only a handful of NBA teams actually try to win. The 6ers were practicing in YMCA's while other teams had dedicated facilities, nutritionists, and trainers. The ownership was just trying to make profit in the AI era. In the old days boomers used to run their teams like a business, and try to field the cheapest team possible that gets asses in the seats.

The Coronation of a Living God
Before LeBron James, basketball had players. After LeBron James, basketball has a religion, and he is the scripture, the sermon, and the church all at once.
This man did not simply play the game. He rewrote it. He took the blueprint Michael Jordan handed the world, studied it, and launched it into the sun. LeBron didn’t stand on the shoulders of giants. He became the giant other people will stand on for the next fifty years.
Four championships. Four Finals MVPs. Four different teams. Different decades. Different eras. Cleveland. Miami. Cleveland again. Los Angeles. The man dragged entire franchises off the floor like a father picking up a toddler, and he did it every single time.
You want to talk about longevity? He has been the best player on Earth since roughly 2005. That is not a career. That is a civilization. Empires have risen and fallen in the time LeBron James has been dropping 27-7-7 on a Tuesday night in February.
He is a point guard trapped in a power forward’s body, running a coach’s playbook, with a closer’s mentality. He knew he was going to be great before he was old enough to drive. And somehow, he still exceeded it.
When he dishes a no-look pass through four defenders to a cutter nobody else even saw, it’s not basketball anymore. It’s art.
He is the greatest basketball player who has ever lived. Not the most likable answer. The correct answer.
The King didn’t come to play. He came to last forever.

Seems a lot of you have the memory of a fucking goldfish. Last night was basically 2024 Boston vs Miami game 2 all over again. And we all remember how that series ended. Suxers won't keep shooting 50% from three, it's just not sustainable. Some of you just never fucking learn. C's in 5.

nah
he's a floor raiser meaning he'll bully your team into getting 50+ wins via effort but he has no sort of big picture vision when it comes to effectively shaping his team into a championship caliber weapon
if the team loses its always because

without addressing the real problem which is offensive planning and scheme, which he either shuffles off to fred or doesnt address at all

Isn't this true though? They made Marcus Shart look like a GOAT. A balding white dude. 87 year LeMickey. I'm wondering what kind of defense they were playing looking at the box score.

>>154326065
How do you space a team that can't shoot, sans KD, and doesn't understand cutting or offball movement?
They were just as bad last year, but FVV can drive and distribute. Plus, he shoots just well enough to space. Adams fetching like 15 Orebs and being a pylon screen the defense has to constantly navigate obviously is also more practical than 4 players doing nothing.
>>
>>154326149
yes, but using "effort" as your main method of winning is lazy and also unrealistic
you wont be able to give 100% on defense every game because the human body cant facilitate that for an entire season, some games you'll be able to lock in and carry via defense and some games you wont
the issue is that defensive effort is ime's only method of winning and he relies on players to create offense and even defense almost entirely on a one on one level
you can see this because every rockets offensive possession ends with some kind of improvised play that most often doesnt work
this is what I mean by floor raising coach, ime can get young players to put in effort but that doesnt win championships, the vision and scheme does
>>
>>
>>
>>154326182
>can't shoot, sans KD, and doesn't understand cutting or offball movement?
as the coach it's ime's job to both teach his players those skills and also facilitate them for his players
amen for example IS one of the best cutters and offball players in the league but so often he's left on this on ball role which he is often completely ineffective in because he's a non shooter
meanwhile we DO have a shooter in reed sheppard that ime refuses to play because "he's a traffic cone" (like that matters when you lose the game anyway playing with guys that aren't "traffic cone"s but dont score points anyway)
yes fred and steve coming back next year will help but putting fred in because fred is a pro level point guard who actually understands offense as a band aid for ime's ineptitude is a bad strategy and this year displays exactly why that is
>>
>>154326185
I wonder if they can even run any scheme effectively considering I'm under the impression the have no chemistry. KD is autistic. Sengun is a "white" turk foreigner and nobody probably likes him really, when he's supposed to be the #1 option.

