- It depends how things are officiated; 80s brutality vs. the 10s fragility.MondoMorphic
- 00's no doubtgrafician
- the 10s wouldnt make it passed halftime without everyone getting injured.StoicLevels
- also replace Westbrook with LeBronStoicLevels
- 80s or 90s or 60s_niko
- 85's.CuriousGeorge
- westbrook doesn't belong therepinkfloyd
- 00'sutopian
- as talent, probably 00s... but as a team, I'm going 90s.showpony
- Why is russel in the mix?wagshaft
- Westbrook that is.wagshaft
- 00's my pickpinkfloyd

- Never bet against JordanStoicLevels
- Never bet against Shaqgrafician
- 00's. If you're running a 3 guard game, Bron better be one of them. 10's backcourt is porous, would be absolutely diced by AI and Kobe.garbage
- final would be 90's vs 00's. But put in Jordan as the 2x boosting factor for his teammates while comparing the teams.Beeswax
- The 00s and 10s have no idea what defence is, Stockton and Malone would pick and roll them to death_niko
- lol @McFail/McHalekaiyohtee
- 00’s ... no doubtRamanisky2
- lol @ stockton and malonepinkfloyd
- Bad boy pistonstank02
- 00's for sure. Shaq, Timmy and LBJ would not up with the Utah dirty screen game for long.garbage
- Also obligatory "Karl Malone is a pedophile and rapist" comment.garbage

CHAMPS!
what a finals and what a performance by Giannis, such a great story and even better that it wasn't some whack-ass mercenary super team.
- grafician's new favorite temutopian
- Nahgrafician
- Just got lucky when half the NBA is injured lolgrafician
- Lol what a shit hot take. NBA has been injured every year for decades. That’s basketballnoRGB
- Giannis practically broke Kyrie's foot man damn
Even he himself got his knee overextended!
Anyway looking forward for 2022grafician - btw congrats to Middleton, that man single handedly carried the Bucks to the Finals and then somegrafician
- yeah Middleton's performance was unfortunately overshadowed by Giannis' epic play but it should not be discounted in the slightest._niko
- Yeah Lakers fans can't make injury excuses. Bron is getting up there, AD always gets hurt, and Kuzma is.. Kuzma.garbage
- Giannis was not getting denied. Him freaking out on the phone with his brother was amazing.garbage
- Kuzma is garbage.grafician
- Chris Paul is already in trading rumours for the Lakers btw hehehegrafician
- Oh and even Caruso can lock up Giannis anytime, he did it before, no problemografician
- anyone other than brooklyn is fine by me.showpony
- Yeah, there are also Westbrook rumors. As long as they don't get Dame, I'm fine with it.garbage
- But it's Portland, so you know they're gonna fuck it up somehow.garbage

was this posted in the video games thread?
The next gen 2k looks insane.- Would rather play real bball than play that shit lolgrafician
- well... yeah obviously. But still you don't always have access to a court.Al_dizzle
- why not both?SteveJobs
- mates here we used to stay up late till 4-5am and watch NBA then skip school and go out play bball all day, no game can give u that moodgrafician
- same. in school we'd play all day, and then after dinner we'd go over to a friends house and play nba live '9X on the giant tv set. good memories there too!SteveJobs
- There should be a game mode in which you play Xi Jinping trying to knock Adam Silver into a dunk tank.MondoMorphic
- @mondo Ugh dude, your jokes are so bad.garbage
- @Mondo I get that, but your delivery is bad :))grafician
- EA can fuck right off. They put zero effort into nearly everything, and charge full price.section_014

