Running 2014-15 NBA Thread

Let's start it with yesterday's news: Durant out at least the first month after fracturing a foot.

Thunder wont get the No. 1 seed and Durant now won't repeat as mvp, but in the end, OKC should be fine.

 

What's the over/under of number of shots for Westbrook while Durant is on the IR?

 

Saw somewhere Westbrook was putting up about a shot a minute for the ~40 minutes he played last season without Durant. So I guess we can figure on 40-50 shots per game for the next month or two?

 

“Spike is an avid Knicks fan who doesn’t know anything about basketball,” Jackson said, via Frank Isola of the New York Daily News. “It’s not that complicated. It’s not rocket science.”

Nash out for the season. Bad back.

He's done.

 

Father Time is like the strange. Undefeated.

 

One of those guys you hoped would've won it at least once.

19 years. Bupkus.

 

The Suns had some heartbreaking losses. And the level of talent on those teams was top notch and perfect for the system.

 

A Robert Horry hipcheck away.

 

Hope he stays involved. He"s got a lot to offer.

 

Lakers traded 2 first-rounds and 2 second-round picks for Nash.

People like to say not getting Chris Paul is what's doomed the franchise, but you could argue actually getting Nash did just as much, if not more, damage.
