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

avery shot 40% on thress last year.

solid 71-69 final score in grizz v bobcats tonight

xpost to be fair the celtics made 1 out of 27 three attempts so it wasn't just bradley but he tried a bunch and they were all bricks and a half

james young looked more natural on the court than p much anyone on the team and he only got like 4 mins of garbage time play and I think 6 points

in more enjoyable news the lakers just blew a 10 point lead against golden state in Q2 so not all is lost

lol forever at these dudes

weird night in the NBA. jazz beat the suns. denver plays 12 on 8 against OKC's second string and gets blown out.

Splash bros did some things tonight. Klay new
Career high 41.

Kobe went offf in the 3rd q too

lakers allowed 472 points in the first 4 games.

v good team

I feel like the Jazz were just finally the team we saw in the preseason.

I have no explanation for that inbounds play gif, what in the world

So Sac come away 2-1 having opened against the Dubs, Blazers and Clips (Boogie with 34-17-5-3). Hate to jinx it but they've actually looked pretty cohesive in those games.

remember when you suckers were writing wade off?

i still write him off

it's november

klay has 20 again already

Klay getting to the rim more and more too.

Rotations already look better too and they still haven't played with lee yet.

klay is the goat now it's weird

I bought into klay about halfway through last year when he made the jump and kept improving.

Ha I remember legit wondering what the dubs would do when they would inevitably have to decide between klay and Harrison :/

regretting dropping klay from my fantasy keeper league in favor of derozan pretty hard this week

Klay's dad upped his allowance it looks like

damian has been godawful through two and a half games, starting to get nervous.gif

#return to mean

He'll be fine.

How many times has s Blake played on the blazers?

this is his third stint i believe

actually no his fourth! 04-05, 07-09, the second half of 09-10, and 14-15.

lmao

#Journeyman

he was soooo bad for the warriors last year

that series of years is like "times i spent dating my third girlfriend"

steve should have just bought property in portland and sublet it

he was better in the first half!

Shooting yah but his defense got really good and he started driving more

denver fans gonna enjoy these iggy FTs here

Well that was awesome. Sorry clay.

oh man i'm behind on my dvr, guess things don't turn around!

oh was thinking maybe it went to OT or something. man blazers execution at the end of the game left just a lil to be desired huh

how can you blame anyone for hoping a disease of the game would go away?

Klay smash was nice. And yah that inbound play was no good.

xpost wade is a detestable wangbag who has no knees. you can't expect a dude who needed to be rested 29 games to be effective at all to serve as the anchor of yr franchise.

sidebar: who has worse knees - amar'e or wade?

Amar'e no question

Ya. Wade is still effective when he plays at least.

remember when you suckers were writing wade off?

don't we have this conversation every year? and it always ends the same way (wade breaks down at the end of the season)

Feel like he might be showing out the first couple of games given the media talk over the year

Like prove that he's not 1) washed up 2) can function without Bron

Bosh is the big story for me on the Heat tho

Yup Wade is still really good but he inevitably sputters out and gets worse and worse as the season goes along

He just can't hold up over 82 games and especially long playoff runs when defenses key in on him anymore

I can't imagine he will be s real threat by the spring since now any playoff opponent can put their best wing defender on him instead of Lebron

I'm not that surprised Bosh is coming out strong though I still think he can be a #1 option for a fairly competitive east team, he basically spent the last four years saving some wear and tear by being the third option and they played four or five out and ditched offensive rebounds so far less banging inside than when he was the man in Toronto

Also he's never had any real injury problems beyond the time he missed a couple playoff rounds a few years ago iirc
