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

feel like there's gotta be something going on with asik beyond match ups. mchale playing a frontline of francisco garcia, omar casspi and terrence jones seems insane

on a mission from god this yr

god smiles only on the pacers. and the 76ers, maybe.

terrence jones looks terrible

dwight howard looks terrible

Barg is actually not bad at one-on-one iso post defense. It's everything else that's bad.

omer is no better than dwight.

altho i do prefer him ...

omri casspi is only 25?? jeez

morey was saying in an interview to haberstroh that the dwight/asik combo wasn't getting it done on the glass, i bet they're just doing some experimenting

lin is going nuts again btw

harden's shooting is so bizarre this year, dude is shooting like 58% on 2 pointers which is insane, but is basically josh smith from beyond the arc

ha, kerr: "i can't believe i'm about to say this, but bargnani needs to come back into the game for defensive purposes."

Houston is going to pretend that Asik is in their future plans, but it's obvious that they'll get this over with at the deadline

I could see Minnesota trading Pekovic for Asik but they'd need to find a third team

wow what a pass by Parsons

ppl i would call: NO (Randerson), Phila (Thaddeus), Bucks (Ilya).

imo pellies would be out of their minds to give anderson away for asik, that trade will never happen. would be perfect for houston though obv

that was a super late call against new york, felt like, on the harden 3.

Barry Jackson ‏@flasportsbuzz 25s

... All names being used will be announced in a week or so, after NBA approves them. Beasley says he's going with "Super Cool."

lmao can we do a kickstarter to buy jordan this jersey

the contact was well after he released the ball

xpost they could trade via a 3rd team w/ pelicans. its the best fit, played together etc.

Parsons and Beverley really struggling from 3 this year

yeah, e.g. I would do Anderson for Pekovic

omg Melo are you really this dumb

LOL melo is an idiot

jeez lin

haha knicks

tbf, LJ got that call

so in Knicks world that's an easy 4pointer

based on the second replay that non-shooting looked like a good call to me

obvious lane violation on melo there

hahahaha cole aldrich

intentional fouls with a team up three and less than 5 seconds left should be two shots + ball

pretty clearly the correct call but if it was against my team I'd be hopping mad I'm sure

fuck the rules imo

iggy running the point for the GSW second unit is so cool

klay just hit the side of the backboard square on on a jumper

the warriors offense gets crazy iso heavy when steph isn't in

lamb is a really fascinating player

not necessarily in a good way

chuck's old "you can't win shooting jumpers" doesn't seem to apply so much to today's league, maybe

david lee: fit but you know it

nice q&a btw http://nba.si.com/2013/11/05/david-lee-video-games-call-of-duty-ghosts/

depends on the jumper xxp

little late ahn SERGE

"The warriors offense gets crazy iso heavy when steph isn't in"

They love going to Barnes in the post and if either j oneal or speights are in then ball stops with them.

Russ looks sharp

well the idea that you need postup play from a bigman stopped applying 20 years ago.

Thunder just don't have enough players
