yeah, i'm talkin dwight / yeah, i'm talkin steve: 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (part 1)

ball

i know we talked abt this before but what is up w/dwights legs in that pic

i think maybe whoever retouched that cover forgot to do the legs?

i'm taken aback by the wrinkled shorts... like, really, sports illustrated didn't have an iron on set?

e-ball-a virus

amare out 6-8 weeks btw

god i h8 that being at the top of the thread now im gonna barf whenever i open it

yah it looks overall way over sharpened but then they forgot to do anything else to the shorts and legs

both their expressions are terrible what a horrible photograph

#banjordan

i support it being at the top of the thread tho, perfectly encapsulates this fallen league

we must never forget this photo

dwight's right leg looks like its been on a rotisserie

when he asked to get that kobe on his knee they thought he meant kobe (beef)

lol

haha

i'm not gonna harp on this but...i would not have gone with a jay-z lyric or put a picture of the lakers at the top of this thread

i stuck with the good music theme kicked off by m bison & c'mon how could that NOT be at the top of this thread? LOOK AT THAT PHOTO

RIP NBA WYTES

i should note that i'm gonna be flying during the heat/celtics game tonight but i will read that entire issue on the plane so i'm slightly less angry

LOOK AT THAT PHOTO

they are expressing relief that finally, NOW, the lakers are going to be FUN

(now that kobe has three superstars to bitch at when they miss a crunch time shot)

steve's expression says cmon guys you cant hate me, im still steve nash...right?

ay i mean right

i will do predictions when i get home

Mavs beating the Heat was FUN. The Lakers stomping on mediocre teams during the reg season is hardly my idea of FUN.

http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201210/are-minnesota-timberwolves-too-white

hm

I'm just shocked there's finally a whiter team than the Pacers. pale arms race.

My impression is that for the guys in the locker room, balling skillz are about a hundred times more important than skin color.

Now, if the TWolves were sitting good black players in order to give underskilled white guys more minutes, the locker room would be a shambles in just a few months. But Adelman would NEVER do that in a million years.

the lakers are so cool, its gonna be mondo sweet rooting for them all the way to the finals this year, dribblin balls and dunking on LeBum Gaymes, laughin and clappin and hi fivin all the way

no rooting for the lakers itt

If you godless animals can root for the Heat, all bets are off for the rest of us

he has a point there GUYS

i do not necessarily "root for" the heat, i rooted for them to win the title last year so we would be done with the lebron narratives. i don't hate them tho it's true, but they seem way less hateable than the kobe/dwight lakers at least

I guess Eichmann had his reasons too.

I hated the Thunder more than the Heat by the finals. Ended up cheering for the Heat in the finals.

John Hollinger ‏@johnhollinger
In a major upset, @ZachLowe_NBA beat me to the 2012-13 season's first crack about Tyler Hansbrough's nonexistent passing ability.

man... what the fuck will be the lakers teamwork

imagine kobe dont play today (he is injured), misses 5 games, lakers start 5-0, he comes in ...

Heh, unintentional lol from that garbage article re: white Minnyballers: "Ron Edwards, a longtime Minneapolis civil rights advocate, told the Star-Tribune that it was 'somewhat disturbing' when he saw a game last season in which Wes Johnson was the only black player on the floor for the Timberwolves."

Civil rights advocate shaking his head, wondering why they weren't giving Beas some reptime.

Twenty minutes before I find out whether my friend's NBA LEAGUE PASS login still works.

Delonte West ‏@CharleeRedz13
And it just ain't right..imma leave it at that..no ill will towards no one...I'm just sittin here across from the arena wit tear in my eyes

I love the city of Dallas..I love playin in the NBA...no I'm not off my meds...no I ain't on no bipolar trip...this real people lives..

If I'm not what u lookin 4 ....That's fine...just dont kick me in my ass on the way out the door....I didn't do anything to deserve that...

Just ask u to talk with me....I'm a grown man...that's not above logic and reason...Before u go to the papers wit false information.

ACTUAL BASKETBALL

my league pass works! That's a good start.

Vinny looks like the wisecracking protagonist in a Ski School/Snowboard Academy movie

no way hes totally the sidekick

okc alternates are every bit as weird as you'd think btw, they look like they have nothing to do with their regular uniforms and are kind of retro but not in a committed way like the heat's floridians throwbacks and the vertical "thunder" stripe just looks bizarre

omg you're right

also made me think of the many facets of roger:

http://www.regrettablemusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/facetsofroger.jpg

That compilation video... Man, the Clippers are the worst.

it'd be nice if some fines were forthcoming from all that

cool shirt tho

http://thesportsgeeks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/floppersshirt.jpeg

Nice!

They should just issue a warning to the entire team in one fell swoop.

they should make the clippers wear that shirt in warmups

hey hoopsheads: are the sixers just unbelievably shitty or did the wolves just play that good last nite?

both.

sixers gave away their best player for a bad perm so

hehe

evan could be good tho

attn m bison:

can you please change this thread title to "the lakers have just pooped their big-boy pants: 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (part 1)"

thanks,

maybe we should switch to part 2 soon. Almost 5000 posts already this season!

all star break, mayne

or we could ... do ... 3 parts

I don't think number of parts matters much if we're posting so often.

the lakers have just pooped their big-boy pants

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=82996

yes i support creating a part 2 thread and calling it that

agreed, we cannot be contained within only two threads

lol chauncy billups flop on that last shot with zero actual contact, brilliant

still running on the fumes of that 04 ring rep

there was definitely a lot of flopping in that video and the clips are the worst offenders in the league but there was also some regular loose ball rough stuff that looked like it was randomly called which happens, a lot of utah defenders reaching instead of moving their feet, and some butthurt announcers used to every call going the home way in salt lake

support thread pt 2 but do the lakers really deserve 2 thread titles in a row, hmm

the lakers have just popped their big-boy pants

POOPED

pipped

you wanted it, you got it the lakers have just pooped their big-boy pants: 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

thw world of hoops thanks you

poop lol
