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

houston looking p good w parsons at the 4 btw

this comeback was so completely inevitable

lol harden a practitioner of the swipe from behind after getting blown by move of course, shd just automatically be called a foul because it always is

i had a friend who did that all the time and we were always like stop doing that its always a foul just play defense and we werent even in the nba

dwights ft form is just spectacular, i want to call it a two handed topsipn shot

brandon roy-esque worthless late-game iso and 17 footer from harden there, maddening.

lol the people upstairs are lakers fans apparently and they were just v disappointed in that play

oh now they are happy

Steve. Blake.

lol steve blake you go you lil guy

someone just yelled STEVE BLAKE

first time for everything

p sure i heard another voice say who

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 38s
The Blake Mamba? Is that a thing?

steve blake is the definition of so not baller

la 16-35 from three

netw3rk ‏@netw3rk 22s
"Man, great shot. It's too bad we didn't have you last year." "I was here last year, Kobe."

Lol this game. Harden gave up like 12 uncontested drives to the hoop tonight.

Haha xp

Rockets and Clippers huh

was blake's game-winner harden's fault? seems as likely as not.

Looked like Lin and Bev forgot to switch

@mcten 18m
In the style of his old coach, Don Nelson, Nash cracked open a Miller Lite in the locker room after a well-earned road victory

That's the impression that I get as well.

need some ILHer perspective up in here

can i again point out the diantoni magic is working, some games theyll get blown out and others they will beat teams they have no business beating cause of magical diantoni 3ptrs

yeah its almost like 3 pointers are good shots to take

Lol this game. Harden gave up like 12 uncontested drives to the hoop tonight.

to harden's credit he never took his eyes off the ball

carne how do you feel about this Laker team?

i agree with lagoon. the diantoni magic is working well with this group. Nash in still ancient so if you get anything out of him it's a plus. Pau has a little run left in him and he looks healthy. lol nick young.love Jordan Hill's game and the bench has some athletes.

will Kobe come back and not be a total disruption and ball stopper with limited ability or play more the Grant Hill roll in diantoni's system??? haha yeah right!!

basically they will be fun to watch but struggle to make the playoffs and lose in the first round.

unlike last year where they were miserable to watch, struggled to make the playoffs and lost in the first round.

is there any really good reason for leaving Howard in the game when they start fouling. why not just put Asik in? he can hit enough FTs to make the tactic worthless, and you'd be hard pressed to argue that there's any drop off in defense at all.

like what's the rationale for letting the other team pull such a "stop hitting yourself!" move when you have a perfectly viable alternative lineup?

not to hurt his feeling

i mean, that's it right?

Using that logic, you would leave howard on the bench most of the time, except to give asik short rests.

howard shooting ~60% this year is plenty good to make hacka untenable if he can keep it up

lmfao that harden gif he looks stoned
