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

better hope (day)nd(o)ne mixtape doesn't see that post

the link has a full cut and the ball handler commits two egregious double dribbles and maybe a travel in the first five seconds or so before he even crosses the kid over

you're right but tbf it was pretty cool xp

once during the height of and1 culture a guy did that throw the ball off the denfders forehead while doing fancy dirribling move to my friend then the next play my friend scored on him and checked the ball off the dudes head while yelling AND1 and he just tried really hard to pretend it didnt happen

and1 was entertaining, no doubt

smh pg

lagoon's campaign against PG is fun imo

Do have to wonder how many players have been nominated for pom whilst shooting 38%...

are there just no other guys in the east to nominate or something

i m posistive theres a paul george conspiracy, i will not rest

i mean bron is always available for nomination

he shot ~15% higher than george for the month

lol 15%. shiiiit

lebron in march: 27.1-6.5-6.4-2.1-0.4, 54% fg, 42% 3pt
george in march: 19.1-7.5-3.7-1.8-0.3, 38% fg, 30% 3pt

only plausible thing is whoever votes on this doesn't want to give player of the month to a team that presently has a sub .500 record on the month

lbj only gets considered if he shoots better than 60%

Why not Al Jefferson?

Or Kyle Lowry

Or John Wall

Or even D Will

All have been better ime

or me

big al has be absolutely beasting yeah

The last victory had come Jan. 29 on a buzzer beater by Turner in Boston, so long ago that forward Thaddeus Young, the one established Sixer, said, “Tell you the truth, I don’t even remember it.”

That Hot Sauce move is great, sorry 8-)

bucks and sixers only one game apart

sixers tied the record for losses in a row

at home vs detroit saturday, could conceivably win that i guess

Daryl Morey ‏@dmorey Mar 25
We do RT @jamesasteven: @dmorey Do nba GMs (to your knowledge) ever gain trade/transaction ideas from online message boards/fans?

agree, if the nba changes the draft lottery too much theyre gonna create unbeatable superteams

Daryl Morey ‏@dmorey 5m
Not to mention the value of a well run franchise getting multiple top draft picks on rookie scale contracts

Daryl Morey ‏@dmorey 7m
However, when well run franchises get the number one asset in the NBA, a top 5 player in the draft on a rookie scale contract, watch out

Daryl Morey ‏@dmorey 9m
Their is a tight historic correlation between poorly run franchises&top draft picks that generally does not go away once you make a top pick

Daryl Morey ‏@dmorey 12m
The studies being published on how long it takes to get back to contention after having a top draft pick all suffer from a fatal flaw

That's why bad lottery teams should either fire everyone right after winning the lottery and bring in a new regime

Or do what the sixers celtics etc are doing get a new set of dudes then trade all the players but make sure they know it's ok to totally suck for a couple years

I mean OKC was a lottery team for what 3 years straight but obv was going to get better

Also lol morey hangin round the internet lookin for trade ideas

morey is absolutely right

tweet "trade d12 for nate the great©" at morley. maybe he'll go for it.

Pat Bev torn meniscus. Dude woulda been tough in the playoffs too.

Somewhere in Oklahoma Russ Westbrook is laughing to himself.

just noticed the knicks are a game and a half outta eighth, @phoenix tonight.

(rooting super hard for the knicks to slip into the playoffs and get subsequently demolished btw)

Goddamn that silly Mutombo insurance commercial still kills me every time

saw an interesting idea that maybe D'Antoni should move to the NCAA, would be easy to recruit, kids love to play that way etc.

also wouldn't have to pretend to know anything about defense

pek comes back and doesn't miss a beat, they've got an interesting situation at the 5 in minny

as a fan of dumb players, I think Jordan Hill might be the dumbest in the NBA

That's cold, JR put in work for that crown

what does the dumb nba player all-star team look like

currently active?

is this actual dumb or basketball dumb? or both

what does the dumb nba player all-star team look like

nick young, javale, jordan hill is the frontcourt

If Tyshawn Taylor was still in the league I'd make him the PG

the wolves color commentator just said there's an "outside chance" kevin love stays in Minnesota.
