I genuinely donāt know how people can say pacers in 4
This is a next level delusion
The pacers arenāt even going to win
i doubt it's even gonna go to 6 lol
pacers fans rn:š¤
Exactly it should of already been 2-0 okc
For an aging superstar who isn't always healthy š
Wait u meant AD nvm š
Yes dude, but trading a great point guard who along side kyrie and the others that carried the Franchise to a finals appearance is diabolical
I'm surprised he didn't agree for too much for Luka
Not getting Reaves was wild thought he traded kyrie tbh
Ayy man Reaves should've performed better in the playoffs but JJ learned not to play his starting 5 40+ min a game excluding Hayes

Two significant front-office hires for the Hawks and Saleh. Graham started as an intern in New Orleans, rose to the GM role, and leaves after 15 years with the Pelicans.Ā Dinwiddie has worked in the 76ers front office since 2020 after 14 seasons with the Indiana Pacers.
.
ESPN story on the Atlanta Hawks and new GM Onsi Saleh making two major front office moves, hiring away New Orleans Pelicans GM Bryson Graham and Philadelphia 76ers executive VP Peter Dinwiddie: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45479637/sources-hawks-adding-pelicans-gm-76ers-exec-front-office
34 POINTS.
8 ASSISTS.
THUNDER DUB.
Relive SGA's masterclass to even the series 1-1...
...and record the most points ever by a player in their first two Finals games (72 PTS) ā”ļøš„šØ

if the Suns trade KD to the Spurs and don't get the #2 pick, Mat Ishbia needs to give up
Kd isnāt worth pick 2
Johnson and Vasell gone
I mean, depends on what else they're offering. But imagine you're a Suns fan and you trade an (admittedly old/aging) perennial all star and you get back Keldon Johnson from a team who has a vast wealth of young talent AND the #2 pick
True but doubt something good
Look what happened to Luka
I mean yeah but that was also a once in a lifetime kinda thing, most people with no brains would've tried to get more picks if they're giving up an All NBA player who just took them to the finals
True kd gonna for two players and a pick
Prolly 14th
I donāt think spurs are like Mavs
I mean how they gonna keep vasell
If this kd thing to the spurs happens I wouldnāt be mad because itās kd but
I just hope they donāt lose valuable players
Like vassel
Garland is likely to miss time to start the 2025-26 season, sources said. He was first diagnosed with the injury on March 23 in Utah and managed it to end the regular season before reaggravating and playing through the toe in the playoffs.
Dang
Kobe is alive
@everybody who is the best at 2K here ???
https://x.com/legenhoops/status/1932119344504361147?s=46
@forest pulsar whatās going on ?
I mean that's not a shock
You got legenād
Lakers need a C, Naz Reid is one of the better Centers available in FA this year.
That said, yeah, that's not real
i need opinions on a build i made chat
Like if that actually did happen I wouldn't be surprised
No shot
via sharms lmao š
naz can play small ball center and started his career as one but you don't want him starting at C in 2025+, he's more of a stretch 4 now
he would have to add the 35lb back
The Lakers are desperate, he's still better than Jaxson Hayes LOL
no lie detected š
but I agree with you
it's definitely not the ideal
They really could use like, Claxton or someone like that but I doubt they'll be able to get that
I need an official report before I see this flying around
Lakers get claxton
Sengun is so ahh bro
Dude stat pads and doesnāt play defense
I hope heās never an all star ever again
Zesty ah š
Sure but insanely overrated
Nah
people still making 2k builds in June? 2k26 out in a few months lol
yo i got a question about crossover escapes i can do the standard turbo to the left/right but cant do the diagonal version up left/up right anyone know what might be going on cant seem to figure it out can do all other dribble moves with ease any feedback is appreciated
When you do diagonal right let go of turbo do opposite side then hold turbo fast and you'll be able to spam it
Im 5'5 at 14 and I can probably dunk like 6.8ft max
Thats crazy good
I try to take players in free agency but I always donāt have money, even if I gave up cap hold of Trae Young (50M), someone may know why?
