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

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

he was really good for a while but i think id take marions career over his

tough call

14 point 1st q for the clips haha

last night got some bros down n out

being an nba player would be really fun

new board description

true tho

kerr's comparison of the blazers to the 2010 mavs is p interesting

heatles in portland on saturday

p fucking impressed with this blazers team

has collison been good this year or is it just these past two games

he's been good or really bad

So I'm at the game and my basic read on tv clippers is these guys play like they don't like each other much.

*the clippers

ya must be jarring compared to portland

they all prob hate chris paul

aldridge plays pop a shot from midrange

blazers offense looking very tight every play. Clips still look a little ragtag even though big improvement from last year.

So aldridge just stuck two no hesitation jumpers right over Jordan and I swear on the second one deandre looked cross court at do as if to ask "what am I supposed to do about this, do you have any ideas?"

it's especially interesting because while i would grant that lamarcus is no dirk, there was no guard on that mavs team that was anywhere near the player lillard is

yeah that's true

it's mostly a style of play thing, that team had a good amount of shooters

robin lopez is not exactly outstanding in the tyson chandler role either

hah

yeah i guess lopez vs. chandler is the major diff between those two teams

goddamn, shootin ass motherfuckers these blazers

i mean the role is essentially the same but the skill level is obv different

Stotts was the architect of the 2010 mavs offense btw so it's not really a stretch to make the connection

lopez has been great wth

cp3 can just score anytime he wants

yes

cold

clips played some nasty defense in the first half too, portland had several possessions where they were a little befuddled

xxp unless its a lay-up with the game on the line

btw #hoopideas, any shot taken behind half court doesn't count as a FGA unless it goes in. the double-clutching at the buzzer problem is suddenly fixed, you're welcome

Man Paul was just brutally locked in the last few minutes of the fourth.

clippers are giving up like 94 PPP in the last month or something

I was thinking this would be a good game and it is

clay r u okay buddy its only halftime

awesome game to be at btw

We're 27 games in and this Kevin Love shit is getting historic

maybe he could make the playoffs if bob dandridge was on his team

you do realize it's kind of ridiculous to call per-game stats "historic" 27 games in

do you realize shush
