not exaggerate. Curry does not exaggerate. *(For the most part. You can find cherry picked examples for all of these players, but on the whole, the foul calls they get do not mirror what Shai gets)
Luka 100% does. Embiid 100% does. There's a few others who do too, Jamal Murray, Jalen Brunson, Trae on occasion. There's a certain amount of basketball that is trying to force your defender to foul you. I can't argue with that. But it's the visual of these players mentioned above that makes the difference
Luka has a slow game
easy foul calls
😂😂😂😂 fam do you actually watch basketball games
yessss
Did you seriously say Tatum doesn’t exaggerate
I didn’t finish reading
But you can’t genuinely be serious
Curry doesn’t yea
shai gigeous Alexander
And giannis exaggerates also but it’s easier to blend in when you are taking majority of layups
You have to foul Giannis to stop him
🥀🥀
Once again the time shai “foul baits” it’s on mid range jumpshots majority of the time
he always goes to the middle
usually left corner
baits the foul
literally so many clips of the same spot
🥀🥀
Once again majority of the time the defender is hand checking or leaving their feet off a pump fake
And you know why they are doing that
Cause they cannot guard him
The fact that even his peers are giving him his props but fans are sitting bashing him is enough to say
his team just glazes him 😭
He doesn’t even want to make the shot
he literally chucks it as they jump
That’s literally just false
always gets the whistle
it is a majority
You can find clips of every star doing that
1 is winning games against contenders
The other is getting swept by the wizards in regular season
I think it’s levels
Yeah it’s 2-0
🥀🥀
shai’s whistle is strong
Sga is literally averaging less freethrows than majority of mvps ever
But ok
It’s literally statistic behind this
Yup mvp is just about stats 👏🏾
Jokic triple double 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 mvp mvp
Can I ask you a question
@distant spoke who deserved mvp last year jokic or Luka
MVP is literally a individual person
not the team
🥀🥀
they still don’t have voters fatigue with Jokic
they did with Bron
Luka played less games
are we acting like games don’t have a factor in this
Jokic was injured
shai is poo
lmaoio
🥀 🥀
got em
I think you do
talking about how he should be mvp doesn't corrlate to glazing
ironic
says the mvp badge in the discord
saying I talk to much
the irony man
glaze glaze glaze
u said he’s not a foul baiter
its ok I think its time for you to take a break from discord fam
what’s discord
God bless you fam
ah yes the hard foul from Kawhi
he touched the air
still got the whistle
IG it’s a foul
🥀🥀
wow I guess you can't find a bad call from every superstar
woww
so crazy
sga you stupid foul baiter omg
nope
Marco Bellinelli 🥀🥀
YE bully album omg 🔥🔥🔥🔥
?
too easy
Mavericks star Anthony Davis – out since Feb. 8 with adductor strain – will return tonight against the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN.
Davis pushed hard in his rehab to make a comeback to the floor with Dallas late this season – even as the Mavericks sit in 11th in the West, tied with Suns at 34-37 entering tonight's game in Brooklyn.

playoff bucks in full stride already🙏🏻
im genuinely not surprised anymore
its the same injury that made chris bosh retire, but that was in his lungs so lets hope it aint as bad
Okc will win championship 2025 predict finals?
The celtics
Current odds to land 1st overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery:
Wizards: 14%
Jazz: 14%
Hornets: 14%
Pelicans: 12.5%
Sixers: 9.8%
Nets: 9.7%
Raptors: 7.5%
Heat: 6%
Bulls: 4.5%
Spurs: 3%
Blazers: 2%
Rockets (via Suns): 1.5%
Kings: 0.5%
Who everyone think wins Coop
let the raptors take em
Curry out warriors r cooked
Nah I don't think so
Wizards
You know what
I asked you a question in your dm@charred storm
Please the Hornets
they need something to go right
Maybe Hornets or wizards
Do anyone use pp for betting on here?
nah fr lmao
And then they also draft horribly so often
MKG, Adam Morrison, etc
Adam Morrison wasn't entirely their fault, as everyone thought he'd be the next Larry Bird but
they need some good luck to have an easy pick in Flagg and for everything to go well
MKG they had it coming for them
"we can fix his offense"
like bro just look at his jumper 💀
yeah just disappointing picks
I mean even more recently they drafted James Bouknight in the first round with the 11th pick in a draft that still contained Sengun, Trey Murphy, Jalen Johnson, Cam Thomas, Quentin Grimes, Santi Aldama, etc
at least they got it right once, drafting lamello
Sengun would have been game changing
if GSW had drafted Lamelo they would've taken Wiseman knowing them
but yeah Sengun would've been incredible for the Hornets
im still salty about wiseman tbh
they would have an actual competitive team right now if Lamelo is healthy
should just tank
tbh
I mean yeah Wiseman is like Jabari Parker or similar guys who were good in college, but it's hard to predict if they'll be good in the NBA
kwame
yeah the Hornets are definitely tanking for Flagg right now
yeah another good example
But if the Hornets can get Flagg that'd be so massive
hopefully Flagg isnt one of those examples
Lamelo, Brandon Miller, Flagg, Miles Bridges, and Mark Williams
with Tre Mann, Nick Smith Jr, Josh Green, etc off the bench. I'd like better backup forwards/bigs than Grant Williams, Jusef Nurkic, and a 39 year old Taj Gibson
But yeah they could win a playoff series
Only thing im concerned about is mello's efficiency in a play off series
he needs to lock tf in if he wanna be contenders
Yeah definitely, I think it'd help having Flagg though as another offensive option so Lamelo doesn't have to be the sole creator
especially as Brandon Miller improves as well
i think since hornets is tanking rn, lamello is playing while joking around
thats why his FG% is so low
i wanna see when he actually be a lil bit picky about his shots
He already averaging 20ppg
solid 2nd option
just wait till he recovers
(dont mind the fact his FG% is also low)
yeah I think his efficiency will improve as he gets more time healthy with the team
Flagg with wizards would be a death sentence
poole + kuzma + sarr + Flagg aint winning shi
oh wait did i say kuzma
😭
