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

This Rockets Minny game is so sloppy.

did not realize MCW was already 22

wade looks fantastic, he should just play every third game

ha, well, that might be exactly what ends up happening

Honestly, strategically handing out DNP-OLDs every four or five games probably helps more than limiting minutes throughout the season. Bosh and Bron are enough to fall back on if/when they did decide to start resting him, too. He's been so hit-or-miss for the last few seasons, but he can still have a jaw-dropping quarter here or there.

Love Brett Brown on the sidelines btw.

Some of Rubio's outside shots are so damn ugly

Bill Simmons ‏@BillSimmons 5m
We need Anthony Bennett to gain 20 more pounds so we can start calling him "Notorious D.N.P."

the celts, man

spurs look pretty unstoppable

whoa lin has the biggest bump on his head, ouch

jeremy lin hit the floor mega hard and ended up with this unbelievable knot on his forehead xp

not sure if this is gonna work..

MANIMAL

brooks had 26 points in 22 minutes.

seems like a lot

all 12 spurs played at least 11 minutes and had at least 6 points tonight.

im sorry, 13 spurs

god, looking at the eastern conference right now...all the tank mode teams are hovering in the middle of low-playoff/barely missing it zone (orl, bos, philly, charlotte), the teams aiming for mediocrity or better fell short (nyk, bkn, mil)

srsly tho after all these years and the eastern conference is still a joke.

these sleeved jerseys just make me cry

man, the bucks got blown out at home by the bobcats, this team sucks

eastern conference will prolly have 2 teams with losing records in the playoffs and the west will have two with winning records who won't #eliminateconferences

the bucks are going to be really bad. i mean they play in the east so they'll probably make the playoffs but still

lol xp

would just like to point out that i was otm

i looked at the all-star ballots the other day and the disparity in talent from one conference to the other seemed historically large xxxp

nba needs relegation, bottom 10 teams to d-league after this season, remaining 20 teams play 4 games against each, make games 40 minutes long, you're welcome

i have saved basketball and many knees

btw only 3 rounds in playoffs, top 8 of the league make it #myspace

all the sports shd have relegation, would be so cool

btw if relegation happened now, 8 of the 10 would be in the east, including 8-seed washington wizards #FUCKTHAEASTCOAST

its p much the most amazing thing that USA has cutthroat meritocratic capitalism for its politics, but hardcore redistributing protectionist sports leagues and commie europe has no salary cap and separate leagues for inferior teams

in USA, ur the worst team, congrats, you can now get the best player not playing in the league which is the only functional league of this sport there is
in Soviet Union, ur the worst team, u get sent to the gulag league in siberia

what a country!

srsly tho after all these years and the eastern conference is still a joke.

thankfully the nets and knicks are helping out by collecting all the bad contracts and donating picks

knicks being terrible this year feels like coming home, like putting on a knicks are terrible sweater your gramma knitted u and drinking cider

ha yeah, last years team being as good as they were made no sense, now were back to normal

can we just cancel the eastern conference and declare miami and indiana part of the western conf by virtue of the western hemisphere or something?

ok but you have to break the news to the rest of the conference and they are really gonna take it hard

there are three teams in the east with winning records at the moment

sorry, four

who's gonna tell michael jordan he can't own a team anymore, he's gonna be mad

hey mike how is goin ha yeah love those jeans btw jacket too the whole ensemble really its just great listen we need to talk

gsw's defense is way underrated

or i guess it's that nobody ever talks about them as a good defensive team but they're shockingly cohesive as a unit

yeah theyre looking real good this year, bogut and iggy (rip) are both leet klay is solid steph is good and lol lee

ha yeah, last years team being as good as they were made no sense, now were back to normal

NUGZ

STREAKING

maybe denver should be in the eastern conference where they'd be like the 5th seed