Winning day yesterday. Hit two of three. I thought Rockets would bounce back and they probably would have if the overrated, overvalued KD didn't play. 9 turnovers, dude? There's your "basketball god". Anyways, let's keep the momentum rolling.
>Magic-Pistons over 218.5
3 of their 4 season matchups cleared this total. Since 2016, when Game 1 goes under, Game 2 has gone over at a 52.6% clip. I think Pistons have a bounce-back on offense after shooting a dismal 40% from the field in Game 1.
>Suns +17.5
Suns got blown out in Game 1, but they were still the 3rd best ATS team this year. I think this is a huge market overcorrection. OKC is still 23-24 ATS as double-digit favorites. They are 4-6 ATS as favorites of -17.5 or greater. The Suns are 8-4-1 ATS when coming off a loss of 15+ points.
Good luck, and don't bet what you don't have.

>>154326215
I'd like to see Amen develop some kind of basic on-ball offensive package. When there's nothing going they try to slash with him, but without a shooting threat or a lot of finishing finesse it's pure Rocket's ball.
It felt like Fred was their life support last year's playoffs.
I think it's a tall order for Ime to fix all the mechanics of this team, but playing reruns every season deserves a change of cast.
>>
>>154326220
yeah this season has effectively killed the kd "bus driver" narrative (that he can be one, I mean), it's pretty clear by now that he lacks the off ball skills to function as the main driver of an offense, he's the world's best second option
meanwhile sengun lacks the offensive efficiency to function at the one as well (consistently at least) so he's not viable either
it doesnt help that kd turns the fucking ball over whenever he has to pass out of a double team (which is half the reason to even have KD is the gravity but you cant even take advantage of it because he'll just throw the ball away to the other team)

he's actually surprisingly good in isolation, the problem is of course he can't shoot so if the enemy team clogs the paint then he has no real recourse
in a team with good spacing it might be realistic but they dont have that

>>154326215
>as the coach it's ime's job to both teach his players those skills and also facilitate them for his players
I'm not even trolling but is that actually Ime's job? Isn't that the job of the assistant coaches on the staff? Each team has at least one if not multiple shooting coaches and skills coaches in general, and most players have 'their guys' they work out with in the off season to get better at shooting, dribbling, etc. I always felt that an NBA head coach is the tone setter and authority of the team who also hires and manages their staff.

>I always felt that an NBA head coach is the tone setter and authority of the team who also hires and manages their staff.
yeah pretty much but ime's assistants are also his "guys" he brought over from boston so if its not his fault then its theirs and either way something has to change about the situation
>>
>>154326185
Of all teams I think the Rockets actually should have traded for someone like Bane instead of Durant, Bane would have solved their shooting problems, fit Ime's team building philosophy with his tough gritty mindset, and been a better off ball player with Sengun.
Durant was swept by the Timberpups and then missed the playoffs the following year when with the Suns, why did Houston think he was their missing piece? The Rockets had a better record last year without Durant, he's a locker room cancer.

>>154326412
>Durant was swept by the Timberpups and then missed the playoffs the following year when with the Suns, why did Houston think he was their missing piece?
its important to remember the context of the moment, which was that the rockets had fred in the playoffs last year but they also had jalen green as their primary scorer
in simple terms the idea was to simply swap out jalen for KD while keeping everything else the same
of course that didnt work out because fred tore his ACL but that was the plan
>>
Did the Grizzlies do nothing in the Ja Morant era to retool around their core? No big acquisition from trades, no nothing? Just decided to blow things up like that? Did they have no picks to swap for an upgrade or were they tired of Ja being a bad news generator so early they didn't even try?
I mean compare them with the Kings, they at least tried getting Domas and DeRozan. Grizzlies just did nothing and decided to trade people off
>>
>>154326437
>in simple terms the idea was to simply swap out jalen for KD while keeping everything else the same
They lost Brooks which was a big blow because he's a major tone setter and culture guy. I think they could have moved Green and some other salary filler to get Bane and then use him with Brooks as a brutal backcourt bully combo. I agree not having Fred has hurt this team but Sengun has regressed with Durcant when he would have ascended even higher with a low maintenence sniper like Bane. Because if you want to get real about it Durant has not had any significant impact on winning in like 5 years.

