Durant cannot win an NBA championship without Curry and his Warriors

[markusmod]

Fight was like 2 weeks after 9/11

I remember

I threw a house party and ordered the ppv to watch tito destroy Hopkins before he unifies 168 and losses to Roy at 175

Nobody was more sad over that outcome than Jones

jesus christ....


thank you for getting it.


thank you.


look at what's been legalized. online betting. ********. being promoted during nba games. with some window dressing warning about being careful and seeking help if you develop a ******** problem...




its not funny.

look at who controls ******** in america.


USUAL SUSPECTS.

Yep. And they don't need every dollar, which is ridiculous. Not only do they rig the game against defenses, but officials rig the games for superstars. As if they're not good enough to win on their skill alone. It's just like pro wrestling, except with wrestling they at least always admitted it was rigged. It took them decades to admit the other sports were rigged until finally we saw NBA refs admit it after an investigation. And all these damn rules changes in the damn NFL, so you can't even reroute receivers or hardly even breathe on quarterbacks anymore. I might start watching the USFL or the XFL if that starts up again because it's becoming a f****n travesty. At least I know wrestling is scripted and fighters actually get to beat the crap out of each other when someone gets out of line. You mentioned ******** commercials followed by ******** addiction ones, as if they cared. Reminds me of that George Carlin bit about how they show car commercials after beer ads. As if to say "get drunk and then go driving f*** you"

donaghy wasnt the only one.

he's said so himself.

who is in charge of officiating and assigning officiating in the nba?

adam_silver-313744.jpg

that's who is in charge of officiating. that's how chris paul went 1-13 or 1-18 or some ridiculous losing record against all scott foster officiated games. scott foster is another tim donaghy. HE'S WORSE THAN DONAGHY. HE'S STILL EMPLOYED!!!! He's the new joey crawford. he's the new **** bavetta (aka knick bavetta). The nba's unofficial chosen ref to do silver's bidding. his hatchet man. a referee chosen to make sure certain outcomes happen. adam silver works for the ownership group of the nba. who is the ownership groups main enemy in the nba????

THE PLAYER'S ASSOCIATION.

Who is the head of the player's association?

Chris Paul Elected President of National Basketball Players Association

The National Basketball Players Association has a new president, and his nickname is CP3.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard was elected president of the NBPA on Wednesday evening. It is the first power shift at the position since Derek Fisher took over for Antonio Davis in 2006.

i looked up cp3's dubious record vs scott foster:
Chris Paul breaks infamous losing streak vs. referee Scott Foster as Suns top Clippers in Game 2

has beaten pretty much everybody in the NBA postseason, but his toughest opponent historically hasn't even been a player. No, if you look at the numbers, Paul has struggled most against referee Scott Foster. The future Hall of Famer lost his previous 13 playoff games officiated by Foster prior to Tuesday night (though his managed to win Game 2 of the 2021 Western Conference Finals without Paul in a game officiated by Foster).

people think the nba is some holy institution above corruption...its just another fortune 500 corporation that is very prone to corruption. Look at the nba draft, there's been long held conspiracy theories that the nba picks and choose who gets the #1 pick. adam silver and company can EASILY squash all this talk by simply showing the ping pong balls being selected. Instead, they dont. they give some lame ass excuse about "protecting the integrity" of the process....

LOL WUT?

state lotteries show ping pong balls being selected. they show it on video being selected to let the tax payers and state know everything is legitimate and no foul play is involved. they just zoom in on the machine and the ping pong balls being selected and the "security of the process" would remain. but the nba???

THEY REFUSE TO SHOW THE PING PONG BALLS BEING SELECTED. That way they can rig the draft like what happened recently with the new orleans pelicans winning the zion williamson sweepstakes after trading anthony davis to the lakers, who somehow got a high draft pick despite them winning enough games to get the lowest possible chance to get a top pick which coincidentally gave them enough draft capital to trade for AD and of course, the pelicans after losing a franchise player immediately gets rewarded with a top pick and a generation player in zion....

Its gonna happen again.

Watch out for the next draft with another generational talent incoming in victor wembanyama. detroit should get this pick since they have the worst record followed by the rockets, but watch who gets it. it will be the san antonio spurs.

just watch.

spurs are a small market team and just decided to rebuild after treading water after the kawhi era. its a small market team that's well run, whose coach is beloved and an ally of the ownership group and adam silver. pop is a military guy, and knows how to play the politics. that's how he was able to land tim duncan after sitting a healthy david robinson an entire season to tank. pop and the spurs will be awarded the #1 pick to land another french star player not because of the tony parker angle, or them having one of the worst records in the nba, no they will get awarded because poppovich played politics:

920x1240.jpg

we all know the nba LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES interjecting themselves with woke politics from ***, to LGBT, feminist causes, poppovich and the spurs will be awarded wembanyama for the spurs org hiring hammond as the first female assistant coach in nba history.

similar to the warriors getting favorable calls (vs the rockets, vs lebron (owners dont like player empowerment which lebron started) and that ridiculous reverse charge call vs kd warriors) because they hired jason collins who came out the closet after playing his way out of the nba.

just watch.

Close 2 point shots = 1.2 pts per fga

Mid-long range 2 point shots = 0.8-0.9 pts per fga

3 point shots = 1.0-1.1 pts per fga

That's not even counting the fact that you get more free throws shooting 2s especially close 2s

Also not counting "and 1s" which is more frequent shooting 2s

Also not factoring in that you get the opposing teams/players in foul trouble and getting more free throws thru foul penalty limit


getting to the free throw line btw = 1.5-1.6 per 2 fta


The most efficient shots in basketball is getting close shots and getting to the free throw line


3 is only more efficient than long 2 jumpers where the fg % is similar


Only morons who think 3 > 2 pts are the ones that say 3 is better than 2

If you think coaches say that, you lack perspective

How easy is it to get a layup compared to a 3?

We’d all love to just walk up and down the court and get open layups but that’s not how the game works.

That’s the point you’re repeatedly missing.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Did you not watch the lakers game last night?

LOL

Warriors shot 40% from 3 and lost to the lakers who shot 24% from 3

now how could the lakers possibly score more points......

Hmmmmm

It's almost as if it's because they shot a higher percentage of 2 pt shots.

That didn’t age well.

#Blowout.

[Left Hook Tua]

#Blowout.

Wow

Are you ******?

The example had nothing to do with who would win the series.


The example was how in game 1 a lot of 2s and fts beat 3s.

Pretty easy on fast breaks when the opponents miss 3s and you run it back.

Long shot, long rebound.

We’ve already established your comprehension is terrible.

So you use a one off game to support your agenda when it suits you. Predictable.

Go back to talking about hand checks.

It's called an example

Game 1 was a good example of a lot of close 2s and fts vs a lot of 3s

Game 2 was just a blow out

I think youre the one with horrible comprehension


But we all know you're just playing it off because you realized you were wrong on your "3 pointer is the most efficient shot" ignorance

3 pointers are more efficient than long 2s and mid range 2s

It is not the most efficient way to score

[Left Hook Tua]

I'll repeat for the re tard

try to make a detailed rebuttal, re tard


Close 2 = 1.2 pts per fga

Mid-long 2 = 0.8-0.9 pts per fga

3 pointers = 1.0-1.1 pts per fga

FT = 1.5-1.6 pts per 2 fta


Close 2 is the most efficient shots in the game as well as FT
