The Official NBA Thread: NBA Draft Tonight | Giannis to the Miami Heat

[addict4sneakers]

People discredit Gobert pretty much every time. He’s constantly voted as the most overrated player in the league and people literally say he’s bad at basketball.

I watched fellow Knick fans lambast Randle for years calling him a nut etc.

People love to post that “they have KD but we have Jaded McDaniels”quote from Ant.

People do discredit their players a lot historically. Maybe not tonight but over the past 5 years.

Stop the cap.

But we are talking about this series. THEY wanted to play 3 on 3.

Twolves supporting cast was great especially in a closeout game. I’ll be the first to tell you Rudy was a slight scammer but I can’t say anything bad about him round 1.

So, lakers better or worse after Luka trade?

 

[picasso swerve]

Here’s one title they won because he was a plus defender

They won cause Wiggins turned into Maple Jordan and had JT in hell.

More gems

JJ sucks and killed your teams energy. Had them starting the game with the Gatorade symbols.

Luka not in his prime yet?

Typical prime age is 27-30.

Which is why it’s dumb to make bold claims about these guys that are younger than that. Especially when they’ve actually shown something.

 

[WASHED KING]

But

I'm chilling.

Still Pro Rockets over here

Nice try, but a little fact checking for you: Chuck joined a 53-win Suns team that gave up NOTHING for him in the Sixers trade. Weird how they won 62 games the next season with him. Meanwhile, they barely made it out of the first round. They went down 0-2 to the 8th seed Lakers. They needed SIXTY THREE FREE THROWS to beat the Sonics in Game 7 of the WCF. The 1993 Suns were barely a Finals team WITH Chuck. Stern made that Finals happen, and there's no way to argue against it. But, have fun with your silly arguments.

This couldn’t be more wrong around the adjustments to the roster.

Danny ainge was signed a new head coach was promoted in. Richard dumas came back for a year long suspension

Ainge and Barkley took them from a 4 seed to a 2 .

Can’t knock the controversy against the sonics but let’s not act like that roster didn’t improve. Jeff hornacek was there leading scorer even tho KJ did all the heavy lifting

Worse but they won’t admit it. I just get told I want the Mavs to win the trade.

can't forget about my favorite laker fan from Birmingham

Lakers finally out of the Klutch chokehold, what a beautiful day.

There is a path for the Lakers to make a deep run this season. Just gotta avoid Denver mostly and stay on the opposite side of their bracket until the conference finals.

Nobody else, even OKC scares me with how Bron and Luka control pace in playoff games.

When the Snowtime Lakers dispatch GS and Denver in consecutive rounds I'mma need you to pull a @VARNELL HILL and SCRAM

This Gators-Lakers chip parlay gonna hit like that 80s crack Whitney was doing

Lakers next!!!

Ant-Man, Candyman, Put em in a frying pan...

Lakers in

So you prove my point and try to discredit him...he's a scammer but he's the best defender of the past decade and pretty much any roster he's on wins 50 games.

Ended the Chris Paul Clippers...
Ended the Westbrook Thunder...
Wins 50 games every year...

But he's still a scammer for some reason. I'd be fine with the nuance about Rudy if people were willing to give that nuance to anything else but they use it selectively cause he's French, liteskin and kind of a *****.

 

[finessence]

Literally been posting in the buck all year. Time to wipe his face and put his clothes back on

The most underrated move the wolves did is the Conley trade. Veteran presence, got off dlo who played terrible with Gobert. Got walker AND like 4 second round picks. He hit the game winner for us last night too.

I didn’t like the trade at the time either. I like to think of it as part of the Gobert trade: makes me feel better

Gobert was lowkey invisible this series until last night. Held up on switches better, but was a complete negative on offense.

He’s got 4 DPOys. He should have 2. Not his fault. Slight scammer.

You get no props beating a Russell Westbrook led team.

Again I’m easing off the Rudy slander. He’s got highs and lows but I’m not going to slander for the sake of slandering.

He basically had more points and rebounds than in the 4 previous games total. But yes he was really good in isolation though.

I did say it was close, with the stipulation being if LaMelo could stay healthy, he can't so it isn't close.

It’s hard to say it’s close when the guy hasn’t played meaningful basketball in his life. The idea of him is close, sure.

So Goober gets the stipulation that he went against Jaxon Hayes. Ant roasted a 40 year old, and the worst point-of-attack wing in the league and that's impressive lol.

I’m not talking about them marching up with Ant on defense. He outplayed the guy who outplayed him last year and sent them home from the playoffs? That’s the impressive part. Regardless of LeBron’s age, he’s still a guy who’s going to make All NBA this year.

We’ve already seen Gobert get played off the floor when Luka had a lob threat/rim protector and shooters last year. Good series by him but his limitations are still pretty glaring.

And Lakers helped out a lot with Rudy’s dominating performance.

LeBron showed his age and Luka was hobbled, so they Didn’t take advantage of him offense and didn’t help with the rebounding on the defensive end.

And the rest of the Lakers just weren’t good, except for Rui who had a good shooting game. With JJ keeping them small at all times, and the rest of T-Wolves missing 40 three point shots (yes, you read that right), it was a recipe for Rudy to clean up on the offensive glass.
