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

re jump hook - wade and d lee are up there but wouldn't say better atm

there's really not many great 2-way small forwards. Rick Barry, LeBron, Pippen. Most tend to be tilted in one direction or the other.

am I the only person who thinks mavs v rockets won't exactly be a cakewalk for houston?

it absolutely won't be now that houston is so depleted. i'd still take houston at home though

Spurs have tied the NBA record for consecutive wins by 12+ points.

(9)

remember how we were once again ready to rule them out

what do you mean "we" kemosabe

idk was a few of us even homer mod god bison was doubting

they looked pretty mediocre compared to the top western contenders until the all-star break its true, tho racked with injuries. tho pop playing rope-a-dope not outside the realm imo.

parker looked totally cooked, gonobli too

yeah we were talking about Parker being close to done not six weeks ago!

probably reads ilh tbh

i take great pride in the fact that i never wrote them off

pat yourself on the back, think I've got a streak of like 7 years in a row writing them off at some point during the reg season

I'm a big thabo fan but I'm not buying this "boy things just got easier for the Cavs!" thing we're hearing. Bazemore just as good really.

The Spurs only looked bad when Kawhi was struggling/injured right? Idk. They kept losing overtime games on total variance stuff.

half their lineup was hurt for the first part of the season and they still managed to stay in the playoffs in the west. it was pretty obvious that if they got healthy they were gonna be fine

wow had no idea thabo broke his ankle while getting arrested!

i will always write them off and some day it will be true hopefully before i die

Kawhi's greatness reminds me of what the Celtics could have had with Len Bias and Reggie Lewis-- a seamless transition.

my strategy as well

rly don't think the fate of the hawks was ever riding on a backup guard, also thabo would have been low on the list of players i'd pick to get a season-ending injury while getting arrested.

thabo is bad

I watch more sixers games than I should and I haven't seen this Nerlens offensive development that people talk about. I think most of it is just Ish Smith being a much better point guard for him.

every time it's a nerlens postup or iso it's the same awful awkwardness it's always been, sometimes the ball goes in I guess

As the New York Knicks' historically bad season mercifully nears an end, Derek Fisher sees no reason that the Knicks can't go from worst to first in a year.

just gotta get Shved healthy

I have a dream that the Knicks get the number one pick and Phil trades it for like vucevic and Tobias Harris bc they're in win now mode

this is kinda a shitty year to have the number 1

I have this feeling we may look back on the top 10 of this years draft and it will make more sense in reverse order.

I just wanna see Phil do dumb stuff but actually that trade might be a really good haul

Phil has been pretty damn boring as a GM, which is what they need I guess

This is really fucked up

if by boring you mean very bad

"boring" is not the apt description for "trading tyson chandler due to beef with malcontent star over representation" or "trading shumpert's potential as a JR salary dump"

"colossal tire fire" makes more sense imo

it's hard to imagine what the knicks could've done to be less fun to watch.
if they lose six to eight more games, they're at least interesting as curiosities. as it is, they're "historically" bad for the knicks but not even really bad enough to be noteworthily bad in the history of the nba. they're just a garden variety shit team. there's nothing loveable loser about them.

poor spo, he's smart, he knows it's the height of stupidity to push for the playoffs and not just start preparing for what will be a much better year next year

but riles wants what riles wants and he does not comprehend things like "not in playoffs for reasons beyond control have three rings still must prove something don't know what"

lol taj ruined a rose floater that prob would've gone in with his attempt at a tip, bulls not looking good rn

I guess a quarter like this is prob why riles thinks his team belongs in the playoffs

p sure spoelstra would rather be in the playoffs

all things being equal, yeah - who doesn't - but something also tells me he won't consider it an utter failure when they miss the playoffs, given what was beyond their control, whereas riles will

you should write slash fic

lol @ super cool

would be a decent zing if I understood how what I typed was specifically indicative of a spo-riles romance!

feel like spo could do way better tbh he's a handsome dude
