@@gumdeo dude averaged 79.7 for FT% in the finals (he won 5) and people still believe the guys from that era couldn't shoot, that's a better % than Tatum, Brown, Wade, LeBron, and many more, he's just 1% less than Michael Jordan!!
@@penkima4923 same way if you can't write properly it doesn't mean that every LeBron fan can't. And btw there's another center from the 50's that shot even better than Mikan and mind you, Bill Sharman shot better in the finals from the FT line than Steph Curry and Kevin Durant which are the best guys from this era really. But hey I'm out believe what you want, life is short, why not to live happily brain washed.
@@Fixundfertig1 So, now it's two players who can shoot, and you're still saying every player in that era could shoot. That's just shoddy logic. Nothing to do with brain washing.
The Celts have been so disrespected since winning it all I think they will be pissed enough to win it again. They didn't let Jaylen on the USA team, sit Tatum on that same team and then the media said they didn't beat anyone to deserve the title.
They are in a good position roster wise and coaching wise to repeat. In addition to the fact that they have added motivation like you said. Everyone on the celtics can dribble, pass and shoot and defend at a high level. Derek White and Jrue holiday are excellent at making plays in clutch situations and the team has chemistry. I like the Celtics to face the Mavericsk again in the NBA Finals.
They might pull a 2016 Warriors. This is the same arc that they went through in the 2015 offseason. Consistently disrespected by the media, best player didn’t win FMVP, “hospital run” etc
GS aren't a "long shot" to win anything, they're "no shot." They hate their star player Curry so much that they've kept that manchild, who's cost them at least one chip, Draymond and let Klay go instead. GS won't even make the play-in this year IMO. If things don't change, Curry won't sniff another chip the rest of his life.
@@4THAwhat do you mean if? Steph is a solo star at this point, unless they get Giannis or Luka in the next 2 years Steph ain’t winning no more championships.
Suns added Tyus Jones and Monte Morris to get the backcourt with legit PG play and improved their backup center position as well as drafted Ryan Dunn who looks to be a solid perimeter defender. They may surprise some people this year.
It's gonna be Boston again. I don't see any team being able to hang with em on offense, defense, and depth. I like OKC or Dallas coming out of the west but again, idk if anyone can hang with Boston in a series.
Warriros are a dark horse this season, which makes them scary. They have no expectations and people don’t understand that losing Klay and CP made them younger. Last year’s team looked old and slow. They needed to get younger and deeper
Lakers won't even make the play in game this season, but have a shot at that *coveted* In Season back to back! Celtics over Thunder in 6 Games, in The NBA Finals.
This year will either be really good or really disappointing as a whole. I don't even have a team anymore i just used to like watching the games alot more growing up than i do now. Lotta talent out there
If there is a playmaker who can make Russel westbrook into a all star caliber player or at least give him a chance to win 6th man of the year that is Jokic. That dude is insane, he made Jamal Murray look like a All Star snub, without Jokic Murray is at best a above average player and nowhere close to all star
Is jokic going to make Westbrook a better shooter? Is he going to turn Westbrook from a low IQ player to an high IQ player? Players always make the same mistake thinking they can win with westbrick.
@marceloasensiofilho3833 well Jamal was injured last playoffs into the Olympics, so let's see what he does this year to know if he is that bad....He showed out two years in the playoffs so I wouldn't write him off yet
@@marceloasensiofilho3833 that may be true but like I said, it's hard to say that when the guy has been injured, unable to play to his full potential...You seen what he could do when he wasn't hurt, that's why I am not ready to write him off yet
I'll tune in when the post season starts. The regular season has become unwatchable, a bunch of dudes skipping around the court, jacking 3s, guarding nobody and "load managing".
Thunder is deep and stacked. Boston will have a tough time this year if they reach the finals. Can the owners please give Jokić some help in the trade deadline!? His team only has one marquee player!
@@Robss_ They would have the best defender in the league (and it is not even close) and the best guard. That would be the best duo in the league by far. It would only be a matter of depth to be contenders.
