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

http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/82634/getting-angry-about-jeremy-lin-all-over-again

conclusion that the knicks didn't deserve lin is otm

yeah I'm glad he got w Houston.

i have to imagine he is, too.

the idea of being a global icon prob sounds alluring but making $30m and being a "normal" star athlete doesn't sound too bad

thing is he's still a global icon, and china already freaking loved the rockets because of yao. perfect sitch for him

right but obv it would be blown up x1000 if he had stayed in nyc

he seems like the type of person who would enjoy a more private life

some people I know do look at Lin like a traitor, but he did make the right move. and let's face it, he wasn't gonna shine under Melo's politics

he seems like the type of person who would enjoy a more private life

needs jesus time i guess

interesting how many of the best tweeters suck so hard at writing longer

Read that as "best twerkers suck so hard" :/

Can't wait for this year to be over

Oh man didn't know that netw3rk was azn

Nice, our ranks grow in number

he dressed up as a chinese food delivery guy for halloween this year and posted a photo and i thought to myself now i know what netw3rk looks like which is a classically weird creepy internet thought to have, also i tweeted it at him

he didnt respond, rude

Haha I wanna be creepy too

so good, the in unison follow through

i think he's filipino, his real name is jason concepcion

also i thought that piece i linked to was good although i agree with the point that a lot of good tweeters are annoying actual writers

its nice how you can tell he sees them too his right hand slightly extended in the vaguest consideration of reciprocating xp

its soo florid and trying hard to be interesting and fun that its practically freedarkro xp

tho tbf its far more coherent

haha the clowning dude bro in yellow who somehow knows they are gonna whiff before it even happens

oh yeah you're totally right i forgot that one paragraph in the middle where he totally overdoes it

For an organization that had spent the past dozen years building ill-fitting teams of towel-bedecked misanthropes on the carbonized ashes of millions of dollars in player contracts, throwing good money after bad money after Jerome James money into 55-loss hellmouths, the sudden conversion to parsimonious rectitude was at best ironic and at worst utterly unconvincing and capricious.

yeah i mean its actually not terrible but his tweets are ingenious xp

its nice how you can tell he sees them too his right hand slightly extended in the vaguest consideration of reciprocating xp

At first I thought this was a description of netw3rk upon seeing lag?n tweeting at him

hah

Ddue should have tm'd that facial expression

is this supposed to be an example of a good or bad para? i love this

ew its so grody

that a way too many words for what he's trying to say imo and when the gymnastics of the sentence become more important than the thrust you've already lost

it's a bit thesaurusy

it def reads like some of my most florid works as an undergrad English maj writing about whatever it was I wrote about back then

otm

Portland vs Boston tonight aka the unofficial ilx bowl

Have to question the lengths the bulls have gone to integrate Rose back into their system because right now they look so much better without him.

minnesota at denver will be depressing

wade 2nd unit w chris norris & SUPER COOL is kinda good!

ty looks so good

chandler's back!

Denver started last season 0-3...

Minnesota's bench is so bad.

Jon Barry's scouting report on Mozgov not very accurate

Kevin Martin's 3pt form reminds me of the allegedly funny streetball guy

I feel like there's mad genius at work with that shot. It's like Andy Roddick's service motion.

I'm not sure Andre Miller's defense is compensated by offense anymore
