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

the rockets make a lot of sense for melo tho

i like this breakdown -- and semi-harsh criticism -- of the heat's hyper-aggressive defense.

Damn Phil getting 12 milli a year!

he asked for it all in singles. delivered to him, in montana, on the back of a unicorn.

prob will get it too

not sure what happened to the Pacers but it's not good

Lala probably wouldn't hate houston as much as denver but it's not exactly NY

not necessarily... i'm not sure it's true for harden

nah I disagree, Harden should be good.

76ers mic the court well

Even though 76ers are going to make futility history by the end of the season, I love Brett Brown and hope they keep throughout the whole rebuild.

gross.

Goddamn p jax that is some MONEY for making three phone calls and maybe four trips to New York a year

I guess we all learned not to underestimate the zen master yet again

I mean he can't even do anything with that roster for a couple years and they barely have draft picks so I guess he has three jobs this summer 1 trick melo into signing 2 call Steve Kerr with coaching offer 3 call Jeff van gundy with coaching offer

3b call Stan van gundy with coaching offer his brother turned down and while he thinks about it yell psych 2009 champions fo lyfe sucka *click*

does stan-van run the triangle?

anyway, i kind of doubt jackson's ego would let him take a job like this if he truly had no plans for immediate roster improvement. not sure how he can accomplish it, but i guess anything's possible. KNICKS DYNASTY IS UPON THE LAND.

Michael Wallace ‏@WallaceNBA_ESPN -- If the Nuggets, up 14 entering 4th, avoid being, well, the Nuggets from here, they will deal Heat their most embarrassing loss of season

i get it. teams should conserve energy, and prioritize health, for the playoffs. but the heat are losing to some godawful teams in this stretch. not sure you can really say, "they'll just flip-the-switch in the playoffs." maybe they will, but ugh. . .

Ethan J. Skolnick ‏@EthanJSkolnick -- The narrative that everybody plays better against the Heat is becoming a crutch. Maybe the Heat just need to play better.

boom.

Are we prepared for a bobcats/bulls eastern conf finals

that's absurd.

it'll be wizards-knicks.

this game makes me want to karate chop a baby in the throat.

brow with a career high 37 with a couple minutes to go

All CCTV5 ever seems to show are Warriors games and Rockets games and I am totally fine with that

nobody told me the knicks won five straight

12 million a year is just nuts

Asked Paul Pierce for his reaction to Phil joining Knicks: "I don't talk about the Knicks. No Knicks questions. Ever."

Forgot how much I miss Jarret Jack's eyebrows

hiring Phil is completely insane, but I guess there's the possibility that he has a deal with the devil.

the one nice thing is I guess he has the rep to withstand an actual rebuilding process if melo leaves

Nothing more beautiful than a dribble-pullup-3 from Steph

Asked Paul Pierce for his reaction to Phil joining Knicks: "I don't talk about the Knicks. No Knicks questions. Ever."

lol knicks fans tonight one who was super amped re getting jackson told me their plan shd definitely include amnestying amare

totally predictable that Spencer Hawes would have one of his magical months of giving a shit right after getting traded.

man obama toilet paper isnt free

Having not watched the Cavs play at all this year and watching this on a shitty CRT, had the hopeful thought for half a sec that it was Bennett hitting those tough shots, then saw it was Waiters instead

― lag∞n, Saturday, March 15, 2014

this is totally the plan.

• Phase One: Amnesty Amar'e
• Phase Two: Sign Jordan, Pippen, Kobe, and Shaq

Getting rid of Amare would grant a lot of freedom for the Knicks

sure, but that's the joek, since nyk can't amnesty amar'e.

Michael Wallace ‏@WallaceNBA_ESPN -- Wade on roles: "It's never going 2 be ideal. Whenever u have this much talent, some1 is going 2 feel left out. We all have good intentions"

they're breaking-up after this season rip, miami maybe we can sign nate robinson and tyler hansbrough as replacements in the off-season.

lol at jimmer n boozers discussion of thibses substitution patterns at 2:40

okay i like boozer now.

Just perusing the standings to make sure the Knicks will miss the playoffs and saw Philadelphia - strk L19

Nineteen my god

yeah theyre really doin it

remember when they started the season 3-0

I don't really care about tanking but I feel like executives should get fined or something for losing streaks that ridiculous

Or everyone on the team should have to play in summer league and average double figures in something or their contracts are cancelled