@@kostastube2010 they’d need time to develop chemistry. Curry is getting old and he can’t carry every game anymore, Wemby is still super young and he still has to develop a lot, he was a talented offensive player and an awesome defender but he probably isn’t ready to be the second best player on a championship caliber team. Also like you said they’d need to find the right pieces to surround them with and we don’t even know how Curry would fit in Pop’s systems. They’d be a promising duo but they’d need a lot of time to actually become contenders, and by that time curry would be even older.
@@Robss_ Wemby was by far the best defender last year, should have been UNANIMOUS DPOY and he never got good passes from his teammates, while Pop was tanking yet again for Castle. (Pop is the GOAT of tanking). So Curry would give more space and more lobs and good passes to Wemby. Both could be 1st team nba.
@@kostastube2010 idk why you repeated how good his defense was, I already agreed on him being an awesome defender. Unfortunately basketball isn’t as simple as elite scorer + elite defender = championship Wemby offensively still has to mature a lot in his decision making, shot selection and efficiency, him getting more passes doesn’t fix all that immediately. Also curry doesn’t even really play like a playmaker, Draymond has been the playmaker for the warriors most of the times, Steph excels without the ball, he wouldn’t be focused on creating shots for Wemby so much.
Out of the west it’s between okc and Dallas.denver seem to be sabotaging jokic,they’d be a lottery team without joker.such a shame.mavs go to the finals and add klay,naji,grimes,dinwiddie .okc add hartenstein and Caruso,Minnie got Vincenzo and randle.what did the nuggets do? Westbrick to replace kcp.disgusting
Klay hasn't played one game for them, yet. Not that he's going to help any team anymore. The main problem is that Luka is so fat now, that he's done playing when the playoffs start. They probably won't make the finals.
Not true. Led the team in most stats for the majority of the playoffs. His jumper was off though, so the offense did suffer a bit at times because of it. He was still of impact elsewhere.
@@mike91mdk45 I watched every game. They won in spite of him. Them stats cover up his play but if you watched, he was a liability every game. He shrunk in both finals appearances. Jaylen porzingis and like one other guy I forget who, all won the team a game a piece. His ass didn't do his job
@@USA-190 nothing says I lack intelligence like having to insult a stranger without making a real point. But anyway. If you watched those games, you'd at least get where I'm coming from. His jumper was ass. He didn't school Luka either. Yeah that's my white boy. Luka was out there alone damn near. Jayson had the finals MVP jaylen brown, revenge tour porzingis, jrue holiday all carrying his ass. I am a Tatum hater but I'm not wrong
You only watched the highlights. Can tell your broke ass can't even afford an NBA subscription. Not even mav b-ball heads are saying this. You're a casual.
I'm a Celtics fans, and I generally agree with everything you said about this upcoming season, but what's with the Joe Mazzulla hate at the end? There was no need for that
@@cherimoneeboone7127 Well, the LeBron hate is why I'm subscribed, so... I'm not as extreme as dear Snap, though. LeBron is the second greatest player of all time
Nuggets also signed a 7ft G-leaguer Charles Bediako. After seeing the Nuggets lose out to Minnesota's size I was saying it could help the Nuggets to have another 7fter on the court so that Minnesota's bigs don't crowd and wear out Jokic. Hopefully Christian Braun has developed and is ready for that starting role. Why does Denver lose their championship pieces every offseason (Bruce Brown, KCP)?
The losses of Brown and especially KCP are huge, Denver is probably not winning anymore. It’s sad to see how they won 1 ring and just kept worsening their roster. If they think Westbrook is gonna fix their problems they’re in for a surprise 💀
@@Robss_ Very sad. Perhaps Denver can be improved if Westbrook is a 6th man leading their bench? Can't see him in the starting lineup, and he seemed pleased in recent interviews that Malone is going to let him play to his strengths like running the floor.
