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

And it's not like they don't know a thing or two about overpaying players

lin is reasonably paid

Yeah he's been better than I thought he would be

he makes more than twice as much as Goran Dragic!

I mean, Dragic is underpaid. But still.

reasonably overpaid

wait, I think google is wrong about that. He still makes more though.

there are better deals than lin out there for sure but he wouldnt be in the starting five bad contracts on the knicks

anyway, I think they should have kept him! But maybe the Lin-Anthony bad dynamic rumors are true. But I never wanted melo, so

shldve kept him, traded melo, murdered amare, deep fried felton, left jr at the club

lol

@ckamka: Over the last 632 days, D.J. Augustin & Derrick Rose each have two 20+ point games in a #Bulls uniform.

hibbert def just shot a 15 footer w/o jumping

lol curry with those dumb scoop layups why

dreams of nash

o no the warriors bench is in

remember when speights used to shoot 60% lol

omg no why is hibbert wearing google glasses

A++++ hibbert

this was the cringiest thing i saw today by far

probably cringiest thing of the last couple weeks except for maybe imago's posts on ilm

Just starting the 2nd quarter. This warriors bench man. Speights at center and 4 other gays that all play the same position is nagl.

For other gays huh

GUYS

the heat could obviously totally lose to the pacers this year but the east is so bad that they're gonna coast to the conference finals and then we'll see what happens. weird shit can happen in 7 games.

current games seem essentially meaningless to me.

he credits it entirely to lopez's elite boxing out abilities, but the eye-test tells me that he's about a zillion times more aggressive than I ever recall.

the heat look worse than they've looked in a very long time, tho wade has sat a bunch recently so it will probably depend on his health

heat are theoretically going to be playing Oden for six fouls a night over seven games in May so I mean who knows what's even possible in this world

i was actually thinking recently about how the clock is gonna strike midnight on the heat at any moment, like the big three all look incredible but their role players are all so bad and/or old

still think this post is otm. battier, allen, lewis, haslem are all corpses at this point. norris cole is probably their 4th best player

This game is gross

Pacers are so good

Yeah heat role players are either old or inconsistent or both.

but the eye-test tells me that he's about a zillion times more aggressive than I ever recall.

there was some study that said going after rebounds outside of ones zone is the most important thing

norris cole is probably their 4th best player

he loves bitcoin, remember

well roy hibbert is my enemy

West has always had that leg up step back

not like that?

Idk I remember him doing that but maybe it's just the dirkification of the league

it's the dead middle of the season for a back to back championship team who knows they won't play a truly meaningful game until june

--k3vin k.

we're in the dead middle of the season for a team that knows it won't play a meaningful game until the east finals... this is probably the absolute worst part of the season to be trying to draw any conclusions.

mark jackson timeouts drive me crazy:

"somebody gotta wake up"
"this is not championship material"

all their role players looked washed up last year too and then ray and battier won them the title so we'll see

jordan what part of the season are we in i didn't catch that

dude come on things do not look good now, you can't keep counting on that magic, at some point they need to look like a real team

again i will wait until wade is back at full strength to make a more complete judgment

until recently they were playing vv well in games when all big three started
