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

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

and hardaway jr. has been good!

the knicks have done SO MUCH to massage the ego of an insane, occasionally above-average shooting guard

yeah it deserves it's own 3,000 word article

he's done there

he tried so hard to be good last year and now the relapse is so much worse

btw, Carmelo's foul at the end of the first half was just as bad as anything in the last minute

Nothing at the end of a half can be as bad as mistakes in the last minute

There was a loud heckler all game and Iggy ran straight to him pointing and then ran off the court hah

maybe not the best sweatshirt to buy

J.R. Smith says he thought the Knicks were down 2 when he took the ill advised three. "That's bad basketball IQ on me," he said.

New board description

hahaha

ty-nate-gallo-willy-tim would be a pretty ok crunch time lineup. would get killed by big guards tho

paul out 3-5 weeks. WHYYYYY

o wow

not the worst thing tho

Kendall Marshall in D'Antoniball is pretty fucking cool

idk, the clips are probably royally fucked. they'll be lucky to go .500 for those 5 weeks.

bunch of games v east coast teams. if they maintain .500 they should be fine. Blake has been playing really well.

can blake keep it up with paul off the floor? i get some amar'e w/ nash feelings from him sometimes.

gonna hurt their playoff seeding regardless, though, west is too tight.

yeah that's the thing. they ain't falling out of the playoffs, but they're not gonna be happy about falling out of the top 6 and having to play SA or OKC

they're currently one game ahead of houston or homecourt in the first round, and three games up on dallas for the eight seed, that's even tighter than i thought dang.

was it his shooting shoulder?

the west is super tight

was it his shooting shoulder?

yep

god, JR, whyyyyyyyyyy

might take some time to get back to normal then xp

lol nhex

Grizz could make a run when Gasol comes back

the bargnani one WAS worse - they were winning and it actually took the game into double overtime - but JR's fuckup here actually did cost the game

he played pretty good his rookie season before paul showed up

also amare was a god before injuries caught up w him

yeah he could handle his own

once he got that midrange game it was over

even before, i never quite saw anything like it, like he didnt really have moves even hed just get the ball and dunk on anyone from anywhere it made no sense, he dropped 40+ on prime duncan in a playoff game, there was nothing you could really do with him

So smooth too

Rip

Those suns teams man, totally brought my love for the game back.

Nash making MVPs out of like q rich and Tim Thomas.

max joe johnson

Early amare was incredible I watched this silly hourlong doc on him on like starz or epicz or whatever this summer and it's incredible he could do anything, he was basically never coached by anyone maybe Marc iavaroni showed him one or two things but that was still in dantoni ball, so the whole thing was get the ball to Nash or shoot shoot shoot

Anyway he was so good and sucks that he is a dried husk of himself

Lol Knicks PR machine dropping stories off that they are "discussing" a Blake for melo swap only the twist is they are discussing it INTERNALLY

Breaking news celtics gm ainge: we are discussing trading Brandon bass and Phil Pressey for Lebron James Kevin durant and the #1 pick oh hey yes we are only discussing this internally but you all want to know right???

Wait so cp3 basically flopped his way into a separated shoulder?

poetic

what about chandler and melo for blake

clips would be better this year, but theres no way you do young for old like that

the funny thing is melo is quietly having a monster season and trying really hard and caring a lot lol irony

btw kinda crazy how deandre jordan sporting a career average of 7 is leading the league in rebounding
