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

anything's possible if Melo leaves. but that ain't gonna happen

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeck 7m
OKC makes it official: Westbrook out until after the All-Star break, following arthroscopic surgery on right knee.

oh man i hate the nba

Westbrook caught the bug from Rose

I mean which of those guys wouldn't want to leave their perfect situation to go play for that garbage dump of a franchise, you know

xp daaaaaamn russ

wtf, just a clean up hopefully?

thats what theyre saying

actually i have no idea what this means

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeck 7m
In statement, Presti says recent MRI showed "area of concern that had not previously existed, nor was detectable in the previous procedures"

Howard Beck ‏@HowardBeck 8m
Sam Presti: "Russell has been playing pain free, but recently had experienced increased swelling."

dang

Damn looks like they're gonna have to amputate the leg from above the knee

Knicks trading strategy reminds me of me at 7 yrs old trading baseball cards, just like "YEAH I WANT THE WILL CLARK ROOKIE" with no consideration as to what I was giving away

his body has been infected by... hypebeast

hopefully no big thing and just needs a little scope cleaning (just found out I need the same thing)

haha I have over 125 Will the Thrill Clark cards. My fav player ever.

Ethan Strauss ‏@SherwoodStrauss -- True or not, it does feel like the NBA has more injuries than ever before.

totally.

Damn Spottie's gonna lose both legs at the thigh. Pullin for you man

btw I have said a few times that Knicks should just trade their entire team for the five best players they can get and play ironman 48 minute basketball

maybe six in case one dude gets injured

thanks dayo, getting old

The only answer to this phenomenon is to reduce the length of the season

make it 25 games, then go to a western-conference and heat-v.-pacers-best-of-21 playoff bracket.

Russ injury should mean some solid and meaningful contributions from derek fisher, always a joy to see him out there on the hardwood

tellin yall, my plan will solve:
--play each team twice (58 games)
--top 16 in champ bracket (all best of 5 series)
--bottom 14 in lottery pool. play 4 乒乓 balls

Excellent use there. Well done

*curtsies*

"completely" torn pectoral for Horford

welp

jesus christ

whos even gonna make the playoffs in the east, this is getting serious

some team is gonna try real hard to tank and then have to play the heat in the first round

A 20 win team is bout to make the playoffs

spottie if you didn't have knee surgery i think you might have had a chance to come off the bench for the east in the all-star game

Oh def. haha

maaaaan, horford was ballin out this yr

that sucks for the hawks and my fantasy team which is boned now

There could be a stat category - most injured players per week

barnita had 9 rebounds at halftime

wizards really like corner 3s

L Sanders is back

Bradley Beal had a horrible leg injury apparently

Rudy Gay having one of those games that made a certain sportswriter write a very bad column

um so Curry had a triple double only two minutes into the 3rd quarter!

Rudy Gay's been kinda nine since being traded huh? Got his fg% for the season above 40% now at least.

kinda *nice

I think it's just variance.

@ESPNNBA: Cavs announce Andrew Bynum has been suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.
