2014-15 Regular Season Thread

[morgwon]

Bulls just got manhandled by the Wizards. Starters played like crap (except DRose). Thibs needs to stop playing Hinrich so much. He has been terrible this year.

Fun game to celebrate the FA Dreaming teams and the tankers.

Given your choice of any 10 currently healthy players off of the rosters of Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and LA, construct a roster that could make the playoffs in the west this year.

MCW
Kobe
Swaggy P
Sullinger
Noel

Jordan Hill
Zeller
Bradley
Wroten
Hardaway

Is that team making the playoffs in the Western Conference? Call me crazy but I say no way. Even if Melo is healthy and you throw him in, I think they'd struggle to be the 7th or 8th seed in the west.

Now give them two years together and it might be a different story.

Also amazing that as of tonight, the 4 weakest rosters in the NBA are in 4 of the biggest markets and traditional glory franchises of the league.

Super-smart play with .2 on the shot clock.

That would be the worst shooting backcourt in the league. MCW: 37%. Kobe: 37.5%. There would be no more homeless in this country with the number of bricks those two throw up.

The Knicks are losing 83 to 40 right now against Charlotte near the end of the third quarter. Sweet Jesus.

 

[Simon]

98-59 Charlotte. Damn.

No one can touch our tank though, but New York might come close to it.

 

[Marcus]

I hope the Knicks finish with the worst record and then end up picking 4th in the draft.

 

[morgwon]

NBA should institute a rule where you lose 10k in fan votes for every game under .500 your team is. Melo would lose 300k votes.

Brewer is shooting .420% from 3 in HOU. On five 3FGA per game.

WTF is going on ?? He's a career .300 ????

Just a matter of time until he misses the next 50 3's he takes.

 

[MirORich]

So John Henson had 4 blocks tonight in only 18 minutes! Got to bring him in for that 'rim protection' right?!

 

[Simon]

Pau Gasol: 46 points, 18 rebounds.

He still got it.

And that's also the answer to my tongue in cheek post directly above yours. Rim protection and blocked shots does not always equal good interior defense. That said, I actually would love Henson on this team for 15-20 minutes per game.

 

[Birdy89]

Pau is a stud.

Only makes $7 million a year. Biggest coup of the off-season without question.

He's saving his misses for the playoffs
