Hoops Receipts

@Matchhunter44 @RealSkipBayless That’s quite telling.

@HoopsReceipts @RealSkipBayless I do . So fuck off!!

If he truly had prioritized winning over ego and greed, LeBron James would've started taking the veteran minimum a long time ago. Now he might be forced to, if he wants to keep living year-round in LA and finish as a Laker.

@broder87475 @EthicalHoopz Sorry you’re so depressed little guy. Hope things get better for you.

@HoopsReceipts @EthicalHoopz Just end your own at this point sir, this dickriding is absolutely wild. Much appreciated dickass

The Oklahoma City Thunder lost the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander minutes by 7 (would’ve been more without intentional fouls) They won the bench minutes by 12 Shai shot 15 free throws The story of his career: carried by his super team and the refs

@Deva_stater I thought Duncan was a fun watch in this video.

@HoopsReceipts What’s the difference between him and everything the OwkLahoMo Thunda players do? FrootyBall

please watch Duncan Robinson

@SACryptoBull @hoopstonite @_JasonLT @TheVolumeSports Except there are metrics that quantify the exact two-way impact he’s talking about, and SGA led Wemby in every one of them in the 2025-26 season.

@hoopstonite @_JasonLT @TheVolumeSports Thats a fair take its him and Giannis in that category very clear of everyone else

“In terms of two-way impact, Victor Wembanyama is already the best player in the world”

@_JasonLT - there are literally metrics that do exactly this. And SGA is above Wemby in all of them. (SGA led Wemby in PER, WS/48, Box Plus/Minus, and Value Over Replacement Player) Do you not understand how analytics work? Do you realize how dumb this argument is when it can literally be disproven on its one and only basis by every single stat that encapsulates offensive and defensive impact as one number?

Being the best basketball player in the world is about more than just pure two-way impact in a vacuum, and he’ll have to beat Shai next round to get the recognition… … but nobody is touching Wemby in overall two way impact on winning right now.

@JayKillmer @RealSkipBayless Caring ≠ respect. I care that he’s an idiot with a platform. Hence my comment.

@HoopsReceipts @RealSkipBayless You seem to care enough to make a comment. You’re feeding into it man! You show you don’t care by ‘not’ making a comment, yet you did, and millions of others did as well in the NBA universe. Ha

@Deva_stater @RealSkipBayless I don’t communicate with simpletons who can’t spell basic words. Find the corner of twitter with people befitting of your intelligence level.

@HoopsReceipts @RealSkipBayless But somehow your here

Ok we’re getting somewhere here. 1) affects ≠ diminished > that’s a very clear non sequitur to the conclusion being debated. Nobody disagrees teams were affected. 2) the facts you just laid out were an objective disadvantage to the Lakers, due to them losing home court advantage (hence my referencing them as the only 1 seed to win a title in American pro sports history without home court advantage). Do you agree with one or either of those statements?

@HoopsReceipts @stoolpresidente Yes facts matter. The facts are that a neutral court affects play for all teams involved. No travel affects play for all teams involved. No fans affects play for all teams involved. Shortened season affects all teams involved. This championship will always be an anomaly.

I’ve never been the biggest Lebron fan but anybody saying his career as a Laker so far hasn’t been a major flop is doing a disservice to LeBron. Obviously we’re not counting the micky mouse And 1 Bubble tournament as a real title. So we’re judging him on just his ability to make the playoffs for a cup of coffee? To never be a real threat? Meanwhile MJ and Russell were winning titles at his age not just being cannon fodder for their opponents. So out of respect for LeBron and his legacy I refuse to describe his time in LA as anything other than a complete and utter failure. After all this was his longest consecutive tenure with any team and he didn’t win a title. He’s basically Clyde Drexler or Karl Malone Great players in their own right that never won. LeBron doesn’t even make the roster of all time Laker greats. It’s an insult to his legacy and the legacy of a top 5 player of all time to say his tenure in LA was successful. Although I suppose if he truly was a top 5 all time player would have probably won in LA right? Hmm. Tough to wrap my brain around it.

