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

It was even coaching the Lakers right now. Is Kobe just yelling.

Bynum now out until January

Isaiah Austin has the slightest frame I've ever seen. I was for real scared his legs would snap in 2 at any moment.

Kobe Bryant
November 9
Tough day. I've seen coaches as well as friends come and go. No matter how many years I've been playing, it's still hard to deal with. I had a good relationship with Mike and I will continue to have one. I wish him and his family nothing but the best. I spoke with him today and thanked him for all of his hard work and sacrifice.

As a team, we must focus our energy on tonight's game. We must block out the weight of today's news and simply do our jobs to the best of our ability.

I'm not sure what direction we are heading in next. All I can do is focus on the here and now.
Mamba out

Sam (Boston)

Is there any statistical validity to the notion that some players are more injury prone than others? Or is this just a commonly misguided opinion?
John Hollinger (3:01 PM)

There is some validity to it, but the correlation isn't nearly as high as a lot of people suspect. Unless there's a real, known defect, I wouldn't worry too much about past injury history as a predictor of future problems.
John Hollinger (3:01 PM)

Exception: Greg Oden.

YEAH AFLAC!

Haha wtf. So good to have Sheed back again, gottasay.

Ball don't-
AFLAC

AFLAC AFAIK

wolves beat writer was twittering that the wolves might be kicking the tires on josh howard because they are so decimated by injuries

"I get scared of a lot of attention," Lin says. "I get scared of the spotlight. And I'm not talking about on the basketball court. So I was just in shock when everything happened. I was startled about it all. I just thought, 'Oh man, I wish some of this stuff could slow down.'

"Over time, I became more and more used to do it. I became more savvy about it, able to get a better perspective about it. I was able to open up more.

"Now, I'm at the point where if I meet somebody, I look at their reaction: If it's over the top, that's a huge red flag. … I won't let any of my friends become a fan. To me, you're either a friend or you're a fan. That doesn't mean my friends can't support me, because they all do, but they can't treat me differently than they would treat someone else. None of my friends are in awe of me."

When Lin agreed to that offer sheet with the Rockets, neither he nor the organization ever believed it wouldn't be matched. New York encouraged him to get it, and he did. "I signed it, and I thought I was going back to New York," he says.

Paul Millsap is 8-12 on threes this season. Most he's ever made in a season is 9.