I think any team would want kd but
As a spurs fan I donāt see them going far with him
Heās out every 5 games with an ankle injury and heās 36 years old
Only benefit for trading for him rather than giannis would be that he has less value and they could keep vassel and their 2nd pick
Myles Turner leaving the pacers in the offseason?
nah it looks like they gonna resign him
hmm i kinda don
t want him to leave
I like yall future
they could get either if they wanted
yeah I agree, Giannis is clearly the better target, but also far more expensive
they would spend a lot less if they went for KD
spurs already got Wemby, at that point youāll lose out on more if u trade for KD. Giannis and Wemby will start a new dynasty in which they can both be great. I donāt see Giannis or Wemby leaving so if you want longevity iād just shoot for Giannis
I mean I agree Giannis is the better trade target, but if you're the Rockets or whomever, you think the same thing
They could get kd lol
i dont see a point in kd
Spurs also have way more availability than the suns
Kd wouldnāt have to play so many minutes
And would result in less injuries
Does LeBron need a bagš? He clearly doesnt
nah fr
I don't think they are willing to give up some of they're young talent for him
Yeah I mean it depends. I'm hearing rumors that Giannis won't ask out of the Bucks
Yappin
he might not be wrong
and sga still has a lot of time in his career
he already broke the finals pts record held by ai
Definitely not close without a chip. With a chip, you can start having arguments, but I think he still needs to have more years of dominance
He not better than ai all time letās not start
isn't his main pos SG?
nah, he's a PG/SG
but on the Thunder, he pretty much always plays SG
lets be real heās on the pace to be one of the top pgs
of all time
u can compare his leadership with mjs
AI didnāt even win a finals and he made jt once lol
thatās not what I mean
Curry isnāt even considered one of the best of all time for some reason
What makes SGA a different contender
Need to find highlights of SGA getting cooked though, idk why I have the urge to find it
He's on a good pace, but let's not act like he's 22 or anything. He's a player who's just coming into his prime, on a team with a lot of up and coming young players. To compare his leadership to MJ's is absurd, but he's a skilled scorer, a good defender, and a decent playmaker. At the rate he's going, he has a chance to be seen as a Top 10 PG, but top 5 is a hard list to break into. He'll need multiple years of dominance in the regular season, paired with a number of championships. Not saying that the Thunder don't have the potential to get there, but part of the reason that the Thunder are so good right now is because they have not only a number of draft picks (and they have a number of draft picks in recent drafts, they've done a great job of drafting), but also due to the fact that many of their players are on rookie scale contracts. When SGA and JDub and Chet all have extensions that kick in, and they can't afford this bevy of role players at their disposal, they'll have to move some guys and lose some of the players that made their team as good as it was (see the Celtics having to trade Jrue Holiday and potentially KP, Hauser, etc this offseason due to JT and JB's massive contract extensions)
Heās Top 5 most points in their first 2 finals games ever
Only player in history to average 30+ in last 8 home games all being playoff games
Heās Kobe without the Ego
And he is a PG he is the primary ball handler
Sure but that's such a cherry picked, niche stat. I think a number of people would argue that Chris Paul and Steve Nash are some of the top 10 PGs of all time, and neither even made a finals appearance. The other thing is, while Shai does play the PG position, he doesn't play like a PG. He plays like a scoring combo guard, and while his playmaking is still solid, to say that he'll be "one of the greatest PGs of all time" is an absurd statement
It isnāt though the stats defend him averaged 30 for 3 years in a row and counting
this is an impressive stat, but Wilt had plenty of impressive stats. Stats don't say everything.