This, he doesn't have anywhere near the defensive impact he used to and he's a major ball stopper on offense. Sure he gets you a bucket but it's at the expense of guys standing around and losing interest. And he's NEVER been clutch, he choked that 3-1 GS series singlehandedly.

yeah that was an unforeseen consequence of the trade, on top of that brooks is a pretty good shooter as well which the rockets desperately need
>>
>>
>>
>>154326472
They gave up a young promising player a Brooks on a bargain contract to get a locker room cancer and ball stopper who doesn't effect winning anymore: the Suns had a BETTER record this year by nearly ten (10!!!) wins WITHOUT Durant, and the Rockets had the same record this year as last year with him. Let that sink in.
>>
>>
>>
>>154326497
They were okay losing Brooks I think because they still had a dawg who could shoot like Fred but him getting hurt really derailed their team, but it also shouldn't have come to some off white manlet getting hurt ruining your season. What Ime needed to do was pay Reed 35 minutes a game from the get go and let him develop but it took half the season for him to get real minutes and now he's barely playing this series, it's fucked.

the KD trade was bad and KD isn't a winning player but lets be real at this point jalen green is not a promising young player, he's done the same shit every year which is be a pretty bad defender, give you a handful of great games per year, and do nothing besides that
he's cam thomas with a better attitude (which shouldnt be discounted because jalen is a nice guy but let's be realistic)
>>
>>154326491
I mean I agree, but I'm surprised they didn't try longer to make things work. Suns traded for CP and sacrificed for Durant and Beal afterwards, the Kings put their chips on Domas and Bulls 2 after a taste of the playoffs, but the Grizz feels like they're punting without trying any real shakeups.
>>
>>154326524
a 20 ppg scorer at 44% shooting who also plays defense and is a general DAWG making $21 million a year yeah that's a good contract nigga. Bane averages around the same split and makes twice as much $44 million per, for comparison.

>>154326531
>What Ime needed to do was pay Reed 35 minutes a game from the get go and let him develop but it took half the season for him to get real minutes and now he's barely playing this series, it's fucked.
yeah and this goes back to ime's mismanagement of his personnel and his biases towards defense guys who can't score when you win the game by scoring
>>
>>
>>
>>154326558
And Reed is not even a bad defender for his size is the thing, he's very disciplined, he can stay in front of his man and even get steals, he averaged 1.5 steals a game and nearly a block per game as well. The irony is that he is probably a better defender than the guys like Eason and Okogie who are playing ahead of him and Reed can actually shoot, but Ime never plays him long enough to let him get into a rythem.

I think the idea of the Rockets trading Durant was fine as he provides the needed shooting and they didn’t give up too much but they then lost all their playmaking once FVV went down and they didn”t have a backup option. It’s not the trade itself so much as they didn’t fill the hole in the roster.
It’s far from the Rockets only issue but the playmaking and ball handling is the biggest and amplifies all the other problems. Having no-one who can pass or shoot results in KD possessions where he gets doubled, or effectively tripled, basically every possession and he struggles with that.
>>
>>
>>
>>
VJ is the best rookie but because he is on a team with actual players unlike the mavs and hornets, he doesn't get an opportunity to shoot the ball 20+ times a game to inflate the stats. Anyone with a brain can see VJ is the best rookie in this class followed by Flagg. Kon is decent and might make an all star game one day but is noticeably a tier behind those 2.

Retard. Wizards would've made the play-in both of MJ's years. That's with Jordan playing all 82 games at 40 years old, something that LeBron has only done once in his entire career.
LeBron has missed 15% of eligible games. MJ missed only 8% of eligible games, with the bulk of that being his sophomore year with a legitimate broken foot sidelining him the entire season. LeBron has never had a single legit injury and has missed literally hundreds of games.
>>
>>
I’m trying to work out which is harder - fixing the Rockets or fixing the Sixers. Sixers lineup is full of good players but their cap is fucked with horrible unmovable contacts but the Rockets roster is a confusing mess of role players.
I think you can do more with the Rockets but it’s hard to know what move to make. Sixers are basically forced to run it back as an OK team until George and Embiid come off the books.

