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

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?"

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

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

love has been monstrous and its kinda getting overlooked

I think 27 games is just about when you start thinking about these sorts of things actually. We started talking about the LeBron 60% FG% quest a month ago.

these lillard pull-up 3s :D

raining threes all of a sudden

ok what indie band is sitting behind Doc Rivers, or is that just lolportland

clay r u okay buddy its only halftime

Sorry guys coverage is weak here at the "moda center" and posting is out of my control things might get crazy, I might post that one four more times

Paul is goin bananas tho

not a hint of irony in kerr's voice as he calls nic batum a "ball mover"

really nice job by the clips prioritizing the corners on D

damn, griffin knocking it down

kevin harlan just called ryan hollins "a nice luxury coming off the bench"

gonna have to rebuke that one

LOLLL portland just played "shots"

PAUL

lol at cp3 blatantly popping Wes in the mouth no call followed by Blake flopparoo followed by Blake hitting a 3, pure absurdity right now

OMG

MADNESS

wow awful game from lillard tonight

overtime please

cash

Paul is unreal tonight

chris. paul.

blazers need a good quick shot

"they switch nic batum on chris paul for length" [nic batum gets roasted on a pick and paul shoots a free throw]

no wayyyy