I very very solid defender
Heās about to be a winner too though
Chris Paul has a finals appearance with phoenix
He's a pretty solid defender, but the biggest benefit is that he's a great team defender. And so are most of the rest of the members of OKC
you're right, forgot about that, mb
Nah itās good
See ball get ball lol
Shai has his MVP if the Thunder win it all heās getting Finals MVP so heād sweep the MVP awards he was eligible for
That Hasnāt happened very often
Heās a generational scorer who can facilitate when needed hell he can rebound when needed that gets overlooked because of the double center lineup
Generational efficiency
Tbf, before this season, everyone questioned whether he could be that level of winner in the playoffs. Before this, his supporting cast wasn't good enough until last year, but last year, they didn't do too well despite being such a high seed (similar to the Cavs this year). Now obviously he's proving those doubters wrong this year, but part of that was the additions of Hartenstein and Caruso. If he does win the championship this year, he'll be in some ridiculous legacy talks sure, but I personally wanna see him do it for more than just one legendary season. TMac and Harden both had some of the most legendary seasons all time ('02-'03 for Tmac and '18-'19 for Harden), but neither had the playoff success to back it up, and while both are great, no one is saying that they're in the conversations for best SGs of all time (Harden played PG at the time but let's be real, he's a scoring combo guard like SGA), because there are guys like MJ, Kobe, Wade, etc who were consistently good for many seasons, and happened to win a few rings
Well yeah team ball but heās the cog that makes it turn heās averaging like 33 on 50% shooting
Sure yeah, that's undeniably really good. I just wanna see him do it for a few more years and turn it into another ring or two before we start talking about top 5 all time in terms of PGs, especially considering the top end of the PG talent is Magic and Curry
Heās still the primary ball handler though so in my opinion he counts as a PG
I know but after them itās kinda a fall off I donāt credit Stockton very high because a lot of his assists were straight up just feeding Malone
Isiah Thomas Iāve always been mixed on
Prime harden was something else
I feel like Russ is up there for his Trip Dubs
I agree
My top 10 PGs list is
Magic Johnson
Steph Curry (reverse those if you want)
Oscar Robertson
Isiah Thomas
Chris Paul
Jerry West
Steve Nash
John Stockton (switch Nash and Stockton if you prefer)
Jason Kidd
Bob Cousy
Russ is probably 11 honestly, it's just hard to include him due to his inefficient scoring at times and lack of playoff success.
He just ran into warriors
Good
Oscar up there when Russ did what he did better thatās like my only complaint
Heās inefficiency was real but the team he had around him during the MVP time didnāt help
His efficiency got better when PG got there and when he had another costar
He didnāt feel like he had to do it all
The only reason I have Oscar up there is because he was able to turn it into a championship. Now you could argue, rightfully so, that he had a (admittedly second season) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to help him, but there's also the argument against Russ that, when playing with KD, or when playing with Lebron, he wasn't able to defer and/or change his playstyle enough to succeed, while that didn't stop Oscar from doing just as well for the Bucks as he had for the Royals, albeit with a reduced offensive load.
I do agree that the team sucked after Harden and KD were gone, until they brought in PG, but that was only for one season and they had other Carmelo Anthony shaped problems
Russ was Injured in there run if I recall correct
This is why I credit Shai too he is the dominant force of the Thunder
The team is great I know that as a fan but none of them are on his level
Russ did miss the end of the 2013 playoffs unfortunately yeah
That changes history right there
Well could
I think that yeah, SGA is clearly the leader of the Thunder, none of the other guys are or likely will be superstar, MVP level players, but they've done such a good job of surrounding him with talent that helps with that, and they're a very deep team. We've seen with most of the past few champions that being deep can really help win championships. Buzzer beaters from Payton Pritchard for the Celtics last year, the hustle and effort plays from Bruce Brown and Jeff Green for the Nuggets, etc. And both the Thunder and the Pacers are proving that, in the modern NBA, it's becoming less and less about "which team has the better player" and more about "which team doesn't have the weakest link". When Brunson is out there for the Knicks, and he gets targeted because he's a smaller guy who's a mediocre defender at best, that hurts the Knicks. Or when KAT gets switched onto the perimeter, or plays drop coverage. Those are things that teams can and will target. In terms of rotational players, neither the Thunder nor the Pacers really have a lot of bad players, players who you're comfortable with exploiting, or leaving open (save for maybe Hartenstein)
.
