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

Haha udrih Rollin up his sleeves

After shooting a 3 off the side of the backboard natch

Lol sleeve back down and airballs a 13 footer

Clear path foul reviews are the bane of the NBA atm

man, this shitheap called the 2013-14 Knicks

Yeah it's like they're trying to imitate the gravitas of nfl reviews but everybody knows it doesn't matter unless it's a close game in the last 2 minutes of the 4tg

they just need a dedicated reviewer ref who can right things on the fly, give some extra free throws later take some away etc let the game roll

There's already too much stoppage. I say scrap the clear path rule and give each team a couple "challenges" even be able to challenge a foul call imo could u imagine

That would be cool too xp

Also have that guy review goaltends

yeah everything three pointers etc

then have the sptopage of game review process kick in w like five minutes left

ibaka's out here canning corner threes man

Teams have a designated free throw shooter like in baseball #hoopideas

Very impressed by young hubie

What a beautiful head of luscious curls

I guess the Nets are more doomed without Lopez than the Knicks are. This is gonna be a lot of fun for me.

How hard would it have been to do a last minute switch up and have the thunder play the heat and the Knicks the lakers. Damn

Thunder C team is pretty good

Amar'e Stoudemire 1983-2013

btw I am NOT excited about the Javale Mom show because imo she is PART OF THE PROBLEM

the nets have lost 8 games this year by 20 points or more

by my quick count

so glad i missed all but 30 seconds of this

Pau looks like he's wearing bedclothes

Laker Girl uniforms are the only good fashion decision we've seen today

lebron looks like the hulk in this stupid thing

looool jvg "the p doesn't stand for pass"

:-0

my god

feel lucky to be alive at the same time as lebron

lebron running to defense A++++++

came back sooner than wade after that alley oop

Would rather watch a livefeed of Kobe watching the game.

looks like LeBron is healthier than that stretch early in the season where it looked like his back was bothering him

Have they stopped calling technicals for hanging on the rim

i don't think lebron got t'd up cuz LA had called a time out

How has rashard Lewis not changed his facial hair for four straight years

Oden only had one knee brace on in that clip. Wow

Shaggy over Bron o_O

Never heard anything about this, but I think they started really relaxing on this rule last year. Sometimes it's a safety thing, where the refs will allow hanging on the rim for an extra second, as long as players don't do anything demonstratively unsportsmanlike while they're up there.

lol Ryan Kelly takeover

Haha looking through the rulebook, looks like players will be assessed $25 fines for hanging on the rim during pre-game warmups (1978) :0
