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

Warriors have been looking right. Pumped for tomorrow vs Clippers.

I'm willing to put money on at least one mix-up between J Oneal and Blake

haha that's probably a good bet

Iggy last night <3

yeah that is one of the most incredible sequences ever

warriors clips is an awesome rivalry imo.. last clippers game I went to was clips/warriors when the clips had blake and eric gordon, no cp3. amazing shootout and got quite heated, even back then.

Iguodala's block was with the left hand, the dunk was right hand.

With the right hand he giveth. With the left he taketh away.

shhhhhiyet

Oh hey, it's the nickname jerseys. I hadn't seen those yet.

is jason kidd a great coach? i feel like jason kidd has to be a great coach.

or a serial killer.

Uh I don't think he's very good yet but he was thrown in a shark tank immediately

It's hard to tell if there things that have improved Brooklyn are coaching ideas or just wacky lineup necessities borne of injury

That said he never seems to be doing or thinking anything any time he's shown on tv and I've watched too much of this team

they look pretty good to me, even injury-depleted.

Ha I love that no one even bothered to note that kobels is officially out for the season

I think it might really be over for the kobester

he's acting like someone who's coming back next year (by demanding MDA get fired).

jason kidd's pinstripe suit jacket, casual check shirt, and no tie combo makes me extremely upset

they look pretty good to me, even injury-depleted.

They've been way better since Jan 1 and also remember pierce hates the heat with the fury of a thousand suns

They're not actually that good though and it's mostly that they are missing their best player and Deron is about 60% of what he used to be but most everyone still thinks he's a superstar

Oh Kobe will definitely be back next year no way he leaves money on the table but I can see 25-game "injury plagued" seasons coming a mile away

He's going to act like he's coming back every year until he's sixty of course (see also Jordan, M.)

jordan should be playing, right now.

Coaches should be required by law to wear ties maybe some slack for preseason

I love pop but I think no tie coaching is his fault maybe?

heat rally squirrel.

I mean in basketball obv other sports baseball managers dress like they might run out to shag some fly balls and belichick looks like he slept in the gutter before games

well pop's navy blazer/khakis combo is schlubby but is at least an outfit that makes sense, while kidd looks like he put on a blindfold and then selected items from his closet

Lol pierce just loves dueling lebron

Ha lol cad

Yeah Kidd usually looks like he had to get dressed before dawn but he's a terrible human anyway so it's just one more thing ya know

Tim Reynolds ‏@ByTimReynolds -- Chris Bosh just scored the 15,000th point of his career with that 3

milestone, of sorts.

oh boy.

heat won't make the eastern-conference finals. get ready for pacers-nets or pacers-wizards.

Zach Lowe ‏@ZachLowe_NBA -- No one will be excited to play Nets in postseason. Lots of respect in the East for those guys, and how their style translates to playoffs.

sigh.

Nowitzki passes Havlicek for 12th on the all-time scoring list. Nique next.

hopefully when he passes nique we'll hear from Wilkins about how it was so much harder to score back then

smh

does robin lopez always shoot free throws from several inches behind the line?

Ethan Strauss ‏@SherwoodStrauss -- Is it okay to talk about how Ray Allen's 26 MPG is hurting Miami?

sure!

He should become a hybrid and get better mpg that way

avery johnson's voice and style of speaking confound me

oh hey bledsoe's back, go suns

Chris Palmer ‏@ChrisPalmerNBA -- If the Clippers win the west with Blake putting up 24p/10r/4a...like I said far from over.

MVP MVP MVP

oof hard fall for aldridge

it's pretty amazing how they can't get anyone better than him or collins

if aldridge is out for significant time that could shake up the playoff picture

how bad? what body part?

I been saying to my co-worker I think the Clips might win the west, but I was too embarrassed to say it around here

video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaSXayYIVJQ it's not grizzly or anything, just a hard fall

injury looks to be either to tailbone, hip, or leg. teammates had to help him to the locker room and he didn't shoot his free throws.

announcers don't seem to be taking it very seriously, even though aldridge is clearly writhing in pain.

hard fall looks like a butt bruise too me. hopefully not spine or broken bones

imo there are 5 teams in the west that have a shot and wouldnt be a surprise

big guys are heavy. bones can crack. I hope Aldridge is just bruised.