yeah what about it
tl;dr even though SGA is the leader of the Thunder, and is very good, their success truly stems from great team defense and a lot of great "stay ready" role players who at a moment's notice can come in and be a very impactful player on either end of the floor
oh trust me, I'm rooting for the Pacers
but Hali needs to step it up if they wanna win this series
The Thunder have done a great job of throwing a ton of different bodies and looks at him, making it hard for him to do what he wants to do, not just in terms of creating his own shot, but in terms of having him create shots via teammates such as driving and kicking, etc
How yāall feel about James Johnson having more finals points than drose dame and embid
Bait
Not a hall of famer tbh
This straight delusion and I like Hali
No he isnāt
He's not better than Shai. He's arguably the second best player in the matchup though, maybe behind Siakam for his all around game
Need big
How do you feel that bronny james has more points than you
yāall think SGA is gonna become the Patrick Mahomes equivalent in the NBA?
With the whistles no
He has normal superstar whistle
Luka gets it when healthy
Bron gets it
Brunson gets it
Kobe got it
MJ Got It
Harden gets it
Etcā¦.
Why my custome shoes missing
He doesnāt
Donāt say that now you know he does
Maybe not to the extent it used to be but he still does and Iām a LeBron guy heās my goat
Some calls
I mean in that all the tv announcers are gonna glaze him a bunch like Mahomes
Not that they arenāt both great players but yknow what I mean
Idk Doris hates him but RJ loves him
Huh
Doris need to be replaced
Real af
Mark Jackson better
Who gon win here guys my team or brandons
Playing with the suns just feels so nice
I can run with bol at the 4 kd at the 3 and Richardās at the 5
So that makes up for beals negative defense
Mavs *
The New York Knicks requested permission to speak to Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch and Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka for their head coaching job, but were denied on both, sources tell ESPN. Knicks could request permission for other current head coaches too.
Not enough offensive options for me
yo is this fr
Also just having kd is unfair
damn
Dudes coming back crazy good just watch
True suns do be nice in 2k
Victor winning mvp soon possibly next year
The Knicks have not requested permission for Mavericks coach Jason Kidd as of Tuesday night, but sources tell ESPN that the Mavericks would reject them.

they will either win without comeback or lose
Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and is expected to be ready for 2025-26 training camp.
I am a basketball fan who loves the OKC Thunder
Iām not an idiot
ESPN reporting: The Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durantās business partner, Rich Kleiman, are sorting through trade options - with interested teams mainly featuring Houston, San Antonio, Minnesota, Miami and New York.
KD are we serious?
yes i do
but cmon no need to be switching teams as a superstar as hes about to retire
well thats what i feel but ig its his career
Suns are cooked
He rocket or spur
I mean when they signed both KD and Beal i had no hope for them
Beal is so trash he doesnāt even contribute at all with that huge contract
^
Beal been cooked since 2021
2s
"He wasn't on the injury report, everything I hear, there's no concern about his status tonight. All the feel is he's fine, he's going to be good to go."
@āShamsCharania shares Tyrese Haliburton will play Game 3 despite an āankle issue."
Another one: The New York Knicks have requested permission to speak with Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder, but were firmly denied, sources tell ESPN.
Reporting for ESPN NBA Countdown on Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton's "lower leg thing" ahead of Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder:
Chet is carrying the boats but Dub needs to slow down
ye true
they keep doing 4-0 runs
dam
they cluctching up
Mathurin doing good
Sitting Dort is questionable he was sparking it
2k better have dorts 3 pt rating at at least 88 this is is 2nd game shooting it extremely well
Is it me or Jalen Williams is having so much fts?
he got fouled a lot
tbf
e got like what
8 ?
i think im missing some
Mathurin finally playing like how he shouldāve at the start of the playoffs
the entire pacers roster is playing well
Yes
Specifically Mathurin
Tyrese no longer hiding in his shell
Heās been struggling all playoffs to find his rythm until now
TJ is a beast
Well tbf pacers had to use their bench early
Starters were getting into foul trouble
it was in the middle of the 2nd i think
Bro is the small version of The Bald Mamba
I mean they are dealing with heavy weights
Yeah but two of their key defenders and siakam shouldnāt be getting in foul trouble that early
Especially with another half to play
Now that Mark D. Knows how Rick is using the team, heāll find a way to stop it
I do think okc does need their flowers too on defense. Hali has almost as many turnovers in 2 games against Okc than the entirety of last series combined against the Knicks
40 points in the 2Q for the Pacers...
