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

that should have been a 5 second call on afflalo

George Hill str8 jimmering

Been watching Dallas - Atlanta. Teague's gonna have an interesting season. Prob have to lead the team in points. Dirk's been doing some nice passing

timberwhites gonna be real fun this year

rain pourin (actual san antonio weather)
all my spurs is foreign
all my guards is scorin
patty's all like, "jordan!" *mimes shooting motion*

miles plumlee has 16 and 8 in 16 minutes.

i think draymond green is running point for the warriors right now

depending on what len can do this year the suns bench might be worse than portland's last year.

Suns bench might be worse than last year's Lackers.

they're letting this nuggz-kings game be really physical

I always thought Miles Plumlee was way more talented than Mason

worse than portland's last year

That's a difficult standard to surpass, tbf.

oh meant to say that it's totally awesome that channing frye is back after a pretty serious scare.

miles plumlee, really?

so dwight had 26 boards tonight

i don't get it, did faried bang shaw's daughter or something?

also ryan anderson is out 2-3 weeks all of a sudden?

they say toe injury maybe depressed

MANIMAL

if you're gonna liveblog the 40-42 nuggets this year you might need to start your own thread

:)

Mozgov having a pretty great game

Austin Rivers and Derrick Williams open up the season with DNP-CDs

they dropped beer in the court

well derrick williams got his option picked up so

klay thompson has 31 points on 12-14 shooting with 7 to go.

I think Austin Rivers got his option picked up too, hooray for sunk cost fallacy.

you can make the case based on this game that Hickson should be the starting C for the nuggz

liveblog: klay 15-19

I assume the starters in that GSW/LA game are done for the night?

Kevin Love looked fantastic btw, like he's finally all the way back from the hand injuries

@dmorey: all your rebound are belong to us

Klay Thompson you sexy man

Wade obviously the most important Heater.

he's at his best when he's on the bench.

How did this Laker team beat the Clips? Blowing my mind.

Im def interested in detroit this year

@ZachLowe_NBA: It has taken NY fans one game to sour on Bargnani. This has serious toxic fan-player relations potential.

*throws a log on the fire*

is that the only fan base where you have to deeply consider w each acquisition whether they will hate him

bargnani seems like a delicate flower who will be mashed and ground into the nyc pavement

they went 14-29 from 3. that'll happen probably 0 times again this year

any chance that spoelstra is borrowing from pop's rest-key-players-on-b2b's?

occam's razor says wade's knees are just permanently borked, prob

they're def putting wade on the pop sched but lol the dude is 31 he can play the second game of the season

sort of hate shaw already

@JasonCFriedman: A little extra perspective on Dwight Howard's monster rebounding night: During his 35 minutes of PT, HOU corralled > 46% of its missed shots

Lin looked pretty good last night. it's a cliche at this point, but he's such a great 6th man type player. comes off bench and is immediately attacking the basket.

yeah I saw that beverley only got 10 minutes of burn

looking at the rockets roster it seems kind of...topheavy

they def have some trades to make

they went 14-29 from 3. that'll happen probably 0 times again this year
