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

that article was hilariously bad!!

short on insight, but it comes from the heart.

It takes a lot of heart to come up with "Zen Masturbator". People get paid for this shit? lol

"I wasn't surprised by it," Bryant told "The Dan Patrick Show" on Wednesday. "He mentioned that that was likely to happen and I just wished him all the best. Like I said, there's only but so much meditation a person can do all day. You know what I mean? At some point you got to get up and do something."

Does Kobe really think Phil just sits around all day meditating.

yes

kobe is never not training or practicing or playing a game, he prob has a skewed idea of what normal people do in their spare time.

iirc

P jax looking p good, couple of years away from Kobe and junior buss seems like it was good for him, this job will probably kill him

Also I legit thought we were done with this fuckin guy already and he was just going to be an occasional author and professional twitter troll

lol get real man you know that guy wouldn't shy away from a fatass paycheck and more publicity. he woulda taken that laker job last year if the Buss crew hadn't fudged it up

wonder if young buss will take this as an example and figure out that he doesn't know what he's doing and should bring in a big name to do his job for him

I know I know spottie but sometimes hope is all we have

I really thought there was a chance his body was so messed up to that he was really done but I guess I'd take a zillion dollars to make three token appearances in NYC per year too

Since I wasn't going to watch a lot of jazz the last few years I kind of forgot how good a scorer al Jefferson is

Incidentally that was by far the best half I've seen Rubio play all season.

lol heat

that one's for obama

Had the exact same thought hahaha

*survivor uncle cliffy update*

AW MAN UNCLE CLIFF GOT ELIMINATED on like the first week he actually got some screen time. Total blindside. I'm bummed.

ha like seriously half an hour ago i was gonna ask for an uncle cliffy update!

everyone loved him so he was a threat to win so they got him out. They had a fun challenge tho where he had to grip onto a big pole in the sand and two peeps from the other team had to try and pry him off and drag him like 25 feet. they couldn't even budge the man and he was just basically smiling the whole time.

ha that Nash move is called "the midget"

whoa that last one

So are we still pretending that Paul George is a top 5 forward?

i was just looking at his monthly splits--dude really needs to decide if he's a 40% shooter or a 30% shooter from 3, it kind of matters and he doesn't seem to do middle ground.

the odds are seriously increasing that one of miami and indiana misses the east finals

yeah indy is totally losing to toronto or chicago

march doesn't matter

toronto has no chance of bearing the pacers or heat 4 times in 7

i'd be mildly concerned about the nets because they have actual talent but that's still not a great team

beating

to toronto, the heat and pacers are just a pot of honey

"It’s kind of weird," Dragic said of the mugging scene, "I came to the bench and everybody was looking down. I tried to give them the high five and nobody give them back. And I was like ‘what is going on?’ and then suddenly everybody jump on me. And Tuck, he poured ice water on me. It was like winning a Super Bowl."

he just needs to take fewer shots, its kind indys fault for having such a shitty offense and no legit first option, like im sure in a more functional system he could shoot high 30s from deep, he takes a lot of bad shots

also his head clearly got a lil fucked up by hitting every shot he threw up for two months and everyone calling him an mvp candidate

Gorgui Dieng!

maybe instead of trading Pekovic for a better complement to Love they already have one.

bah, Love and Pek play just fine together.

on offense, sure

ya dieng and love are an ideal pairing, itll be pretty cool for the next 1.2 seasons

Not like they didn't just give up 98 over 3 quarters. Always felt it was an Adelman/team defense issue.

It's extremely difficult to have a good defensive team when both of your bigs are very slow and don't block shots. I can't think of a good defensive team in the modern era whose starting 4 and 5 combined for 1.0 bpg. There probably is one but it's rare.

True enough, just feel more intelligent planning and a better culture on D would go a long way.

dame alost had a gorgeous putback dunk to close the first half and got hip-checked in mid-air -- he was way, way up -- and had a pretty scary fall

nic batum leads all players in rebounding in march by a fairly wide margin o_O

aw giannis

right now there is a high school freshman somewhere who will be one of the top picks of the 2018 draft and go to the celtics via nets from the kg/pierce trade
