My daughter just commandeered the television. Is this game bring shown on TNT online?
marshon brooks is gonna be chucking up like 20 shots a game in the near future & its prob not the worst thing for the nets
Daniel if you tell me that you don’t work for an IP firm I will e-mail you...
WHOA WHOA where did the ginormous lead go as I looked away for a minute?
awful call lol
ugh a comeback was unlikely but it got totally killed right there
yeah refs jeeez
Hurting, I don’t work for an IP firm.
hmm, ref giveback just now?
e-mailed
yeah total makeup call
I’m going to make sure my daughter likes NBA so I don’t have that problem. Assuming I even have cable by then.
doolings stroke soooo nice
wtf are refs doin itg
idk they are high or something
Gracias.
It would be foolish to count the C’s out in the East.
wade’s taken some bad shots in this game
kevin love closing in on a 30–20
so how long until norris is starting over chalmers?
norris fucking cole!
xp tomorrow
If Pierce were in right now
I guess. But imagine as Cole develops even more.
miami is a scary team
yeah they’re winning like 55 games
Norris Cole really boosting the stock of the next PG who puts up a 20–20–20 game in college.
Uh, Cole is for real.
Yeah, they are for sure.
So which of the other two games will be more fun to watch right now?
Like three of those four teams I really barely know.
And as crazy as this will sound: don’t discount Eddy Curry. May not work out, but right now, he’s lost a TON of weight, and he is showing amazing, commendable determination. Miami is really good at these career-declination projects, and he would fill a niche.
Heat writer Michael Wallace says, at this rate, Curry will be able to wear “skinny jeans” by mid- January.
this lakers-jazz game will be torture
ice cole
lebron had a -7 tonight
lakers on the floor atm
blake
kapono
murphy
mcbob
world peace
mike brown is one pau-for-world peace substitution away from an actual NBA white-out
haha ok i definitely picked up on this before all of twitter did
luke walton is on the bench too! this could totally happen this year
Kevin Harlan’s fake laugh so much better than Breen’s
So which of the other two games will be more fun to watch right now?

Answer: neither.
alright the jazz are like 3–25 at the rim tonight
honestly the only reason i’m watching this game is because i really thought they could pull off a whiteout
I believe in Gordon Hayward
this ebanks kid is like ariza’s long-lost, half-as-talented twin
really? i hope the nolivity of the lock out is wearing off
just being a hater
MVP chat for Cole tonight, really?
ADD
Coke was really really good tonight. Better than Bron and Wade in the 4th
What’s a little disturbing is that the Heat again had trouble with the zone, and that Bron again lost a lot of aggressivenessin the 4th. Still, Heat look like a juggernaut.
Wiat you’re saying the team with two of the top 5 guys in the league is a juggernaut?
hes saying something abt the heat iirc
went to see Portland vs Sacto tonight. Other than being blinded by Jimmer not much to report. Kings gave up about as totally and completely as I’ve ever seen a team in the second half. They flat quit.
Yes I like the Heat’s gumption. They’re plucky!
I think they’re going places.
they got spunk

lollll when i was watching them on christmas i thought to myself “damn we are real close to an honest to god whitewash”
hb btw!

Interesting to see Heat with awesome 89% DReb Rate despite pace and small frontline. Big edge for them playing small compared to other tms
9 hours ago
xp thx!!
good to see the Bucks are going back to their vintage strategy of playing a team of slow white guys that commit like 20 fouls a game. Andrew Bogut, Ersan Ilyasova, Mike Dunleavy, Jon Brockman, Jon Leuer... it’s such a dream

<3 shaq
Shaq’s a student of the game, obv.
Tyson Chandler — the anchor of the Mavericks championship defense who left for New York because they only offered him a one-year contract to stay — is not surprised at the slow start. He told the New York Post he saw it coming when he and other veteran free agents only got one-year deals.
“Honestly, I kind of saw it coming because when you put a team in a situation where you say, ‘You’re the defending champions, but we’re not necessarily trying to repeat,’ and when I say that, I’m not saying that they don’t have the pieces there, I obviously think very highly of those guys, but I say that because they offered everybody one-year deals,” he said.
“So they knew nobody was going to necessarily accept that. … And when you have veteran guys in the locker room, the type of guys they got, in this time of their career, it’s tough to face that.”
god, i love WHO HE PLAY FOR so much
i missed the game last night, except for the norris cole show. love that dude. he seems like nate robinson except actually good?
i mean it’s been two games, but...
if cole’s still tearing it up in 30 games, he’ll have more cred. it’s more likely that other teams haven’t got much scouting on him, yet.
XD Shaq running around the studio yelling I SPEAK CHINESE
lol iPad attempted to correct shaq to Shaquille

