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

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

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.

poor delonte

dubs should take him; he needs to cut loose in an environment where management don't give a fuck. Could be like Nate Robinson from last season.

I feel like the first game of the season is always the Wizards

YAY SO DOES MINE CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE CELTICS/HEughughghghgh forgot that not every game viewable. Will settle for an hour of Irving; gosh that Wiz line-up looks rough w/o Wall.

Did Jan Vesely grow? Dude looks bigger out there.

Also just now realizing how soothing it is to hear some familiar broadcast commentary. Felt my chi center a bit when I heard them talk about Crawford not being a shy shooter.

FREE LEGAUE PASS YAHHHH

yeah jan vesely grew a little and is now pretty much 7'0

also pretty much a PF

vesely looks nice. shame he cant shoot

luke walton just drew an off foul; then travelled in offense

and for the third year in a row i ponder springing for league pass

Chuck and Kenny on my tv :)

Related: shaq is on my tv :(

He looks pretty beefed up, too. Would love to see him not be a bust; I guess he'll get plenty of pt this season. Is he one of those Euros who didn't start playing bball until they were 16? Feel like it's early enough to learn a few go-to shots.

A friend was kind enough to share his login with me; he gets to drink for free whenever I see him in NYC. Deal has worked out pretty well for both of us so far.

bucks got 7 player w more than 6-10

I'm tempted to go for league pass but only if the ipad feed isn't totally shitty

btw hello, new poster here. I enjoy the mirth and witty banter along with knowledge drops and top shelf youtubes.

Tom Haberstroh ‏@tomhaberstroh
Not used to Ray Allen in a Heat uni yet, but also? Josh Harrellson and LeBron James, locker neighbors.

Welcome brim, who u root for?

hello! what's your team?

Howdy Brim!

xp Dubs. I'm kinda on the nuggs bandwagon this year, though. Adding Dre to that lineup is just way too awesome.

SUP?

brimstead - I just tested it and league pass looks good on the ipad. New Game Time app they just released the other day is a big improvement.

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

It's gonna be baby steps w/r/t him actually having offensive skills

mere moments away...

omg that curry / barnes ad

Those championship warmups are sad.

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
