2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

The scene is equal if not worse in Sacramento.

9 games doesn't indicate changed man/player.

Saw this on rotowire, does anyone have a vid of what happened?

Kyrie Irving: (Knee) MRI Scheduled Wednesday Morning


Irving said he felt a "pop" in his knee when he went down in Tuesday's game, adding that the knee is weak and he kept falling on the court after he was able to return in the fourth quarter, the Akron Beacon Journal reports. "I was praying to God when I came in [the locker room] that everything was going to be OK," he said. "I thought the worst had happened."


Cavs doctors cleared him to return, but Irving said he still didn't feel right. There will be an MRI Wednesday morning, when a definitive diagnosis will be released. Irving added that he is still hopeful that the injury will be slight, if anything, and his owners are surely hoping the same.

Nah the scene is more or less the same, if not marginally better by a smidge.

New system, not the #1 option, different playing style, offense ran thru DMC = changed man/player

LOL you have to be kidding right? have you seen the joke of an offensive system they have in Toronto? they just wanted Rudy and DeMar to chuck a contested iso shot on every play.  in Sacramento they have a real coach and an offensive system. A dominant big man who the offense is run through. Rudy is no longer the #1 option and he isnt having to create his own shot every time he touches the ball

Is that stunting Otto's growth post-injury?

Beal is my dude. Just wait for my SG rankings.

I don't think it's stunting Otto because he isn't ready to get big minutes yet. He still needs to get stronger and get more accustomed to the NBA game.

I wouldn't mind Ariza starting at SF for the next 2-3 years, he's a really good at 3&D and has all the veteran intangibles you look for in a player.

 

[champcruthik]

I'm the biggest Mike Malone supporter on here and that was before he was even mainstream on Cleveland or GS's benches.

I'm not talking coaching or offensive schemes. Casey shouldn't even have a job. Ujiri will change that shortly.

Toronto is a game and a half atop a mediocre division. Beat NYK in a home and home.

Lowry, Greasy, Ross, Amir, Jonas, DeRozan.

Stephenson is top 3 2-guard IMO

What's up nt s&t.. Happy New Years to you guys. Even though some of you guys get on my damn nerves and make my post count shoot way up.. Please keep it safe out there. A lot of reckless people out there acting a fool and probably drinking and driving. Have a good one.

Triz: You wild in the TAY thread.

Akhi: Tell me why. I want to agree. Liked his game since NYC.

Lance Stephenson is a top 2 guard? So your saying hes on the level of James harden and d-wade?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Stephenson is top 3 2-guard IMO

He's having a great season but he's the 4th option on that team. He's the ultimate role player but he isn't top 3 at his position

Stan Van Gundy: The Brooklyn Nets are a "bush league organization"


Former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy referred to the Brooklyn Nets as a "bush league organization" in a radio interview Monday.

"I mean this has looked like a bush league organization much of the year, they don't play with much effort at all, a very uninspired team. But at the same time they had so many people hurt you just don't know. And now they are not they are not going to be healthy all year…

"You can do whatever you want with the coaching situation but it is not going to change the situation with their roster. They just don't have a lot of options -- they don't have draft picks, they are way over the salary cap. They are probably in the worst situation of any team in the NBA right now."

[sea manup]

Imo klay is way too high for a 3 and D guy

 

[awwsome]

Royce Young ‏@royceyoung 7m
Russell Westbrook is in the Thunder's locker room pregame. He's already down to one crutch (had two on Sunday). Moving and looking good.

Migo: I have Lance on my original list. In hindsight, I should have Monta as a 2-guard and not on the PG list. PG is a hard position to differentiate after the top players.
