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

"Thabo Sefolosha (arrest, ankle) out Wednesday"

oh I just really immersed myself in the thoughts of kobe playing again next year

it was fucking awesome

lol good at math bad at people http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/12587848/old-questions-surface-new-dallas-mavericks-point-guard-rajon-rondo

(Rondo's Connect Four prowess has since become legendary and has made for heartwarming-yet-awkward community outreach moments. The day he was traded to Dallas in December, he spent his final hours as a Celtic at Boston Children's Hospital, crushing all comers in the game, repeatedly telling kids, "No mercy.")

oh

I can't say I totally miss the rondo experience

Also sadly I think playoff rondo is dead and buried

I just tried this but with Carmelo surrounded by whatever bogus roster overhaul pjax attempts and it was pretty awesome too

xp I dunno I think cuban can egg him onto to hate the fuck out of Houston, and if you give him national television and fury it is always possible

this is kind of ... interesting? i guess?

Man after that article Rondo is like my #2 fav guy in the NBA now

Jimmy Butler doesn't play good defense anymore

if it had touched on the free throw issues more deeply that would have been the definitive rondo article.

@bengolliver Flip Saunders on Andrew Wiggins: "You don't want [three-pointers] to become a major part of his game." Don't know whether to groan or cry

flip is so bad so so bad

mjax and JVG getting veeeeerrryyyy chippy in a debate about playoff structure

do tell

JVG is firmly in the top-16-teams playoff idea, mjax is not, it's calmed down now but at one point JVG shouted at Jackson after a typical Jackson platitude about balance, "now you're just throwing out cliche terms!" and mjax didn't talk for a good 4 mins after, I just imagine him seething and grumbling

lol i hope breen is ok.

christian minister blindly defends tradition shocker

Spurs look really n sync right now

Clays post haunts my head

'Clever girl' - me when I see the Spurs now

lol jeff just zinged the masters, he is ornery tonite

kawhi leonard is a top 5 player in the league rn, fuck everybody

lol

Howard: We can make it if we run.
Harden: No, we can't.
Howard: Why not?
Harden: Because we are being hunted.

how many teams wanna play spurs first round, even with home court? how many feel confident beating em 4 times right now? GS is probably it.

agreed

gs prob hella scared of the spurs in rd 2, remember the jump the spurs made from rd 1 to the semis last year?

i mean all teams should be scared of the spurs when you get right down to it

the claw but to fuck some lives up

yeah for all the talk all year abt how crazy the west is, it seems like injuries have thinned the ranks and the obv class of the conf are gsw and sas

Warriors w homecourt is a big deal cos they really can't beat sa in sa

I think lac and grizz are right behind

i wouldn't argue this

kawhi is who people thought paul george was. or wanted him to be. and more

so the cavs will totes rest bron against the celtics right

also, 4 years later, maaaaannnnn can you believe that the pacers traded kawhi on draft night

obv they "lost" that deal but they really needed a point guard, i get what they were doing at the time

the nuggets now have 3 big white guys with facial hair, the struggle is real for non-HD games

the blazers are experimenting with a live organist tonight, plz plz plz keep it

just dropped the hook from kiss from a rose ;)

has anyone written a good 'the fuck happened to the grizz' piece? if you took gs, sa, cle, and atl off the table and told me to pick a team to win it all i guess i'd go memphis cuz at one point this season they totally looked like that team to me. clips have been rated stronger than i'd expect in that hollinger rating almost all season but i have a hard time buying it, maybe i'm wrong. mavs would've regressed eventually and i don't think anybody thinks that trade worked out at all so i'm not going out on a limb here but after portland injury issues that seems like the biggest what if for the playoffs cuz if that offense could've stayed anywhere near where it was plus considering they were the only team to scare sa last year, they could've made things interesting.

jeff green, the bin laden plus-minus

Conley's been hurt, Marc is a lot less aggressive for some reason. I'd pick the Clips over them easy

Yea read a thing about how much Jeff green minutes eating into tony Allens minutes (and later, injury) has messed with everything negatively

flip saunders looks like he's selling used saturns on the side to fund his gambling problem tonight

flip looks like he's at a mingling session on night one of a 5 day cruise for single divorcees

didn't watch but the pellies didn't bother showing up for a must-win tonight, jeez
