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

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

what why

yeah that is nuts

feel like Afflalo is merely auditioning for other teams at this point. he can't be happy putting up 30+ point nights on a team that is years away from being anything.

poly, why?

we are all very upset and awaiting your reply

There's no way Mike Brown makes it to Christmas either, right? Truly an awful awful coach.

why in the world did the cavs want him back

did they think he'd come with lakers majesty still intact

cause theyre morons

Gearge Karl would be fun w that roster

Maaan Isaiha Thomas is balllllin out 23-3-4-2 in less than 30 mins tonight. 6th man or MIP award for sure.

Please Speights, pass the ball!

ugly game but the finish should be good, 70-70 with 5:00 to go.

gross game, so gross. warriors need curry

75-75 w 65 seconds to go

we are all very upset and awaiting your reply

I mean obviously it makes no sense but watching this huge starting five overwhelm Memphis earlier in the game... it made me giddy. I love Barnes.

didn't last too long.

they needed a timeout there

fukkaflop

tayshan prince flop gif coming soon y'all

Z-Bo off to a great start in this contract year

natch

Warriors averaging 77.5 ppg without Steph

pretty big disparity for a sixth man
