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

would crash into

yeah she uh, seems to have a lot of cushioning in a certain area of her body, fortunately

celtics win a trench war, 71-69

triple double for TMac 2.0

Which one is tmac 2.0 again?

more than a few totals like that tonight, all-star break right on time. xxp

austin rivers is truly a horrendous basketball player

ha wait did matt just call paul george tmac 2.0 or did someone else have a triple double tonight

man know yr Ilh memes

btw congratulation Boston celtics, 71s got to be the lowest winning score of the season no

hornets won by 36, did not reach 100 points.

so the clippers might score 50 in the first quarter

caron butler is 7/9 for 17 points in the quarter

10-1-6-2-0 for lebron, i mean cp3, in the first quarter

so guess who's still not first in WS/48? #greatstat

:b fwiw this is becoming a more popular comparison!

In other news Vince Carter has now scored more NBA points than Larry "Gordon Hayward 1.0" Bird.

Lol

so the tmac thing is a joke, right? i seem to remember tmac scoring more than 17 ppg

more like jonathan bender 2.0 amirite

btw kg may have cryptically announced his retirement last night

how so?

KG:"All Star Game for me at least is a chance to interact with everybody. For it being my last, I got some family coming down."

Reporter: Will this be your last All-Star Game?"

KG: "This is definitely my last All-Star Game."

Reporter: "Why do you say that it will be your last All-Star Game?

KG:"Why not?"

Reporter: "Because you have two years left on your contract."

KG: "Ya'll don't know what I know."

haha, seems pretty clear to me.

would be kind of awesome if he retired after this year imo

kg has been dropping hints since the summer i think that he's almost certainly done after this year

it would be funny if really what he meant was that if he did play next year he was going to somehow make himself ineligible for all-star voting on some "if elected i will not serve" style

btw congratulation Boston celtics, 71s got to be the lowest winning score of the season no

third-lowest ever*! (*shot clock era)

anybody wanna guess who, per synergy, is the leagues best jumpshooter this season?

jarret jack

lbj

duh, lebron

(should clarify that's spot-up shooting, minimum 90 attempts)

wouldn't KG be leaving like $20m on the table if he retired? seems like he's just saying that he wants a vacation in the middle of the season instead

gallinari vs gay

who you pick, ilh?

gallo

kg has talked retirement on and off for years so im sure part of it is just midseason grind, but i dont think money factors into it too much-- including this year he has made 300 million on his playing contracts alone

three hundred million dollars! wow

Unless he wants to be the next Oprah, he's probably pretty well set up already.

if the last 20 years in america has taught us anything, it's that mega-rich people aren't about to just flush $20m down the drain

brooks keeps playing perk this is awesome

nice frustration play kd

well so much for the Durant MVP thing

uhhhhhh lebron is doing really cool stuff

lebron is not a human being fyi

lebron with a disappointing 23-8-4 tonight.

oh wait did u say it's just halftime, oh well i guess he still has a chance to impress

heat look particulary insane tonight. if ray allen could shoot this would be 20.

they're making it seem inconceivable that they wouldn't take it all this year

the thing with the thunder is that they could still go supernova on any team even the heat but there's some pretty defined way to beat the heat and the thunder right now aren't built to do that

if the heat win this year they'll have more championships as a franchise than the knicks.
