Random NBA Discussion 2013-14 Season

Why do people keep bringing Joel? Haslem=Wade in Miami.

I was so bored of no NBA games that I read/watched several NCAA stuff and this EMBIID KID is just... OMMMG.

Screw Wiggins or Jabari, even Randle. It's no competition. I haven't seen such a complete big man for a long time. 7 footer that's lightning quick, great footwork, both face up/back to the basket game, can shoot free throws, can pass, defensive force. I'm excited for this kid and Celtics' future. I am guessing he's going #1. (btw he's wiggin's teammate and is overshadowing him)

I don't really follow college bball but I really like what I see.

Won't so bored with that KD-LeBron coming up now, will we?

Reading the comments, I see that he won't be coming to the NBA next season. But yep, seems very talented. Entertaining. And I don't think he's 7'. From 5-10'/11' as someone mentioned there. Opposite of Durant, who claims to be 6'9 but actually is 6'11.

However, I have no knowledge on those videos except two teams playing basketball. I don't know NCAA or all the states of USA for that matter. Zero outside of NBA.

Haslem is the heart and soul of the Heat, he's taken less money twice to stay, totaling 24M. Pat Riley would be a real dick if he traded him.

It's like the Joel Anthony trade didn't even happen in your universe.

Oh yeah, he already is a dick. Trading Haslem would make him even more of a dick, on the level of the Bulls front office.

Hahahaha. Is anyone else watching KD pummeling LBJ? LBJ got in your face posterized by KD.

Come on homie. LeBron/Heat owned KD/OKC today. Loved the vintage DWade. Specially that off the board layup against 2 guys.

Miami hand OKC their largest loss of the season(21pts) and LeBron is back in the MVP race.

But what happened to his nose?

He was caught in the face by Ibaka's hand, and still manages to finish the dunk. Dunno why there's no foul called after that collision. If that happened to Durant it would've been a flagrant foul. smh

Good Wade showed up once again and saved LBJ's ass in trouble. Bad Westbrook showed up tonight suddenly back from an injury that he had no rhythm with the team.

The good old Batman & Robin. As for rhythm, Durant didn't have any either. They sucked harder than Battier from the 3 point line.

But what the fuck is up with Derek Fisher? That motherfucker was playing like a zombie from the 28 movie series. How he just speared LeBron and was unnecessarily roughing up Ray. And that look on his face after his 4th foul.

Yep, it should have been called a foul. But it worked out for the Heat, because if it was called a foul then the epic dunk wouldn't have count. Some funny calls by the refs like the Durant 3 point foul by Norris Cole.

As for the injury update:

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said James’ nose was swollen and bleeding, but confirmed that he passed concussion tests. Asked if James had X-rays on his nose, Spoelstra would only say that his superstar will be checked out Friday back in Miami. The Heat just finished a six-game road trip and don’t play again until Sunday against Chicago.

“He’s got a swollen nose right now, it’s bleeding. We’ll evaluate him when we get back to Miami,” Spoelstra said. “It’s sore, he took a shot; probably should have been at the free throw line after that, but he was aggressive and it was a heck of an attack right there. He got hit pretty good though in the nose, so we’ll just have to see when we get back.”

Lebron looks beefier and more ripped than ever. Total beast.

Ibaka got him good. Maybe Wade broke Kobe nose good.

COACH SHEEEEEEEEEED APPROVED

A bigman running like a deer and throwing it down hard that Sheed had to react like that. Drummond is really a GOAT in the making.

Is that the game where Drummond hit 0 for 8 freethrows? Could you post some nice Sheed reaction to it as well? kthxbai

The man purposely misses freethrows because he doesn't need them to dominate.

at the "Professionalism" annotation

Did COACH SHEED shout "MA BOY!" in that first video?

Nets should have hired COACH SHEED instead of that bum Jason Kidd.

Oden started for the Heat tonight. I don't know if there was real progress on his knees but it's certainly a feel good moment to see once done player to come this far.

Dear lord, did anybody catch the Nets-Lakers summary on nba.com? It was unbearable how they glorified every single standard thing Collins did. Just let the guy play and don't make him more than he is: a roleplayer big man on a 10-day-contract.

But he is the first OPENLY GAY NBA player. It's a LANDMARK.

As for Oden, yep. And what a promising rotation it could be if Oden was solid as a starting Center. Bosh beasted as a PF.

+1

MSM needs to quit promoting how being a gay is the greatest thing in this world.

76ers fans need to get some paper bags for their heads after tonight, Losing by 30?, To the Bucks?

They lost by 20, actually. But hey, it happens.
