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

NYK playing well now, to impress the new boss.

also obvs biding his time until he can swoop in and coach them to a title

haha

that would be very unlike him, since jackson is well known for building and coaching a champion from scratch.

Phil: Yo, Chris... Gonna say no to resigning Amar'e. Now gimme 15 billion dollars

phil: we will assemble a champion. is derek fisher a free agent?

nyk playing tonight to impress phil (new boss from afar). cavs tonight playing to impress lebron (watching game in a cavs suite).

Lol Phil ain't doing that shit he's playing us again y'all

But wait doesn't he usually profess some love for the Knicks since he played for them

And you know there's some part of him that hates that pat Riley gets this in his bio and he doesn't: "He is the first and only North American sports figure to win a championship as a player, coach (both assistant and head), and executive."

lol yeah prob

this game is a comedy of errors. phil should call lebron, right now, and both take a vow to stay in their current roles.

can anyone think of a precedent for an active nba player sitting in the private box at another team's arena for a regular season game against a third team?

was wondering the same thing. was also wondering -- while z seems like a good player and good fellow -- whether retiring his jersey was something the caveliers would do if they weren't trying to woo back lebron this offseason.

yo spencer hawes is awful

spencer haws more like

hm. carmelo scores. normally he's a pass-first player, but i guess he had the perfect angle.

No joke haw is a cool fruit and you can make a ton of great stuff from it

caveliers announcers pearls of wisdom, with 3:30 left:

• "you need to get scores and stops now"
• "the time for errors is over"
• "they have to push now"
• "there's time, but you cannot afford too many mistakes"

cavs lose by double digits RIP to lebron

holy hell these nba game-time announcers talking about how the knicks are ascendant.

baron davis: "i like the position the knicks are in; they're desperate." uh-huh.

it's nice to see them desperately flailing for rebounds rather than depressingly sleepwalking through games

new york knicks 2013 -- 2014: "desperately flailing for rebounds"

on a good night!

What the heck is Chris Paul wearing

are you sure it's chris, and not cliff?

cliff has terrible fashion sense.

You need to stop with these Chris/cliff jokes buddy

i know i know.

unless you're getting paid by state farm

i wish.

apropos of nothing: baron davis always looks so fly

omg that layup attempt by turkoglu

So much Teague fail over the last minute.

TBF I was surprised they called the foul against Blake earlier

After Teague had basically attempted to mug CP3 like five times

That really was a mess

wuuut

3 way tie for no 1 record bw san, okc, and ind right now

the hawks have lost 14 out of 15 and are still firmly in the 8th seed

^what's up with this are they trying to fall out of the playoffs? i guess dropping to ninth and getting in the lottery is a lot better than a four-game sweep against the pacers or heat, and we've definitely seen enough first round exits for the hawks over the last few years so it's not like it would be some huge psychological boost

Seattle has more players currently in the NBA than Brooklyn Manhattan and The Bronx combined.

this is great.
