in these, the waning days of stern: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 1)

so many twins and bros in the league these days

MARKIEEEEEEEEEEEFF

I'm kinda into this Suns team! Plumlee & Morris twins big surprises so far.

+ Gerald Green

they beat portland on opening night and plumlee looked like a star that night

He's been pretty consistent so far.

idk kind of a fun underdog team. Gotta bring them back on as my 2nd team since the nugz became unwatchable.

rolo and cousins almost got into it. boogie still my favorite lunatic in the league.

he's got 35 and 9 with ~3 minutes to go btw

yeah he is pretty fun

and at least it seems like he enjoys playing unlike bynum

man pacers just takin care of business gunnin for that #1 east seed

Pachulia has to buy the floor from the Bradley Center Sports and Entertainment Corporation, not the Bucks, and the two sides are still talking. But everyone is optimistic the floor will end up in Pachulia's Georgia. Pachulia will allow only cautious optimism, because he tried to work the same deal with the Hawks when Atlanta changed floors a few years ago, only to see things fall through in the end, he says. As soon as he heard the Bucks would switch floors, he asked ownership and his own team of advisers if it might be possible to try again.

"This is my dream," Pachulia says. "I want to make this happen. It would be really exciting for me, and for the kids in Georgia, to have a chance to play on an NBA floor. So many superstars have played on that court, from the Bucks and other teams."

D:

ha thats kinda awesome

hawks would've been better tho going from georgia the state to georgia the country

*BREAKING* celtics veterans are hazing kelly olynyk!!

And just minutes after helping the Celtics to their second consecutive triumph, Olynyk headed out of the shower and heard the loud voice of a teammate still washing up. The veteran needed a towel and it was the rookie’s responsibility to make sure he was layered with them as he exited the shower.

There were no pats on the back, fist bumps, or handshakes. Olynyk was back to his rookie status, which included taking Rajon Rondo’s personal bag to the team bus. Olynyk’s rookie experience has been action-packed so far. He has played at least 22 minutes in each of the last four games.

helping the celtics to their second consecutive triumph by shooting 4-17

if utah drafts the right guy ..

they will maybe win a game

hibbert face up shot is legit

ok I guess the Jazz are just straight up terrible, oh well

lol jordan crawford with the 30-footer buzzer shot over lebron

Lance Stephenson | SG | RFA
2013-14 team: Indiana'13-14 salary: $930,000'14-15 AAV: $4.5
AGE: 23PPG: 8.8RPG: 3.9APG: 2.9

Granger's injury setbacks are bad news for Indiana, but good news for Stephenson, who gets to continue to start at shooting guard for the Pacers and test the limits of his talents when playing as the main offensive option in the second unit. There's an opportunity for him to really increase his market value, but I wouldn't budge past a four-year, $18 million deal.

no way he signs for this $

the sixers really might not be that bad this season, amazingly

it seems like evan turner might have seriously improved?

yeah he looks great, idk

lebron is having an awful couple of minutes

couple of terrible shots, can't stop bradley 1-on-1 on a fast break, out-of control offensive foul

lol rashard lewis just made humphries fall

paul pressey's kid is making some plays

really tired of brandon bass

i don't think hibbert has made a single hook shot

lebron, being guarded in the corner by kelly olynyk, dribbles off himself and out of bounds.

one thing about this year's celtics, they do not play boring games

man lebron having an "off" night and he's 8/11

i thought about making a poll about whether lebron would shoot 60% this year but thought it was too ridiculous. now i'm not so sure

wow wade what an idiot

OMG OMG OMG

looooooooool

O
M
G

heat totally deserved to lose that game

yeah they dicked around for large portions of that one

gerald wallace is going to drive me nuts this season but that was one hell of an inbounds pass

i don't really understand this celtics team at all but they seem to play hard

Darren Collison3:01 LA Clippers LAC Personal foul on Darren Collison
3:02 Houston HOUDwight Howard defensive rebound
3:02 LA Clippers LACDeAndre Jordan misses the second free throw
3:02 LA Clippers LACDeAndre Jordan misses the first free throw
3:02 Houston HOUPersonal foul on Jeremy Lin

wow mclemore just had a sick block on dorell wright that was erroneously ruled a goaltend

lol will the heat lose to every tanking team this year

they shot 57% and lost how

their defense was terrible, also it seemed like they got killed on the glass but i didn't look at the #s

yeah 11-4 offensive board advantage

yeah i just mean the heat shot 57% and lost to a team that purposely gutted its roster in the offseason to get a high draft pick
