2014-15 NBA regular season thread: 82 games of injuries and inevitabilities

it is kinda the worst place on earth tho

washington tarantulas has a nice rhythm

as does dc spiders

their mascot could just be millions of live spiders they release into the arena during player intros

More pro sports teams should go with arthropod mascots!

mascots nicknames

surprised there isn't a kraken team yet, prob inevitable

black uniforms w red details

f the sonics, seattle squids man

das a good one too!

Das Boots

Seattle Cephalopods IMO (squids are mostly lame unless you're talking about Giant/Colossal MFs).

nets need to get @shayneHBA to redesign their uniforms, theyre so close already

^important concept imo, the nets had the right idea but no attention to detail, need to get streetwear pro to round them into form

obv giant squids man this is a mascot after all

Lolol good call on the HBA/Nets connection

The Seattle PYREX

Sorry Clay, I'm being a science nerd!

re: all the KD to DC talk, if they win a title this season and there's a chance of keeping that gang together in OKC (jackson, ibaka, westbrook, KD), shite coach or not he's staying in OKC at least for a little while, maybe a 2 or 3 yr deal on par with LBJ's latest.

if they don't, he's going SOMEWHERE. my biggest fear is him becoming a fucking laker i think i might claw my eyes out

KD is totally going back to DC, it's written in stone

otm

@kpelton From today's Insider Daily, Kobe Bryant led the NBA in preseason usage at 38.2% of Lakers plays

gonna be such a beautiful year

its so perfect

how are the lakers on TV on opening night

i mean i know how but really

between golden state, the clippers, the suns and the blazers the nba's far west has had a total renaissance and yet we still haven't been able to unshackle national television from the lakers

lakers are so by far the most popular nba team its hopeless

it effectively showcases the new model Loser Kobe who takes 50% of all laker shots and makes 32% of them, while the rest of the team mills around waving their arms for a pass

not to mention northwest division champion oklahoma city sorry this will never not bug me xp

i mean look at this fucking disgusting bullshit

also the rest of the entire globe is a deep purple too

a good 75 percent of lakers fandom is fucking delusional and the remaining portion is loyal regardless, and almost all other viewers are in it for the schadenfreude or the NBA-soap-opera lols - deadspin would lose like 40 percent of its NBA-related posts if the lakers disappeared

canada cant even bring itself to root for its only fn team

bc aint loyal

It looks like there's maybe some Grizzlies fans in deep alaska and I'm assuming they are actual bears?

stands to reason

xpost loooollllllll

Who thinks the Spurs are gonna max Kawhi?

not me

that would be crazy

has he not earned it?????

they wouldn't let him walk tho, idk maybe you max him now just cuz the cap will rise so much in a couple years?

the idea of "max" is so loaded but i don't think he's worth that money

he's more igoudala on a max than paul george on a max imo

NBA should just give max deals to everyone.

if kawhi resigns with them (at any money) he will outlive the parker/duncan/manu core and as good as kawhi has played in the playoffs you don't want to turn over your franchise with him making as much money as possible
