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

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

whoa

man dragic has looked great

yeah he's having a great year.

which buck is that

it's giannis

hayward otoh looks like he needs a new situation pronto, really ugly year for him so far

wow

giannis!

Bynum highlights are pretty darn impressive

man that bennett tape is gruesome

that missed dunk against the timberwolves is like the nba version of "the scream"

also when he makes a basket the cavs announcers act like he's a 13 year old cancer patient who is playing in an nba game thanks to make a wish

that said i still feel like even in watching that tape you can tell why he was the no. 1 overall pick

his shooting form is really good and for a guy his size he looks good off the dribble. hopefully it's just a combination of conditioning and wild pressing.

milwaukee now 2-0 vs. boston, 1-13 vs. everyone else

they shd play more often

celtics lurking in that highly undesirable territory of not quite bad enough

people saying theres maybe 7 franchise players in this super draft, lol prob not, but still try to get in say the bottom four or five worst records and youre in good shape

yeah lots of time for bos to put on the afterburners for the bottom

plus the worst record almost always gets dumped out of #1 lottery position right?
