the lakers have just pooped their big-boy pants: 2012-2013 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

Brooklyn Nets forward Gerald Wallace has been fined $5,000 by the NBA for flopping, joining teammate Reggie Evans as the only repeat offenders under the league's new penalty system.
The league also gave Clippers veteran Chauncey Billups a warning Wednesday for falling backward after launching a jumper against Utah with little or no contact.

floppers should be forced to wear a IM A FLOPPER cardboard sign outside the stadium before their next game

Q: "what's your favorite type of food?"

Nikola Pekovic: "It's meat. Different types of meat. Basically, I like meat."

its the al jazeera feeds always w/this so rad

Right now it was just Austin Croshere asking if he looked OK because his shirt is missing a button.

lol

and then at halftime they play soccer highlight reels

ok now the nuggets are starting Mozgov, wtf

Other times someone like Quinn Buckner will just be reading strings of digits out loud, which sounds almost like a shortwave radio number station.

croshere always sort of reminded me of jim carrey

all 7 games currently playing are w/in 3 points

KEVIN DING ‏@KevinDing
Now in the timeout huddle, Dwight is standing up and pointing a finger in the face of the seated Kobe.

dwight. do. not.

mamba will end you

XD

hey guys i'm dumb with this stuff but how do you guys watch live games on the computer?

i usually just google 'nba streaming'

this one has some p chill links http://nbaliveonline.tv/streaming

This is my go-to for basically all sports: http://www.thefirstrow.eu/

lagoon - that link worked! thank u!

i couldn't get firstrow to work, some weird plugin or something iLivid couldn't get it to work

u welcome

Hahahaha no, that's just a spammy ad-- you have to wait like ten seconds, then a "close" thing will pop up, then you close it, then you're done. Feel like I have a good feel for rando streaming sports sites and their ad structures. Chrome/AdBlock also means that I have no idea what most other people see when they go to those sites.

whenever fat Boris is makin reverse layups I treat it as a good omen for the rest of the game, I wonder if hollinger has a stat for that

bucks frontcourt is p abysmal afaict

John Hollinger ‏@johnhollinger
Saw another Nugget in there eating media meal but I must have missed Dre.

John Hollinger ‏@johnhollinger
Man, Andre Miller does NOT look good tonight.

weird the celtics announcers is more like "two way old guys just chatting about stuff"

this is whats known as the boston sports announcing style, check out a red sox game if you ever want to hear it in full effect

JR smith is insane

two on one break with 10 seconds left and the game tied and he floats out to the three point line!

man so many close losses for the bobcats

netw3rk ‏@netw3rk
JR, *shakes him by the shoulders* WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF FUCKING PCP ARE YOU ON!?

@KevinDing
Dwight yelled at Kobe for not rotating to Lopez. Kobe yelled back at Dwight, pointing toward the other end of the court.

Now in the timeout huddle, Dwight is standing up and pointing a finger in the face of the seated Kobe.

lol @ bobcats committing a five second violation after a timeout

when kobe retires, what number goes up in the rafters of staples center?

"neither, because Kobe will be charged with murdering and eating Dwight Howard in the next few months"

amirite

feel like theyll still prob retire his number tho

lmao at Kobe rollin up in Hannibal lecter gear at jersey retirement ceremony

I just want to say I AM STILL PICKING DWIGHT HOWARD'S INNARDS OUT OF MY TEETH, DO U DARE CROSS MAMBA

thats our mamba *shrug*

Rondo just took Shved behind the shed.

lmao kobe giving himself that nickname is def the best decision hes ever made, i still cant believe it

omg I have tolls overlooked a number retirement possibility
Lou bega revival tie-in, mamba no. 5

totally, not tolls

I can see Kobe asking they retire his name to the rafters. "I don't care about number 8 or 24, I want you to never have another player with 'Bryant' across the back of his jersey. And two statues out front, one young Kobe and one for the Mamba."

q: do u think Kobe identifies as an otherkin

lol @ "the seated kobe"

haha kobels would absolutely 100% go for two statues

its the al jazeera feeds always w/this so rad

deandre for kg, ok
deandre + bledsoe, no

lol well the celtics aren't going to trade their best player for deandre jordan straight-up. i'd do jordan + bledsoe if i were the clips

i'd do that easily.... they could prob get a pick back too

bledsoe is gonna be a great player but as long as CP3 is there he'll never be able to fully reach his potential. i think they should definitely try and deal him this year for a major piece. they could make a run to the finals.

The 'Free Eric Bledsoe' movement picking up steam on ILH.

cant picture that

"I just started yelling and going crazy," Harden said during Friday afternoon's All-Star media session. "[...] Just to hear my name called, and I saw it on TV as well — it just felt like such a great individual accomplishment."

well he had some playing time when chris paul was hurt

Would be sweet for the Clips to keep Bledsoe but he's such obvious tradebait, pretty straightforward "sell high" move. Think Millsap makes any team he goes to better and would probably fit better in a situation where he's 3rd/4th option. Only worry w/ the Clips would be Millsap clogging up the lane I guess.

What sucks about DeAndre is that he needs an amazing / creative pg to have any effect on the offensive end, so he'll probably put up worse numbers wherever he ends up.

it's kinda weird how Nash looks totally washed up but his shooting numbers are still insane; makes me wonder what he would do with a roster that actually made any kind of sense for him

yeah he's just noticeably never in the flow of the game

Because you have to be a lot of patient [laughs] when you think you are ready and the doctor's saying, like, "You still have two more weeks before you can run." And you are at home sitting on the couch, thinking on a basketball court and trying, like, not to think, because [puts hand to heart] it hurts inside. It's something. You have to be patient.

<3 ricky

why not bledsoe for favors?

cuz the jazz don't wanna trade favors?

Yeah Jazz have been pretty dead-set on Favors/Kanter.

note to self, one year from now:

do not watch the nba all-star pre-game feature

yes.

I kinda think Bledsoe between being not that good a shooter or distributor will be dece but not great, if they could get milsap seems like a no brainier
