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

he old n broken

the warriors are a cool ass team, they have a bunch of really good young players, if they manage the situation right they shd be good for a while

they're prob gonna have to decide between klay and barnes at some point

between *paying

lol trade barnes now imho

people arent going to belive hes good for too much longer

i think jackson uses him poorly... they give him too much responsibility

he shouldn't be the number one option on bench units and shouldn't be getting post up isos in crunch time

a better offensive coach would use barnes better and his numbers would probably reflect that

the guy's 6' 8" and athletic and can shoot i wouldn't be looking to trade him just put him in a better position to succeed

he just seems like one of those super athletic guys who has no idea how to use his athleticism, but yeah interest in post ups is another way in which jackson has no idea whats goin on in todays nba

smh trade him to the spurs, we know what to do

yeah barnes def doesn't seem like he quite understands how to play

like steals and blocks generally coordinate highly with athleticism but he gets almost none, he just might not be much of a player you know

ha i was just thinking if there would be a material difference b/w barnes and kawhi if they had switched places at the start of their careers

he looks p wooden and passive just not in the flow, was also not that good in college

i mean there will always be a place for a big athletic wing who can shoot but i def think hes way overvalued right now

ya i mean we have 3.5 years of disappointing high level basketball from him now

i'm not sure you could really get anything in a trade for him tho unless you took another team's ill fitting young player

2nd rd pick, maybe some cash and nando de colo, lets get harrison barnes over here, he just needs the right setting its ok

i bet there are a bunch of gms out there who still value him pretty highly

i mean i doubt youd get as high a pick as was spent on him but if you were clever you could prob put something p good together

Idk it's only his second year and he is in a new role this year

sry spottie ilh hates harrison barnes theres nothing that can be done, rip harrison barnes

rip harrison, spurs trade imminent

:( polyphonic where u at?

F u bison not every one can have pop as coach f u

yes they can, hire his replicants like atl and philly did

cool was wondering where mike browns next job would be

:( polyphonic where u at?

He definitely isn't the right guy to be the heater off the bench. He doesn't have that kind of game imo. But his overall stats for the year aren't bad despite his recent struggles. I can't say I've noticed him on defense lately. Kind of invisible.

mike brown not a true replicant, not enough time incubating as an assistant, old pre-web 2.0 pre-cloud pre-tablet pre-adv stats pre-chip england era spurs tech installed

only thing mike brown learned was defense is impt and tim duncan makes this job easy

oh man mike brown disowned, harsh

he has been disgracing his spurs alumni status 4 almost a decade, time to revoke his spurs *jingles*

tonight's schedule is like 5 times better than the Xmas day schedule, great job everybody at NBA HQ

I think Mark Jackson is a dipshit and an asshole but I haven't seen anything that makes me think he isn't a good coach

i haven't seen too much that makes me think he is a good coach either though

i think he might be fine and is probably improving but he also might just be proving the scotty brooks corollary (get more than one top 20 or one top 5 guy and look good)

actually per discussion above that might be the mike brown corollary

remember back when shaq would brag about how he got randos like damon jones fat contracts well lebron has gotten mike brown two coaching gigs and counting

well the media's (short-term) hatred of Lebron is more like it

remember when people thought the Cavs would contend for the playoffs without LBJ

hah yeah so much anthony parker and ramon sessions jeez that team was trash

charles is saying that blake needs to start fighting people or else they're gonna keep punking him

which is great that he can say that on tv

with advice like that, barkley will soon replace jeff ireland as dolphins gm.

this grizzlies starting line up...... jesus

hollinger definitely crying while watching this game tonight

should we start a kickstarter to pay someone to rip the ball away from CP3 right after a game ends

Lol James Johnson torched Lin and the next time down was like hey there's another guard who doesn't play defense out here let me go around him too *blows by harden for a dunk*
