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

batum kinda playing like he's seeing double

(He took an elbow to the head early in the first quarter)

on haralabob's twitter he was saying something about how SVG was offered the spot on ESPN's basketball coverage that jalen rose now has but stern vetoed it - wtf?

yeah you didn't hear about that? Jeff Van Gundy spoke out about it.

I can't remember what SVG did that led to the grudge

man fuck stern, wtf

how does he even have a say in that? idgi

it used to be that Stern just did a totally awful thing every 3 or 4 years but now it's pretty much monthly

he has a say in it because ESPN has no editorial independence from the 3 major sports leagues

and knowing Stern I'm sure he's thought of all kinds of devious shit to pull if a network ever angered him

stern is just a gangster, straight up

and i mean that in a bad way!

ok batum missed dunk #2

gasol been playing almost the whole first quarter w/two fouls, i like what this team is doin

i swear we talk about this van gundy/stern stuff once a month

btw bob's insinuation that jalen was being deferential to the NBA bcuz stern vetoing SVG's involvement meant that jalen got a job is wrong on various levels

some how ilyasova is still plus on the season, i have no idea how that's possible

the heat's white uniforms look kinda clue up close but from distance (i.e. normal camera angle) they look like summer league warm ups or something

kinda cool*

breaking: wade wanders on defense, late on a close out, man hits a wide open three

Larry Sanders is averaging 12-12-1-1-4 per 36

yeah they need to get him some run

yeah that the thing w/all these minimal uniforms that seem to be happening this year

deron williams is wearing a red headband, you'd think they'd have replenished the headband stash

it must be some meaningful league wide thing zbos got one too

oh hmmm

christmas?

bulls/sixers tied at 41 at half, sounds about right

there's some kind of honoring of something going on around the nba tonight

i didn't really catch the whole thing, expand on this?

oh damn rip

wade's looking wade-ish tonight for the first time all season just about

Oh it's world AIDS day so that's what the red signifies

basically van gundy wouldve take jalens job is what hes saying

maybe the players wearing the headband have aids

i guess jalen was defending stern and/or the NBA in the pop thing. bob insinuated it was bcuz stern nixed SVG but i don't think that had much affect on jalen's situation... he's been with espn for years and seems pretty entrenched there.

jalen is also a huge challoper

breaking: norris cole can't guard deron williams

mo speights pretending to guard duncan is p lol

can someone get to the bottom of how the hell Derek Fisher is starting over Collison?
