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

howard "did not spend his summer playing basketball or working out much"

ha that was a very ugly 4 on 1 by the rockets

a preview of the blazers season by an 8 year old boy. it is the best thing i have read in years.

"Their coach is named Terry, which is a girl's name a lot of the time but Terry is a bod and the coach of the Blazers. I would be cool with it if Terry is a girl, because I think girls and boys should have equal opportunities in the United States and all over the world. Paul Allen owns the Blazers. He sits on the baselines usually and kind of dresses dumpily. Sometimes he is with Dan Aykroyd. I think they are friends because they are both interested in ghosts and finding ghosts, and capturing ghosts and asking them after the afterlife."

lakers are the comedy of the year ALREADY

ha faced paul allen

Ha is that ad actually kobels lighting himself on fire when he realizes what a crap team he's trapped on

Btw lakers are on three of the first four nights of nationally televised games if you count NBA TV

So are the Bulls but I guess the Bulls have a legit shot to be good, I'd much rather watch them obv

Also we should probably enjoy rose for the two weeks we have him

ha kobe could legit self-immolate just before tip-off on christmas day and i'd probabyl be like "yes this is where the narrative was headed"

jordan hill receives 9 million

lakers prob the worst team not involved in an intentional years long cycle of self destruction and regeneration

who can burst into flame out of shear indignation

"playing like a mathematician" could take on new meaning this year

as in he might not be very athletic anymore get it

its funny cause kobes biggest liability is his low basketball iq

who can secretly murder dozens of homeless men across southern california every summer?

I would ask if Reggie understands what anonymous sources are and why sometimes they are obligated to remain anonymous but uh it's Reggie and I'm not sure he is from this planet

" I understand what Woodward and Bernstein did but why didn't deep throat come forward, Nixon shouldn't have to go out and answer all those questions"

reggie still upset at the cowardly and unethical journalist who leaked this

Lakers offense looks like a disaster. A disaster I tell you.

Papanikolaou is crafty

it's not even an offense at the moment.

man the tights are really creeping back into the league didnt they make a rule against that

or like half the guys who dont have tights have knee sleeves that reach almost to their socks

i hope at the end of the season they destroy all the tapes of the lakers' halfcourt game and we all agree it never happened

history should not remember this

Kobe: Put. That coffee. Down.
[pause]
Kobe: Coffee's for Kobes only.

that pick the lakers owe the suns is gonna be gooood

this season could really be defined by lakers/kobe schadenfreude

it's defined by kobe looking toward the sky, at the jig (which is up)

kobe's defense is AWFUL

nah. but a nice big dose of lakers/kobe schadenfreude will be a very welcome addition to a season mostly defined by good hoops played by good teams, teams beside which the lakers will merely be an irrelevancy, one that teams like the TWolves look forward to playing so as to get an easy W. it will be a season where kobe will not get a single vote for mvp and no one will blink or even notice or comment on it. :-)

Ariza + Papanikolaou > Parsons

loving kostas!!

nother predict

jabari parker will be a better nba player than andrew wiggins

not just this year but for their careers

i get the feeling from what i've seen of wiggins that he's gonna settle into a sorta darius miles w/ a good attitude place

lmbo kobe / dwight double techs

lakers fans chanting "kobe" down 25 on october 28th

guess it's the little things

which is why he's worth 24 mill a year

I'd imagine that has more to do with the Time Warner deal

Ariza + Papanikolaou > Parsons
