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

Watched the condensed version of OKC-phx on league pass (pro tip!!) and omg

Obv he had the corpse of d fish on him but green just throwing in off balance threes was ridiculous

I really want phx in the playoffs! Could be one if the best 1 vs 8 series ever

P sure Matt A already knew this but I will take credit for reading Goran's wiki and bringing u this important fact

Also I love that it now surfaces in the thread every ten days or so

Good link moullet v cool

Goran and Zoran Dragic, fighting Superman on an asteroid near you

Lakers worst loss in franchise history last night haaaaaaa

Inside the NBA had a great little segment of intercutting lob city jams with that gif and the other one where he's just sitting there looking pissed.

granted i had smoked pot but i thought the heat-spurs game was super intense last night for a regular season game, it was really fun to watch

lol

belinelli was such a good signing for them. between parker, mills, manu, belinelli and kawhi the spurs have to have the best -- or definitely the deepest -- backcourt in the league

Man Malkovich seemed real bummed about the Lakers game, glad his hair implants worked out well though

In 3 games wearing Sleeved Jerseys this year, LeBron James is 3/25 outside of 4 feet. 0/14 on 3s.

Dunleavy's average speed of 4.5 MPH ranks higher than Parker, Rubio, Jennings, Monta, and Curry.

today in "here's an interesting statistic that i don't understand, let me share". smh

wait kevin are you saying that you don't understand that stat or that the tweeter doesn't

the tweeter

oh ha yeah ok

Biyombo has made a pretty nice leap this year:

hmm yeah

going from being a 25-min guy to a 15-min guy was prob a good idea for him

not so sure about all of this but interesting anyway http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10564843/carmelo-anthony-not-opt-contract-2014

windhorst is good but sort of has that jayson stark disease of taking FOREVER to get to the f'ing point

Man I still sports-hate joakim noah but that dude hustles

I can't tell if this bulls/grizz game is two good defenses or just a rock fight

Seeing miller back on the grizz makes me feel sad

Man you don't really notice what a weird name the 'pacers' is until you see it translated into chinese

Refs don't call self in the nba? Smh

i actually had a chinese translation basketball q for you the other day, 龜

Shoot

Swimcap has picked harden twice in 4 min. Lmao

Btw I'm switching to sneakers from boots cause of my knee problem up thread; Adidas and Nike etc are expensive as shit cause of import taxes so I'm gonna get a crazy color way from peak or Li Ning or something. Can't wait

Might pick up the TONY PARKER TP9 by PEAK

they have these new (i think?) screens on the side of the hoop stand, whatever you call that, at the 'moda center' and probably throughout the league, and it cycles through static images of mostly ads. they had a recurring one with a couple chinese (i assume?) characters at the game i went to last week and i was curious what it was about. took a crappy cell phone pic but it wasn't as clear as i thought. threw it up here: http://imgur.com/KtWuIFt maybe you can enlighten me!

That's a Chinese sportswear company that named themselves after MJ's Chinese name

http://www.qiaodan.com/

MJ tried to sue them iirc but I don't think he was successful

Lol off brand jumpman

"Slight sideways hopman"

sidleman

yeah i pretty much figured it was a sportswear thing, pretty interesting they're running ads presumably for chinese broadcast.

lol that they just named the company after a translation of mj though

I kinda feel pbev should get a haircut if he's gonna wear the lecter mask

Yo dayo report back on them peaks if you get them I'm always terrified to go outside the big shoe names because I find everything else (save some runner specialists like brooks) fall apart mad quick

It would be hilarious to rock some Damon jones li nings or something just around the house though

Man even with the big name shoes you might get ginobili'd

I feel so bad for d wade tho. The way of wade is literally one of the ugliest shoes I have ever seen

I really wanna find a bootleg pair of mutombos, the black white n red one. Don't wanna pay 150+ for the real thing

Man even with the big name shoes you might get ginobili'd

Tru tru

Best advice I found even though it sounds like some planned obsolescence bs is just replace yr shoes a lot, like probably way sooner than you think you need to, esp for running or hoops

Holy hell those way of wades got beat with an ugly stick wearing zubaz pants

The mostly-white version is ok basically an old air Jordan rip

Pacers getting blown the fuck up

man the rockets are embarrassing indy right now

Indy slumping at the wrrroooong time.