I’m an OKC fan. Not even a LeBron is the best player ever guy. That photo is simply one of my favorite moments of the NBA crossing over into popular culture. Back to the point: I am literally trying to have an impartial argument purely based on metric-driven evidential bases - this is another attempt at a red herring.

@HoopsReceipts @stoolpresidente This is your background. I know why you’re arguing. Stop acting like you are some impartial scientific judge without any biased angle.

@DandyChigginsMD @stoolpresidente 2) how is the metric of validity measured? Is it binary? Is it a scale with a threshold that crosses into acceptable territory?

@DandyChigginsMD @stoolpresidente Okay let’s break this down analytically. 1) What makes a championship valid? Name the parameters necessary, and the evidential basis behind adding those parameters so we can review and apply them to each season. Opinions don’t matter - only facts and math do.

The ones who posit parameters that do absolutely nothing to prove their argument, then point to said parameters and say, “see?!” There is not one single valid point you’ve made that discounts the 2020 title, because it was played on an even playing ground, which *OBJECTIVELY* favors every team except the 1 seed. The burden of proof in this case doesn’t fall on the normal people, it falls on the people like you, yet your entire argument boils down to “trust me bro me and my friends all agree.”

@HoopsReceipts @MOTF_NBA @stoolpresidente What’s my ilk? The ones who tell the truth instead of make excuses?

@BDMBucks @HumanDerek @NovaSportsReal 1) I’m a fan of the entire NBA, not one player, because I’m not a child. 2) I could give you buckets in any gym at any point, and 3) I guarantee you I’ve watched more NBA basketball this season than you’ve watched in your entire life.

@HoopsReceipts @HumanDerek @NovaSportsReal It’s typical Jokic fans, they don’t enjoy the game, and they think they know everything. Using math to watch basketball is depressing

I never thought I’d see the day when the NBA was titled so far as to be rigged… ha, just kidding But seriously, I never thought I’d see the day when the NBA would use that rig AGAINST the Los Angeles Lakers Esp for the smallest domestic market there is in the US This should be seen for the shot across the bow it already was long before, however ignored/swept under in the name of market differentials until now Do we think the League has gotten so brazen that it no longer cares if it rocks the big boat? Or do we think this is maybe the reason the series was not allowed to be prolonged… as attention spans fade when focus is ended?

@BarstoolBigCat Leave the basketball takes to the ball knowers, big man. You don’t know the NBA, that’s okay. Most casuals don’t.

Blocking a 3 like that. 👽

@Imtough88 @LoneWolfBets @fistfightreels @stoolpresidente Okay little guy. If that makes you feel better.

@HoopsReceipts @LoneWolfBets @fistfightreels @stoolpresidente Twice is spamming? Holy shit you’re such a fucking loser in real life haha I can tell

@Imtough88 @LoneWolfBets @fistfightreels @stoolpresidente This was a much better attempt! Spamming the fag button exposes your IQ.

@HoopsReceipts @LoneWolfBets @fistfightreels @stoolpresidente Keep dancing monkey

@Imtough88 @LoneWolfBets @fistfightreels @stoolpresidente At least you have laughter. Impoverished simpletons need something to look forward to.

@HoopsReceipts @LoneWolfBets @fistfightreels @stoolpresidente I’m legitimately laughing at how fucking stupid you are. It’s so cringe. Fucking jester

@DandyChigginsMD @stoolpresidente Those are seriously the parameters of your argument? What are you, 10 years old?

@HoopsReceipts @stoolpresidente If those teams had their season shortened 2/3 of the way through, all moved to a resort and played on a neutral court with no fans and cardboard cut outs in the stands, then yes 😂

@GlobeBobRyan @ednoymer @burneystweets @JeffNadu You guys should probably hang it up before your mental decline becomes more obvious. Bob - people used to respect you. Now you’re just an embarrassment that we laugh about in our group chats.