They're the 8th team in the play-by-play era (1998) to score 40 in a Finals quarter š
#NBAFinals presented by @āYouTubeTV
Bruh
6 points in less than 90 sec
oh didnāt know went to the bathroom rq lol
Neismith let a wide open shot complaining of a offensive foul
he seperated himself from dort lmao
cant defend that
thats on him
NEism
WHat are YOU doing
LOL š
No one is talking about how SGA gets blocks as a guard. 3 blocks. Little bit of d wade when it comes to getting blocks as a guard lol
he 6'6
long wing span also
we'd go crazy if curry block vanvleet
I think not most do because they know him for flopping and ftā¦.
(which we didnt)
was it vanvleet he blocked or brooks
well either way shai blocked turner
Neismith
wet
Wow
good contest by hali
This game should be coming down to the wire
That would be a foul if it was a lakers player š
Dang SGA so tuff
That step back had so much aura
turner is aggressive I like it
not scared to shoot
yea no idea why he keep shooting threes. Just stick to that mid range
Oh no Caruso is back
I need Lu Dorts jump shot
hali balling
more like stat pad last game lmao
That actually PMO š
letās see how SGA will respond. Show us why u got MVP
Hali has to be aggressive this game a must win for Indy tbh
Oh no my worst nightmare
Iām thinking theyāll put caruso on Hali to bother him
yeah beating themselves by committing turnovers
LeTyrese Haliburton
we are so dead
Jalen Willams got 20
Pacers in the 4th quarter down 5
Steph gilgeous alexander
I turn for 1 min and they go down 5 points smh
they not gonna clutch up
or will they
it will be the most pacer thing ever to win last second lmao
Ha fr
nasty spin
Pacers buzzer beater incoming
mathurin š„
Are these finals better than DEN-Heat?

Heat only had bam and jimmy
In the finals

warming up the starters and put up 25
nasty 3
we doing fine, at least starting wise
Hali got a werid jumper but yeah nice step back 3
Shai turning the ball over like a mug
exactly
yall got a lot of TO this match
Himburton is cookin
Shai not doing well huh
that is perhaps the ugliest shot i have everseen that is wet
shawn marion looks a bit better
wonder if anyone uses Haliburton jumper in 2kšš
i did in 2k23
So that's a no...
it was so bad lmao
I mean yea
This the most pacer thing ever
6 SGA Tov?
I mean they are at home so it's to be expected
OB TOP
toppppinnnn
shai got clapped
uncommon bruh
like thatās when you know the defense is working
we need to change our rotations
ye bro the last few seconds been rough for OKC
obi toppin pmo
block + steals
u an okc fan ?
knicks
shai isn't hustling either
Lmao
heās tired
make sense
okc tired
you can't just contest the shot that bad and stay in the corner
Heās been playing the entire game
Caitlin Clark chillin courtside
everyone on the floor is tired
itās costing us everything
Pacers might sell
tf happened
I doubt it they arenāt playing against the pacers
Go to be a flagrant
oh my god
Okc 19 turnovers ?
out here tackling him
he grabbed caruso di
dirty
What is this dude smoking
that might be a flag 1
flag 1 probably, didnāt go for the ball at all
????
i cant hear what he said lmao
Lmao
lol
he said no wind up no follow through
Refs
bro tv volume down
but it had contact
If that was for the pacers it would of been a flag
so it's a regular foul
yeah
This is regular ?
2 free throws
what is this
caruso the goat man
so biased
what is Chet doing
i feel chu bro

LeTyrese Haliburton wins again
We are unfortunate
We only depend on curry
na
Fr
Lakers in 5
but if butler wasn't injured they would have won in 6
giving steph and the team more rest
meaning maybe steph wouldn't have got injured
but we will never know man
That game 3 is a easy win for us
100%
yeah
but with jimmy they had a 70% win almost
We need a center
if jimmy played the whole season with the same pace they would be a 60 win team
Yeah
they can pick him up for a minimum unless the rockets sign him back
and the warriors have multiple 1st rounders
But
Okc wins game 4
What about kuminga
sign and trade is what they might do
idk if he wants to sign
even tho i love kuminga
yeah
it's not certain that he would be traded
i'm thinking he takes the chance
and signs
Lets see
GG
yep ggs
2 down..
