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

i figured the back to back part haha

somehow they got back in this game, only down 3 with a minute to go.

Iggy is limping around

Thought he just had a new nickname for barnini xp

Shumpert on fire again

has harden been checking him?

actually parsons has been on him a lot. He's just drilling 3s.

Warriors ball down 2 with 3 seconds left alert. timeout

IGGGGGGGGGGGGYGGYGYGYGYGYGYYGYGYG

I remember him accidentally hitting glen davis in the head with a medicine ball

haha

why is there a rule about an offensive player being in the key for more than 3 seconds

jr smith takes the worst shot in basketball so many times

so you can't just camp out in the lane

i understand why a defender shouldn't be able to camp out in the lane but who cares if an offensive player does

lol that was the original rule, the defensive version is fairly new. Otherwise dudes like SHAQ woulda just sat under the hoop all game

harden is going insane

people don't want centers to be the best players in basketball every year

CP injury?

i have no problem with shaw sitting under the hoop all game. who wants to see him anywhere else?

jr smith has to be one of the 5 worst regulars in the nba this year

keeping the lane clear is what allows basketball to be watchable

harden has some awful possessions

mostly on defense

Shump 12 of his last 14 from 3, heck of a back to back

keeping the lane clear is what allows basketball to be watchable

i guess my point is that the nature of basketball rewards keeping the lane clear, i have no idea why dwight howard can't take 5 seconds to post up if that's what a team really wants to do

cp3 superfan friend tells me he fell on his R shoulder and went straight to the locker room :(

i would be fine if three seconds was not applied to a player who had possession

sarge cmon no one wants big camping out in the lane

sprained it according to twitter now. shit

i don't see what the problem is. it would be unsuccessful basketball & would weed itself out of the game

but if you allowed that, Shaq and Wilt and the like would dominate the game too much. People want to live in a world where Jordan, Bird and Magic are the best basketball players ever, not 300 pound giants.

also it's such an arbitrary rule, such a stupid and random way to lose a possession that has nothing to do with anyone trying to make a play

aaaaaaaaand JR pulls a bargnani

fantastic

ahahha udrih foul

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SMITH DID THE SAME THING BARNITA DID

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOUR NEW YORK KNICKS

tbf barnita's was worse, they were up

jr knows one thing and one thing only

yeah i was just gonna say actually, that's not a horrible look. STILL

jr shouldn't be on the floor

ever

lolllllllll what an amazing possession

omg knicks

hahaha awesome ending

........that last possession

halfway down

what the hell is udrih doing

JR is shooting 35/35/60 on 12 FGS and 1.5 FTs per game. he's gotta be one of the most harmful players in the nba
