waiting for the other shoelace to drop: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

I Thomas is incredible. 2nd fav pg in the league atm

So uh guess its time to start talking Durant for MVP for real? Just from an advanced stats pov, Durant leads Bron in:

- Offensive Rtg
- Defensive Rtg
- Off Win Shares
- Def Win Shares
- Win Shares
- Win Shares per 48
- NBA's Player Impact Estimate (PIE, yum)

Not to mention the non-advanced fact that Durant is ballin

right now i'd guess durant would run-away with the mvp. but let's see how things play-out in the regular season's second-half.

i think it basically comes down to whether or not lebron cares about winning another mvp

this time last year durant was the mvp right?

otm also if the heat care about their regular season record, seems like he doesnt and they dont

If there's any consolation to the shitness of the East this year, it's that the Wizards are probably going to be in the playoffs

this time away from westie is obvs goot for durants mvp hopes and i feel it also might just be good for him and the thunder overall so when russ comes back the offense will be more weighted towards kd as it shd be

now just if perk and fisher would get season ending injuries

itd be funny if the playoffs came around and brooks benched them, he knew all along

yup. he's already one-foot-out-the-door back to the caveliers for next season.

Hey I have an idea what about Lebron to the Celtics.

willing to entertain

lebrondo

lbj is amazingly durable and has a lot of good years left. well worth a max for any team who can afford him. since Portland has no shot at him, i'd be happy to see him stay in the east.

Lebrondooooooooooo

I would def not care if my real goal was to three peat but remember last year the heat kind of won a lot of games in a row in February and March

Maybe this year they will get inspired by noted motivational speaker Richard Sherman

as someone who barely ever watches football, that was pretty amazing, like Macho Man came back from the dead to cut a promo

Yeah I just said to someone how he set them up to play Macho Man to Denver's Hulk Hogan in this year's Wrestlemania bowl.

knicks are getting lit up in every conceivable manner

i don't think the knicks have won a home game that started before sundown in like 3 years

lol i am not surprised

Yeah I think the lesson they took away from trying to go for the winning streak record last season was don't do that

ha yes totally forgot abt that

I think the Heat giving up a billion points to basically every team lately is not a good sign for them. There's coasting and then there's getting embarrassed.

^^yup

agree

Bron kinda blowing this hawks game

i never really understood how their defense worked anyway, maybe it was just magic and it wore off

rockets on fire

Blazers team D really struggles vs. Harden I think

batum gets a little too try-hard on help d against dynamic offenses and ends up losing his guy, so predictably it was parsons carving portland up early before batum started sticking to his guy.

lol harden hardmanning on meyers leonard

the rockets are gonna have another 70 point half

lin's looked bad lately, just really careless with his dribble and the ball

a bunch of guys on both teams are wearing purple shoes?

Sherman sounds really weird in that video w/Skip
