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

I seem to remember Foye winning a game with the twolves in that manner too, during that 20 game stint where he was good.

longest L streak of melo's career

the MSG aftershow was funny with the announcers constantly saying "... by RANDY FOYE(!?)" in clear disgust/disbelief

j.r. has been unbelievably bad

nugs btw :)

Might need to step back on the bus for a bit. Been missing Wilson Chandler's fade anyhow.

This is becoming some really strange shit

oh man, Charles is calling the Knicks/Nets game next week on TNT.

What's the implication there? He stopped working out or he was on PEDs in college? xxp

Biggest bust since Kwame

the jump shooting is one thing, but i'm amazed at how badly he gets destroyed near the basket, by basically anyone who's guarding him. also he doesn't really bend his knees when he jumps?

sick

He might end up being a Kwame-sized bust but it's still sooooo early. W/o having watched much of him, it seems like he manages to find good looks inside; there's a chance that he's just in some transitional period for his shot-timing. Also, pretty tough to ignore the fact that dude turned into a butterball (via non-shooting arm shoulder injury, which is kinda suspect since he should still have been able to work in some kind of cardio work)-- I'd imagine the Cavs staff will drill out 20lbs as fast as they can. Unless Bennett is a stress-eater, in which case gonna be a miserable season for him.

wow xp dope fanflick.

lol at basically all the fans with significant screen time there, old lady who hugs russ, macho bro in durant jersey who also hugs russ then tries to high five the security people

whoa bynum just had an amazing quarter

come back boo

he was an absolute beast in college. Shot 74% at the rim. And now he can't make wide open dunks.

crazy how out of shape he looks compared to that ripped before pic

like what exactly was he up to in the offseason

just gorging on poutine

I thought that was just jersey puff. Billowy fabric

naw his face and arms and everything

Those are some crazy Dwight-esque shoulders in the first pic though.

Maybe he has psychological issues like Kwame. Although there isn't a Jordan or Kobe on the team to grind his psyche into a fine mash

Kinda fucked up that Kwame had to endure abuse from two of the most psychopathic players to ever play the game. I would be on so much Prozac

didnt help that he was unable to catch a basketball

Yeah

I think I read somewhere that that was partly due to his severe performance anxiety or something

lot of pressure for sure

He shoulda trained like Yao Ming when Yao was in a cast. Just sat in a wheelchair with people throwing at him tennis balls volley balls all sorts of balls. Catching them all, not giving a fuck, thinking about making wine

how i spend my days m/l

anthony bennett misses open 3, makes open dunk #bennettwatch

lot of pressure for sure

Also I think he has like 10+ siblings and they grew up impoverished. Probably Matt Armstrong's basketball.xls has more deets. But definitely can imagine the stress when you're the only one who made it and you have to think about providing for your entire family

airballs long 2 lmao #bennettwatch

he's visibly aiming every shot

Fucked up that you have to be a member to buy his wines. Yao, sell me your wines

Seems like they're exporting them exclusively to China. When I'm there next year I'm gonna see if I can buy a bottle. I'll drink it and liveblog it on ILH
