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

have a weird feeling that the lopsidedness of talent in the conferences is going to hurt the lakers' courting chances in the short term. like if you're kd do you go to dc and get to take half the season playing garbage teams and kids still figuring shit out or do you stay west and play the clippers warriors blazers mavs rockets etc 4 times a year each

rick fox was on the radio station I hate so much for the pregame and he was saying it was essential for the lakers to get 25ish minutes from randle every game or the season is a waste. =(

hate the lakers but this news sucks. donald sterling's ghost is haunting the wrong team.

agreed 100 percent this is not how i wanted them to be doomed

lakers upcoming schedule: suns tonight, friday-saturday back-to-back against clippers and warriors, suns on tuesday. this isn't going to get any better anytime soon.

There's a certain irony to this:

THJ's face is fucking priceless

re ajinca, I think it's quite possible that for someone of his height core strength/posture work could add an inch or two between his vertebrae

Sorry if I'm doing my forks imitation again.

PS byronball can be rearranged to spell Bronyball.

Yo guess who is starting tonight for the c's

RondOOOOOOOOOOOO

I would like it even better if Dwight went out of his way to smack Kobe every game but did not say a word to him

haha, kobe really lowering himself to dwight's level here.

An FT analysis of US tax laws shows that Mr Ballmer could claim about half of the purchase price in current terms over the next 15 years against his taxable income. The deduction can be claimed under a little-known feature of the tax code covering so-called active owners of sports franchises.

Under an exception in US law, buyers of sports franchises can use an accounting treatment known as goodwill against their other taxable income. This feature is commonly used by tax specialists to structure deals for sports teams. Goodwill is the difference between the purchase price of an asset and the actual cash and other fixed assets belonging to the team.

b/c you know who needs a billion dollars, it's steve ballmer, srsly tho the tax code is the worst

celtics have dubstep in their intro video btw

"Yall ready for BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, WOM-WOM-WOM-WOM-WOM-WOMWAAAAHM, WIBBLE WIBBLE WOOOOOOMP, this??"

Mike Scott's looking great. Expecting big things this yr

Man I know this is weird but I kind of really enjoy watching Joakim Noah play basketball now

Never been able to decide if he's cool or wack but he's just such a hoop mad dog that he's beaten all the sports-hate I could have for him out of me

McDermott just drew 3/5ths of the Knicks defense with a single dribble behind the 3pt line

as a college basketball fan, it took awhile to make this transition. but we all get there.

lol first half of first game but the celtics are just destroying the nets and looking pretty fun.

Ok the hornets logo is definitely too big on the court but I kind of like the honeycomb floor

Portland has a 9 pt spread over OKC tonight, that seems optimistic

bucks unis are so bland

MANIMAL

brooklyn's making it easy but the celtics are moving the ball like a much more experienced team. they're really mobile and feisty with sully, olynyk, and zeller playing in the frontcourt. they're also going to have some brutal shooting nights but they could surprise some teams.

rondo also looks like he took literally no time off, possibly he just plays basketball in his mind all the time.

Kemba got that new contract hop in his step

totally forgot derek fisher was coaching the knicks, what a complete mess

ban phil

bosh looks real good tonight

marcus smart with 4 steals off the bench, he's going to be a serious pest

Bosh is 30, an age when a lot of big men are just about in the middle of their peak effectiveness.

apparently kemba did some cool stuff tonight, game tying regular 3, game winner in OT.

Mike Scott 4-6 from 3, 20 pts in 21 min.

26-15 for bosh tonight and 3-4 from three

honestly can't imagine rooting for a team that has derek fisher coaching the triangle

knicks lookin good out there

Sub in T-Swift

wade left the game w/ an ankle injury. it's october.

wade pulling a willis reed in the first game of the season is peak peak peak wade

*Wade plays every fifth game of every third week of every month with at least 31 days* I'm resting for the playoffs

7 points, 8 assists and 13 boards for Lance tonight :-------------B
