The only answer to this phenomenon is to reduce the length of the season

Lol Teague

make it 25 games, then go to a western-conference and heat-v.-pacers-best-of-21 playoff bracket.

Russ injury should mean some solid and meaningful contributions from derek fisher, always a joy to see him out there on the hardwood

tellin yall, my plan will solve:
--play each team twice (58 games)
--top 16 in champ bracket (all best of 5 series)
--bottom 14 in lottery pool. play 4 乒乓 balls

Excellent use there. Well done

*curtsies*

"completely" torn pectoral for Horford

welp

jesus christ

whos even gonna make the playoffs in the east, this is getting serious

some team is gonna try real hard to tank and then have to play the heat in the first round

A 20 win team is bout to make the playoffs

spottie if you didn't have knee surgery i think you might have had a chance to come off the bench for the east in the all-star game

Oh def. haha

maaaaan, horford was ballin out this yr

that sucks for the hawks and my fantasy team which is boned now

There could be a stat category - most injured players per week

barnita had 9 rebounds at halftime

wizards really like corner 3s

L Sanders is back

Bradley Beal had a horrible leg injury apparently

Rudy Gay having one of those games that made a certain sportswriter write a very bad column

um so Curry had a triple double only two minutes into the 3rd quarter!

Rudy Gay's been kinda nine since being traded huh? Got his fg% for the season above 40% now at least.

kinda *nice

I think it's just variance.

@ESPNNBA: Cavs announce Andrew Bynum has been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.

Ahahaha the east

Cavs really salting the earth before inevitably cutting him before January 7th to save like $7m on Bynum's contract.

we will not rest until every player in the eastern conference is either injured declining or suspended

are the pacers gonna win the title this year by default just cause theyre the last existent nba team

Gonna be impossible for the Cavs to replace the 8/5 Bynum was sometimes giving them.

bynum apparently trying to leverage his way onto a good team, lol

maybe he just doesnt gaf tho

that was my initial impression but simmons just tweeted a bunch of insidery-sounding stuff about him wanting to play for lac, miami, or maybe the celtics

idk why the celtics would be in there

lol bring it

and ha i just unfollowed simmons yesterday for prob the fourth time

if he would just stick to nba/espn gossip

what was he talking about yesterday

ha i think it was the nicknaming that sent me over the edge

Bill Simmons ‏@BillSimmons 14h
I think I like Greek Freak more than anyone in the 2014 Draft. I'm not even kidding.

that nickname too is kinda gross imho

idk hes just so lame i hate him
