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

I mean I just checked the highlights. Was having dinner with some friends, did not watch.

i don't know what the score was exactly but my recollection was that the 81 game was closer than this one. that lakers team was bad

melos before bros

1 2 3 4 T
TOR 36 27 22 19 104
LAL 29 20 42 31 122

wild scoring swing from half to half

Melo doesn't deserve 81, he'd never live tweet a replay of it on ESPN Classic a decade later #countonit

The Lakers trailed by as many as 18 points early in the third quarter, angering Bryant.

lmao

kobe is such a foul individual

kobe hashtags are a national treasure

FIVE 40-point games this week

KD, Gay, DeRoza, LMA, Melo

Asked his view of Woodson’s defensive system, Smith said: “That’s really not my area of expertise. I’m more of a scoring-type player. I’ll leave that to those guys. Whatever they want to do, it’s OK with me. Just let me know.” -

haha perfect quote

They just showed that double travel again, it's unfathomable

In order to get stronger, healthier and even richer, Timberwolves center Nikola Pekovic first must regress all the way back to his baby days.

Three times a week, he’s in the Target Center basement weight room down on his stomach or elbows or all fours, making small, measured movements intended to replicate how an infant learns to crawl, roll, sit and eventually walk.

The tattooed, self-declared “real man” whom opponents call probably the NBA’s strongest also will deliver, if the mood strikes him, sound effects along with the delicate motions designed to strengthen and stabilize his smaller muscles after he has spent a lifetime pumping the biggest ones.

“Waaaaaaa,” he says, contorting his face and mimicking a baby’s cry.

ha what

Now Pekovic himself impersonates a baby, a bear and a beauty queen in the weight room without hearing so much as a snicker from a teammate.

“I think he enjoys the baby ones better because then he gets to make the noises,” Love said. “He’s a big baby. A big teddy bear, too, though.”

<3 Pek

lol I am reading going clear and that sounds like some dianetics shit

weird

chandler parsons got ten threes over here all in the 2nd half

whoa. tobias harris did 28-20 tonight

I was trying to think of other explosive scoring stretches the other day and iirc Arenas had a month in like late '06 where he had a couple 50-point games and a bunch of 30 pointers and a handful of game winners too.

wait that pek quote is some fanfic right

yeah that November-January stretch was nuts: http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/arenagi01/gamelog/2007/

lame finish for houston there

yeah their last two possessions were both very sad

just seemed like they didn't have that elaborate a play drawn up to account for where the defensive pressure would obviously be

another nice griffin game: 26-13-7

can't believe this melo

BTW he also had 13 rebs. Also, zero assists, but obvs you do not score 62 points by passing ever.

man, good basketball tonight. Suns/Wizards is good too.

In that Knicks blowout of the Bobcats the whole Knicks bench all got at least 7 minutes of playing time, except for Amare out with a sprain, oh, and:

World Peace F Did Not Play - COACH'S DECISION

some great D from the wizards tonight

dragic between the legs to plumdawg for the jam <3

Now I'm over to Pacers/Kings, why because it look intersting that SAC is actually winning, and I figure now is the part where Pacers turn it up

holy fuck guys, Marcus Thornton has 37 in the 3rd

FIVE 40-point games this week

KD, Gay, DeRoza, LMA, Melo

I wonder how you would basketballreference most points in a game by a rando

you can select for hall of fame thatd get you part of the way but wouldnt really help with current players

tony delk had like 52 once

purvis short w 59pts is look v promising http://bkref.com/tiny/IHoLY

http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/200504190DEN.html

yeah I tried no hall of fame plus reserve, but I think that eliminated some scrubby starters. Nick Anderson topped the list with 50.
