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

damn i totally forgot about ibaka dropping the hammer on blake's nuts

suns hired an old thibs confidant who is basically their defensive coordinator and has applied thibs' system

lol what is with all the tanking teams not tanking no one got the memo

bledsoe and plumlee could legit be all-stars right now think about that

btw Arron Afflalo had 36-8-6 tonight with 8 threes

damian lillard just scorched literally the entire suns team to take the lead w/ an untouched layup

wow awful defensive positioning there by about 3 suns

wooooooow

the suns got about 4 tap backs at the basket for the win and it just wouldn't fall, mystery of mysteries but that was a really great game

carbon copy of the wolves loss the other night

has any team won 3 of 4 games early in the season in as miserably depressing a fashion as the nuggets?

that was srsly tho the worst defensive work on a late-game possession for a lead change that i can remember in my life

Seriously though is this guy gonna end up in the d-league?

Bennett is doing some things out there that make you seriously wonder if he's insane/has a drug problem

it's a testament to how bad this draft was that the entire fanbase isn't freaking out

lol

ahhh blake coast to coast

Wouldnt matter so much if he wasn't 1st pick but I've watched most of his gametime and seen not even a flash of potential.

thabeet literally just kicked jared dudley

@Matt_Barnes22: I love my teammates like family, but I'm DONE standing up for these niggas! All this shit does is cost me money..

whaaaat

i just posted that because i thought it was funny, but now everyone is reacting like ^that on twitter. idgi, he's obviously kidding it seems like

that's because all he does when he gets the ball is instantly chunk up a shot. He seriously is treating every game like an exhibition.

just catching up on the pdhx game. so much fun. bodies flying everywhere

something looks different about sefolosha this year, like he lost weight or something

jeff hornacek = kevin spacey

omg all those missed lay ins to end that game, what a game

im also into the idea of jalen/doris

re: the barnes tweet, i think people don't realize that he's black

theres drama w that tweet, i thought it was kinda funny

he's ALWAYS in the mix on any kind of scuffle

3 point shooting has turned into a pumpkin :(

i didn't understand the origin and assumed it was in earnest xxxxxxxp

thomas robinson was awesome you're right, other than his FT's

ive truncated my username fyi

also, wes matthews shot has ridiculous amounts of arch

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1m
So Matt Barnes gets fined for ejection, tweeting in-game and tweet content, right? "He always gets his money's worth!" ex-teammate texts me.

oh forgot about the in-game tweeting rule. if he gets fined for using the n-word that would be pretty messed up though

hmm

“We had a very clear target,” Kahn said. “Anthony Randolph is a young player in our league who kind of fits the description of what we’ve been trying to add to our team.”

“Corey definitely provides energy and electricity from time to time,” Kahn said. “He is prone to make a very big play from time to time. However, it’s very hard in this league to have a prominent role when your shot and your ball-handling are not at an elite level.”

Tbf we've had some laughs at Corey brewer handling the ball especially on the break before so Kahn isn't totally wrong

But he does appear to know his own limitations and playing with love really helps him

noooooo no no no no no no no no nooo oooooooo

i'm still an anthony bennett optimist btw, remember he missed the entire preseason

it's arguable whether he should even be playing right now

wow those look like pajamas, wtf

bennett might obliterate austin rivers's record for worst season ever

Those uniforms look DOA

Expecting cargo ships full of unsold unis to arrive at developing countries sometime next year

his TS% right now is .163

austin rivers btw is shooting 23% from the field this year

can't believe that guy even still exists
