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

im having a hard time discerning yr schtick this season daniel

well, i do genuinely think the heat are very vulnerable.

"nba super weekend" cool branding job

i think pretty much everyone is vulnerable to cheat code durant

lol "cheat-code"?

not the right time to pull out the mvp chants, Miami fans

every team has shown vulnerability in stretches this year outside of maybe the Pacers.

But the heat def don't seem right. not sure they care yet obv

lol at reggie jacksons stunned head shaking wonder in that interview at durants play, m/l just muttering there are no words

interesting steven adams has played zero minutes this game considering hes the type of player the heat have a hard time dealing with, thunder roll even tho brooks of course let the heat dictate match ups

old, creaky, unathletic, no legitimate bigs, slowing defense. sad.

lol. yup.

But the heat def don't seem right. not sure they care yet obv

i'm sure they care about this game. fwiw, i read an interesting article, noting that the heat's defense -- which is so dependent on timing and creating havoc on the perimeter -- is something that needs to be fine-tuned through the regular season. hopefully it will be ready for the playoffs, but i wonder.

yeah there's no way the heat didn't care about this game. I'm sure LeBron is fucking pissed.

he looks it.

yeah didn't mean this game specifically just more generally

yeah I spent some time earlier thinking about how lbj probably is going to be sad and steaming all night

yeah the thing is you cant just care about individual games you have to put a streak of caring about multiple games together

RIP Heat

that's a problem for the heat. screw around so much during the regular-season, and maybe you can't "flip-the-switch" and become a monster team in the playoffs.

oh cool spurs vs bulls v excited to watch this *brings up dvr menu*

RI-MF-P Heat.

yeah you have to flip the switch during the regular season, im sure youll see the heat do that pretty soon, whether they can switch it on enough we will see

the really interesting thing abt this is perk only played 5 minutes, which suggests that the thunder didn't want to play bigs, but more disturbingly suggests that brooks can't differentiate between perk and adams.

"oh there's a big guy, cool"

lol otm

see now if he wasnt such a masterful defender thered be no way to justify playing him at all

maybe he thinks nba wyte collision is actually adams

"oh there's a big guy, cool"

i remember there was this kid in high school who was nice but just an utterly naive simpleton and we joked that he saw the world as a bunch of stick figures drawn in ms paint. that is sort of what i think abt brooks.

hah

brooks' hair weirds me out

that picture of him will haunt me

Does Scottie still get his tip frosted

don't keep track of his sexual affairs tbf

what did you google to find that, like "Scottie brooks" + "dark specter"

haha saw it one twitter http://www.sbnation.com/2014/1/29/5359388/someone-is-staring-into-scott-brooks-soul

maybe he can't actually see color like Stephen Colbert so he really can't tell them apart

i dont see color but i do see size

I saw Joakim Noah soulfully lamenting out of the corner of my eye and suddenly remembered that they traded luol Deng then that seemed weird so I thought I just made it up but then I looked it up and it happened and both teams in that trade are still horrible

Isnt that just a d league game on espn at the mo?

Deng trade was good move for Bulls

huge Bulls fan and I can't be bothered to pull up a feed of the game

the bulls are, not fun

Deng trade was good move for Bulls

anyone/everyone on bulls' roster is available 'cept for rose and noah. they're making room for melo.

hello mello.

god I hope Paxson/Forman are smarter than that xp