Hit FTs would be a different game
Coulda woulda shoulda
thatās a wrap boys pacers in 5
Can the Pacers role player keep up having insane games
ai?

yoo im making a second build rn anyone of yall got like a big guard or a lock??
All legends and theres Bennedict Mathurin lmao
Iām going to be so real when I ask this
How are yāall going to feel if pacers do win this and Hali gets mvp but they donāt update his sigs for the invincible?
The pacers will win
They def winning next game imo
Okc is too good to be down 3-1
Same as G1 yk
If Indy wins in 5 or 6 itās one the. Biggest upsets
Ye
Just gotta lock in with the home court advt
Even if pacers win in 7 it would still be a big upset
Exactly
If Hali isnāt aggressive they lose that game
Both offensively and defensively
Even blocked someone i forgot
They will clown on sga for his entire career if he loses
Same thing as lebron after 2011 lmao
76ers and spurs trading picks possibly
The only knock on LeBron is that 2011 finals
To me
Lebron hate is crazy
Mj glaze as well
Well the hold 2011 finals against bron
Some hate on his 2018 run
There was nothing he could do beating that golden state team in 18
They all hate on his eastern runs lmao
āWeak eastā
Is their argument
Cant blame them thi
Tho
They not wrong
Cuz compared to the west
They were weaker
Raptors choked game 1 against Cavs
Its just lebronto
Also one of the reason why ppl hate his 2018 run was bcz he was held to 7 games by victor olapido and sabonis
Then in 2021 they laughed because he got first rounded
Ad got hurt
Lakers beat the suns if ad donāt get hurt
Why doesnt the 2020 ring count
who tf does the 76ers have that the Spurs want
they're not giving up Maxey
I know the Spurs don't want Embiid
They mightve remembered when he dropped 70 on wemby and just decide they want that
It does it was just a weird year
I dk
If embiid dropped 70 on wemby then im Michael Jordan š
But he did though sure he definitely scored some at the line and not on wemby but he scored most of his points on wemby
No tf he didnāt bro š
Embiid had no more than 25 in wemby
Gimme a sec
At the time wemby was on minute restriction and barely played 25 minutes a game
And besides wemby couldnāt guard him without fouling him
Zach Collinās was on him the majority of the game do your research boy
@tribal wave at the time wemby didnāt know how to get past embiids foul baiting
That was his first time playing against emflop
I think
Current wemby would lock him up though
Embiid still cooked wemby that game thats the truth 25 minutes of murder and i love wemby
I wouldnāt say he cooked wemby because Iāve seen him get cooked a few times
But embiid knows how to abuse his size
And besides if you contest embiid too much itās a foul
He still had 49 that game without free throws which is still good if you ask me
Thatās not good btw
That just means he was foulbaiting the entire game
Statistically it was the worst 70pt game
Embiid a free throw merchant
Well known one
A 50 piece is a 50 piece
Itās not because he canāt be touched
Who wouldnāt drop 50 if their opponent canāt touch you
76ers wonāt do anything
Heās the reason they suck too
Its his fault hes injured?
He was good
He has no positive impact on the court and off the court
He plays for himself
And always ruins any offensive flow by either ball hogging or foul baiting
Your using him foul baiting as a excuse when sga does the same and he gets miles more hate than embiid
can someone help me fix the 0x887a0006 error code problem, i had it for like 2 months and it didn't fix I can't play nba
please someone
Because sga actually has a team and has a chance on winning something
People donāt really care about embiid because heās never going to win anything in his career
And itās obvious that sga and embiid both get crazy hate for foul baiting
can someone help me fix the 0x887a0006 error code problem, i had it for like 2 months and it didn't fix I can't play nba

@shell stirrup please help?
someone?
