golden age for spurs fan schadenfreude

if you're looking for me I'm the white guy in the opposite-from-the-benches, pacers side wearing blue jeans and a dark sweater either typing on an iPhone or watching the game.

Any distinguishing marks on the back of your head? The main cameras are behind you

yes the back of my head is clearly shaking in disgust at will barton

leapin lillards this kid is so ridiculous

Seriously!

Shame that The Omen nickname was DOA. I kinda like Great Dame, but not as much.

curry is BALLIN

Curry has been doing the shoulder shimmy a bunch, I think its his go to celebration.

Dubs went ice cold for a long stretch.

1 point game 3.5 minutes left.

The 'rip-through' foul is sooooo lame.

Westbrook shooting 41.8% from the field this season

Westbrook had a really bad game.

tonight was the first night where i feel like the lakers losing just wasn't even a big deal anymore. everyone accepted it as a reality of life.

yep, expected now

"I just felt like I was invincible, unstoppable," Robinson said. "It's the Peter Pan theory -- you can't fly without happy thoughts."

watching indiana tonight, felt like it could be a good place for rudy gay to land. they really need a dynamic scorer / guy who can get his own shot in the worst way.

not that there's a lot there to move unless memphis would be interested in granger

NOW this is going to be fun: 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (part 3)

yeah they would have to move granger and no way in hell anyone is trading for that ude

Lakers 2 1/2 games better than the Wizards on the road this season. My God.

"He re-injured his shoulder; I don't know what that means," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters. "They'll re-evaluate him when we get back to Los Angeles."

D'Antoni added, "Honestly I don't really care. Fuck that guy, y'know?"

lol

Ricky pissed about getting benched. Maybe get the FG% over 25 bro.

"J.J. Barea's a flopping guy, so I tried to give him a taste of his own medicine," Watson told the Nets' postgame television broadcast afterward. "I hope I don't get fined, though."

FUN FUN FUN

Bryant asked Dwight Howard if he was bothered by playing alongside him, according to the Los Angeles Times, which first reported the meeting.

Bryant acknowledged he could be "hard to play with," according to the newspaper, and challenged Howard to speak up if he had a problem with it. Howard was "despondent" and did not offer much of a reply, according to a team source.

he "re-injured" his shoulder too. coincidence?

his butt, it hurts

Confirmed as the new logo

Hmm that image is way bigger than I thought it was!!

Watch out for those wing feathers, guys; one of them pokes you in the eye and it's all over. Clearly, a bird that wants to plunge its gawky-looking beak into your chest and remove your still-beating heart. And don't even get me started on the nasty-ass eyebrow on that mofo.

(uh, do birds have eyebrows?)

kids on the playground will make fun of them, call them Pellicants

Thrilled about this opportunity, but also bittersweet to leave three places I loved working: @bballprospectus, @seattlestorm and @pacers.

hollingers kid

next gm of the New Orleans pelicans

really like the secondary logos for the Peli's.

Wait so it the one I posted not the logo? I'm confused.

One you posted is primary. These are secondary, for advertising and such.

yaeh the type treatment is excellent all the way around.

Actually, looks like the one that says "New Orleans" (the one marked WORDMARK) is the primary logo, according to SI:

I like the mockup you reposted better.

More here, from the designer:

I like this one better. More simplified. The crescent and fleur de lis ones are super.

Crescent one kicks major ass. Fleur de Pelis a bit less so, but still neat.

damn I miss the stoner pelican logos I posted a couple weeks ago. wish they were actually real. haha.

they need to play this at every game from now till eternity
