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

Yeah, Russ wasn't fouled on that. Brooks iced the loss with that T, but being 6 up the blazers were going to win regardless.

does the blazers arena seem brighter this year to anyone else or is it just me

didn't notice

if anyone missed it here are highlights of the Dubs coming back from 27 down in the third, to win by 9. I think the 2nd biggest come back in nba history or something?

Like every night I expect to be the beginning of an 8 game losing streak or something (sorry Clay)

this is pretty much how i felt until the comeback wins against chicago and golden state. I think after that it was sort of drilled into me that this team is pretty interested in and capable of winning games they shouldn't win. After beating Indiana and OKC in 3 days I'm fairly confident they don't really know how to lose to anyone except Phoenix.

ahem, it's the MODA CENTER, and it's always been pretty bright in there so I'm not seeing anything unusual.

awww man I forgot it's not the rose garden anymore RIP

def. proud of my sick call that the Blazers would be the most disappointing team of the year

Are they gonna get CJ McCollum back anytime soon?

I think it's wait and see on that

I haven't heard anything since mid November, and that was that he won't even be evaluated until mid-late December so I would guess no earlier than January at the earliest.

btw lamarcus straight outplayed kd in the fourth tonight

jesus christ derrick

Derrick Rose doesn't rule out returning for the playoffs "if I'm healthy and the situation is right."

haha rose dude just stfu

He wants so badly to be an nba player.

he wants to troll the hell out of chicago for the 2nd year running

Derrick Rose sounds sad. It's as if he knows he's one injury away from a 10year 400 million dollar contract with the Knicks

Hickson was giving up about three inches and 40 pounds to Bynum, who swatted Hickson for a flagrant foul in the third quarter. “The guy guarding me was an infant,” Bynum said.

I am kinda down with this idea. Most sports fans should probably be booted upon entry tbh.

no way f that noise

lol full justified text c'mon nba you're better than that

i'm more in favor of booting attendees who don't cheer, check their phones during gameplay, etc

srsly corporate dudes getting their seats from work, now who plays on the team do they still have spreewell

should just give this to everyone at the door

You are deemed to have conceded all opposing arguments up to this point.

How does this work if all parties to the discussion are equally guilty of breaching those gorgeously restrictive rules? I guess then everyone is correct, even there is no evidence for any of their positions!!
