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

btw wtf at like 1000 new posts! If we all had league pass permanently we would need a new thread every week at that pace.

But for real, some uuuuuuggggggly hoops tonight.

xpost wes matthews

he score in a lot of ways, including the post, turns out that he isnt really effective at quasi-none of his repertory
in a way, the anti-harden (tho harden will shoot a lot of long 2s this year due to his situation as #1)

from this: http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/50812/conversation-starters-six-things-well-talk-about-this-season

The rest of the league has moved to a predictable half-court game. The high pick-and-roll is the new iso, and why not? It stretches the defense across the floor for quick point guards who can devour most coverages and dance into the paint.

(...) we may be stuck with the spread pick-and-roll’s ubiquity until the next round of rule changes.

crazy harden had his best game ever two days after joining a new team, like did they even practice together once

lakers should just fire mike brown right now before they start winning games

Hahahaha minimum 400 games, Mike Brown has the 5th best coaching win-percentage in NBA history.

That's one smart t-shirt

is that Kitty Pride??

hey check out this inspiring Eric Gordon interview, really excited for his comeback in 2014

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=v6SDtdQLKEY

76ers coach Doug Collins was asked the other day if he was an analytics guy.

"No. If I did that, I'd blow my brains out," Collins said after a practice last week. "There's 20-page printouts after every game - I would kill myself."

"My analytics are here . . ." Collins quickly pointed to his head. ". . . and here." He pointed just above the white waistband of his Sixers sweat suit - to his gut.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Free agent forward Troy Murphy has signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks, league source tells Y! Sports.

ok guys these gray pajama spurs alternate unis really are trash, such a shame

the offset spur logo and number combo just really offended my wife

these alties rule wtf

did bise say he was at the game tonight? there's a bunch of ILHers hitting big games over the next couple weeks i think?

reggie's keys to the game board had "old man river walk" meaning tim duncan and he called him "old man rivers" totally fucking up the pun-- miller in midseason form

m bise is the gray haired gentleman on the bench, u may know him as "gregg popovich"

lol @ mavs signing troy murphy, cubes gettin his lottery pick game tightened up

fukkn blackout

yeah it's on TNT

https://mobile.twitter.com/spencerhawes00/status/264183353375354880

the nerve on this guy to talk about anyone else's hair

also i just caught up and please someone post that parsons/lin photo like every 500 posts because it fucking cracks me up every time

tiago splitter looks like that random euro dude in the dorm who tries to be cool by buying a fancy brand of beer and then tries to sleep with everyone's girlfriend

this is just strictly going by his face

this game blows

sort of hate to say it but okc is gonna be a lot less fun this year

haha beautiful break by spurs and reggie had to go back to the "old man river walk" well...at least he got it right the second time

yeah not really feeling the downgrade for okc just in pure entertainment value but i forgot eric maynor is actually good so maybe the maynor-martin 2nd unit will be interesting

damn timmy

holy shit duncan!!

duncan totally writes checks at the grocery store

I've seen him at the grocery store. Looks pretty funny pushing a cart.

in my life, I have seen Jacque Vaughn and Bruce Bowen at target, and the famous bonner sighting at the OBGYN
saw David robinson at some hotel for some education conference I went to, he was big upping his fancy private school
saw george gervin talk to a group of HS journalism students of which I was one
my brother saw Brent Barry taking his son to drum lessons at mars music or Sam ash, whatever that store is now

also I will not be at a game prolly until my son is old enough to take along. was at a birthing class with my wife tonite, now we are on the couches with our doggies chillin hard

kawhi passes up too many open corner 3s

I can't believe there's only one game and yet we still get Reggie and Harlan. Hate these two so much.

marv and steve would have had the nets/knicks game

it was cancelled yesterday. Get those men to San Antonio, damn you! The stupid x the hyperbole = brain death.

watching westbrook pass up open shooters to shoot 20 footers off the dribble is getting old

I personally don't mind harlan that much, but reggie just makes everyone around him approx a gazillion times dumber and more obnoxious.

Maynor!

sick swish
