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

indiana is not like the the dynamicest offensive team but the knicks are defending them well

i take it back

pacers back on track to be 81 -- 1.

I haven't watched the Knicks since Tyson got injured. Paul George just willed himself to two buckets and then they gave up back to back transition threes by hill and Watson. I don't think defense is their forte

they were playing remarkably well for how terrible defenders they are!

Tru

I can't believe they're even allowed to advertise this Microsoft surface during nba games, that shit weighs like ten thousand pounds

is there a weight limit

so many wide open 3s

barg is not good at anything

tip dont triple team any pacers

what other choice do you have, against lance stephenson?

P bad 3 on 1 fast break by the pacers there, they need lance to handle all of those

udricsanity going down rn

Benomenon

ha nice

what a bizarre finish here

PG maybe doesn't have the handle for those last-second isos

wuuuuut

*refreshes twitter* ^_^

PG maybe doesn't have the handle for those last-second isos

but didnt u hear hes an mvp candidate *j/o motion*

nets lost to the bobcats tonight btw, if kidd's not gone by christmas it'll be a miracle

melo iso upcoming

but didnt u hear hes an mvp candidate *j/o motion*

he's the mvp in-waiting.

oh he's having a sick season and is definitely a top 10 player imo

def a v cool flop attempt on that final play

:0

Not really sure how Pacers got it to overtime; didn't establish Hibbert early and have kinda been rudderless offensively all game.

George Hill looking very tired-- front-ended a ton of shots there at the end.

tbf the knicks are terrible

they have flashes of excellent offense but don't sustain it

Basically when Melo gets hot.

overtime is awful nba shd have ties

all overtimes in all sports suck except playoff hockey

nba overtime should be sudden death

should just have a skills contest or something

PG has gotten into a really bad habit of kinda mugging / slowstepping around after made shots. Honestly probably one of the worst in the league, guess he's quick enough to recover but still nagl.

Terrence Jones really stomping on the competition lately

who knows the rules good i was watching the end of bobcats/nets, the bobcats inbounded to kemba who dribbled up the court for like 5 seconds but got trapped in the backcourt so they called timeout, but after the timeout they got to inbound in the front court. i thought if you inbounded/advanced the ball before calling timeout you can't advance with a timeout??

eliminate timeouts #hoopideas

g. If a 20-second timeout is requested by the offensive team during the last two minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period and (1) the ball is out-of-bounds in the backcourt (except for a suspension of play), or (2) after securing the ball from a rebound and prior to any advance of the ball, or (3) after the offensive team secures the ball from a change of possession and prior to any advance of the ball, the timeout should be granted. Upon resumption of play, the team granted the timeout shall have the option of putting the ball into play at the 28' hash mark in the frontcourt or at the designated spot out-of-bounds. If the ball is put into play at the hash mark, the ball may be passed into either the frontcourt or backcourt. If it is passed into the backcourt, the team will receive a new 8-second count.

think i'm right

yeah "prior to any advance" seems key

@BeckleyMason: Paul George is shooting 58% on 2-point jumpers outside the paint. That is just wild.

reversion watch, noticed hes taking a ton of midrange jumpers, not terrible long ones but still

george saying hi to asap rocky after the game, apt

i ask so little of you, shitty new york kickerbockers.

well, cp3 is good

jeez kevin martin circus shot

Rubio has had some really boneheaded turnovers tonight

Griffin and Jordan have zero FT attempts in this game. How is that possible.

asik back in the rotation

Honestly I think the Warriors should make Curry the 6th man
