2014-15 Regular Season Thread

This may be the night boys. Minnesota is probably the second worst team in the league and is playing right up to their awful potential. 34% shooting for both teams to end the third, game in the low 50s. I'm feeling it. Philly is gonna grab this win to the tune of about 72-69

Don't look now but our favorite draft picks are in a dogfight against PHI.

I feel like Papa John's should just offer pizza to Sixers fans even if they didn't even score 90

Monta Ellis is so freaking clutch. I knew he could make that shot. I kept yelling before the shot, IF YOU LET MONTA SHOOT IT, HE WILL MAKE IT. And he did. You gotta make any other player shoot it.

Oh, I remember some Minny fans saying they would make the playoffs, etc. without Love and how the team would be better.

I wonder how they feel now.

Great for Philly though!

 

[Rick Astley]

Bennett is wow. Bennett is life.

Fans of every team that lose a superstar always start out believing the team will be better. Then, like the fans of teams that have lost superstars before them, they have to come to the realization that the superstar player actually was that good and basketball isn't a sport where you can replace one great player with 2 good ones and not lose a beat.

 

[Man Called X]

Damn you Minnesota. Damn you all to hell.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Wasn't Charlotte supposed to be good?

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Turnover, chase-down block, and assist in the span of 5 seconds? That's an active mofo...

They sound like we sounded when we lost our star or are we gonna act like we were above them.

I think we all acknowledged how incredible of a talent LeBron was but found it easy and necessary to hate on him. Don't get me wrong, I cheered for every the Heat played against, but I definitely sad "why did that SOB have to leave us?" many times.

This was a gem from the comments on a Wolves blog. They aren't too happy with Glen Taylor right now, and after a decade of bad basketball I can't blame them.

"Do you think anyone could talk Prince into buying the team?
If he cares about basketball even a quarter as much as Dave Chappelle has convinced me he does, I’d totally put up with the ridiculous frilly purple uniforms he’d make them all wear."

Poor Pau...dunk of the year so far?