Idk bro just Google it or something
Go to customer support then
i did and didn't help me
Embiid winning over Jokic was robbery
Did you actually contact them or did you just go over faq
i contacted support
What did they say
this is what I hate about almost all of the foul baiters. Like it's one thing if Dillon Brooks foul baits, but when I see Shai or Embiid, et al. flopping around and exaggerating the hell out of the contact to get foul calls, it's just disappointing
I think Embiid and Jokic were both very good that season, and while I thought Jokic deserved it more, I can't hate too much on Embiid winning it, even if I hate him as a player, because he was very dominant in the regular season that year. I think the main reason Embiid even won though (apart from all the stupid racial stuff that Perkins was yapping about) was because if Jokic won 3 MVPs in a row, it'd put him in some ridiculous legacy talks that they didn't wanna put him in yet because he hadn't won a ring yet and people were questioning that, despite how insanely good Jokic is on offense, if he'd be able to win a ring despite not being a decent rim protector on the other end.
The unfortunate domino effect of that all meant that the next year, when I feel like Luka should've won the MVP (if we're talking about the best player/individual season, if we're saying best player on best team, it should've been Tatum), but they gave Jokic an MVP (he did have a very good season, don't get me wrong, but I don't feel like it was as strong as Luka's on an individual level, and he didn't have the team success as much as Tatum) because he didn't win it the year before. LEADING to this year, where the same problem happens (I feel like Jokic should've won MVP but Shai won it because something something voter fatigue for Jokic. I do think Shai had a really good season, but I feel like on an individual level, Jokic was better, Shai just looked better because he had a great team surrounding him).
Which graphics card are you using and which driver?
The latest on the Phoenix Suns' trade conversations around Kevin Durant for NBA Today:
I just realised we're in the wrong channel...
After all that do you see Luka winning mvp in his career?
I think it's still possible. I do think that being on the Lakers might help his case because of inherent Lakers bias in the media
He has a good long windows as well, due to the fact that his game isn't based off athleticism, short of a Lary Bird-esque injury, he should be able to play for quite a while coasting on his IQ and skills
He gotta improve on defense
Honestly for shai I get what heās doing
Heās shooting so efficiently that if you donāt play tight defense heās dropping a solid 30 on 60% shooting
But tight defense also leads to fouls
yeah but the problem is how he reacts at even the slightest amount of contact
I mean you've seen the clips/images
Gotta sell the foul š
it's just so ugly, it doesn't look like basketball, it's the same problem I have with Embiid
the problem is he does it when there's not even really contact sometimes too LOL like that one clip vs the Nuggets this year.
Same reason I'm rooting for the Pacers right now, they play good, solid team basketball
No hero ball, no stupid bs, just making the right passes and finding the shooters and stuff
I donāt like the pacers but yeah itās true
They do play good ball
Thatās the only reason they made it this far
Because they donāt have anyone extraordinary on their team
Yeah I mean I think Tyrese is a fantastic player, but he's somewhat inconsistent. And Siakam is very good, like all-star level 2 way player. But he's not quite a super star at the level of most team's best player's
But they do have a ton of really good roleplayers
Kinda like the Celtics from last year, except with Tyrese and Siakam being a little worse than Tatum and Brown, but their bench being arguably as good if not better than the Celtics bench last year
None of these guys on the pacers could even come close to carrying a team by themselves
Itās just a well organized and put together roster
They have the perfect fit of defense playmaking and shooting
100%. They've got a ton of guys who hustle and play their role well. McConnell having 5 steals last night is a perfect example of that, as well as Turner having 5 blocks
if okc dont win tmr then series is over most likely
i can still see us winning if we lose but game 7 is pacers ngl

Spurs are out
Thatās doubtful
But if it is true that could be a good thing
Because they could really focus on getting a younger superstar
Who yall got tonight pacers or okc
Fr so does Cason wallace
If okc force turnovers then they win
They have have been doing that all playoffs they need to keep up
If they lose tonight it's over if they win there the favorites again
pacers
Okc
Fr
I hate sga
Np
Who's the best pg all time steph or shai
I hate Tyrese
In my opinion shai
he is tied with tatum for least favorite player
The crashout I had after that game winner was legendary
Shai or steph best pg of all time
Sga
he is fine... I think you just don't like him cause he hit a game winner on your team š¤£
Yea
No I just donāt like him, his annoying
Okc need to lock in
Fr
Fr
My goat is sga better than Jordan or lebron
ya ever watch sga š
bro just jumps on to the floor for free throws, talk about annoying and boring to watch
Yo we team Shai ngl
Fr
At least he good and won the mvp
Yea
Ye
If they don't win the championship I'ma have the most legendary crash out in history
Joker deserved it WAY more than sga, he nearly averaged a triple double for the season, and had better stats than sga in everything except points
Fr
Yeah but he already won so much let the new generation
Viking do you make jokic glazed donuts
He's not even that good fr jokic
no
im just saying he is better than sga
I sure
and deserved the mvp more than him
U sure
If u want pacers winning, okay, but if Okc win donāt cry
Cap
No
Fr sgafan
Look at the stats 𤣠Jokic was better than sga in everything except points, and he is more valuable to the nuggets than sga is to the thunder
Capppppppp
Bro his way older, think
Yea
by 4 years...
