2013-2014 NBA Season Thread: LET'S GO SPURDS!

[Mertron]

i hate all the songs, but that pitbull song is a special kind of awful

[Mertron]

included in the list of things i hate is that stupid GIGANTIC! GIGANTIC! A BIG BIG LOAD! song, which sounds like something a porn star would sing after taking one in the face

that one tops the list for me. and it gets stuck on your head to make it 100x worse

i love Gigantic, but I don't understand why a Pixies song from the early 90s is starting to gain traction here in 2014.

i'm pretty embarrassed for you here since you are generally someone that knows about things

Warriors want to hire Steve Kerr for head coach. Not sure if want...

Although, if he can implement the triangle offense as well as Phil Jackson... but let's face it, no one can do it better than Phil.

[Azull]

What makes people think Kerr will be a good head coach? His highly successful time as GM of the suns or his amazing articles on Yahoo Sports?

You're not too far off.

My wife watches the fuck out of basketball, and dives for the remote to mute that awful apple commercial.

I didn't even know they were saying "Gigantic, a big big load" until now - even worse.

[archibaldcrane]

seriously though what kind of poseur tryhard is using their iphone as a guitar tuner at a show or playing imaginary violin with one at an art exhibit

infuriating

they aren't, i was trying to be funny and tyven is a poopface (they're saying "love")

[Mertron]

however, every time you hear that commercial from now on you will hear load. you're welcome

I thought it was "a big big love." Load is way worse, although now instead of just annoying its also gross. I'm gonna keep picturing that girl taking a big big load, the one who thinks its cool to swing the phone around and make music too.

Everyone catch KD's MVP acceptance speech? The feels.

damnit spags

the ones who'll line up gleefully a day or two before launch and hold down that queue. These lines make for excellent, bookend-ing shots before and after every commercial break on Fox and CNN. Maybe we'll get an insightful interview or two with one of the tryhards. If only Apple would tighten down that planned obsolescence a little more, we could line up more often. And potentially, your wife will get to dive-mute the TV more.

Live sports are satisfactory television, clearly, but one should refrain from digesting too many of those top-shelf commercial breaks that millions are watching.

And yeah, KD, wow. One of the most real MVP-at-a-mic moments in recent memory. I lost it a little at the Caron bit around 6min30sec.

Technically, the song is about an older woman that wants a young black guy's cock. lol Great job by marketing there.

In other news, I hope the Trailblazers finally managed to catch their flight and get to SA for tomorrow's game. I'm pretty sure that was the arena concession staff out there last night.

Edit: The entire KD video is well worth a watch. Dude is humble as fuck. He takes time to call out every teammate and half of the staff working for the organization. Kind of surprised he didn't mention how awesome the nacho guy in section 221 was or some shit. lol Teared up a bit during the teammate section but man, the part with his mom killed me. As a Portland fan though this makes just a small part of me die. Who's to say he would have been anywhere near the same up here though. I know if we'd picked him we wouldn't have LA and Lillard. Still makes me wonder what could have been though.

They drafted Aldridge the year *before* they didn't draft Durant. They'd likely both still be on the Blazers, along with the ghost of Brandon Roy's knees.

[Eticket]

Damn you're right. Jesus. Sigh... that would have been awesome.

Yes, yes it would have. Sadly, Durant is only the second best player that the Blazers have passed over for a big man with bad knees.
