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

but also I think it would be fun to speculate about which current all stars will still be good / around / etc.

but just saying so-and-so will be "a top player" leads to nothing new we don't already do all the time anyway, which is argue over relative merits of players and disagree with one another. the asg metric at least allows the possibility of doing a victory dance.

there are all sorts of stats and awards that people use to argue about the relative merits of individual players, and few of them are fundamentally less indicative of ability that all-star game appearances.

fine with me if you suggest some better way

okay you talked me out of wanting to do this

i think maybe a ballot version of your favorite nba players for watching could be interesting

there'd be some pretty universal choices and some regional idiosyncrasies and some pretty personal choices that'd be given voice imo

i actually think "best" would be better if we do the 3 year thing. "favorite" would dilute the ballots too much. we're only gonna get like 10 people voting

KD has an injured left toe? dude ain't got no luck

I say we do a poll of favorite draft busts 2000-present

we could do a poll with like a lot of of different questions

of one where everyone just makes up their own questions

let's all interview each other and start a cool basketball magazine

poll should only include players who have worn hannibal lecter masks to protect broken noses etc

Maybe we should poll possible poll questions first then our magazine can be called hoop infinity: recursive polling

the format can be like tumblr comments

ive never quite understood ilxs obsession with polling. i assume its an ilm thing

polls are the best they're how you find out the order in which stuff is good

far too much ball discourse is just like "who is the best x?"" and id rather avoid it

i accept that some listing is necessary tho

btw rite now pekovic is trying to back down perk in the post while wiggins and westbro are dunking on everyone, its great

will always remember where I was when I read the tweet

--o-TIM-DUNCAN-SAD-facebook.jpg (Clay)

eh, maybe not, the celtics have definitely blown like 3/4 of their 23 point lead and kanter did a lot of damage

I spoke too soon I will eat my words honestly and say a prayer at the shrine for bizarro big man players who can't really shoot but somehow do stuff anyway

It's weird that tayshaun prince is a Celtic

I mean he's really not a Celtic he's just staying at the Danny ainge halfway house for expiring contracts and trade chaff for a lil bit but it's still funny

Kemba Walker will have surgery on a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee and is out indefinitely.

rip to the surging hornets

tayshaun has almost 20 tonight!
