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

Probably wouldn't be as fun to watch but you're right.

I guess I'm not surprised that a guy who's used to putting up insane numbers on a shitty team for years is capable of leaning on that in a big game

Doesn't seem sustainable tho

Blatt isn't the guy to coach it out of him and the only guy he's played with that's expressed a problem with it is Waiters who is Waiters.

kyrie still super young and has a good chance of figuring this stuff out, needs the right coach tho to put him in the position to become a mastermind

like if he went to the spurs tomorrow i doubt hed be dribbling so much next week

Could he ever truly be a mastermind though?

I mean talented as he is, court vision has never seemed to be his strong suit

who knows prob he doesnt seem dumb or awful or anything

i think he can prob learn to make the right pass like he doesnt need to be steve nash

Maybe. Of course playing with shitty teammates for years has been a factor but even then he doesn't seem to have smarts in that sense like even Wall Curry CP3 etc

yeah i dont think hes the playmaker any of those guys are, i mean certainly not cp3, but prob he doesnt need to be, the playmaking point guard is a little passe even, its all about complete team ball movement these days anyway, like the ball just needs to move, and players need to move w/o the ball

wizards def put the ball in walls hands too much, cp3 its not a problem since hes a super genius, and the dubs obvs have great ball movement

I still think Atlanta could take Cleve in the ecf but between Kyrie and Lebron they have two guys who could legit uncork one of those unstoppable one man games in the playoffs

Then it's down to do they get outcoached and outplayed as a team and find themselves down 3-1 before that happens

btw bron had that freaked out look in his eyes last night prob has spurs ptsd

Oh he 100% does

We might even see it if there is a Celtics-cavs series somehow just the ghosts of 2010 haunting him, cavs jersey try to rip itself off every time he passes thru the tunnel

lmao

wld be cool to see curry become a lil bit more nashian as far as looking for the pass imo, wldnt be surprised if his game evolved that way hes super creative, he cld easily shoot 50% from three if he mixed it up a lil more and took fewer contested shots off the dribble, kept defenders guessing

yeah i still like atlanta, obvs kinda want to see how the teams are clicking come playoff time, cavs whole scheme on both sides of the ball def looking a lil sus from a playoff basketball perspective, chicago cld be a dark horse in this story too if they somehow manage to get healthy at the right time

Brad Stevens on Butler's bulldog puking on the court: "He's a tough little guy. I'm sure he didn't miss much of the game."

David Lee, the longtime starter who has not played in three of the past four games, will be inserted into the starting lineup to face the Nuggets. With him will be Shaun Livingston, Justin Holliday, Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green.

All these coaches getting their Pop on.

Whiteside already losing his mind

The Jazz have allowed 84 ppg since the allstar break

I can't get over these besleeved and gold trimmed celtics uniforms, they look so much like an unlicensed video game knockoff team

c's win behind random midrange dominance from evan turner

COMIN FOR THAT 8TH SEED

deandre jordan reportedly hit a 3

LOVE gallo's aggressiveness. god I missed him

Harrison Barnes sucks

Nuggets are the 5th team to beat both Atlanta & Golden State, joining the Cavs, Lakers, Grizzlies & Spurs. Did it in the last 3 days.

shaw was kinda bad i guess

tho i gues dub did rest their dudes tonight

John Schuhmann ‏@johnschuhmann 3m3 minutes ago
The Nuggets are also one of two teams that has lost to the Knicks, Sixers, Lakers & Wolves. (DET is the other.)

Russ another trip dub

Mavs beat down the clips weird

Russ another trip dub

see the vine i posted for his 10th rebound

Haha did not understand that vine.

Well boogie did 39-24 so that's cooler I guess

Somewhat concerned that nurkic doesn't fit the new/old nuggets pace

it feels so wrong but i am starting to believe in meyers leonard

Believe in NBA wites

leonard turning into a knock down three point shooter is def p left field

tho i gues dub did rest their dudes tonight

the hawks rested three starters during their loss too.

just looked at OKC's starters from last night - this fucking team literally started dion waiters at the 3 so it could keep roberson at the 2; the former goes 3/12 shooting and the latter has 2 points in 18 minutes

...and they win anyway! bc 1. RWB da juiceman and 2. timberwolves. what a time to be alive!

i believe it was the philly game in which the hawks rested xp

yeah hawks rested against sixers (b2b, night after the cavs), they played against the nuggets.

kerr was saying that he picked the denver game as the rest game partly because of the altitude.

Do NBA players shave their pubes? Who was the first to start doing it? May have asked this before.

what makes you think NBA players would be any different than regular people

found that russ photo kind of gross on a personal aesthetic level but good for him if he dgaf

I feel there is a certain metrosexuality element to pube shaving which may have stalled widespread adoption

lol did i miss something that sparked this conversation?
