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

pj tucker is an A+ pickup, really useful

knicks fall to bobcats at home ;)

they need to figure out what they're doing with their perimeter D, they just get torched by any semi-quick guard

though maybe kemba is just unstoppable at MSG

kemba remains probably my favorite guy that i'm not sure i've ever actually seen play

LOL knicks in this!

nvrmnd missed free throw

Monta and Dirk is a pretty sweet combo, and Calderon is a good complement to his skills I think

damn, harden on the break

nuggs are a late-game disaster

calderon is kinda secretly amazing at basketball and gets no love from anyone

Tony Parker just got called for an offensive foul because he flailed his arms in a flop attempt

the silver lining in this Nuggets ongoing disaster is that the Mozgov deal looks like a solid move

Randy Foye: crunchtime SF

wow that ty-faried break

Nuggets just seem lethargic and out of it, at every position basically

calderon never played in a good team =/

Tyson Chandler X-rays "inconclusive"

The Western Conference has 9 teams over .500, the East has 3.

myers leonard is the most hilarious person to me, dude does not know how to play basketball

wow harden should be suspended for that flop

yeah that was something alright

meyers leonard could be just the guy to poke dwight in the eye while flailing for a rebound. could be even more effective than hack-a-dwight strategy.

i'm kinda pissed meyers isn't getting more playing time this year b/c i love to watch his crazy body jump around with no real aim or timing

paul george is averaging 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals this year on 52% shooting from the field and 45% shooting from three

with all-world defense on the wing #supermax

PEDs obv

PG is playing out of his mind yeah, as is Eric Bledsoe who went 10-12 last night to help the Suns to a 3-1 record.

wow, NBA tells rose to stop wearing the neck tape

knicks are really going to suck, lol

Melo will shoulder the burden of winning by averaging 36ppg... while averaging 55 attempts.

the horse has long left the barn, enjoy your 20-82 season

They should have just promoted an assistant and told them to run the same shit but try not to choke in the playoffs like GK

''This season, though, the Pacers go on (TV) automatically because you never know when George might turn into a more athletic version of peak Tracy McGrady.''

his game is pretty diff than tmac's no?

i mean the way basketball is played in the nba is totally diff as well but

That's some bleacher-report-level prose right there

they just look vaguely similar and play on the wing is about it

oh and he's approaching t-mac scoring levels i suppose

calderon is kinda secretly amazing at basketball and gets no love from anyone

i confused him and juan carlos navarro for years which sounds bad but they were both on bad teams so i mostly only saw them on the spanish national team where they usually played as two combo guards or subbed for each other, plus they're almost the same size and usually rocked a similar haircut and semi-beard

but then calderon had that sick free throw streak

if you'd told me a couple years ago that pg would be averaging nearly 30 ppg in the near-future I would have paid close attention to the rest of what you said b/c I like to listen to crazy people talk

turns out I'm the crazy one, who knew

Whoa that Denver article... Shaw sounds like he got rusty waiting on the bench to take over the lakers and the league passed him by. Sure initiate your offense by throwing it inside to your big men when your big men are 2009 Bynum and Pau when you have Kobe to bail them out if need be- don't throw it inside first when your main big is Javale and no one on your roster knows how to post up

Also duh yr in Denver play fast dummy

On the other hand that roster isn't good so might as well lose as many games as possible.

Bucks' Larry Sanders out after off-court incident and will not play Wed. Coach Larry Drew said "right now it's under investigation."
