Official 2013-14 NBA Regular Season Thread - SPOILERS!

@NBATalkJoe: Hakeem Olajuwon at age 38:
11.9 - 7.4 - 1.2 - 49.8% FG

Roy Hibbert this season:
11.2 - 6.8 - 1.2 - 45.2% FG





@NBATalkJoe: Steve Francis 3rd season:
21.6 PPG 6.4 APG 41.7% FG

Kyrie Irving 3rd season:
21.1 PPG 6.2 APG 42.8% FG

Ouch Matt.

A bit harsh on the Hakeem comparison. He was always a freakish athlete, his younger days were incredible. Hibbert has laboured up and down the court his whole career, not even close to being the same athletically.

Kyrie and Francis could end up similar career wise.

Funny that the press and a lot of people aren't saying anything about him staying on when the game is pretty much over, but when Lebron/heat do it it's the end of the world.

I'd like to see him get past MJ in the streak records.

What are you going to do if you're Coach Brooks? Take him out with 3 minutes left and a point shy? Of course not. He would have been criticized if he did. I've seen at least 3 games where Brooks has sat Durant out the entire 4th quarter when he was having a high scoring game because they were in a blow out. I don't think it was unreasonable at all for him to go for the streak when it was in his grasp.

And I don't see how Durant can be criticized for bring in the game against Houston. He brought them to within a point with a minute to go, and he was doing what he could to help them win.

Oh he can be..... And he will, somewhere!

It's called Tall Poppy Syndrome

Did anyone mention Lebron youngest to 23k pts? Pretty awesome.

I was a bit baffled by his comments after the game vs Minny.

Lebron had a whinge that he didn't get any looks in clutch time, yet K. Love had 3 or 4.

K. Love didn't even have a play ran for him, he just got position and created a shot.

I'm sure Lebron is able to do that?

I still can't believe the amount of Heat fans that say Bosh is third rung on that Team! He is their most clutch player IMO, not just offensively but he always has a hand in a huge rebound or defensive play! Way bigger than Wade's role.

They really need him to be big in the playoffs again if they want a shot a 3

I couldn't agree more, I've heard guys still say they're hardly a big 3.

The guy is playing a role and could be leading a team to the playoffs on his own like he did with the Raps a while back.

A strained left hamstring sidelined Heat guard Dwyane Wade for a fifth consecutive game on Friday night, but Heat players said he’s improving, and LeBron James said Wade “probably” will return “within the next week.” There doesn’t appear to be concern about Wade’s availability for the start of the playoffs in two weeks.

They have been real nice to watch too.

Al Jeff killing it.

They may give the Pacers some troubles (if that's who they get).

Holy mackerel! Atlanta up 55-23 against Indiana. At halftime! No one has made more than a field goal for Indiana!

What are the chances Pacers make it out of the first round?

Are they about to become the biggest chokers in NBA history?