he’ll have bumps and a learning curve. but the key is: cole is very good. blindingly fast and fearless, which are things you often can’t teach.
lol iPad attempted to correct shaq to Shaquille
surprised it didn’t try to correct shaq to “Wilt Chamberneezy”
lmao @ 广东老虎
think their intern is from HK or taiwan though gtfo w/ the traditional characters
The card actually reads “Ching chong yang wah ah soh”
omg that entire thing was amazing
lol @ ej with the bob barker microphone
The traditional characters are what makes it extra funny.
My feelings on Norris Cole
OOH: Dude got a ton of wide-open looks because the focus was not on him (bigger offensive fish to fry, celts short defensively, cole still an unknown quantity, etc.)
OTOH: He’s yet another offensive weapon on what already seemed like the scariest offense in NBA.
he’ll have bumps and a learning curve. but the key is: cole is very good. blindingly fast and fearless, which are things you often can’t teach.

the chances that this guy is actually ‘very good’ are pretty slight
i’m still kinda pissed tho that shaq is on the show permanently and not c webb
kinda feel like Daniel should have his own thread where he talks bt how diff heat players have the chance to be much better than everyone assumes while the rest of us talk abt basketball on this thread
i think the chances that he’s very good for a 28th overall pick and fifth scoring option are pretty decent
lol. sorry if i’m monopolizing.
cweb is amazing, r him n gp still on nbatv, cause that’s the real dream team
uh, i think we’re loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong past that point
xp
yeah i wish i got nba tv
the chances that this guy is actually ‘very good’ are pretty slight

Basically. I was impressed with his sheer ballsiness though — rookie who comes out swinging so hard on a team like that.
well of course — there’s like 12 “very good” players in the entire nba
i mean al horford made an all star team last year
it’s not that your monopolizing Daniel it’s just that most of yr posts are all ‘I like what dalembier brings’—the nba is srsy more ingesting than whatever incosiquential nba player the heat have rotting on the bench—like might want to hold off getting to amped abt eddy curry until he plays a minute
lol ingesting fn ipad
how do u even type on that thing
Cole may be good and he may not, but he is a huge upgrade over Mario Chalmers already.
heat total wins over/under 49.5 ....thoughts?
way over
how do u even type on that thing

its terrible! im on my lappy now
yeah, i think 50–16 was kind of a conservative projection for them going into this season
damn wade was out there packing dudes last night huh
dalembier = genetic hybrid of dalembert and bill laimbeer
well they did underperform last season too (I think they were projected at 66–16, obviously didn’t make it)
but yeah I was wondering if 49.5 seemed way too low to anyone else, as they’re certainly better than they were last year (and they did make the Finals, after all), and a lot of teams seem to be declining around them (Lakers, Celtics, Mavs all seem washed up)
The way the schedule is packed this year, there’s no upside to striving after a 50–16 regular season. Face it, there will be nights the Heat won’t feel like playing and there won’t be a good reason to put yet another W on the board, so they’ll coast a bit, or have a crap shooting night, etc.
48–18 would be grebt season for them. I say ‘no’ to 50 wins or more for any team this year.
well of course — there’s like 12 “very good” players in the entire nba

its sort of an interesting question, just off the top of my head id guess a 23 y/o rookie (v old!) who has a game like cole had in his 1st two games 20/4/4 50% paired w/another game which he did nothings career probabilities look something like
22% out of the league in 3 years
40% 10 mins a night bench player
25% sixth man
10% starter
3% allstar
obvs this isnt based on much except the observation that guys can have one good game that doesnt mean anything, and 23 y/o rookies tend to not improve that much
My guess is 53–13
kinda feel like Daniel should have his own thread where he talks bt how diff heat players have the chance to be much better than everyone assumes while the rest of us talk abt basketball on this thread
