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

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

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

A little upset that kevin hart has taken over my tv

yeah this ride along film im not so sure

every big nba event excluding from the playoffs is a big Kevin Hart coproduction the last couple of years xp

It's also the golf commercial and I think at one point there may have been a minute long rap video

nice how the heat are wearing christmas colors red and sea foam shoes

Shoes are very #seapunk

ha otm

They should wear team branded christmas sweaters on the bench

yes

btw every blake griffin commercial across his entire brand portfolio is terrible and forced this year what happened

comedic actor told he needs to pivot to srs drama

yeah prob

Brian jelly tried to pick Bron. Wow. They should fine the lakers for that

Lol farmar you can do that in Israel but not over here buddy

How long did Hanes lock mj into this contract for. Why are there still new Hanes tag less commercials being made in 2013

the lakers are not so great at defense

it really is amazing how well D'Antoniball works with wacky talentless rosters

Shoot a lot of 3s because the game is not balanced #nbahacks

yeah its an interesting talent xp

i don't mind the kevin hart commercial with lebron

i like the blake red bull commercial, nice to see him doing something that isn't Wacky

mostly i'm interested in seeing who the lakers can flip/wanna flip. cuz they should try and flip some of these guys if they can.

does anyone have any value not so sure

like no one u would give up a 1st rounder for

lol kobe mock choking wade, wade not sure if he shld be afraid

only thing the lakers can easily trade is Pau, imo

they don't have anyone that's first round pick level good but i think henry, swaggy p, farmar & even wes johnson (37% from three!) could be enticing to a contender

i would definitely be targeting underutilized young players on playoff teams... like i'd offer the bulls any of those four guys for marquis teague who would probably be pretty good in d'antoni's system imo

like memphis just signed seth curry, maybe you could get ed davis or jon leuer (perfect d'antoni big) for jordan hill and one of those four guards

the bobcats have the worst wings in the league but could still make the playoffs maybe they'd flip you a few seconds for henry

idk there's prob a lot of deals out there that are upside plays for the lakers

they're letting all these guys rebuild their value this year anyway they might as well cash in on it

kobe is holding the franchise hostage tho cuz they still have to pretend like they have a shot at the playoffs because he's insisting on coming back asap

Dwight has been absolutely on fire with the lefty hook, I'd love to know what his percentage is on it.

@JADubin5: Long story short: NY wants Rondo, but they want him to force his way to NY via trade (a la Melo) rather than waiting to sign him in FA.

lol im sure ny wants lots of things

wow spurs too much nog

wow forgot the rockets could actually be fun

um howard looking very jumpy again

parsons playing point rn

who is the analyst in this game i don't recognize his voice at all also can barely hear him

dwight buys his teammates watches so they'll continue to tolerate him http://www.sbnation.com/2013/12/25/5244086/dwight-howard-rockets-teammate-christmas-gifts

Lol only Harden got the audemars

it's cool to see a guy like aaron brooks buy into moneyball like this, taking quick 3s, getting 2 for 1s, the culture is very deeply ingrained in this team

btw i don't remember the NBA. ever really having a policy against hanging on the rim, it's in college where it's an automatic tech
