Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

he seems hella shook

every shot the lakers have taken has been open

David Blatt lives in Cleveland, Ohio

ha lebron is doing that thing where he acts all offended that a player of ryan kelly's caliber is guarding him

whoaaaaa nice no look there

is this even worth hate-watching

cavs starting to kinda click and look decent

(in this particular game)

wes johnson just clowned lebron on a cut

oh shit, lebron bricked an alley-oop

good close out lebron https://vine.co/v/OjW6rOneEdw

ha xp

super hawt bron ice bath footage

that was odd

then cut to kobe using a foam roller on the sideline

I'm sure that's rly what tnt's audience needed, bleacher report

read that paul george is dunking in practice now

has anyone ever gone from premiere perimeter defender in the nba to not trying at all as fast as lebron has theres no way

seriously what is he doing out there

bron definitely has some ego issues, wonder if one way that manifests is his effort on D

legit props to kobe for chucking that full-courter at the buzzer

lebron looked worn out on that last possession

full-court heaves are fun. idk why adam silver won't just adopt my simple rule that all shot attempts past half-court only count as FGA if they go in, this would eliminate all the double-clutching at the end of quarters

i kind of enjoy the artistry involved in getting the shot off just not in time

funny thing about this game is the cavs are actually playing pretty well on offense and still are getting outscored by a middling lakers team

wtf is lebron doing

i missedd this yesterday:

Chances of Kobe shut down this season? Byron: "If we're nowhere near playoff contention in March...then we might discuss that."

benching love in crunch time again. incredible

lebron really just doesn't give a shit out there. it's something to behold. just trying out trick plays out there on his own

Love was hurt this time, legitimately

kobe and bron guarding each other hard near the end was the first half of a Tylenol commercial

loooooool

the lebron/kobe bromance last night was really weird

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 6 minutes ago
Nets unwillingness on Lance Stephenson has Brooklyn focused on dealing directly with Thunder for Brook Lopez, league sources tell Yahoo.

ya so forced, icky xp

kobe welcoming him into the non defending chuckers club

just watched the end of the game again, it does look like love's back was acting up just before he was taken out

who say no

why do the thunder want brook lopez i don't understand it

because hes an elite player (WHEN HEALTHY [MOVES SLOWLY])

their frontcourt rotation is fine even if you don't even take into account that durant should get minutes a lot of minutes at the 4 against certain teams

fine not good enough the west is an arms race and okc prob more desperate than most re the potential imminent departure of kd

also kd maybe hates jackson, and jackson is playing very poorly, time 2 panic

i feel like thunder really just want a backup center who isn't kendrick perkins

i mean lopez is an elite rim protector and his per is like ~23 over the last few seasons, jackson has shown an inability to blend with kd/westb its a worthy risk imo

ibaka and adams are both centers, plus they have collison and maybe mitch mcgary comes along in the second half enough to give you 6-8 minutes in the playoffs. AND you have durant for small ball.

if i'm them i'm looking to find a 3 and D guy

wilson chandler makes much more sense for them than brook lopez