@@jordanjenkins1671 yeah that’s the only way I can see him fit. He can be the playmaker of the team when Jokic rests. With Jokic on the floor russ would need to improve his off ball movement to be effective because as of now on offense he can only be productive with the ball in his hands, but of course if Jokic is on the court the ball won’t belong to Russ.
@Skap Attack You see the ESPN article about Bronny?😮😮😮 I couldn't believe my eyes......not for the reason people may actually think. THEY DID THEIR JOB FOR ONCE!!! It's crazy!!!!!! 😂 That writer has some balls, the LeMob will not like this.
@cherimoneeboone7127 No, you simpleton. Their job is to report on sports. They talk about lebron 24/7, so it only makes sense that would address this. They really hadn't til now, ignoring how much of a joke it is that he got drafted to begin with. They finally did, and it was actually spot on, which is a surprise to many sports fans. I have no idea why I have to spell that out for you.... wait, maybe simpleton is actually apt for you.
2 Records to keep an eye on this year... 1)LeBrons all-time turnover record currently stands at 5,211. He is comforably in 1st place ahead of Westbrooks 4,597. Its doubtful LeBron can make it to 5,600 turnovers but i believe in him!! 2)LeBrons consecutive GameTying/GameWinning FGs missed in the clutch streak currently stands at 16. He has not sank a clutch shot while his team is trailing since Febuary of 2021. Some think Lebron wants to extend this number to 24 to honour the Late Kobe, which would have me losing my 'over' bet by 6 games
3 players from that Super Celtics Team won USA the 2024 Olympics Gold Medal...& Brown almost qualified also in that US team if not for some circumstances.
@@4THA Steph won all of his rings the right way 🤦🏿♂️. He did absolutely nothing wrong and anyone who says different is thinking illogically and emotionally. Why wouldn't the Warriors get KD off of free agency? It makes no sense at all. They should have let him go somewhere else and beat them just to make non Warriors fans happy?
@@4THA in both game 5 and 6 the Cavs only had 3 more free throws than the Warriors. In game 7 they had 12 more but the reason is simple. They played physical and attacked the paint, while Golden State brilliantly decided to attempt 41 threes (the Cavs only attempted 25 that game). Injuries? Really? You just called the 2015 ring legit despite Love and Irving being injured, but this shouldn’t be legit because Bogut was hurt? That’s some serious hypocrisy 🤣🤣 8 years later and still hurts…huh?😭
@@4THA Why wouldn't the Warriors add the best free agent to their roster. It literally makes no sense at all. You can't even answer that question because it's illogical.
@@Robss_ you a fan of a guy that team hops from super team to super team, has to flop, cries like a bitch, has the refs give his team 50 free throws a game, 3/6 in the finals and thinks having all these useless stats while playing longer makes him the goat and also a guy that uses peds and likes partying with diddy and got his ass son to play in the nba because he thinks that will one up jordan in a goat debate he never belonged in... when I say steph got his 15 and 2022 ring the right way... I mean he stayed with the team that drafted him, no superteam and led them to the ring as the best player.... From 2009 to that 1st ring since steph got to gs there wins went up... no use arguing with you.. you chose a beta male to look up to
You know I'm a massive fan of yours, but I think you're trippin when you said the Warriors did "virtually nothing and made NO off-season acquisitions." Given how inconsistent and defensively nonexistent Klay has been the last 2+ years, I truly believe losing Klay but adding Buddy Hield, Melton, and SloMo could be an UPGRADE. Buddy could run a blitzkrieg of 3s with Steph's gravity, and Melton and Anderson are unequivocal upgrades on the defensive end, something the Dubs have desperately needed... i think they'll make the playoffs and nobody will want to catch them in the first round -- unless Steph gets injured or Donkey Dipshit murders someone...
Knicks reslly impressed me with their moves. 76ers looks good on paper but i just dont trust them come playoffs. Boston Celtikkks still favourite for the East tho
@@cherimoneeboone7127 oh where are my manners I'm sorry. I will of course clown on whoever wins it. It's also a LeBron thing cause you know it's in the name "LeBron mid season invitational". I'm done. Your turn.
@@cherimoneeboone7127 Oh where are my manners, I'm sorry. Yes I'm clowning on whoever wins it. And yes too, it's a LeBron thing. It's in the name. LeBron mid season invitational. Now, you're turn. Why do you sound so butt hurt?
Cool. But just make sure you put some Respect on Lamar's name!!!!! That's all I'm saying Skap!!! Lay off Lamar. It's unwarranted! Does he need to be better in the playoffs yes! But he don't deserve the slander and he is one of the greatest football players EVER!!!! Definitely the best Duo threat EVER!!!! stop disrespecting him. He humble, plays the game the right way and just wants to win!!!!!! You would know this if you actually watched the games!!!!! A lot of his short comings unfortunately have to do with Hardbaugh and coaching. I've been a Ravens fan since 05 and I've watched almost every snap of Lamar. Stop disrespecting him!
A lot of his shortcomings includes him too, cant say he’s one of the best ever and don’t include him in his own shortcomings & bein humble doesn’t mean nothing on the field, its about performance
it's gonna be another Luka vs Shai year in the Western conference, while situation in the East is much more unpredictable as I don't trust the Celtics at all
I dont people realize that the Celtics are going to buzzsaw their way to a repeat. Just head and shoulders the best team in the league and its not even kinda close
In the play-in, Fox decided that it was a good idea to toss up twice the 3-pointers than in the regular season, shooting 25 %. And Sabonis has been consistently horrible in the post-season. I'm not laughing, because they've been a sad team.
@@knownasking7607it’s actually the opposite, having a different team win every year is corny and takes away from the mystique of winning a championship. If you look at the history of the NBA the league always does better when they have 2 or 3 teams dominating an era, the 70s had parity and the league was on life support until Bird and Magic came and dominated the 80s.
@@jaydot4956 bro said its corny🤣 Everyone hated when KD joined the warriors you know why??? Because they knew the Warriors were going to dominate the NBA for years and ruin the Cleveland/GS rivarly
@@knownasking7607 people say they hated it but the ratings was high in the 2010s when Lebron and Steph were dominating. NBA fans don’t really like parity or too much parity anyway. If a different team wins every year it takes away from the mystique of winning, it goes from being an exclusive club to everyone being able to join the club.
So much talent in sports it seems to always come down to who is the healthiest. Yea Nuggets need a new GM. Booth sucks. Maxing Murray was Saying "Jokic you don't get any more championships." Only way out of this mess is Jokic taking less money to bring in better players scents they waist all that salary cap on a OK roller coaster player. What a joke.
OKC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Minesota Edwards will lose in 1st round. Only OKC, Dallas and Denver (in that order) can get to the finals and beat the Celtics (or the Knicks).
My vote for most delusional fanbase goes to OKC, yall lost 3 times to the frikin Lakers last season, 3 OUT OF 4 GAMES😂Western Conference Finals next season: Wolves 4 - 0 OKC
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay They were bad against teams with good centers (Lively/Gafford killed them in the 2nd round), maybe with Hartestein they can improve on that. I would prefer a Luka's revenge in the finals against Boston, but OKC has improved a lot his roaster and maybe they're favourites in the west. The Wolves won't be good this season, or at least, not as good.
@@AverageGuy28 how? Literally HOW?? Wolves have just as good defense as last year but like 3 times better offense, I can't see them winning less than 60 games if they are healthy
@@BeerAndJointsAllDay I'm not a fan of KAT, but I think they will miss him. Randle and Gobert are unplayable together. And Edwards has earned a lot of hate by talking shit and I bet many players are willing to beat him, and they will do.
@@AverageGuy28 Randle played next to Mitchell Robinson for 5 years in New York, I really don't see your point here. Robinson is like half the offensive player Gobert is and that's saying a lot! Averaged just 5.6pts on 56% shooting last season, for comparison Gobert averaged 14pts on 66% shooting last season. KAT and Ant were the reason the Wolves lost in the conference finals last season, but especially KAT with his 37% for 2 and 24 YES 24% from 3!
