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

it definitely helped Miami last year though

yeah home court is great no doubt but you have to weigh what you sacrifice to get it, the pacers are going all out where miami is resting wade every other game and theyre only a game back so idk

Which reminds me: if David West makes the All-Star team this year, the front will say EAST 30 and the back will say WEST 30

Brook Lopez's nickname is Brooklyn, meaning the front and back of his nickname jersey is BROOKLYN 11

haven't you guys ever heard of the comedy rule of three

And JR shoots threes, think about it

woodson's angry "NO COMMENT." when asked about benching JR at the break was pretty funny though

the j.r. stuff is funny insofar he's a goof but it's also kinda sad

there's a pretty unmistakeable desperateness there imo

Desperateness for what

no i think he was just being a goof but i'm not looking forward to the "JR smith is broke remember when he was fined over $2 million by multiple basketball leagues" portion of his story

The Antoine Walker arc

yah that shits a bummer

he seems really naive

naive doesn't add up to this level of dysfunction

agree about it being both sad and funny

thinking about jr's long-term future and all the viciously terrible he'll make on his way towards it is maybe too sad

if that car accident thing didn't straighten him out then I'm not sure will

toss jrue holiday on the pile of injured guards out who knows how long, stress fracture to the right tibia.

Do we have a running count of how many total injured players there are right now. Is that a stat that's kept track of over seasons

Bledsoe, Paul, deron, rondo, Kobe, rose, Westbrook, jrue

That's 8 all-star or borderline all-star guards currently down by my count.

Future JR

I'm glad we don't have a basketball bummers thread

But if we did this would be post #1

Desperateness for what

attention/relevance. come on, the guy is out of his mind

Yo I told everyone that jr was a dummy and that I kind of hated him years ago but when he was part of ilh's precious nuggets he was deemed a minor deity

He just seems like a horrible person in just a lame way and also terrible to play basketball with

Btw I couldn't keep up but ilh crew was on fire last night

I gunked it

Drummond has had some really bizarre blown layups and dunks tonight. Like he literally can't see the rim.

heat working on the impossible right now, back to back knicks/nets losses.

#prayforwade #prayforbron

Watched the end of rockets hawks and the local Houston commercials reminded me that Dwight Howard is such an unlikeable tryhard manbaby

Not that I needed reminding but I sort of forget just how awful he seems because I mostly go on DAWIGHTTT HOWAAARD media blackout whenever he's in the news but it must kind of suck if you have to root for him since he's still also a top...five? ...center

Lol heat just trying to help keep the east interesting by donating wins to the ny teams

Pix wearing 90s throwback uniforms = yes

Phx I mean damn u autocorrect

lolbron throws a guy aside and then gets pissy when his teammate reacts basically
