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

Shaq has gotten so much better. I am fine w him now.

haralabob intimated this on twitter but the princeton offense was originated by a bunch of unathletic, untalented white dudes to gain an advantage and prob shouldn't be put in place when you have 4 of the top 25 players in the nba

btw haralabob is totes canadian, was weirding me out

the simmons/lowe/bob (simmons calls him bob) podcast is highly recommended

Staying here until Who He Play For, obviously

yeah I've got some shit to do right now but, I mean, who he play for

hopefully they don't fuck it up like they did last year

Basketball!!!!

otm

Haha rondo with a tech and a flagrant on opening night is perfect.

dion waiters def won the battle w/ brad beal tonight

oh man, can i just say lol lakers. especially dwight's fts.

<3 pp & doc <3

shaq went 1-4!! how did he not know who gerald green plays for??

er, chuck. i need to go to sleep.

Ernie crushing Shaquille with the chair loooool

yeah that was fantastic

dominic mcguire was a tough one

"I want my accountant from Princeton, not my offense"

yeah i didn't know mcguire and willie green

the princeton offense was pretty much a juggernaut for the Kings but they had the best combo of passing big men ever

And they didn't have Kobe.

fire brown, call diantoni

no joke

just to say hi?

hey mike whats up yeah lol the princeton offense can you believe it anyway got to go ttyl

FUCK i forgot who he play for and went to bed!

the problem w/the princeton offense is they have eddie jordan there to implement it and hes not really very good

and also they have the greatest offensive freelancing point guard of the last...25?...years now and probably shouldn't stick him with a straightjacket of a scheme

also, didn't steve get divorced recently? all he has to do is show up in silverlake with that outfit and bam

damn, pflanns http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2012/10/31/3580020/heat-vs-celtics-kevin-garnett-ray-allen-rivalry

"This is Paul," she said. "He's been talking to people about you all summer."

Without breaking stride or turning around, Garnett spoke: "They tell you lies, man."

lol

pflanns at sb nation huh, quite an empire theyre building over there

yeah... not sure what exactly his role is but it will be cool to see him write about the league in general (presumably)

ya just says writes abt the nba in his profile

gotta say that i'm enjoying these new blake/kia commercials

they r really good

one thing i keep thinking about watching this game now is boston's rotation this year shows how completely embarrassing their rotation was last year esp after bradley went out

their bench was GARBAGE

god, cole looks fucking stupid. shooting form still looks improved tho.

hes going to an 80s party later

Really happy to see Collison play well last night. He can be a contender's pg as long as he doesn't have to be a big-time distributor / half-court pg.

starting to feel like bosh is underrated nationally now that he's been put thru the "you're way worse than wade & bron" gauntlet. he has to have the most complete offensive game of any big man in the league (maybe outside of... dirk?)

i love PP yelling at sullinger calling him "sully" during defensive possessions

Would like to go on record saying that both TrueHoop & SBNation's redesigns A) look prettier, and B) suck beyond belief now that there's about 3X more worthless pageview posts and I have to go clicking around for posts longer than a paragraph. Gonna have to figure out the feed URLs to I can just have a calm reverse-chron view of this shit.

I know this thread is named after that kanye song but I keep thinking of the fat joe song and imagining fat joe 'singing' the title and it's like ew

also want to register my late approval for 'LeBum Gaymes'

pau

pau doesn't hit threes also bosh is the best big man in the league cutting to the hoop (i learned this yesterday reading SI's nba preview issue which has an arguably unnecessarily long spread on the pick & roll)

lebron's... noises during/after a fastbreak dunk as mic'd by TNT were pretty "....."

so lebron's cramps - is this a thing now, didn't he cramp up real bad in the finals too
