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

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

always lazy with the ball

whoops steph

a prof journalist over here

payroll would be like $450 milli

CURRYYRRYRYR

oh damn its a two

chase !!!!!

dude on espn pontificating about how you need to be 11 deep to win in the nba i guess hasn't been paying attention much to the league ever

15 deep imho

a prof journalist over here

i'm sure we've all asked these hypothetical questions to ourselves. "if everyone on every roster were on their deathbed, would the nets be the best team in the nba?"

top 8 must be solid xpost

yeah 8 solid guys is usually good, trying to think of a recent team top team that was legitimately 11 deep it just never happens

well they all have literally at least 11 players

breaking: brooklyn is in playoff position

4-0 in 14.

why isn't detroit better, i thought they might be alright this year

i was a skeptic but they are def worse than i expected

i guess brandon jennings + josh smith ain't really winning basketball tho

jeannings really suck and monroe/josh is a cruel overlap
cant watch them anymore

they sould trade monroe + whatever for gordon hayward, doubt utah would do tho

Yeah seems like they should still improve a little but we've kind of made mention that Josh Smith is basically the worst fit and brandon jennings kinda just sucks. j Smoov needs to never shoot outside of 5 feet but he has no business being in the paint on this team when monroe and drummond are in there.

did they really give smoove $14mil a year dang

every atlanta fan mustve been loling so hard aver that contract

Lakers announcers now huge fans of the hackahoward strategy

was joe dumars just like "well we've got to sign somebody we have all this money, it'd be embarrassing not to spend it"

like maybe think twice about giving a big contract to a guy whos entire fan base yells nooo every time hes about to do a thing he does all the time

he's been known to do that before!

Charlie V and Ben Gordon

hah i forgot about that charlie v signing, it's weird how everyone though joe d was a couple years there

was a genius*

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

wow this was quite a read

cj mccollum in the game word

btw Barbosa in a Suns uni just feels right

was joe dumars just like "well we've got to sign somebody we have all this money, it'd be embarrassing not to spend it"

That's exactly it, and if they find a sucker for for a trade partner some day it might be worth it
