The Real 2014-15 NBA Regular Season Thread

There's an article on ESPN Insider basically saying that Harden is improved on defense but still sucks. Basically just speaks to just how bad he was last year I guess haha.

Sorry Mexi

The Cavs are destroying teams left and right, 7 in a row.
 
Now, only 3 of those have come against over .500 teams, and one of those teams was missing a star player, but that's irrelevant.

Cavs are good.  Crazy thing is you could say LeBron is going at, what, 75% right now?

They have a top 5 defense currently.  Harden guards one of the thinnest positions in the league.  If I want an incompetent defender at any position, it's probably the 2. It would not shock me if Houston came out of the West.  It's easy to forget that Dwight/Harden have played just over 100 games together.

I'd honestly argue that Dwyane Wade/Kobe Bryant have nights where they are as incompetent and indifferent to D as Harden is.  Not even just due to age, Kobe has been a lazy defender for over 5 years now IMO.

Landry Fields starting tonight.  I actually LOL'd at that.  Wow.  I hate the "insert a decent defender who makes you play 4 vs 5 on offence" strategy.

I don't see it. They aren't built for a playoff run.

It's too bad the swung and missed on Bosh.  Would have been a really fun team to watch.  Could have been really elite on both ends.  

 

[travesy3]

I still don't agree with Cavs' starting 5 long term.  They need a guy at the 2 who can competently shoot/defend.

I love james Johnson

aldridge has played 15 games against us and he has his best all-around career numbers against us. sweet

 

[travesy3]

I hate watching Varejao.  He is bad and also annoying.

Jack is so annoying. Makes me want to switch over to the Cleveland feed.

I used to like him but he wears thin on me at times.  I wish he dialed it down.  Idk how Devlin doesn't kill him when he starts singing happy holidays when they advertise their holiday packs.

He also said amphibious earlier instead of ambidextrous

Doctor, does he have gills?
 
He does not have gills

James Johnson outran LeBron, and then LeBron just kind of let the ball go out of bounds 

 

[elcheato]

Apparently its Amir Johnson, I don't pay attention to the NBA 

 

[travesy3]

That's sad considering not only is Amir a PF but his ankles are permanently broken.  Lowry is dominating both sides of the floor.  The thing about the Raps is that they score in bunches with all the jumpers/3's they take.
