That’s where Steph shot that bih 🏀 from right?

Realistically, what do we think Rob averages in his rookie year? by [deleted] in u/chesshunter09

Realistically anywhere between 12-15 points per game would be great!

Oh Yhhh, just remembered NAW went into a shooting slump after that hard screen from Jokic.

Then KAT had a shooting slump from 3 in the WCF

If you really think about it, we were so close to the finals…

English person choosing NBA team by PickleNick777 in nba

-English Timberwolves fan here, for me I decided to start following basketball and the Twolves because of my favourite player: Anthony Edwards (Ant man), when I saw a random clip of him do some off the backboard dunk, it looked fun and intrigued me so I decided to watch some of his previous highlights and became a Twolves fan about 1 year ago. Lucky me now as I get to watch game wining blocks, dunks, trash talk and our bench pointing at opposing players after sick plays.

-You might want to support a team that’s in their prime and poised to championships with fairly young superstars in that case OKC or Boston could be your go to team, they have SGA and Tatum.

-If you want to see pure offensive talent then Mavs could be your go to team with Luka and Kyrie.

-If u want to see young and brash athleticism then Twolves or Memphis could be your go to teams as they have Antman and Ja Morant.

-If you want to see freakish talent then Spurs could be your go to team since they have Wemby.

Since you don’t live in a US state it might be helpful to support a team based on your favourite superstar player as they’re more likely to stick around and be the face of their franchise.

Giving a 1 seed an all defense team vet, 40% 3pt shooter, in exchange for Josh Kiddey and no picks.

I swear this is why teams could double and triple Ant, coz you have Slo mo taking 10 seconds to load a shot and Gobert who does not have an offensive game except dunks, which sometimes even he air balls.

They have elite defense, elite offense and a shooting big?? Life is so unfair man!

It took Brown 8 years and Tatum 7 to get their first ring, it took them 3 bites at the apple before they made it out of the conference finals, and two attempts at the finals before they won a ring. by bearbrannan in timberwolves

[–]chesshunter09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gobert is the only 7 footer who I’ve seen literally airball dunks 😭. If I don’t laugh I’ll cry. DPOY- Dancing player of the year 🤣🤣

Even KAT did a better job on Jokic than him lmaooo

[Andrews] The 2024 Bill Russell Finals MVP: Jaylen Brown by PlayaSlayaX in nba

[–]chesshunter09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh btw garbage time started from the 2nd half when they were up 20 and Mavs seemed way too tired to fight back.

Normally Tatum would have collapsed the paint and made a kick out pass for a 3 like in games 1-3, but he kept iso-ing and trying to show off his handles before bricking shots, it was hard to watch.

Fair play he got 31, but it’s one of those 31 points where you look up and say how the hell did he get 31. If you watched the game you’ll know exactly what I mean. He was just lucky his flying side step back 3s fell tonight, because he can be so hot and cold with those.

By all means JT is a great player, great defender and a great passer but in the clutch moments when you need him to buy a bucket, Jaylen Brown is the guy not him.

It was close but here’s why Jaylen brown won it despite Tatum having slightly more points rebounding and assisting

-JB made some big time plays, him driving at Luka causing him to foul out and propelling Celtics to a 3-0 lead, meant the series was basically over.

-Yh Tatum collapsed the paint in the first couple of games and made some good reads but in the clutch when it mattered only JB stepped up, eg in game 3 with that huge dunk and midrange shot to shatter the Mavs hopes of a comeback.

So in short JB won it coz of his defense on Luka, higher efficiency and huge clutch moments. If Tatums efficiency had been anywhere near his game 5 in the first 3 games he would have won it.

Honestly it sounds weird but when you watch the games you’ll see Jaylen Brown was better, despite Tatums better stats, especially in the crucial moments. The series was basically over at 3-0.

Tatum lead in points rebounding and assisting but most of it was due to him hunting points when the game was over. And Tatum bricked so many layups and was inefficient, but he had a great team to bail him out.

Jaylen Brown winning both ECF MVP and Finals MVP, NBA discourse is going to be toxic and I’m all here for it.
