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

the timing of this moral stand is v sus but i welcome it as another episode in the developing cavs soap opera

got to think dion considering his behavior last year and his avowedly anti team play this year isnt long for this organization

wonder what they cld get for him

assertive jeff green?

can assertive jeff green play the two... maybe?

Dubious

But he might make a good stretch 4 when varajao goes down

yah wld be good smallball frontcourt green-bron-love

feel like he cld play the two tho especially considering theres so little talent there rn its generally not that hard of a defensive assignment anyway, then on O he can take threes and use his size/strength to get to the rim

they say he can guard twos too anyway idk

i don't see it but maybe i guess

feel like u guys r thinking of non assertive jeff green tho

@CelticsHub: Celtics confirm bone bruise and ankle sprain for Marcus Smart. He is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. Celtics dodge major bullet there.

thank goodness.

idk even assertive jeff is a three or smallball four i think.

wldnt require as much ball handling as a typical two either since bron takes care of that

he played two sometimes in okc iirc

non-aaertively i bet

4 is his best spot tho tbf

two and three tho are... not that different

btw bron looked pretty unexplosive and lackadaisical last night from what i saw which was the first half

was def just settling for whatever the D gave him

maybe it was his plan to coast through the regular season all along tho

maybe he concentrated so hard on losing weight he never really got in game shape

Spent too much time on hair restoration websites this summer

been in kind of a funk since bosh wouldnt help him move

Lol

"Cmon man just help me box up some stuff for like two hours...I got like a galaxy note 2 around here you can have. Where you going anyway? Wait...you're staying?"

two and three tho are... not that different

yeah you have a good point that bron handles the ball a lot, that would be an area of concern for me w/jeff

we can all agree that green is the nba player most likely to be traded this year right

yeah should be

btw im coming around to the concept the the celtics shd prob just resign rondo

re: the bron talk - he looked way better than he has all season thus far in the 2nd half, which I saw when I got home, although def still not at full power

xpost I think ainge has always wanted to resign rondo w/all things being equal, but I also think he's long since resigned himself to the probability of RR testing the FA market, assuming rondo wouldnt want to wait around during rebuilding

which, can anyone blame him

the celtics with rondo cld maybe sign a major free agent or make a trade that makes them relevant, if rondo walks theyre in full rebuilding mode w no end in sight

if the knicks turn out not wanting to make a run at rondo who does? lakers, sacto? the league is so stacked w good point guards

the cavs are loaded at the wing they have no use for jeff green lol

bron looked better to me last night, he had like 10 ast in the 1st half and had a couple of nice defensive plays

they literally started shawn marion last night fyi

i mean loaded with players who should probably retire!

(or grow up)

they do not nearly have a starting quality nba 2 guard

Dion Waiters was one hell of a draft pick

huh wow

Point of emphasis this year maybe?

Nene basically already singlehandedly broke the pacers in the first quarter of this game

chris paul is gonna set an assist-to-turnover record this year

if the knicks turn out not wanting to make a run at rondo who does? lakers, sacto? the league is so stacked w good point guards

Indy maybe? Not sure what they have to move for him though.

These Timberwolves black road alternate unis are like a compilation of everything we hate in new unis- v necks! Not really any team colors! Super wide side stripes! Sleeves!

I've been trying to see if the side is the pine tree pattern but it doesn't really come across on TV very well

Big problem with mainly black uniforms is the number of dudes wearing giant knee wraps or straight up leggings makes it look like they're in pants

I think they've had these alternates for a few years I've just never happened to catch them I think
