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

close one in the first sunday matinee game, deandre setting multiple records

Guys injuries are never funny but...goddamn I cannot stop laughing about Russell's face dent

And also the sequence of posts above capped by a shot of his...dented face

And the plunger advice clay posted as the grace note. Basically ilh runs this

I think it's mostly the phrase "face dent" that seems kinda amusing, especially considering the fact that most humans experience facial cuts and lacerations, but russ being the 1st soldier of skynet that he is, it's a dent

obviously get well soon tho robot russ

the gif version is amazing. his eyes....

someone should put fire on those ala kobe's reactionn to mike brown coaching

the pitbull intro for the abc games makes the ESPN lenny kravitz intro seen like the height of artistry

pitbull is good

xp *seem

gibson and butler now injured, does anybody give credence to theories that 1) thibs practices are too hard/often, 2) the chicago training staff is to some extent responsible (amin elhassen has mentioned this as a possibility several times since the start of this season) or perhaps that 3)thibs espousing the concept of rest has reached a critical point? is the pace of the schedule & travel the culrpit? interested in ur wildest hottest most speculative takes

also wonder if anybody has done any kind of look at injury rates league-wide to determine if what chicago is experiencing now/this season is outside expected parameters, or if it just seems that way

thibs def plays his players too many minutes this is a proven fact, extrapolating from that wld not be surprised if the entire org doesnt put enough effort into keeping players healthy

aside: lebron on the over-the-shoulder transition fast break block is probably my fav overall nba move

thibodeau's obsessive nature is def a huge factor at this rate and as such it's kinda unsurprising that he has one of the highest career win percentages among active coaches but has not taken a title

playing love w the second unit as much as possible seems like the ultimate no brainer

maybe they have been doing this idk

lol shumpert

wld kinda like to see houston blow cleve out today idk why just in the mood for that

"dwight howard happy to see someone else miss free throws" lol

re: melo horse have I ever bragged here abt how at 13 @ basketball camp I beat peak Tim Hardaway at horse in front of the whole camp and he got really pissed about it

hah what?

this game is fabulous btw everyone should watch it

there was a campwide single elimination horse tourney and the winner got to play Tim Hardaway, the camp sponsor. This was like 1993 or 94? I was an excellent shooter as a kid and won the tourney and played Hardaway in front of everyone and beat him bc he was a shitty outside shooter at the time and I knew it. I was also *extremely tiny* for my age and this embarrassed him further, I assume, and when he missed the last shot he grabbed the board and spiked the ball against the gym wall super hard and the crowd went silent and he walked out of the door, it was really weird for everyone.

melo would have destroyed me at horse though, let's be real.

were you like incredibly nervous

nah after blasting through the tourney basically untouched I was v confident and excited iirc. it was like "oh now I get to outshoot tim hardaway, cool."

the crowd was against me though, so that's like a couple hundred teenage boys yelling heinous stuff at you, which I don't think I'd experienced before or since.

that is p awesome clay

I cannot shoot for shit now btw, it was a passing phase. I was a teen korver and now I am a mere thirtyish perk.

jeez bron is 3-8 on FTs that's borderline rondoesque

clay that is a dope story

FEAR THE BEARD

for someone who can't really shoot well this dellavedova kid ain't half bad, today at least

I have not forgotten his dramatic crumpling a couple games back tho

bron is so bad at clock management idgi

dellevedova is half bad, in fact he's full bad, no idea how he gets the minutes he does

great play lebron

this is some ugly basketball now

lolllll

lmao tuff ft night 4 bron