- PonyBoy1
- Sure, but it's gonna be Lakers next yeargrafician
- fuck bostongrafician
- What team changes are they gonna make at LA that you think will give them a chance? Aside from coach.BuddhaHat
- They’re going to develop young talent that they’ve acquired through the draft and in 3-4 years they’ll be a contender. Just kidding they’ll buy a bunch of mercs_niko
- Like harden, durant, and Zion and give “king” James another title. Clown organization._niko
- 100% KD doesn't go to the Lakers. He had a chance and passed on it in 2019, and remember the toxic comments.garbage
- Really pulling for the Celts this year. Torn though, love the Warriors team.noRGB
- All I have to say is Al Horford. I don't have a dog in the fight, but I do have a Gator. Holy shit, what a fun game. Wtt happened to Tatum though?garbage
- Celtics game 3...no fair play, hm?oey_oey
- _niko2
Yawn. Wow another lakers team stacked with mercenaries win a tiltle how exciting. Mucho great for the nba all hail the king, he’s won his fourth title to go along with his 7 finals losses.
Imagine he played in Jordan’s era where Isaiah trying to be headwear and rodman kicking you in the nuts is considered a clean play lol
- He’s the kid at gym class who picks all his jock friends and whines and cries if they start losing. Fuck him and his dumb hair._niko
- lol thank you _niko for reminding us that we played on the shoulders of others!grafician
- see you next year man, and we will beat your team too lolgrafician
- Impossible, my team’s Olympiakos lol_niko
- oh you in Cali, so is that the Clippers? They chocked!grafician
- oh I can beat the fucking Olympiakos myself then lol byegrafician
- Lol. But Not Cali, Canada and what Leonard pulled off last year was a Herculean task, something we’ll savour for a long, long time._niko
- savour this Lakers win til then, if not, I'll travel to Canada & kick your ass courtesy of Bron & Kobe & Co. 'till you consider ant races your favourite sportgrafician
- and make no mistake, I will crush your balls just like Isaiah, old school modafucka lolgrafician
- Lol whatever man, make sure you dust off your old Gheorghe Mureșan jersey when you come visit!_niko
- gtfo here with your lazy hate lolgrafician
- and stop fucking googling Ghita Muresan's tshirt fool, lol he was not our best player evergrafician
- Only guy I remember, did hagi play basketball too? Lol_niko
- only guy you remember? you don't even know where Romania is on the fucking map, go sleep it off lolgrafician
- if you're in Canada better make sure the Raptors make it the Eastern Finals next year, fool!grafician
- Of course I know where Romania is, you erected that huge statue of Nick Galis’ nuts in your town squares! Lol this is getting obscure and ridiculous._niko
- Miss me with that bullshit, you have no idea, grown man hating on a team's achievements because of what? You only have the Raptors, they lost this year, gtfografician
- btw I;m not even hating on you or something, you're just too bitter man, enjoy a win, enjoy a loss, life is more than sports lol go sleep it offgrafician
- Lol nah man I don’t give a shit, I’m just fucking around, barely care for sports anymore and definitely don’t hate lebron, just like trolling him :)_niko
- well this was for Kobe, and we will do it again next year, here's to the Game, cheers!grafician
- Bit of early morning Monday bashing, eh?pseud

- you guys are funny.Beeswax

anybody on this season yet?
a) ben simmons drama is hilarious & continues
b) the lakers are falling apart due to terrible off-season moves, and lebron is finally mortal
c) bulls look like good dark-horse contenders if it weren't for the warriors back in full-on destroy mode
most importantly,
d) new rules seem to be having a positive effect overall in the game being clamped down on offense, much more even and disrupting a lot of players who relied on foul calls to control tempo / get easy points
- i had originally thought the lakers would be better but they just cannot get any team flow together, plus no defensive effort even with the new rulescolin_s
- Interested to see if Klay coming back messes with the chemistry the Dubs have developed. Obviously they practice with him n all, but ya never know...duckseason
- The bulls are surprising and it'll be interesting to see if they can carry this momentum throughout the season.duckseason
- I'm loving the new rule change, but I wish they called it "The Harden Rule". The Lakers don't surprise me, because they built a very old squad.garbage
- AD is 28, but has the durability of someone a decade older. I'm liking the Bulls as well. Who would have fucking thought that Lonzo would be able to function..garbage
- ..once his dad was scraped aside. As for Klay, he can plug right in and it will just make a wider floor. I'm a devout Warriors hater just for their bandwagon..garbage
- ..fans, but Klay is up there in my favorite players. Go Blazers / Free Dame.garbage
- My favourite thing so far this year was Jokers body check from behind lol_niko
- That was amazing, and Morris had it coming.garbage
- Not a single mention of the Suns? Get outta here! For real though one of the more balanced years in a whilenoRGB
- I had a comment about the Suns typed out. Guess I forgot to click save ¯\_(ツ)_/¯duckseason
- C'mon man, don't jinx the Suns when they're killing it. Book is now out on a 17 win streak.garbage

