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

i've been feeling alright about picking them to win the title (as long as you ignore my predictions on the east)

lamb jackson adams all stepping up

durant honing his craft

ibaka doin ibaka stuff

who did i pick chicago lol i get a pass

yeah all of a sudden the thunder have a really interesting bench. gotta throw perry jones in there too. nba is weird.

even perry jones has put up good numbers in v limited mins

lol xp

i wonder if brooks will figure out to retire perk and fisher by the end of the year such a tuff decision

7.2 and 6.7 per respectively 31 combined minutes a game

welp its not like theyve got multiple better players that can play their positions or anything

Thunder look great and Russ has his form back imo. Hasn't taken a step back at all. Smart move getting the full knee repair instead of scraping and coming back in 3-4 weeks. I like Adams a lot and am intrigued with the bench. I might even enjoy the team once they stop employing d fish.

Maybe the worst non call on a goal tend ever?

Lol I'm dying here

I think I'm beginning to dislike harden

join me

There's a whine to his game I can't really handle

harden+d12=most unlikable leading duo in the game, right?

i mean dwigt basically went up through the rim and roped it in! and was like aahha ref here you go about to hand it to him *crickets* alright outlet pass it is!

i can get w that xp

all his numbers are down a lil this year and he doesnt quite seem to have his usual explosiveness like he missed a bunch of layups last night it seemed like because he wasnt where he expected to be, but id be surprised if he wasnt the old russ shortly

missed last nights game but his two against the warriors he looked better than ever tbf, haven't checked his stats admittedly

prob one of those things where he has it some night and not others which is p typical coming back from injury

true, he'll be there

I won't embed but heres some links:

Horford's game winner which came AFTER he tied the game on two free throws.

I think I'm beginning to dislike harden

watching manu last night and just realizing that harden will never be manu made me really sad

just going by the naked eye but russ has looked much better in the past couple of weeks, and yeah the thunder look kind of dominating lately, them, spurs, and blazers are the elite of the west

lebron is pissing me off with possessions like that this year, attack the basket dude come on

LOL lebron's reaction to that chalmers pass

whoa mike brown almost tackled a ref

yeah mike brown just had a total meltdown

battier is really bad

i was actually thinking recently about how the clock is gonna strike midnight on the heat at any moment, like the big three all look incredible but their role players are all so bad and/or old

you can tell how insanely frustrated he is by how stupid his team is tho

norris, chalmers and bird are having good seasons. beasley is the wild card for them tho, if he can keep playing as well as he has it would be huge.

battier is essentially worthless but he'll pop off in a few playoff games

chris paul is having a ridiculous game. he just hit a 30 footer

starting to think the Bulls might not make the playoffs this time

but rose is coming back!!!

ha that wasn't even a foul

Bennett played 7 minutes and didn't take a shot! That's a good step for him.

If the draft was held again where would Giannis go? 4th?

idk but bennett might not even be drafted at all

waiters is very obviously the next jamal crawford
