the lakers have just pooped their big-boy pants: 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

so unchill

has anyone ever had a comeback season like Kirilenko is having? 6 years of huge decline and then all of a sudden the reset button gets hit?

Noah and M Gasol only big men (PF or C) getting more than 3.5 asts per game (Gasol 4.4, Noah 4.3)

i feel like it has happened but i struggling to come up w/an example xp

duncan!

Joakim Class Heroes

Yeah maybe but he has a cool house I bet and a hot tub and fine young ladies hanging around, wkiw.

Kirilenko has:

the highest FG% of his career
second highest spg (highest was 2004)
3rd highest rpg (highest since 2006)
3rd highest apg

Was he unhealthy his last couple years in the league before he split?

well he was always nicked up, the thing that's crazy is that these are his best numbers since 2006. 2006-7 was a disastrous season and he never recovered from that.

Weird. Got confidence back playing overseas?

maybe he grew to hate playing for the Jazz

i always assumed his problem was utah playing out of position at the 3 but now hes doin real good in that spot

Maybe Sloan wasnt the right coach for his style?

no something happened in 2007 and he just stopped giving a shit about basketball, hard to believe that he was able to just bring it all back like this

he had 5ish great years under Sloan

Dude Mo Williams!!

Hand in the face too dannnnnng

wow mo! pretty good defense by green too

man bismack got sonned like 3x tonight by blake and DJ

omg psycho t was sooooo upset when lil bro got that elbow aww

that's cute

WHA HAPPEN

WS the rando girl cheering at the bottom right.

AK:

1) back injuries & others. nbas really a hard demanding league. no practice, no rehab, nothing. just travel travel travel play meaningless games year after year until june
2) sloan
3) he absolutely destroyed everyone on european competition playing for russia the last few years. and he had more time off between games

ilx teams:

loved the list, would add warriors (jordan OTM, remember when they upset dallas? amazing atmosphere!)

i like jazz but foye......
they need to trade and release enes/gordon h./ALEC core!

and favors!

dude what heyward is the best player to watch on that team by a mile

the jazz tho wtf, what do you guys even like about watching the nba idgi

yeah i can't really sign off on the jazz

me neither

i like gordon a lot but tyrone is playing randy foye 30 minutes every night.

btw hayward just a much better defensive player this year

some nice numbers http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/haywago01/on-off/2013/

"Extremely, extremely big win for us," Jackson said of his message to the team. "I apologize for not being a normal coach. But we are 15-7. Enjoy it. And I put a warning out there. I know that Miami is undefeated, as far as this place goes, so I told the guys to be awfully careful. Enjoy themselves and let's get back to business tomorrow."

goddamn dude

WOW THE GRIZZ HIRED HOLLINGER

holy cow

eyyyyyy ILH is fully aboard the grizz bandwagon now

*cancels espn insider*

Thats big news!

you know who else used to be a sportswriter?

david kahn

Good thing they aren't making Hollinger the GM

yeah there's no comparison to the lunacy of hiring Kahn, as much as I dislike Hollinger

hiring David Kahn is like hiring a bartender or something

Is he just going to be an analyst then?
