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

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.

10 mins until

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.

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.

BEST SEASON EVER

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.

rondo rocking the pink shoes?

brandon bass kicks off the season by getting blocked twice

Bass in postseason form. :(

pierce looks really skinny!

and is on FIRE

pierce is shooting from like 28 ft

Damn, first time I've seen Waiters play-- like the aggressiveness.

Hi Brimstead! I think the '10 logo change was a big moment for your franchise and they're on the rise. DYK if Draymond Green had a decent pre-season? Left the draft thinking he'd be a big steal.

bass having no post game kills them vs the heat IMO. will he interesting to see how much impact Sullinger has in that respect.

hey uh miami, let's hold off longer than 4 minutes and 30 seconds into the season for the MVP chants for bron...unless you are just stating that he is currently in fact the mvp

bass also sometimes having to guard bron in the bosh-battier-lebron lineup also totally kills them

video game pace so far

this has been fun. lee looks like an immeasurable upgrade on the wing. Sullinger has no shot of guarding Battier tho. they could run Battier around screens w/ no intention of passing the ball just so Sullinger collapses on the court.

lol
