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

what kind of coach would be ideal for the durant/russ combo? a carlisle disciple?

Scott Brooks on managing Russell Westbrook's minutes: "It's never easy to take him out. ... But you've got to be smart."

"smart. smart like my glasses."

he freelances too much on offense but that's a real far stretch from uncoachable

this is like the hallmark of uncoachability: busting the offense with no consequence or shame

melo: "sorry guys, i gotta cut this short, have to be at a thing."

*melo drives to jazz club, sax cradled close to his body*

coach brooks: right. here's the play. we'll let westy create something or other. you guys run around in case he needs to pass.

westbrook: look! a puppy!

coach brooks: ok! go get 'em, tiger! (slaps westbrook's butt)

yup

the griz logo is just a bigger twolves logo

that is my deepest observation for tonight

i'm hanging out on lakers twitter where the main problem, other than #Byronball, seems to be that kobe doesn't get enough calls.

hes had that problem his whole career its sad

man fuck you guys!

I mean for fucks sake if they aren't they certainly should be!!!

Melo and Shump showing #gamergate solidarity

it's certainly a thread of uncoachability, but there are many many other threads.

westbrook also happens to be a very good offensive player despite it all. he's not exactly michael beasley or antoine walker.

yeah but he could be so much better if he cleaned his game up a little and stopped taking bad shots

also has all the physical took to be a lock down defender and he is not at all

above photos are not melo's first rodeo in terms of gamergate-esque hats

i wld like to see what russ cld do w a good coach tho, wldve been better if he had a good coach since he came into the league obvs, he seems kinda destined to be a old school chucker on a mediocre team at this point

his bat familiar is not in the photo

Thought he bit its head off?

It always amazes me how ugly championship rings are

Those four in particular.

Anyone have some good deep cut twitter recommendations for this season?

The deeply entrenched tradition of putting several dozen tiny diamonds onto the limited surface area of a championship ring ensures they will be finely crafted pieces of gaudy trash.

holy shit the knicks box score is apocalyptic

They play in shoes though so it's a more accurate in-game height!

Took me a while to find it

I think Z-Bo's PR team is very good at getting it scrubbed from the internet

NBA.com's player tracking stats are pretty nice:
