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

Jalen and Simmons is kinda alright. Simmons voice never bugged me though.

Melo in gawd mode is fun.

wait harden dropped 30+ again?

hahaha 45 pts wtf

career high

If the rockets had a decent bench and some production out of the 4 they'd be really really good.

next year they'll contend imo

before this week, harden had 3 career 30 point games

45 points on 19 shots btw

i'm so mad I was a good son tonight and went to see Argo with my parents instead of staying inside for Beardsanity II

it's crazy that 7 of the 8 times that Rodman did this were for the Spurs in roughly a one year span

so in the history of the NBA, two players have more points than james harden in the first two games of a season: wilt chamberlain, michael jordan

wilt has first, second and fourth on that list. jordan is third, harden is fifth.

lakers are 0 and 3 lol

wtf happened to the celtics tonight

Lakers 0 and 3 for the first time in 34 years lol

nba tv says the bucks haven't opened an NBA game at home since 1984. how is that possible?

it's very very strange, the bucks announcers bring it up a lot.

well judging by the stats, Jennings pulverized them

If the rockets had a decent bench and some production out of the 4 they'd be really really good.

by the end of the season they'll be getting production out of the 4, I bet.

what's the update on royce white. is he still out indefinitely or will he be back when they come home?

he's in mchale's rookie doghouse. saw him on the bench tonight. surely ONE of those guys (white, morris, jones, motiejunas) will emerge but mchale's gotta play them first. and they desperately need a better backup pg. when lin and harden are both out it's grim.

"In the third quarter, I decided to get a little more aggressive," Hamilton said. "Some dude behind me called me Old Man River, so I had to show him how it's done."

yeah toney douglas is unbearably bad

i really don't like patterson or morris and wish mchale would give the young guys some burn but i guess it will take some time

so royce is flying?

Terrence Jones looked fantastic in preseason, I thought for sure he'd be in the rotation

no royce is taking long bus trips xp

Thomas Robinson got 12 minutes tonight.

it definitely seems like they're waiting for morris to play his way out of a job... shouldn't take too long

no royce is taking long bus trips xp

wow is he really? that's unreal. did he rent, like, a tour bus?

yeah he paid for a bus to drive him around

jesus

I'm not sure if he is going to take plane flights at some point since it's not feasible to do the bus all the time

also xanax is on the banned substance list so he can't take it for the flights

DAMN GUYS, bumming out here, just watching the Dubs game and Brandon Rush did some nasty work on his knee. Like Baron Davis last year type of ACL/MCL dislocated nastiness. Hurts my soul.

yeah looks season ending

right... will he even be active tomorrow night, for instance? google maps says atlanta to houston is about 13 hours. so he would have to be on the road, like, now.

if he's not going to fly there's some cities that he'll essentially be unable to go to, right? unless they had three days off or something like that

11/16, 18, 19 they have a portland/LA/utah roadie with one off day before the first game. presumably he would just go straight to LA?

I guess he'll bite the bullet 7 or 8 times a season

wtf happened to the celtics tonight

expert defense by beno udrih

things are looking up for the lakers tho

Dave McMenamin ‏@mcten
Kobe says he scored his 40 "on one foot" and would need the walking boot leaving the arena. Said he feels like his foot is about to fall off

they should trade pau for andrew bogut so all four of their stars are barely able to play

Bogut looks nice in his limited minutes tbf.

I read a brief description of the rush injury that made me not want to see any video of it.

Yeah dont bother. Makes me sick. Couldnt watch much more of the game after that. Z Bo felt so bad too, went and talked with him in the locker room after and looked shook when he came back.

Zbo delivered a clean hard foul too, it was just a bad landing.

Yeah.

i know this goes w/o saying but just seeing rockets highlights now and harden is just unreal

he's unstoppable on pick and rolls despite running a majority of them with a player (asik) who has no offensive game whatsoever
