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

yeah and presumably it'll be one of those 2. i'd lean toward lillard because he's played more

huh, rookie sophomore game is now rookie & soph usa guys vs rookie and soph international players

I thought beal for a moment but his PER is worse than derozan's, so nooooope.

I'm not picking randomly exactly but I was also not being objective due to irrational biases. I do legit like derozan and think he's good, but as you say he's missed half his games

beal's also missed a ton of time and hasn't really looked right this year. you could make an argument for gortat, partic b/c there's comparatively little size on the east team.

I'm assuming pau is the de facto center, which sort of works, with bosh next up

whiteside snubbed obv

it'd be cool if at the last minute they made the 3 pt contestants do the dunk competition and visa-versa.

kinda interesting how it feels like the marquee event this year is the 3pt contest and the dunks are the afterthought, just one more symptom of the changing league

we are in the era of the greatest 3 pt shooting ever and the era of been-done dunks, it makes sense

dunk contests been garbage forever

I forget who it was that dismissed the crowd's excitement over a player dunking the ball back in the 60s or 70s by remarking that a dunk was only worth two points the same as any other basket, but that quote has acquired a different meaning in the modern NBA 3-point era.

yeah but the league and its arms still hyped it, but that seems absent now. xp

dunk contest been downhill since vince in 2000.

replace with nba jam inspired 2 on 2 contest

i have a lot of faith in lavine this year. i saw him almost break his jaw on the backboard in a wolves game this season. i don't understand how one man can have so much ups

that having been said i dont think ive seen a dunk contest since dwight wore the superman jersey which was like 2008? so my bar is p low right now

i think the average nba player is much more athletic now than in years past which makes big dunks more commonplace and less exciting

also there are only so many ways you can rotate your self, flip ball off something, bounce ball, jump over things before you're just blowing out candles over spud webb from the free throw line

remember when blake jumped over a kia and now he does a billion kia commercials? that was the worst.

I preferred that over putting on a cape and then not even really dunking it

j rich had some sweet gimmick-free dunks post 2000 vince

yep good call

oh no vince ankle injury tonight was grabbing his achilles!

grizz vs denver might not be too terrible. everything else - woof

smh 99-69 denver loss

lakers giving chi a run tho

this whole bulls season has the slight stink of the back half of last year's pacers

yeah the bulls lineup has been shook. all those injuries

imo it can be more detrimental to a teams flow when an existing players usage changes than when theres an actual trade

when the lakers offense is clicking it is quite enjoyable

i don't know any of these guys on the court for the lakers outside of jordan hill

haha omg

PAU

i spoke too soon

yeah they really fell apart there

wau pau

I mean imagine if he was in CP3's league in terms of smarts
