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

the bulls ran the triangle a lot tonight btw

it's tough cuz he's got what 2-3 years of melo being decent and if they believe in melo as a possible championship leader you can't waste that time developing a teenaged center

somehow it worked, it turns out that having big men pass to people cutting to the basket works even in this modern age xp

steve blake is so the marty to kaman's rust

kevin harlan to his co-commentator: "I love when you talk analytics

do I even need to write slash fiction shit seems to write itself

bones has been really good since they started through him on the broadcasts, harlan + barry easily my fave nba combo rn

if they'd throw c-webb in there with them i'd be in announcing heaven

"He got all excited afterward. I told him to learn how to make a shot."

so at halftime old man isaiah goin in on how perimeter defense has never been worse than it is now, not so sure about that

oh and follows that up by saying at least in the college game the guys have fundamentals, hmm

lol isiah thomas, the guy who played in this game http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/198312130DEN.html

HOOS is at my place and when he saw Steve Kerr he said 'is that Neil Patrick Harris'

hahahaha

hoos otm, whattup hoos

great last 5 minutes coming up

kev what do you think about cj mccollum? he's been coming on in the past month or so.

i think mccollum is a nice poor-man's dame. they can use some offense off the bench, he's great for them as a 3rd or 4th guard

wow that move by curry to evade LMA under the basket

cj didn't really strike me as a guy who would make it in the league but i've been convinced he can involve into a decent 7th-8th man. he's got confidence if nothing else.

yeah a guy who plays like he belongs on the court and can make his 3s will have a place in the league

Crabbe's facial hair -_-

@bengolliver 17 of Stephen Curry's 45 points in the last 5:16. Outscored Blazers 17-12 by himself during that closing stretch

Crabbe's facial hair -_-

Fact known only to Cal peeps: Crabbe was on America's Next Top Model.

Steph went ham. The trajectory through the net on that last three was perfection.

Fun game

thabo is bad

― lag∞n, Thursday, April 9, 2015 5:52 PM (Yesterday)

this is so wrong. c'mon goon

/checks encyclopedia/ no... no

he did have a rough start to the season, but his defense was huge during that 19 game run

Thabo was bad in the context of an OKC offense where nobody besides KD and Russ could consistently create offense. He's always been a great defender.

its... not enough

he's not "bad". he's a defensive specialist, and a really good one (look at his numbers). he fits in fine on a team that doesn't need offense from him

a team built like the hawks can probably less afford to lose role players than others

hes "bad" at "basketball" being a perimeter defensive specialist is just not enough, there is literally in which its fine to get nothing from one of yr players on offense

-no situation-

it's not like he's a liability on offense. the hawks will be fine. prob play a lot more teague and schroeder together.

i think zach lowe tweeted something like this will hurt the hawks if they end up playing the cavs because demarre is the only wing stopper now but i only see thabo coming into play in like severe end of game scenarios where every possession is followed by a timeout

he is absolutely a liability on offense

not really in the hawks lineup. he was doing a good job of slashing and playing within the offense. he started out the season missing like all his 3s but got better as he went. anyway i said he's not a HUGE liability.

maybe i should be but i'm not that worried about the cavs

he literally cant shoot cant dribble cant finsh
