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

something's seriously wrong with la if they're letting Portland score 92 through 3.

Also lillard is whoa

again to clarify, pavlovic bricked a FT off the front rim and the lakers let him rumble through the lane and get his own rebound and lay it in

bogut looks exactly like jon caramanica

He's a fan favorite, getting supercharged by his fans. XP

I'm not sure I've ever seen this happen in a NBA game

and I've watched roughly 20,000 of them

Portland went in a 13-0 run to close the quarter

so in this suns game, it was 87-84 suns had the ball & golden state fouled. dragic misses THE FIRST and then makes THE SECOND so it's 87-85. curry gets the inbound and is fouled but misses both improbably. unfortunately the suns had no TOs and didn't get a good shot off coming up the court, but still super bizarre.

this portland bench is so embarrassing idgi

genuinely confused by sasha's employment by a team other than the celtics

it's game 2 and the lakers are totally unable to defend damian lillard. START THE PARADE.

wait wes matthews goes in the post?

that would be news

on the pavlovic FT, Jamison just didn't bother to box out and had his mouthpiece hanging out

damian lillard is going to quickly learn to not post to meyers leonard

hahaha lillard fouled on a 3

Wes went in the post? Did he go number 1 or number 2?

oh my LORD chris duhon is getting mins on the lakers

the lakers are so 2012-2013 nba game 2010-2011 miami heat right now, it's kind of hard for me to watch

meyers leonard doesn't know how to play basketball, but he's shown a lot of toughness and meanness vs. dwight tonight

OPO: zydrunas ilgauskus and carlos arroyo or chris duhon and jordan hill

he just hacked the fuck out of dwight tho

hey Leonard's just a big body with six fouls to give against Dwight I'm the western conf finals as far as I'm concerned

GOGGL3S

don't know if there's a boy scout patch for failing to hack a dude hard enough to prevent an and 1

Lol Leonard 19 ft set shot, my eyes

the lakers are totally falling apart

don't know if there's a boy scout patch for failing to hack a dude hard enough to prevent an and 1

hahaha

clay, the portland announcer hasn't disappointed tonight: "A T FOR KOBE. YOU DESERVE IT."

jerryd bayless looks utterly terrifying especially for someone named "jerryd"

the crazy thing is that mike rice is like universally beloved here! Everybody thinks he's like the apex of broadcasting, XP to j

what's his background--did he play or something?

VDN just rolled out a cp3-crawford-bledsoe-odom-turiaf lineup in the fourth quarter of a four-point game. he's getting it started early.

Kobe is he in late dementia??

batum went into his european soccer flop rain dance there for a beat before realizing it's no longer the olympics

i think i could collect some boards against odom and turiaf

yeah, this'll do

Trail Blazers PR ‏@TrailBlazersPR
Damian Lillard is the first NBA player with at least 21 points and nine assists in his first career game since LeBron James on Oct. 29, 2003

is batum concussed?

He was the 8th overall pick by the pistons in the early 60s! He went into coaching instead of playing iirc and coached some middling NCAA teams for quite awhile. XP

i'm really happy that the clippers signed jamal crawford and cemented my nonchalance about their entire existence

btw VDN still has the odom/turiaf frontline out there... many z-bounds are being had right now

dribble handoffs from dwight howard 20 ft from the basket

meek mill ad on nba tv

lakers are going to be bringing some high drama to the L this year.

z-bo and marc have 33 points and 21 rebounds... in a related note de'andre jordan is getting paid $12m a year

hide the kids etc

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
After last-minute flurry of extensions, top RFA's from Class of 2009 next summer: Jennings, Evans, Collison, Maynor, Teague.

lillard with these fadeaways....

batum has put up 26 on MWP tonight... let's talk more about how he's the lakers' lebron stopper

paul allen looks relatively healthy

what was the T on Kobe for??
