2014-15 NBA regular season thread: 82 games of injuries and inevitabilities

c'mon Milwaukee is getting that 8-spot

lol probs not

i think the east will be deeper this year than it has been recently tho

Would like to thank everyone in advance for the 6k+ Mike Woodson time capsule thread, which I will be setting aside a few hours to read through today to I know wtf happened after Lebron signed with ... the Cavs, maybe? Did that happen?

NB that thread has over 150mb of jpgs and gifs, good job good effort, folks.

btw free league pass until like the 4th i think

Oooh ty for this I always forget

btw Kev you have the raptors falling out of the playoffs?

oh duh the second hawks should be the raptors

nuggets will win the nba playoffs

always

i considered putting them in the 8th spot but the west is really deep

League pass is the best 200 bucks I spend every year

There's an Internet only version and also a smaller Internet version where you pick five teams you want which should fill up your schedule nicely if you just pick a fave team or two plus a couple contenders

Mini pro tip the league pass apps let u listen to radio broadcasts and pick either home or away sometimes I rock that while walking the dog

(Many xposts to some league pass chatter)

oh duh the second hawks should be the raptors

tbf hawks are raptors

the internet is rich in previews and predictions today friends here is lowe http://grantland.com/the-triangle/nba-rankings-san-antonio-spurs-los-angeles-clippers-oklahoma-city-thunder-cleveland-cavaliers

xxxpost is there a way to get just the radio? granted basketball isnt as enjoyable via radio as baseball is but it'd be a decent substitute for the giant league pass splurge

how many zillions of words is the lowe piece, trying to decide if I'm gonna get anything done today

it's a preview piece tho you have to read it, ILHer's duty

i'm a couple paragraphs in and no bad jokes yet

paragraph 3 ends with an all caps "spursgasm!!!" ref so idk guys...

kawhi and splitter are out tonight

lol pop trolling already

ray allen still hasn't chosen a team?

idk if I were ray I'd chill til the break and make the obv choice (Spurs)

come on don't y'all have faith in a jalen rose guarantee that he's spending his twilight year with the cavs? surely he's never been wrong about anything he's predicted

ray prob hates bron by now, ray is a hateful man

oof but some of lowes numbers on miami minus bron are pretty rough

I just wanna see the Spurs playing polo out there with ray as a corner three option for 14 minutes a game, it'd be ridic

ya perfect fit for sure

it'd be like the space cowboys of the NBA

ray prob hates bron by now, ray is a hateful man

otm lebron probably forgot to dribble exactly three times then pass to him precisely 17 inches from the apex of the 3pt line's left side curve as the shot clock reaches exactly 4 and now ray hates him forever

lol that reads like im clowning goon but u know im clowning ray and also that seriously could really be true

The Kings are going to be entertaining! Owner Vivek Ranadivé has pitched the idea to the team’s brain trust of playing 4-on-5 defense and leaving one player to cherry-pick, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

lol plz do

naw it read right imo xp

they like chicago i guess along w the usual suspects

haralabob went hard on brandon jennings called him "terrible"

z lowe has a weird thing for monty williams because he sometimes runs "creative" stuff bob and bill accurately noted that his creative sets usually end up in a terrible midrange shot and also hes probably getting fired

everyone made fun of byron scott's boner for 1988 basketball

z lowe seemed half asleep and i have a weirdly hard time with haralabob's way of speaking, maybe his accent, am i anti canadian? i dunno

i think lowe noted somewhere that he had just gotten off a plane

the end of lowe's lakers summary:

There’s a chance this is the greatest stealth tank job of our generation.

...there is nothing stealth about what they are doing unless you are jim buss (even he prob gets it by now) or, like kobe, blinded by sociopathy and past glories and also just maybe possibly an idiot.

Remember reading that they're doing away with blackouts for League Pass, any one confirm?

speaking of lakers and idiots.. the lakers radio home station is the worst shit in the world.. if you guys dont want these updates let me know because it gets fucking old..

either way mychal thompson (father of klay) has been predicting the lakers are capable of 48 wins this year. FOURTY FUCKING EIGHT. when pressed on this this morning one of the co talking heads was like "dude the over under is 31 and Im having a hard time taking the over.. you still think theyre capable of 48?" then this dumb motherfucker responds 'well thats only if theyre healthy.. if they can stay healthy they can win 48'

insane

there's a part in that simmons/bob/lowe thing where simmons asks bob how much he'd pay to buy the hornets, that leads to simmons uttering "how much is it worth to you to be anthony davis' owner for the next ten years" and it's, uh...

well he does work for the lakers whats he gonna say xp

I wouldn't dismiss him so easily, he's also said that Klay is getting a max.

everyones saying that!

max klay is totes happening whether it should or not

even me even i'm saying it

klay should get a bledsoe type of deal

klay kind of has the "wait you didn't trade me for kevin love so i assume that means i'm worth a shit ton of money" leverage

yeah warriors are stuck their cap situation means theres no way to replace him if he took someone elses max offer

not that it wld be easy to dig up someone as good as him even if they could
