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

lillard hits a go-ahead shot with 12 seconds to go, yawn

They are involved in so many close games

this one was stupid, the popular rappers came back from 19 down (credit to them, they played hard as hell in the fourth) and took their first lead with 23 seconds to go, then just didn't have the execution at the end of the game.

The who now?

the raptors, it's an in-joke from like 2k posts into the previous regular season thread

Oh yes hah vaguely remember.

cavs are so fascinating

the popular raptors

hmmm

rudy gay's PER in sacto is 22.5 now btw, is he going to keep doing this?

he really was trying to play the right way in toronto this year. but it just didn't work. Casey is a pretty bad coach though...

Suns just need to ride this season out w this team imo

if they can get him just for okafor seems like why not, only downside is it maybe constrains their ability to do another trade since okafor is their big expiring

the lakers i guess wld have no reason to do the deal unless the suns threw someone else in tho

they have 4 first rounders

yeah but they shldnt trade one for pau, hes cooked

iirc all their first rounders are like in the 20-30 range

pau's averaging 17 and 10, he's not like well-done cooked or anything, but a first-rounder for half a year of pau seems kinda dumb

hes cooked trust me if theres one thing i know its when a euros cooked

there would have to be some sort of understanding that he would stay long term, maybe a sign and trade. but giving up the 21st pick in the draft for a few years of pau with the roster they have/are going to have seems like a good gamble

supposedly Pau is just one option they're considering, basically it's whatever the best thing is that they can get for okafor

Rondo looking more like old Rondo (minus the knock down J's.)

NBA Legion ‏@MySportsLegion -- Jason Kidd has been named January's Eastern Conference Coach of the Month.

lol

good to see the kid back at it. he's really comfortable dribbling w/his off hand huh.
xp

Nets struggling to score against the worst NBA defense in decades

why doesn't the coach of the month just draw up a killer play

yeah, now that he got rid of that stiff, laurence frank, there's nothing to hold him back.

oden looks really good. he's disrupting shots again, and really throws himself around the court. "no fear" is a good sign for him.

sounds like a lasting philosophy for greg oden

yeah. i mean, a lot of it is that he's just really big. if he can move, even a little, in the paint, he can disrupt shots. still, he's got a lot of skill, if only he can stay healthy(-ish).

Joseph Goodman ‏@JoeGoodmanJr -- Heat outscored Pistons 20-9 with Oden in the game.

proved by science!
