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

like during the orlando games the guys got into a little cul-de-sac of talking about how rad oladipo is for a minute or so and i was just like "oh man they're gonna get calls about this" which made me kinda sad about humanity for a second.

BG had 20 pts 8 rebs 3 stls 2 blks in the first half and didn't even try that hard in the second quarter

kelly olynyk is not pleasing to the eye

Curry bro make a shot

ha the clips up 41 with a quarter still to go

I thnk the Suns are a .500 team at best w/out bledsoe. Not sure they make it in now tbf.

altho not sure the extent of bleds knee yet, exploratory surgery so hopefully its just nothing crazy

http://stats.nba.com/playerStats.html?PlayerID=201599&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&groupFeedtype=splitsShooting&MeasureType=Base&PerMode=Totals

the way nba.com organizes its shooting splits is horrible, but it looks like deandre's missed 13 dunks this season including the 2 tonight. really fascinating subplot. he's 12 for 17 on "dunk shots", whatever that is

I don't think the nba stats site is user-friendly at all

yeah it's awful

i was looking for like league leaders in PER the other day and couldn't find it and decided i was dumb but yeah the layout kinda sucks feel like i need a walkthrough

the interactive box score thing could have been a real game changer i would probably spend like 3 hours there a day if only it was easy to use and fast

close one in oakland, 30 seconds left

lol warriors crew going nuts that they didn't could crash

didn't """FOUL"""

Steph!

there it is

we'll take it

warriors something like 15-16 games decided by 4 or less points

Couple notables from the night:

-Kendall Marshall watch: 16 and 10 assists in another big loss.
-Anthony Bennett dropped a one trillion.
-Rudy Gay watch: 22-10-5 on 8-13 shooting
-Blake Griffin did 33-12-4-4-2 in 30 minutes on 12-15 shooting
-Pacers blew out the Wiz despite 2-14 shooting night from PG and held the Wiz to 66 points the lowest team total this year

suns reporting that bled should return this season

PG had a fun line, something like 8-14-6-2

humphries: "fuck!"

That rationale would make sense considering how much time Chandler makes for his children. The joy he gets out of family time is well known. He made a trip this year to the U.S. Open with his tennis-playing daughter and has devoted his rare free Sundays to his wife and kids, ages 3, 4 and 7.

<3

Chandler could just have a genetically bad immune system, IDK

late lols @ Kate Upton scrambling ILH for a bit.

Have to admit I liked the nickname jerseys way more than I thought I would.

Ha, finally got around to seeing all the JR Smith shoelace stuff; up until now I thought he was tying up his teammates shoes (?), thought idk sounds cute, why is this a problem.

Shoelace untying, water spilling, banner year for #VetTrix

4-6 weeks for Bledsoe. Removed meniscus. Bad move long term but he wants to get paid so idk.

oh no they took it out! terrible

don't you like need yr meniscus?

i guess you don't but you'll end up a semi-cripple like wade

*semi*, ha.

that guy is finished.

Haha notorious jvg and gray mamba! Excellent

Would totally buy a notorious jvg jersey except its a heat one maybe we should all chip in on one for j0rd or something

-Anthony Bennett dropped a one trillion.

You know who is super excited about this Bennett problem yup Austin Rivers

wow, bledsoe. damn.

i hoping it wasnt just some terrible decision and that his meniscus was beyond repair or something

Bledsoe had a previous problem with that knee right? I wonder if they were looking at being able to play for five years mostly healthy or ten years always on fete injured list

Hopefully he'll be good- can anyone think of other players with similar?

how did autocorrect change "the" to "fete" burn in hell jony ive

Bledsoe slotting nicely into the "talented shooting guard from the Clippers who is now always going to be injured" position

But yeah I asked upthread who are the explosive young point guards who have come back 100% from knee injuries

I guess Shaun Livingston?

DERIICK ROSE HAHA

hypebrook im guessing is prob gonna be totally ok

Livingston is an ok reserve but he was a good solid starter who was coming into his own. I'd say he's about 65% of what he was.

Yeah it's just two surgeries in less than a year on the same knee is kind of worrying xp

well three actually

Can't wait til the day when you like lick a swab or something and then a month later the doctor's grown some cartilage from your tongue cells and stitches it into yer knee

otm
