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

imo lots of travels on like what you see with wade there go uncalled. You see a couple of those a game tbf. it doesn't really give him much of an advantage so it doesnt bug me as bad, just looks bad on the league. They've been calling the quick first step before putting the ball down on drives a lot which is fine by me, thats a pretty major advantage so it should be taken away.

4 steps is too many on a drive, not fun to watch when its so blatant.

honestly that d wade play.... who cares

its def more funny that anything

ya

I care, man, I care

and the lebron countup just makes it better

truly inspired editing no doubt

esp with dudes like bron who already have such a natural advantage on a drive

yeah if its just on some open court barely contested slam dunk shit who cares but on drives it can be a major difference maker

haven't paid close enough attention- has Dame's defense gone from - to + yet?

pretty much the same defense

He's been slightly better this year, like he knows that a p&r theoretically can be defended, knows where picks are coming from and prepares for them, there's a little less of his teammates having to cover for him on every play. But good pg's regularly burn him up pretty bad and in tight games it's usually batum defending ball handlers come the fourth quarter.

So no, still a -

he knows that a p&r theoretically can be defended

lol

man really last year that would have been news to him

Terrence Ross = Gerald Green with a brain?

supposedly the kings offered thornton or fredette for andre miller, the nuggets should be all over either one

What do the kings want with dre

people love Andre Miller in irrational ways

It looks like Pero Antic is a legit NBA player which is great stuff. The league needed a 7 footer who looked like a Vegas strip club bouncer.

Guilty as charged xp

I can get behind pero

@gswstats 6m

And with that three Thompson (435) takes sole possession of sixth-place on GSW all-time three-pointers list

The worst part of that wade travel is that he changes his pivot foot while at a dead stop, which is like first grade hoop fundamentals and also a ref should possibly be watching the ball handler during games

Wait no the worst part is that he took seven steps but only fathered four more children during that possession

Enjoyed this

So great. I was researching art sometime last year and learned about Bear Surprise and tried to convince my wife that we should get a print of it

the nyer piece on lurie from a few years ago is a total hatchet job and p amazing

I don't know who john lurie is :(

hes a cool dude

Oh shit he did http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_Surprise

That's completely awesome

Get familiar dawg

Listen to some lounge lizards maybe or watch fishing w john

Or down by law

lakers announcers taking so many subtle shots at Dwight, p. funny

Ryan Kelly is engaged to Bill Cowher's daughter

as an undergrad i ended up doing quite a lot of writing on jarmusch so i have stared at john lurie's sunken face for many many many hours

fishing with john is just the best though and everyone should watch it; was on netflix last time i checked netflix which was like a year ago.

i would 100% be down with calling more travels, it's a very easy rule to follow, players would adjust. things like that wade clip should be insta-called, it would be v embarrassing to be called for a walk all by yourself out there like that and would make players think twice about doing it. because wade totally knew he was traveling there, he just knew he could get away with it

you see it all the time too when players are being defended and they leave their pivot foot to find a better passing angle or to get a better look at a layup. just do your jobs refs

klay thompson is guarding KG right now

They're calling it "Lebroning"

oh man ak saved balls

hahah xp

Amin Elhassan ‏@AminESPN -- If everyone on every roster were in their prime, would the Nets be the best team in the NBA?

hm.

yes duh

by quite a wide margin

they wld be the best team ever

If wishes were horses, would we all be buried under horse shit?

Last years lakers woulda been kinda nice too

It looks like Pero Antic is a legit NBA player

he's really pretty terrible on defense unfortunately

but yeah, legit

lol that foul call on curry

Man in Pekovic gave a few less fucks he'd get near Shaq levels of leeway from the refs.

curry out of control
