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

nice, i'm seeing cavs/celts with friends later this month

to add insult to the knicks injury, it looks like anthony bennett hit a garbage time bucket against them

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After Kobe Bryant downplayed the Los Angeles Lakers' modest success in going 10-9 without him, saying Monday, "It's not like we were gangbusters before," coach Mike D'Antoni came to the defense of Bryant's teammates.

"I have to disagree with that," D'Antoni said after Tuesday's shootaround in advance of the Lakers' game against the Phoenix Suns. "We were 6-2 in the last eight [games before Bryant's return] and I thought we played extremely well, winning three [in a row] on the road. ... So, that's not quite right. I'm really proud of what the guys did."

nets have a guy named Tornike Shengelia

btw deron williams is back scored 25 and the nets won

knicks might actually be worse than the nets, still can't tell

yeah think they are, this p much sums it up

John Schuhmann ‏@johnschuhmann 3m
You have one big man you can play every game, and he's basically the worst defensive big of the last 10 years.

maybe when chandler comes back

yeah chandler will definitely help them a lot

their front court rotation tho who dreamed that up damn

well weve got chandler and then... lol

picking up billups' option then almost immediately axing him to sign chandler might be the single worst move in the nba in the last 10 years

imagine if the knicks could've just gotten rid of amare before last season

they might have been able to compete with miami and indiana

they are the worst organization

Lee is significantly worse.

Knicks now half a game ahead of the Bucks.

reminder that the nuggets own the knicks first rounder

unprotected? my god.

lol knicks forever

Mile High Wiggins

yeah bargs is actually a solid on ball defender... like straight post up actions

of course that happens like 2-3 times a game at most and he's horrible at everything else

bummer they have to send their own (or the knicks', if it's lower) to orlando, but still

nuggets also have the rights to switch picks w/ the knicks in 2016

JT is pretty tall!

very 70s

yeah it's like walt frazier crossed with kanye

agree that hes looking good, very chill

where wade is all look i have worn this waistcoat

wade's style has gotten progressively wacker, lebron is on point almost 100% of the time

jt almost pulling off the normal guy at a basketball game look except his hoodie is too fashion and hes inexplicably wearing an nba league hat like hes just a fan of all of it the whole thing is just terrific

watch caps are big w the heat this season

why are heat all smiling after this demoralizing loss? should be punching a glass casing surrounding a fire extinguisher or calling an angry players-only meeting or something.

timberlake should be banned for life from GQ for wearing that hat

too many holes in leBro's jeans

ha love that NBA hat, so non comital

yeah i can't wear jeans like that personally (at least not since the age of 17) but for people's whose style is v strong (i.e. kanye) i think it can work

its a fine line, hard to tell w out seeing the whole outfit but just from that shot feels like a little too much

wade idk just wtf dude

wade's style super mirroring the trajectory of his game

haha otm

looks alright once a week or so

what if brons jeans are boot cut tho lol

they totally are i feel like