So he's unc
4 years can be a huge experimental difference
In 4 years u can be way better than than before and make it to the nba
In 4 years sga gonna be way more experienced
am I allowed to put links in this server? (ESPN season stats for sga and jokic)
Idk, if u want

The 2024-25 NBA season stats per game for Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets on ESPN. Includes full stats, per opponent, for regular and postseason.
take Jokic off the nuggets, the all of a sudden become a below average team, okc would still have a decent chance at making the playoffs without sga
In 2020 2025 yeah
Nuggets have Westbrook, Jamal, Gordon, etc
Good players
you mean westbrick?
He sold true
don't get me wrong, sga is a good player, better than I ever will be, and he probably will get another mvp in the future, but this year it should have gone to jokic
that is all I am aruging
Yeah, Iām saying joking already have so much mvp,
Thatās why Shai won it to
I feel like the number of mvps you have won shouldn't affect if you get it again or not
Idk
Maybe
pretty good
Thx
Top 10 pg all time baby bro

The game in my country starts at 3:30 AM. I know the games don't really start exact time but is it different this finals? Do they actually start on time?
I'm from north Carolina so it starts at 830
I'm starting to get a lil scared
For OKC?
ye
Ong
Hmm now Iām terrified, Mr Aura is coming in
Yup heās warming up, Pacers are cooked
I forgot theres a final game today
Itās close wow
Pacers are winning this game!!
Aināt no way Pacer fans saying Chet You Suck while he was shooting ft š
lol i heard that to
Never thought the pacers would stand toe to toe with okc
Yet look were we are
I mean if den could without their star coach
Then Pacers would if they have that chemistry
That block Chet had looked like a foul but oh well
Call me crazy, but I think the pacers might be able to start a dynasty if they win it all this year
š
Crazy
why they always gotta hit caruso man
Not like Rudy and Draymond
The fts are going to end the pacers welp
I cant watch today
wow
No and one?
Itās all good
Hmm, Iām starting to think the refs are blind when it comes to fouls close to the rim
It is
If Caruso was flagrant then Dort should be too
I think it was on Dort not Caruso
Pascal wants to prove he can win without Kawhi wow
Nah Iām talking what they did to Caruso earlier
Oh yeah
Wow Tyrese first ft
Another close game
The New York Knicks are planning to meet with ex-Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins and former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown next week for their head coaching job, sources tell ESPN. First formal interviews for the Knicks vacancy, and more could come.
knicks down bad
Why did they fire their HC?
Knicks sucks
no idea
Hmm
I thought it would be Jenkins. I knew it wouldn't be Mike Malone.
If they go up 3-1 and somehow lose 3-1 series ima tweak out
Okc 1/11 from 3 š
Nice OB

Or for anyone who needs a comparison, next NBA season
Pascal deserves the Finals MVP if Pacers win
Ima watch them on my computer, not on the TV
Pascal has been so good for them so yea i agree, has the chance to get his 2nd ring and 1st finals MVP
