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

a scoring big man who can't protect the rim even passably seems like, not the move when tyler zeller is already there and could maybe learn to sort of rim protect eventually

(I know zeller can't score like love can, obviously, most definitely not right now)

the boston media fawning over love would be lol-worthy for a while, to be sure, and then would revert to its usual feeling, which is something akin to doing shots of ipecac

i don't think you say no to kevin love because tyler zeller has turned into a halfway decent player

if it somehow happened and he was a perfect fit I would 100% eat crow over it, but A. him leaving is unlikely and B. going of all places to boston seems more unlikely

Used to be you'd see this kind of play once every week

they just showed baron davis on a commercial for latino branded nba merchandise and he looked very fit

Kevin Love quotes are such a bummer he should just stop talking altogether ala marshawn lynch and Bron should just pony up for any fines he gets

I mean if u can't be happy playing on a team that's getting hot at the right time next to the best player and probably has a a 50/50 shot at going to the finals what is wrong with you

Anyone know if he got dumped right before the season or something, shit seems deep

thinking part of it may be he slimmed down too much his game relies a lot on strength and he was always very strong

cant really say why hes so sad other than he has been playing very bad and bron hates him

kawhi is a beeeeeeast

Ya kawhi looking like someone put a fresh set of batteries in him

kawhi has longer arms than noah

tony p was on one in the 3rd q

tony baaaaaack

lol good for tirico pointing out that including pau in the nbas top latinos scores list makes no sense

now that's what I call Spurs

is mike breen trying to fuck with mjax on purpose talking about how all the warriors are having career highs this year?

I think that steph play/shot just broke NBA twitter

he cn do things no one else can https://vine.co/v/OEpiDph10dd

I'm unable to speak after watching that

I have been struck mute. I may never utter another word

I am undertaking a vow of silence to atone

~_~

it looks like paul cldve contested it but he was all no this is a good shot to let him take lol

Wow okay the trash that was that Austin rivers shot snapped me out of it

this game history

I keep missing the best Steph plays. :\

Livingston been balling lately, think he's feeling really comfortable with this offense now.

brooklyn losing, charlotte losing, boston leading, I can just taste that 8th seed

ok nvm brooklyn isn't losing all is obvs lost

fffffuuuuuuuuck, marcus :/

what a weird call

please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't harden m/l do that on every fucking drive? I really don't think he's gonna throw a deliberate 'bow with intent to hurt on a layup

like I would've bought a regular offensive foul call but beyond that is a stretch

peyton was acting, flagrant 1 would be like lol ok but flagrant 2 peyton better be losing blood all over the gd parquet

more frustrating was how the magic were able to slash and penetrate and get whatever they wanted with a small lineup.

ya they were a completely different and shockingly solid team in the 2nd half.

i def liked what i saw from peyton in the second half

you can tell waiters is really enjoying his role in the late-game offense here

his destiny is to average 30 for a team in china

lol yea that and like a dozen different 10-day contracts and games with 4/12 shooting in 20 mins

kill it with fire http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/12447271/dallas-mavericks-guard-rajon-rondo-dallas-mavericks-says-honor-kobe-bryant-wants-play-him?ex_cid=espnnbaTwitter

is that racist

I'll be there!

First 5000 fans receive "Lol Suns" shirts!

You know what if it doesn't work out in Dallas I say let rondo go play with kobe, it would be entertaining, especially if Byron Scott is still coach bc he will obviously have no control, they can just go full statler and Waldorf and be the grumpy old assholes of the NBA

if it does happen I want rondo to like never shoot ever bc I'd rather that than him taking 9 zillion long 2s

whiteside bad behavior https://vine.co/v/OEEq2zwjrv7

damn assertive jelly k got whiteside pissed enough to flagrant-2 him
