Official 2013-14 NBA Regular Season Thread - SPOILERS!

Who was the idiot ragging on Patty Mills last season?

He was nice in the 1st qtr yesterday vs the Blazers. Scored 5 pts and then took a charge on Lillard. Had him all frustrated and was doing a great job, then Parker got subbed in and Lillard scored 7 straight and got rolling, ha ha.

Patty's getting some legit minutes this year already. Hope he keeps getting better and better.

The key for the Cavs to grab the W against the red hot Wolves tomorrow is to get off to a good start!!

First three games of the season we have started with a lack of effort, same problem as last season. We gotta attack the Wolves and be aggressive, set the tone early and make them run because coming on the second half of a back to back on the road, we gotta push the break and set the early tone

interesting 1st week of the nba...

* d-rose still finding his feet, trying to force things a little and get back into the groove again... look for it to start clicking properly after a solid month in
* i wonder if there was a market for philly being unbeaten after the first week and on top of the east LOL... mcw definitely the suprise packet of the first week in the L
* excellent start by minnesota, ive been predicting big things from them over last 2 season so hopefully they can finally stay healthy and show the talent they have on that team... love already 29ppb 15rpg - monster
* anthony davis is looking healthy and with better players around him should have a good 2nd season
* oladipo in orlando looking like the real deal and team started off positively, whole roster with something to prove
* man the lakers have a crap roster - just a whole bunch of bit parts put together
* celtics seriously tanking... theyll trade rondo once he is healthy and they get a few games into him... mid season i predict, no reason for him to be around - the race for wiggins is on!

... oh and kobe got a lump sum payment yesterday of $24M from the lakers #hardlife

was a crazy first week of the season for sure but for me i think the best moment was the Kings first game of the season vs Denver. After all the rumors in the off season about the kings moving, that Sac-Town crowd was nuts, honestly watching it, felt like a playoff game no joke. crowd was amazing and was good to see the kings get the win

My man Klay Thompson (Chris Mullin incarnated lol) is tearing it up. Talk about a hot hand.

 

[fastnbulbous]

Westbrook is back already!

How about the 76ers surprising a few? Apart from one punter who put $100 on them in vegas to start 3-0 and now is $27k richer.

The Cleveland Cavaliers used the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA draft to select forward Anthony Bennett. The Cavs have now played three regular season games and he's yet to make a field goal after 12 attempts. ESPN.com - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.rsbEw1dK.dpuf

 

[ozballer23]

Still no Greg Oden?

 

[lukesicari]

I'm not worried about Bennett. His just taking a while to adjust to the NBA game. Once he does start to adjust and hit his shots, I see him as becoming a 12-15 point scorer off the bench along with about 6 rebounds. That's all we need from him, to be a productive player off the bench.

[WhiteyTheCelticsFan]

To be honest, I am fine with Boston tanking as long as we don't trade Rondo!
