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

i dont mind bron or anyone else coasting during the regular season, its the smart thing to do, its the sytem thats fd

I can't emphasize how great Adams reactions are to these thrown punches/elbows. I actually literally love him for this.

Hah Steven Adams gets under everyone's skin and he's so stoic about it.

"I'm getting more confident, but the ball doesn't help me," Antetokounmpo said. "If the ball goes in, I will get more confident.

"But the ball doesn't go in."

he's pretty physical and oafish at times

he also has a great sense of humor, wonder if he's been dropping some painful zings out there

i'll give Bron credit for toning down the complaining/flopping that he used to do

Yeah I've played w dudes like this who are always like ELBOWS UP, FUNDAMENTALS but they always rock you hard with bows and bumps and keep it cool and its v infruritaing. Also dudes who play in open gym that like hustle beyond belief and full court press by themselves and get all up in you but then are like "what, me? just playing chill defense here what's the issue".

will email giannis about travelling with the ball seems a good idea

great steven adams videos. and now that they do have a center the coach doesnt play him !!!!

he didnt untie anything

alec burks with 34 points on 19 shots.

knicks have won 5 straight ;)

and nothing happened before 1980 or so, so that's it

not so; celtics won about 85 consecutive championships so . . .

When I repeatedly watch that JR Smith video I like to hear the sound of Bruce Lee going "WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" in my head.

not a great loss for the nuggs tonight

lol classic melo performance tonight -- 16 rebs and 29 points on 9-24 shooting.

#1 in FGA, #73 in FG%

FGA per game I mean

Also dudes who play in open gym that like hustle beyond belief and full court press by themselves and get all up in you but then are like "what, me? just playing chill defense here what's the issue".

i am basically this guy and i'm still surprised by how much it pisses people off, especially if they don't respect me on offence

i'll give Bron credit for toning down the complaining/flopping that he used to do

lol busted, undie

http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2014/1/14/5305228/anthony-bennett-rookie-season-statistics-cleveland-cavaliers

the cavs are so ass my god

ooof

they were supposed to be kinda good and exciting!

Worst coach in the league doesn't help.

there's something going on with Bennett, whether it's the yips, mental health issues or whatever. You could pick up some D3 players and they wouldn't look worse.

it reminds me a little of Darko's rookie season when he would have those unusually embarrassing 10 second stints in blowouts.

yeah bennett is actually almost impossibly bad

yeah hes very bad even for like a 6 pick, which he easily couldve been

'13 draft is looking very bad

guess it didnt help that 3 prospective 10 ten players waited til this year

also noel hasnt played

he's bad for, like, a number 26 pick

hes bad for a d league reserve

he doesn't LOOK like the worst player ever, but when all you do is shoot bricks every time you touch it you are in effect the worst player ever. Tskitishvili is a comparison, but Skita played like 5 minutes in the season before he got drafted and Bennett was one of the best players in the NCAA.
