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

Does it still count as a subtweet if the guy you're subtweeting is mentioned in the tweet by name

One explanation is that both were against great teams at tail ends of road back-to-backs. Either way rough watching Indy throwing the ball at the basket tonight.

Masterful tweet btw

i wonder if w all the new nerd gms there will be more trades as they more accurately evaluate their own players instead of sentimentally hold onto them, i hope so trades are tite

I've had that same thought and as a fan of nba chaos I'm hoping that is the case

the delivery of kobe's name by the lakers' announcer was . . . somewhat anti-climatic?

Raptors look like their team just traded an asshole they all hate

theyre just psyched to get their stat sheets back

what sort of evil animal

Andre Drummond is 19th in offensive ppp, and 24th in defensive ppp. Leads the NBA in TRB%.

theyre just psyched to get their stat sheets back

god I miss J Rich

lol lukes was like a 190

rip stoudemire hangtime

the stoudemire one is the most impressive imo

yeah vince had some nice ones tho

Gay to Sacramento is so perfect

I am content to see rudy a king. Adds piquancy.

yeah i am pretty psyched to forget rudy gay exists as he wastes away in sacto. free boogie.

is sacramento a bad city or something? never been to cali idk

i love cali basically from diego to tha bay but sacramento sucks

rudy stuck on that terrible team is incredible

i think masai's next move is to swap kyle lowry to a mid-tier contender- 6m expiring, nobody really likes him but he's pretty good, and he can hand the keys to vasquez, see what he can do, and has a year-plus to see if he is good long-term or if they need to draft a different pg

heh

also i didnt know shannon brown wasnt in the league right now

Cleveland fans reminding you of your crazy ex

Also assuming that the 'Greek Freak' is Simmons' nickname for Giannis, disapprove

greek freak is pretty good! what's your beef

wow didnt realize rudy had been quite this awful http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/85058/a-new-king-what-the-rudy-gay-trade-means-for-toronto-and-sacramento

Rudy Gay should ban all forms of writing and symbols from the locker room.

lowe on the gay trade

lol ok i actually clicked on lagoon's link, read it, then forgot i got it from this thread

haha meta

lol

why's he gotta hate on Landry Fields lol

I kind of hope that Rudy ends up the first significant player traded every year just for comedy value

That Cavs video reminds me that I'd really, really love to have Austin Carr and Quinn Buckner call a Cavs/Pacers game together. Both know / elucidate the game well + are giggly as fuck + sound like a cool mix of assistant coach & excited fan and get caught up urging players on.

It just sounds bad and doesn't roll off the tongue

No announcer's gonna use it

His nickname is "The Greek Freak".[5]

yeah i guess something original like G-Ant is much better

Quincy Pondexter (foot) out for season

He doesn't need a nickname

I clicked on the citation and the only reference to to "The Greak Freek" was in the headline itself

Gonna edit the article to take that out

We need to talk about the youngest player in the NBA. The one they call the Greek Freak. The one who was sent here to save pro basketball in Wisconsin. Where did he come from?

BTW, good post from Lowe explaining the Gay to the Kings trade http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/85058/a-new-king-what-the-rudy-gay-trade-means-for-toronto-and-sacramento