- @utopian what lol he has some of the most clutch shots in recent nba historycolin_s
- How many playoff game clutch shots?
How many championships clutch shots?utopian - BTW - I didn't downvote this.utopian
- I'm rooting for the Blazers mos Def. I'm really a fan of this team since Lillard stepped in.oey_oey

i am so amped about bowling this year. fucking love picking up a spare....
- hahahah!!PonyBoy
- I actually like bowling.Jaline
- Bowling is fun. Especially drinking and bowling.flavorful
- Wii Bowling too but I like real bowling every once in awhile.flavorful
- who doesn't drink when they bowl????!!?!?!? i love bowling; big ball, or candle pin...madirish
- I don't drink. Also, Wii bowling is lots of fun too.Jaline
- "who doesn't drink when they bowl????!!?!?!?"
< --- haha.flavorful - last time i went bowling, i was the only one drinking. like i was the alcoholic in the group or something. kinda awkward.Antonelli
- I'm fine if you drink, madirish. All the better to take advantage...Jaline

I'm not bothered. Was pulling for Boston out of spite because I hate GSW bandwagon fans.
Here in Seattle there were tons of legit Curry jerseys tossed into Goodwills because they had a slump. They probably don't even know who Baron Davis is.
But I love Klay. Hopefully someday Klay will teach Steph how to have a personality. Also a good ring for Wiggs, happy for him.
- Yup - same as the bandwagon, front-runner Laker fans...all frauds! Especially when they aren't from or never visited either cities, fucking ass clowns!utopian
- ^madddpinkfloyd
- @uto We have a bunch of bay area tech folk up here, but it was comical how quickly they grabbed gear and then dropped it.garbage
- Steph Curry doesn't have a personality? You're talking garbage garbage. You're free to do it but it's still garbage.oey_oey
- If you say so. Wardell is 100% a basketball robot. He's pre-programmed with corny Christian answers. It's fine, he's reaching GOAT status.garbage
- But let me tell you this, I agree if you tell me that Klay shows to be cooler as a person.oey_oey
- Aside from all the general "Klay comes across as a human being you'd wanna hang out with"?garbage
- Two injury comparisons:garbage
- Klay got knocked out for two years. Smoked a ton of weed, made a ton of amazing IG posts, and learned to sail.garbage
- Curry sprained his ankle in a Sunday morning church jog with Mark Jackson, and allowed himself to have his shoes removed and..garbage
- ..heels annointed with oil in front of the congregation. He also is working on getting into the Christian family cartoon industry.garbage
- So yeah, I think I'd rather hang out with Klay. He's not an over-the-top God botherer.garbage
- Klay provoked Lebron publicly when 3-1 up. Then when he lost the finals he didn't even shake anyone's hand and stormed off the locker room, just sayingloool
- colin_s1
lakers with lebron and anthony davis in playoff mode are fucking scary ... i was busy so i didn't watch game 1 vs denver in full, but every time i looked up anthony davis wasn't on the floor. i thought maybe he was hurt and i was out of the loop, then i just see that they basically didn't need him because he was so dominant.
exhaustion i think is going to be a major factor from here on out - denver is wiped after two 7 game series and miami/boston will probably go to 6 or 7 unless the celtics mentally collapse.
still though the NBA bubble has been one of the few spaces of relief over the past six months
- Agreed on the bubble. My previous prediction of Lakers in 6 is knocked down to 5. DEN got rattled early on, started missing easy buckets.garbage
- Didn't help that going into the second half Jokic, Murray and Milsap all had 3 fouls. Also Dwight didn't play at all in the Houston series, so he came out hot.garbage
- considering this an actual nba season? lol this season is a joke. and they gonna start another in November? okjaylarson
- @jay i bet they delay the next season, maybe open w/new yearscolin_s
- They barely having the new Draft by Xmas, so the next season is def pushed to 2021grafician
- @jay There's gonna be an asterisk by this season, but it's been great bball. Plus Jimmy is selling coffee from his room, and somebody in the bubble is startinggarbage
- a rival coffee shop. BIG FACE COFFEE all day. https://twitter.com/…garbage
- I see 0-3 tonight for Celtics and Lakers are starting Dwight, so imagine the damage to the Nuggets not getting in the paint...grafician
- grafician0
"Lakers dip the Nuggets in ketchup" 1-0 already, Rondo and Dwight really put in work, AD with 37...I really don't see Nuggets having an answer, but sure, the series is still early.
Meanwhile Celtics 0-2 with Heat, really struggling to end games, if the Heat keep the pressure, I don't see Celtics recovering from 0-3
- boston might not come back, miami has that cindarella story (ok or pretty woman more appropriately) thing going and boston's still pretty youngcolin_s
- Stephen A. has a very good point...
https://www.youtube.…grafician - and also some insights from Dame about the Lakers/Nuggets here: https://www.youtube.…grafician
- Like I said last month...where is the ultimate clutch shooter Lillard now? He will not show up when it counts.utopian
- @utopian, he did man, but the other team was bettergrafician
- ^ exactlyoey_oey
- Nuggets in ketchup? Has this person even had nuggetsnb
- @utopian portland's entire roster wasn't healthy until the bubble. blazers will be legit next year. also lillard was easily the bubble MVPcolin_s
- ^ thisoey_oey

