2013-2014 NBA season thread

I can honestly say that if Christina had to play against those Pistons he would literally start crying.

With all the hype Lebron gets for being able to guard all positions, I'd would've loved to see him attemp to guard guys like Hakeem or Shaq at their peek. He can barley guard Durant.

[Da_Chief]

Thats not really fair to Lebron though, quality big men couldn't guard those two in their prime I wouldn't expect him to be able to come close to guarding Shaq or Hakeem.

Jason Collins has reached agreement on a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets.

Collins, never a great talent, but the guy works hard and puts in a solid effort out there.

[Turner]

Publicity stunt by the nets now that All star weekend has come and gone ?

[killer_carlson]

No, the Nets need another big body inside after moving Evans. Collins will get the shot. I think this is a legit basketball move.

It will get lots more attention due to the social reasons, but this is a reasonable basketball move.

[octothorp]

Yeah, I think it's a legit move. His story might have given him a leg up over a handful of similarly-skilled replacement big men, but it's not like they passed over better players to sign Collins. And they probably figure they have the veteran lockerroom to handle any distractions.

[bluejays]

I'm just shocked the Russian own team signed the guy.

[Montana Moe]

I was hoping Portland would sign him. They could really use a big man right now, Aldridge, Freeland, Leonard all out with injuries.

[Hockey_Ninja]

Yeesh there are some horrible comments out their about Collins return. Sad to see people still live in the stone age.

An oldie, but a goodie...

Surprised to see no mention of two records that might make the NBA history books with one being downright UGLY and the other one being held down by the greatest NBA player ever.

The first being the 76ers 25 game losing streak which again is downright UGLY. At this point I think no doubt in peoples minds they are going to tie the longest losing streak ever with the Cavaliers as their next game is against the Rockets in Houston on Thursday. The other one that might make the NBA history books is KD who has scored at least 25 points in 35 consecutive games. MJ was the last do it and KD is only 5 back of tying his record of 40 games to do it. The record could be tied next Friday against the Rockets in Houston and broken all together two nights later against the Suns in Phoenix. As well just KD the MVP already as its over.

And yet...the Bucks are still worse.....incredible.

[Hockey_Ninja]

KD with 43 and the streak continues. This guy is a monster.

The Seattle Seahawks won their last game on February 2nd
The Philadelphia 76ers won their last game on January 29th

[bluejays]

NBA parity at its finest.

[Hockey_Ninja]

I think it's fair to say that the NBA is the worst when it comes to tanking. How Philly isn't last is baffling.
