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

Love and matt barnes are the two best full court passers in the league by some distance

but barnes uses the baseball pass. love with the two hand push is seriously crazy, i could maybe make it to half court from where he was.

Sad i missed this game

Did Plumlee show much promise before this year?

Not really. He showed flashes in college but he was drafted in large part because of his absurd athletic testing results.

goes to show you what an overcoached joke college is. let the kids play!

and holy shit x 1000 at those bledsoe highlights

the Suns are sitting so pretty right now. FOUR PICKS in the first round of the upcoming draft and loads of money to play with.

pacers are a bubble

kev otm re college coaching

re: college ball. When the kids are paid zip and the coach is paid $500,000/yr, guess who's going to be calling the shots.

th coach?

wow bledsoe is really kinda a superstar

seeing the cp3 influence bigtime v intersting

complete player game highlights are my fav format i tihnk

he's gonna get paaaaaaaid

those bledsoe highlights are awesome too cos they had highlights from like the Plumlee block into a fast break and bledsoe pick into a g green windmill jam etc

its funny everyone was so skeptical of bledsoes per minute averages but bench players (if the sample size is big enogh) generally exceed their per minute averages when they start, i guess no one cld really believe bledsoe improved that much last year

i'm skeptical that he's this good a shooter but good player & good system for him

cf harden xp

Watching Horford and Milsap get to know each other has been fun. Two dudes who just work the entire time they're out there.

They both missed shots to tie in Denver on Thursday, but Al Horford and Paul Millsap were a problem for opponents last week, averaging a combined 45.0 points (on 55 percent shooting), 19.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 5.0 steals and 4.7 blocks in their three games. The Hawks have outscored their opponents by 11.2 points per 100 possessions in 141 minutes with the two on the floor together.

Three days later and I'm still shook by this

Damn

yeah its very dark

there's nothing really wrong with that. gilbert was amazing but then his knee blew up and his career ended.

also, like, harden's not gonna pull a gun on a teammate (i think)

baltimore has a chance to grab the six seed but their sched is pretty daunting

if they can beat the jets they'll have H2H over both miami and NYJ which would be interesting

whoops

true colors itt

he gets to the line a TON tho which makes up for average shooting (while young and athletic at least)

Bledsoe is awesome, I think the knocks were that he's a little short (basically irrelevant with his hops) and that he is more of a Westbrook type cannonball lane driver than pure point - also he suffered by comparison to cp3 in that score of course

He's really fun to watch and definitely a starting 1 in the league even with how deep that position is now

If that dude from the celtics that runs the suns basketball ops now is any good he could wreck shit over the next year with all those picks and the inevitable dragon trade

Dragic lol autocorrect

Could probably trade Channing frye to a contender this year too if he stays healthy and looks decent

Goran Dragon is a fresh name

8-9-8 in the first half for Lance Stephenson

Watch him fuck around and not get the trip dub.

just because i'll never get to type it again - jordan crawford triple-double watch

Plumlee coming into his own is killing me-- dude never looked awful coming in as a rookie but there just weren't that many minutes to give him. Pacers drafted him to take over Jeff Foster's role but getting Scola made more sense than developing Plumlee. Totally wouldn't be surprised if he became a solid 13/7 type guy.

Lance having so much fun ballin now that he's adjusted to NBA ballin.

rose hurt

How bad?

just came up limping a little after making a layup, the bulls were up about 10 with 2 to play so maybe thibs was just playing it safe, not sure

Dang hope it's nothing

amazingly terrible playcall out of a timeout by the raptors there

Nick Friedell ‏@NickFriedell 57s
Thibs says Rose has a "minor" right hamstring injury. Will be reevaluated tomorrow.

phew

lmao if the Nuggets lose to this Jazz team...