Lakers - Celtics in the Finals?
- Yesjmckinno
- probably, though this heat team is good.colin_s
- Probably but Denver are really motivated and are a TEAM. The Heat are also a TEAM. So lets see. But Denver vs Heat would be really nice.oey_oey
- The matchup of the 80’s!_niko
- LAKERS ARE THE TEAM LOLgrafician
- ^ yes they are THE TEAM I get it. And LeBron been playing like hell.oey_oey
- BusterBoy3
Steph Curry is a great player...but fuck he comes across as a whiney little trash talking turd at times.
Probably just me though.
- colin_s1
lol suns
milwaukee got what they deserved for dodging the nets
mavs aren't a solid matchup for the dubs but miami/boston oughta be an outstanding series.
- Luka angry ball is my favorite atm. https://i.imgur.com/…garbage
- doncic is interesting..he could drop 45rootlock
- No idea what to expect from that series because the Warriors are in death mode.garbage
- No dog in the fight, so I'm rooting for a Dallas Luka v Miami Butler Finals.garbage
- Giannis had a series for the ages and still lost. They really missed Middleton._niko
- Giannis first player to amass 200 points, 100 rebounds and 50 assists in a single playoff series_niko

Blowout score for game 7 Mavs v Suns, I thought the Suns would get there. Anyone else surprised at who's left for the finals?
- Mavs were on fireMondoMorphic

D. Lillard & Trail Blazers choke again, LOL

Bam and Goran still out tonight due to injuries...
It's still early, but.
- I guess they will win this one toooey_oey
- They got this, but next year, with the Warriors and the Nets rising again, hope we see some competitiongrafician
- Sure, Lakers will crush them again, 'cuz Bron and AD smell blood in the water and they're coming for all the ringsgrafician
- It was over after game one. This is the first Finals I haven't watched since Spurs / Nets. I love Bron, but I can't watch JGB get put down like a dog.garbage
- Welp, there's egg on my face.garbage
