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

Jennings has tied his career high in assists in each of the first 2 games

skiles w monta and jennings ... over the course of a season

you guys know who the only other player (lillard is the 2nd) to start his career with 3 20pt/7ast games is?

kind of upset I gave up cheap tickets to hang out in Green Bay, bad decision

skiles w monta and jennings ... over the course of a season

kinda weird to say this since Bogut was always hurt but this team looks totally different since that trade

oscar?

Clay - did you end up meeting with the appropriate people to make The Omen a reality off the board?

Not yet. I've run it by a bunch of locals who all love it. I'm supposed to have a casual meet with a couple pr folks in the coming week, but I've had meetings like this blown off more than once. I still think I can make it happen, but I'm a little worried its not "family-friendly" enough to happen above-the-board.

Damian Lillard is the first NBA player to score at least 20 points in each of his first three career games since Grant Hill in 1994.

Retweeted by The NBA on ESPN

@TrailBlazersPR: Damian Lillard and Oscar Robertson are only players in NBA history w/ at least 20 pts and 7 ast in their first 3 games.

blazers should embrace goths darkness it suits your color scheme

Heh I had a REAL MEN WEAR BLACK poster in my childhood bedroom. Buck Williams, Jerome Kersey, Duckworth in road unis. Been gothin' up my sports since I was 9.

Omer Asik in his last two games: 1-13 from the field for 2 points and 33 rebounds.

The Turkish Worm

also feeling good about dame lillard successs, maybe more dudes will stay in school and learn to PLAY THE RIGHT WAY *larry brown creeps up from behind a bush*

lmao Turkish worm is great

Turkish Worm is totally amazing.

it sounds like a cocktail or a bizarre prison ritual or a colloquial misnomer for a species of snake

well EZ I just got a text from a friend who posts on the message boards. I'd asked him to use The Omen a bunch. he says there were multiple posts referring to lillard by that name tonight so maybe the grass roots effort will stick!

lol ryan hollins is an idiot

congrats to the boston celtics for their first win of the 2012-2013 season

amazing speed by jennings releasing this shot

carl landry's face sort of annoys me

amazing speed by bango streaking across the court in the aftermath

Woohoo! The Omen spreads. Thanks Clay!

Wow I hadn't see the Jennings yet.

seeN

asik has missed like 3 simple put-backs that i've seen this game

all spazz team

johnhollinger John Hollinger
RT @JMcDonald_SAEN: Manu proclaims himself "very happy" to be back on floor, then corrects himself: "Wait ... happy is not a word anymore."

lol wut

jamal crawford has been incredible for the clippers so far

good comeback from clips atm

Back and forth

Paul is making a home at the ft line

cp3 about to have 27 points w/2 made FGs xp

man faried was totally dominant in the first half of this game

CP3 still flailing all over the place. I hate him.

ugh college football gtfo

OTMFM

Watched some of the Nets game and the best thing about all the new arena and that is the music they use in there. Jay must have hooked it up with full usage of the Def Jam back catalog or something cos all the music was all this classic hip hop. I think I heard the NY Finest beat in there somewhere.

Wow Odom is soooooo bad.

Haha so David Lee and Blake kinda got into it cos Blake was flopping and just before the refs spit them up Lee is in his face yelling over and over STOP FLOPPING STOP FLOPPING... I hope someone makes a gif of that.

Carl Landry is ballin for real.

hey dudes (clay/ez) i'm bummed to de-lurk for this but blazersedge comments been claiming 'omen' here and there since summer league. ps general thx and gratitude to all ilh folx best board in life

i'm in on THE OMEN, that was a big baller three, dude looks legit

otoh lin and harden looked kind of exhausted by the 4th and def OT

asik's stat lines so far are all-time

kind of ridiculous that the c's needed every second to squeak out a win over the wizards but then for some reason that team has kind of had boston's number the last few years

watched much of bklyn-raptors and enjoyed it, cj watson was a great pickup for them and of course gerald wallace gets injured in the last couple of seconds

Haha so David Lee and Blake kinda got into it cos Blake was flopping and just before the refs spit them up Lee is in his face yelling over and over STOP FLOPPING STOP FLOPPING... I hope someone makes a gif of that.

Yo bear bear how's kicks!

Will say both Raps and Cats look much improved this year, or at least both teams are expending much more effort. Looking out for teams w/ some bad chemistry problems to take over the bottom-of-league spots. Kings have more talent than both Raps/Cats -- and Thomas seems like a good leader -- but the Evans/Cousins/Thornton trio isn't the kind of nucleus you'd want to build around.

raptors improved from a historically bad league last defense two years ago to middle of the pack last year fwiw

Lillard gets my full approval. My only remaining concern is how quickly rookie burnout catches up with him, playing 30+ minutes a night across a full NBA schedule. The talent is all there, and the maturity. So glad he flew under radar until his college senior season was over.
