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

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*

some really ugly kyrie hero ball tonight, waiters is definitely punching him in the face later tonight

1987 all star game on nbatv btw

Jon Leuer's midrange J is some gorgeous stuff

yeah i find it weird that he's still end of bench fodder even for memphis

he must be unbearably bad on defense

but in a world where channing frye is making $30 million......

harden backlash has reached the big time

Slowly starting to come around to the “harden plays a gimmick brand of basketball” camp. Appreciate the value, but horrible to watch.

Leuer hasn't really shown that he can handle a big workload from 3. 3s>>>2s.

big fan of his tho

which is weird to me cuz he's 17/38 career from three

he should shoot them a bunch more

also given hollinger's involvement and memphis complete lack of shooting and them being short a big

houston PGs so snakebit with injuries

it looked like Horford had another bad pec injury

i'm really excited for portland to get cj mccollum

finish of this mavs/spurs game should be great

dirk...

40 points for kyreezus tonight

i think vince carter's career arc is pretty cool. what other player has gone from superstar to willing role player like him?

I'd throw Marion in that convo too

to a much lesser degree tho, marion wasn't nearly the star carter was and marion also still starts

there are probably a few examples

david robinson ceded the spurs to duncan in the final 5 years of his career

Ray ray

was gonna say that but he had a pretty big hissy fit in boston re his demotion

lol at the clippers

Well I feel like VC's tenure on the Nets/Magic wasn't the smoothest xp

I dunno though. I don't remember anything about VC post Raptors

marion was borderline star true

antonio mcdyess?

marion was better at basketball than carter but not as big of a star

yeah vinces rep was next level

cos he could dunk good obv