Whenever anyone says "X is the next Jokic" or "so-and-so is Jokic Jr" always look to see how many triple dubs the rumored Jokic equivalent in question is putting up, how many MVPs they have, how many deep playoff runs to the 2nd round or past.
Players like Jokic and Mavs Luka never get called "the next X", they make their own reputations and build their own unique and superior brands of ball and they stand on their own. All the kwabs who want to be the next Kobe are just 2nd rate bitches

Would have been major sunk cost fallacy to try and replace manleet. Even with him and Adams they were still missing an MVP level player to contend with. Had everything gone right they could have made a deadline run at Janice or Kawhi but after those injuries it was the right move to punt on this season.

They did after two games in 2023 as well, but then they lost 2/3 in Philly. And in the one home game they won, they almost blew a double digit lead they had held for most of the game and won by the skin of their teeth in OT.
My point being the Celtics are their daddy no matter the arena.

I swear, the German and Anglo doctors did something to the GOATic when he was out with his injury. He went from having one turnover for his career to averaging a turnover per minute. It’s a mass conspiracy. They’re always trying to keep the R1a Slavman down. This is the fake moon landing all over again. They can’t compete with SLAVIC EXCELLENCE.

Guys, I know nothing about basketball as a Canadian, but I bet 7k on Detroit as statistically 6% odds on a first seed to win the championship seemed nuts. Now they are behind a game, how fucked am I?

>Boston is usually good for one absolute stinker per series
Why do Celtics fans pretend they are some dynasty that is unstoppable and only loses one game per series? These fools have one ring and every other year they have bricked themselves out of the playoffs. They lost to a damn 8 seed Heat.

Subhuman nigga clearly hooks traores arm here, but the boxscore will tell you its a turnover because the retarded subhuman ref didnt call it. Retarded sport how much is decided by retarded fucking refs.

Are you retarded? The last 2 seasons were sort of anomalys, but Jokic has always been relatively turnover prone like most high level passers, the 23 season which literally everybody glazes, was his 3rd most turnover prone season. The 24 and 25 seasons were the exception not the rule and even then 3 turnovers still is relatively high

>dumbass nigga thinks its a 1v5 sport
he has been subbed off most of this game anyway because the 6ixers keep fouling him to force turnovers and the retarded refs keep allowing it. Stupid mfers should be shot.

Diversify or white knuckle and babysit one asset. Invest long term, swing trade, day trade, or scalp pennies hundreds of times a minute.
There's not one way to play. I feel confident the dollar will be 3-5% weaker year over year, so even side stepping that is a start to your journey.

Show me any stock that has a 13% ROI. That's what I am currently at in MLB betting underdogs every day. And I actually consider that to be slightly disappointing. I usually finish MLB seasons near 20% ROI.

plot jokic on that chart and you'll see he is just as much an outlier in high per minute playoff scoring and jordan was, but jokic also produces rebounds and assists too

You wanna know why? Because I have to see retards like you on facebook and twitter all day talking about he's the "GOAT, best player in the league AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE,9x MVP" when he's had the worst playoff resume of any 3+ MVP, has had the worst playoff game choke, and just recently got locked up in the clutch by Rudy Gobert, only for his dumbfuck fanboys to try and shift the blame to Braun and Murray when the retard serb went full Ben Simmons and passed up an open floater with less than a minute left in the game.
He's not better than SGA, he's not even better than Wemby. He's be a benchwarmer in the 90s, or any era that isn't the current weakest era of centers ever. Thank you for you attention to this matter!

watching the 76ers - celtics game, it's actually kind of crazy how the celtics just sort of let it happen, they got out-white guyed by the 76ers defensive energy. tatum came back from two amputated legs for this and his team let him down

If you're the rockets where do you even go from here. Get rid of Mr. Dickerson obviously but your "young core" look completely inept and can't function offensively, and this is a team they spent several seasons tanking trying to build

You run it back next year with FVV and Adams. Their entire offensive system relies on the former being able to be the main playmaker and help KD or Sengun get open looks, and the later being able to get a shit ton of offensive rebounds. Amen will most likely to continue to improve as well.

See, even the announcer can see that traore gets fouled on one of his drives with a no call. (4th field goal attempt is the one im talking about?
This is why I preach process over results. Look how fucking easily Traore just gets by players with a drive, there is nobody his age like this except for Cooper and Dylan.
He gets by players so easily that the only way they can prevent a shot is by cheating with wingspan (not skilled at all) or fouling and getting away with it.
